What is CAN protocol?

The Controller Area Network (CAN) bus is a robust, message-based protocol designed for allowing microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other in applications without a host computer. It is primarily used in automotive applications, but also sees use in other industries like industrial automation, medical equipment, and aerospace.
