Scott,

I was pleased reading your mentioning the CAN bus.  I am following the
piclist considering  to switch from   x150 SLIO / 8051 front ends to more
flexible  MCP2510/pic combinations. Finding some support in sort of a
CANlist or from basic pic compatible drivers and routines would give me the
final kick.  Can you give me leads?

I have realised some machine control applications, where short CAN messages
are what we need. The can bus proved very stable and forgiving in a very
"noisy" environment. The built in sophisticated error detection and recovery
is what I like most in the CAN. The wide choice of pics calls for using them
for distributed intelligence.

Would be grateful for any help.
