RS485 CAN HAT For Raspberry Pi - Communication Board With MCP2515 Controller & SN65HVD230 Transceiver

About This Product

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts and IoT developers, this RS485 CAN HAT opens up so many possibilities for your projects! Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4, 3, 2, 1, Zero, and all the popular models, this add-on board gives your Pi long-distance communication capabilities that the standard GPIO pins just can't handle. The CAN function uses the MCP2515 controller via SPI interface with the SN65HVD230 transceiver, perfect for automotive, industrial, or robotics applications where reliable data transmission is crucial. The RS485 function operates through UART with half-duplex communication and automatic TX/RX control - no extra programming needed to manage the direction switching. The built-in TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) protection is a game-changer for reliability - it guards against surge voltages and electrostatic discharge, making your setup much more robust in real-world conditions. The standard 40-pin GPIO header means it stacks neatly on your Pi, and the compact 65x30mm size doesn't add much bulk. You get all the mounting hardware included, plus online development resources with examples in WiringPi and Python to get you started quickly. Whether you're building industrial monitoring systems, automotive diagnostics tools, home automation networks, or any project that requires reliable long-distance communication, this HAT delivers professional-grade performance at a hobbyist price. The quality components and thoughtful design make this one of those accessories that serious Pi users will appreciate for its reliability and capabilities.
