Version ESP of the CANduino - Whats new?

1. Most importantly, the CANduino vESP can be connected to the internet over WiFi (since it's using an ESP8266). The flash memory has a capacity of 4 MB.

2. If you place it on a breadboard, 2 rows of pins remain free on each side so you have enough space for your projects!

3. The CANduino has a USB-C port to reduce the number of different cables needed for your projects and to eliminate the need of constantly switching cables!

4. The USB-C port and the +5V Pin are protected with a reverse polarity protection and an overvoltage protection, so that even a careless moment does not end in a total loss. (Note that the zener diodes could be destroyed if the short-circuit current is too high.)

5. The CAN-bus functionality can be deactivated via a jumper if needed.

6. We also offer a breakout board with screw terminals for even easier prototyping: https://www.tindie.com/products/26465/

We recommend this board manager URL for the ESP8266 which must be inserted in the programming environment (Arduino IDE): https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

If the CANduino is not showing up on your computer, please download the driver for the CH340 which can be found here: http://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH341SER_ZIP.html

The CAN-Bus library we would recommend to use with the CANduino can be found here (along with some example sketches): https://github.com/autowp/arduino-mcp2515
