This project features a general-purpose electronic control board built around the ATmega328P microcontroller, integrated with a MCP2551 CAN transceiver. It is designed for modular sensor integration and robust communication in automotive or industrial "edge" applications.
- Microcontroller: ATmega328P (8-bit AVR).
- Communication: CAN-BUS 2.0 protocol via MCP2551.
- Power Management: On-board L7805 regulator (Supports 7V-12V DC input, provides stable 5V).
- Clock: External 16MHz crystal oscillator for precise timing.
- Termination: Integrated 120 Ohm termination resistor for CAN-BUS stability.
- Design: Through-Hole (THT) components for easy prototyping and soldering.
- Power Supply: Includes filtering capacitors (C1, C2) for noise reduction.
- Reset Circuit: 10k Ohm pull-up resistor for stable MCU operation.
- IO Access: Breakout pins for sensor connectivity.
