Hi All,

I several questions about the CAN bus using CCS:
1. where I can find example code ?
2. Is there a driver for the CAN bus ?

- What is the max distance for using CAN ?

Thanks,

If you buy the CCS compiler the CAN drivers and examples are provided with the compiler.

The CAN standards define the distances.

By the way, you can also buy a CAN demo board from CCS if you look at the website.

Depending on speed requirements you can go as much as 6 Kilometers.

If you are a registered CCS compiler user contact CCS and they should send you the files. They have been in the last 10-15 versions as far as I know.
