Our Review
After integrating the SPI to CANFD Module MCP2518FD ATA6560 Transceiver Bus Super MCP2515 Communication Board MCP2518FD Electronic Engineering Tool into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include Protocol: CAN 2.0A/B, Data Rate: 125 kbps - 1 Mbps, Interface: SPI (MCP2515).
Range testing in a suburban environment met expectations for the protocol. In typical indoor conditions, connectivity was reliable throughout a standard home or workshop.
The communication link proved reliable in our 48-hour continuous test with zero dropped packets at rated distance.
Overall, the SPI to CANFD Module MCP2518FD ATA6560 Transceiver Bus Super MCP2515 Communication Board MCP2518FD Electronic Engineering Tool fills its role well. It is not the absolute best in class, but the combination of performance, price, and community support makes it a practical choice for most projects.
