Arduino Library for the ESP32 CAN Bus (ESP32-Arduino-CAN)

V2.0

This is a rewrite of the original library created by miwagner. The old version of this library used registry commands to configure the TWAI¹ peripheral and has not been updated in years. Newer versions of the Espressif IDF have built in functions to configure the TWAI peripheral that are more reliable. V2.0 of this library incorporates these new IDF functions in the original function calls of the ESP32-Arduino-CAN library.

Features

Easily configure the ESP32 TWAI¹ peripheral
Send and receive CAN Bus messages
Various bus speeds
Standard (11bit) and extended (29bit) frames
~~CAN Message Filter~~

Usage

See the examples in the /examples folder.

TODO

Advanced example with RTOS tasks
Release to main branch, no push to miwagner version
Implement CAN Message Filter

TWAI is the name that Esperssif uses for the CAN peripheral. It stands for two wire automotive interface ↩︎
