Hello forum,
I am working with CAN a lot these days. I have some MCP2515 modules, the generic NiRen ebay/amazon type, with 8MHz crystals. Most of the shields around, such as the Seeed or Sparkfun ones, have 16MHz crystals but are about 5 times as expensive.
My question is: Can I replace the 8MHz crystals on the breakouts with 16MHz ones? Has anyone done this? Are there any real benefits?
Thanks,
Isaac
