£19.87 GBP Sale

The Feather M4 CAN Express is an upgraded version of one of our favorite Feathers, now powered by the ATSAME51 chipset, offering built-in CAN bus support! This powerful board features a 120MHz Cortex M4 processor with floating-point support, 512KB of Flash memory, and 192KB of RAM, making it perfect for fast, efficient CAN interfacing projects. The CAN transceiver chip, along with a 5V power converter, allows seamless communication even when running on battery power. The CAN signals and ground reference are available through a 3-pin terminal block, and the transceiver can be put to sleep for power saving.
