A small plug-on CAN node was
developed thus allowing a larger
number
of sensors on a (long) cable, the BatCAN. It is based on the Atmel ##.
It connects to the single in-line connector of the B-field sensor and
is placed directly on top of the sensor PCB. Physically the CAN-bus is
a 10-pole
flat-cable that easily converts to the standard 9 pin connector. A
connector can be mounted to support software debugging via the chip's
JTAG interface.
On the right the prototype
version is shown, mounted on the 3D B-field sensor.
