Hello All,
I have a sensor that provide datas through CAN-BUS (NMEA 2000 to be precise).
I'd like to start reading the data on the bus but as I have never really done anything with CAN BUS is new to me.
I understand the CAN-bus principle, however, I'd like to get some feedback on how to physically connect the BUS to a PIC as well as
how to use the CAN-BUS Macro in FC5.
is there a tutorial on this subject?
Thanks
henk

Hi Henk

The easiest way to use FC and Microcontrollers is the Can-Bus Eblock
