Communication Protocols

CAN Bus

Main page: CAN Bus

CAN bus is a Communication Protocol and networking standard designed for medium range communication between devices in an automotive environment. Because of its versatility and relatively low complexity, it is used in the vast majority of vehicles manufactured today. By letting multiple devices communicate with each-other through a common interface, wiring harness complexity can be reduced.

I²C

I²C or Inter-Integrated Circuit is a synchronous communication bus typically used for communication between devices on the same circuit board or in close proximity. Almost all microcontrollers support I²C and many devices such as sensors, displays, real-time-clocks and EEPROMs.
