  3. CANdevStudio

    Development tool for CAN bus simulation

  4. arduino-mcp2515

    Arduino MCP2515 CAN interface library

  5. Seeed_Arduino_CAN

    Seeed Arduino CAN-BUS library - MCP2518FD&MCP2515&MCP2551

  6. MCP_CAN_lib

    MCP_CAN Library

  7. RejsaCAN-ESP32

    ESP32 and ESP32-S3 board with CAN interface, runs on 12V power (with auto shutdown)

  8. arduino-canbus-monitor

    Can bus monitoring tool based on arduino and can bus shield. Implements CAN ASCII/SLCAN protocol compatible with Lawicel CAN232/CANUSB. Can be used for monitoring low speed CAN (interior can bus of most cars, less than 500kbps). For higher speeds serial port can become a bottleneck in case data density is high.

  9. can-utils

    A C++ DBC file parser, and a CAN telemetry tool (by mireo)

  10. acan-esp32

    An ESP32 CAN 2.0B library

  11. esp32-can-iot

    A ESP32 based interface between CAN-bus and IoT environments.

  12. SLSS-CANAnalyser

    SLSS CANAnalyser is Windows CAN-Bus-Analysis-Software to show, record and evaluate CAN-Bus signals / data. For the connection with the CAN-Bus System SLSS CANAnalyser uses one or more Arduino Micro-Controller with installed MCP2515-CAN Boards.
