CAN stands for Controller Area Network. This type of communication is inside several types of systems, the most common is automotive. These systems consists of typically wired controllers (microprocessors/microcontrollers) that talk to each other. There are protocols and methods to allow wireless communication, but wired is far more common. Unlike SPI, I2C, USB, and other similar formats, CAN Bus uses a much different format for data communication. CAN Bus is based off of differential voltage le
