CANivore™- CAN FD Bus Expansion for FRC & Robotics

The CANivore™ is a high-performance USB-to-CAN FD adapter that expands your robot’s CAN network capabilities. By adding additional CAN FD buses to the roboRIO, it enables precise control of supported CTR Electronics devices using Phoenix Pro licensing. Designed for FRC teams, competitive robotics systems, and professional automation applications, the CANivore™ delivers faster communication, increased bandwidth, and reliable network control for complex robotic and automation setups.

Please note that only CAN FD-compatible devices can operate on a CAN FD bus. Fully compatible with Phoenix 6 and Phoenix Pro licensing, the CANivore™ integrates seamlessly into the Phoenix ecosystem for advanced control and monitoring.
