Evaluation Board For AT90CAN

Development kit for Microchip AT90CAN AVR microcontrollers. The board is designed to easily evaluate the product using demonstration software. To complement evaluation and enable additional development, the board can also be plugged into the STK500 starter kit. The standalone board has numerous serial interfaces (dual RS232, CAN, LIN, SPI & TWI) and resources such as keyboard, LEDs, voltage reading, light and temperature sensors, and speaker.
