CAN Bus Module(4G models) for libelium Plug and Sense
- Order number: CAN-PS-4G
- Manufacturer product ID: CAN-PS-4G
The CAN Bus module has been tested with various devices and cars, and is compatible with the majority of commercial modules, but this does not ensure the working with all of them. Be sure that the CAN Bus module fits your technical requirements. Every car manufacturer has different CAN Bus configurations so that must be studied carefully. It is the task of the CAN Bus user to perform the integration of the CAN Bus module with commercial devices like cars or sensors.

Connection Diagram
The CAN Bus module uses the SPI pins for communication. The SPI port allows more speed communication and frees up the Waspmote’s UART for other purposes. The Expansion Board allows to connect two boards at the same time in the Waspmote sensor platform. This means a lot of different combinations are possible using any of the radios available for Waspmote (802.15.4, ZigBee, DigiMesh, 868 MHz, 900 MHz, WiFi, GPRS, GPRS+GPS, 3G, 4G, Sigfox, LoRaWAN, Bluetooth Pro, Bluetooth Low Energy and RFID/NFC) and the CAN Bus module. The CAN Bus module must be plugged on the socket 0 and cannot be in use with other SPI modules like LoRa or RS-485.
