Eco-CAN V1.1

A simple modular PCB for CAN, I2c and headlights connectors. This controller was designed in order to simplify the electrical systems that partake in our Urban Vehicle.

By integrating CAN and I2C communication protocols, this board enables seamless interaction between various electronic modules while reducing wiring complexity. The dedicated headlight connectors allow for easy control of lighting systems.

Features:

Modular Design – Allows for easy expansion and integration with CAN systems;

CAN Bus Support – Enables reliable communication with automotive-grade peripherals;

I2C Interface – Facilitates low-power communication with multiple sensors while also integrating with our telemmetry system in the CAN Network;

Headlight Control – Simplifies wiring and management of lighting components;

Questions

How big is the Can PCB?

It measures 66 × 62.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Can use?

18 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 Can KiCad files?

From the jvtoppa/EcoCAN repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is can.kicad_pcb and its schematic can.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Can design in my own project?

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