This repository contains FDCAN addon boards for Nucleo

Most Nucleo boards have the same pinout for the CAN capable microcontrollers.

The adapter board uses PD0 and PD1 pins for FDCAN TX and RX pins.

Additionally PD3 is used for the STBY pin control.

You plug it into the left connector on the Nucleo board.

Questions

How big is the Nucleo fdcan PCB?

It measures 39.3 × 18.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Nucleo fdcan use?

7 parts. 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 Nucleo fdcan KiCad files?

From the esden/nucleo-fdcan repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is v0.1/nucleo_fdcan.kicad_pcb and its schematic v0.1/nucleo_fdcan.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Nucleo fdcan design in my own project?

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