Microchip has a few good appnotes that serve as introductory material. They might be worth looking at if you haven't already, I learned enough from them to implement a small network using PIC's. But, no I don't which books are good. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY! [EE]:,[OT]: ->Other [BUY]:,[AD]: ->Ads

Hi I have the same problem. I found 2 books useful: Can System Enginnering , Wolfhard Lawrenz, Springer Can -Bus, Hors Engels, Franzis (in German) For programming I try to study the documents available in http://www.emicros.com . Perhaps I will buy some items from them because they use the same compiler I use. If you need more info email me Regards Fernando > Edward Bockhoefer wrote: > > > > I wasn't sure if PIC was perhaps the best topics for the subject.

I wasn't sure if PIC was perhaps the best topics for the subject. I don't necessarily need code for a PIC controller. Nevertheless, I am new to the CAN "controller area network" standard. I was wondering if anyone knows of a "good" complete book on the subject (hardware and software engineering). Not just 500 pages of technical specifications. Perhaps one with some c/c++ code examples? There are three I have found on http://www.amazon.com, but I am not sure which one to buy? See Circuit Cellar Ink May & June 1995 issues. May 1995 issue covered CAN network principles; packet format, addressing, arbitration etc, The June issue covered a basic hardware implementation. Mike Schofield's canbus site (http://www.omegas.co.uk/CAN/) is also a good source, seems to have disappeared at the moment...
