Printed circuit design for CAN node
(I have not tested the printed circuit board yet, because I have been too busy in other priority works)
I want to develop very cheap and low power sensor/actuator network with electronic parts sold in Akizuki-Denshi, Tokyo.
Most of parts I use are DIP.
I pursue seamless communications between CAN-bus and MQTT-bus:
The CAN node consists of one base board and one expansion board.
See this page for expansion boards: EXPANSION BOARDS.
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| PIC16F1 MCU clock | 32MHz(Internal OSC 8MHz * 4 PLL) | |
| UART baud rate | 9600bps (fixed) | Full-duplex wire-rate is not supported |
| SPI clock | 2MHz (fixed) | |
| CAN speed | Max. 250kHz (default 125kHz) | |
| Oscillator for CAN controller | 8MHz (ceramic) | Murata Ceralock |
| Expansion board | 8 pins connected to PIC MCU |
This implementation supports CAN Standard Frame only (does not support Extended Frame). For home networking, 11bit Standard Identifier suffices.
=> FORMAT
This implementation supports CAN adapter functionality for PC and Android.

For example, to receive messages with SID 5, 10 and 15, set masks and filters to the CAN adapter as follows:
@m02047 --> RXM0 0b11111111111
@f05 --> RXF0 0b00000000101 (SID 5 message to RXB0)
@f110 --> RXF1 0b00000001010 (SID 10 message to RXB0)
@m12047 --> RXM1 0b11111111111
@f215 --> RXF2 0b00000001111 (SID 15 message to RXB1)
- Microchip MPLAB-X IDE with MCC plugin.
- FreeCAD
- KiCAD
- 3D printer BIQU Magician
- RaspberryPi
- Purchased CAN adaptors from Amazon.
- Evaluate CAN ==> EVALUATION.
- Developed my original ASCII-based protocol over serial for MCP2515. The protocol is mainly for evaluating MCP2515.
At first, I use this universal board to make a prototype of the CAN adaptor:
I have finished the first prototype (Marth 25-27, 2018). I have made three boards, and it took eight hours.
3D printed enclosure for CAN node
- Purchase three pairs of MCP2515 and MCP2561 in Akihabara.
- Develop my original CAN adaptor board.
- Develop CAN-MQTT gateway on RasPi
and OpenWrt. - Develop a 3D-printed DIN rail enclosure for the board by using FreeCAD.
Mount all of them on DIN rail (incl. RasPi).Add SLCAN that is ASCII-based protocol for SocketCAN.
- Evaluate PIC16F18326 that is cheaper than PIC16F1825 and supports two MSSPs.
- Use KiCAD to redesign the circuit for PIC16F18326.
- Adopt moduler architecture: base board and sensor/actuator building blocks.
- Support sensors and actuators: doppler sensor, CdS, servo motor etc.
