1. Introduction
Thank you for your interest in the CY8CKIT-026 CAN and LIN Shield Kit. This kit is intended to
demonstrate the CAN and LIN bus communications in Cypress’s PSoC
®
products.
The CY8CKIT-026 CAN and LIN Shield Kit is an Arduino compatible shield board that is used with
several Cypress kits such as the CY8CKIT-042 PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit/CY8CKIT-044 PSoC 4 M-Series
Pioneer Kit or FM4-176L-S6E2GM - ARM
®
Cortex
®
-M4 MCU Pioneer Kit. It enables you to evaluate
the Controller Area Network (CAN) and Local Interconnect Network (LIN) slave communication
capability of Cypress devices. You can design your own projects with easy-to-use CAN and LIN
slave components in Cypress’s PSoC Creator™ software, or by altering code examples provided
with this kit.
This kit guide provides details on the kit contents, hardware, example projects, schematics, and
BOM.
