CAN Bus Development with ESP32-WROOM32 Development Board
The ESP32 integrates a CAN Bus controller compatible with the NXP SJA1000. Thus, it is CAN 2.0B specification compliant. As with the SJA1000, the ESP32 CAN Bus controller provides only the data link layer and the physical layer signaling sublayer. Therefore, an external transceiver module is required, which converts the CAN-RX and CAN-TX signals of the ESP32 into CAN_H and CAN_L bus signals. The transceiver, such as the MCP2551 or SN65HVD23X, provides compatibility with ISO 11898-2.
This post will demonstrate how to add a CAN Bus port to the ESP32-WROOM32 development board, i.e., regarding hardware and software.&nb
