What is CAN?
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a robust serial communication protocol widely used in automotive and industrial applications. It allows microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other within a network without a host computer. It's commonly used for vehicle diagnostics, control systems, and sensor networks.
