CAN Communication Protocol is most used communication protocol used in the automotive systems where there are multiple components sending and receiving data simultaneously at a very high rate. Our normal non-automotive microcontrollers and development boards use either SPI or UART communication protocols which are best for short distance communication between few components. Hence we will need a module which converts the CAN data coming on the CAN lines to SPI communication protocol to be read by our development board this MCP2515 CAN Bus module fits the bill perfectly. It also has 120Ω terminating resistance for impedance matching and ensuring long distance data transmission. It has MCP2515 IC from MicroChip, onboard to convert the can data to SPI data. You can use this SPI data with Arduino, Raspberry Pi etc. development boards.
