CAN Bus Library

Arduino library for MCP2515, it's available for most of theArduino boards, we test it with Arduino UNO, Leonardo, Mega as well as Zero.

With this library, you can,

1. Send a CAN2.0 frame
2. Receive a CAN2.0 frame
3. Get data from OBD-II
4. Set the masks and filters, there're 32 masks and filters.

Installation

You can install it similiar to any other Arduino libraries, using the Library Manager or from a Zip file in the Arduino IDE.

• Install using the Library Manager

1. In the Arduino IDE, navigate to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries...
2. Search for "mcp_canbus" to find this library
3. Click "INSTALL"

• Install from a Zip file

1. Download this library
2. Extract the zip file
3. In the Arduino IDE, navigate to Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library

You can also read how to install mcp_canbus library for a reference.

Respository Contents

• /examples - Example sketches for the library (.ino). Run these from the Arduino IDE.
• /src - Source files for the library (.cpp, .h).
• keywords.txt - Keywords from this library that will be highlighted in the Arduino IDE.
• library.properties - General library properties for the Arduino package manager.
