What is CANbus?
CAN bus (Controller Area Network bus) is a robust vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other in applications without a host computer. It is a message-based protocol, originally designed for in-vehicle networking in automobiles, but is also used in other contexts such as industrial automation, medical equipment, and aerospace.
