valerun:

  1. is CAN termination resistor (120R) needed on this board? If it's connected to fully configured CAN bus, one would have to desolder 0402 part from the board...

  2. As you saw in the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPL8APZyh4A), the idea is to have a separate landing board in the UNO format. That board would provide micro-USB connection, ability to power from 7-12V source, etc. The question is what else we should provide on that board. For now, we have added a second CAN tranceiver - after all, most of our own uses will be automotive-related. What else?

  3. If you were really paying attention to the video, you could spot a few MicroShields on the PCB array. At the moment, we have a WiFi MicroShield and a LCD MicroShield. What else could be interesting?

Hi Val.

My answers:

  1. Yes. A termination resistor 120R is necessary. Normally, a select jumper is used in series with it to select it or not.

2 & 3. Think about adding an Ethernet PHY as a separate module (similar to the one from elechouse) or soldered in your UNO landing board.
