INTRODUCTION
FEATURES
Chapter 2. Installation and Operation
This chapter discusses the setup and operation of the MCP2515 PICtail™ Demo
Board.
The MCP2515 PICtail™ Demo Board is designed to demonstrate the MCP2515 and
MCP25020 as simple, low-cost CAN nodes. Both nodes monitor an input push button
and send CAN messages with the button condition at regular intervals. The CAN
message is received by the other node, where a LED is set to mirror the button state.
The MCP2515 PICtail™ Demo Board has the following features:
• Two (2) CAN nodes consisting of:
• Each node also has one push button and one LED connected to the I/O.
• Two headers on Node A, used for programming the PICmicro
Unit (MCU) using the programming features of the PICkit™ 1 Flash Starter Kit or
PICkit™ 2 Microcontroller Programmer. Neither header is populated. Refer to
Appendix A. “Schematics and Layouts”.
- Node A: MCP2515, PIC16F676 and a MCP2551 CAN transceiver.
- Node B: MCP25020 CAN I/O Expander and MCP2551 CAN transceiver.
- The push button state from each node is sent to the other node via a CAN
message.
