TIP: CANivore can be used with Phoenix Pro!

Features

USB to CAN FD adapter for Windows, FRC roboRIO, and Linux, for supported CTR-Electronics devices
Each CANivore adds an entirely new CAN FD network to PC or roboRIO
Can be used to control and update devices from a Windows PC
Seamlessly integrates into Phoenix Tuner
Wirelessly check, configure, and field-upgrade CANivore using roboRIO Wi-Fi and Phoenix Tuner.
Wirelessly check, configure and field-upgrade attached CAN devices using roboRIO Wi-Fi and Phoenix
Tuner.
ESP32 for wireless capabilities and programmable control (can be disabled to comply with FRC rules)
Can be USB powered without requiring additional power wiring
Can be powered from DC supply or battery (up to 28V) for standalone operation
Can be powered by both USB and power connector for redundant power supply
Reverse Input Power Protection
Reliable Weidmuller connector for power and CAN
Ability to give a custom name for a CANivore’s CAN bus
Custom name is used in Phoenix API to pick which CAN bus a Phoenix device uses
Supports Hardware Attached Simulation (desktop-simulation + actual hardware)
Robust bootloader and reliable field-upgrade (no physical button required, no “stuck states” that
requires user intervention)
Enclosure to help protect against debris
Software-selectable termination resistor (120 Ω)*
Includes a USB A-to-C cable - perfect for roboRIO use case
Supports USB Hub
Modern USB Type-C connector
Windows PC use case does not require USB Driver Install
CANivore kernel driver already included into NI roboRIO Image
Voltage measurement of V+ and 5V rails
CAN bus utilization measurement
Multi-color LEDs for Status, Communication, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth
