TXDemo

Demo board for CAN and XBee communication

Developped for a UTT course.

This board has onboard CAN communication and fits a XBee adapter (see XBeeSX868_adapter) in order to communicate with both, using a homemade protocol.

This board is a demo board for functions that will be implemented on a robot taking part in the Coupe de france de Robotique.

Questions

How big is the TXDemo PCB?

It measures 100 × 51 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the TXDemo use?

43 parts, built around the MCP2551-I/P and MCP2515-I. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the TXDemo KiCad files?

From the ElBabar/TXDemo repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/TXDemo.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the TXDemo design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ElBabar before reusing the design.
