CAN (Controller Area Network) is a communication standard primarily intended for use in automotive industry. It enables the
microcontroller to communicate to a car device without using a host PC. In addition, such communication is widely used in industrial
automation. The BIGAVR6 uses the MCP2551 circuit for CAN communication. This circuit provides an interface between the
microcontroller and some peripheral device. To enable connection between the microcontroller and MCP2551, it is necessary to set
switches 3 and 4 on the DIP switch SW14 to the ON position.
