The ELE CAN-Bus Shield V1.5 adds CAN-Bus communication capability to your Arduino. Built around the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller and MCP2551 CAN transceiver, it supports CAN V2.0B at speeds up to 1 Mb/s with both standard (11-bit) and extended (29-bit) frames.
The shield connects via a standard 9-pin sub-D connector, making it ideal for OBD-II automotive diagnostics. An onboard microSD card holder allows direct data logging without additional hardware.
Key Features
- MCP2515 + MCP2551 – CAN controller and transceiver for reliable bus communication
- CAN V2.0B – Up to 1 Mb/s with standard (11-bit) and extended (29-bit) data and remote frames
- SPI Interface – Up to 10 MHz for fast communication with the host Arduino
- Two Receive Buffers – Prioritised message storage
- 9-Pin Sub-D Connector – Industry-standard connection for OBD-II cables
- MicroSD Card Holder – Onboard storage for data logging
- Two LED Indicators – Visual status feedback
Compatibility
- Arduino Mega
- Arduino Leonardo
Ideal For
- Automotive OBD-II diagnostics and data logging
- Industrial CAN-Bus communication
- Vehicle sensor monitoring
- Machine tool interfacing
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- microSD card
- A microSD card is a small removable memory card used to store files such as audio tracks. For this product, the card is where the sound files live, so its capacity and formatting can affect how many sounds you can use.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
- SPI
- A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
