Arduino MKR CAN Shield
Need to connect a device to a CAN (Controller Area Network) for communication within an automobile and with other CAN devices? The Arduino MKR CAN shield will provide automotive CAN connectivity.
Overview
With this shield you can easily connect to a CAN (Controller Area Network) Bus. Discover new possibilities of interaction between your Arduino MKR Board and the CAN ecosystem.
The MKR CAN shield can simplify the connection of the MKR boards with industrial systems and especially with automotive applications. This shield opens a new set of possible applications like smart vehicles, autonomous cars and drones. A CAN connection also provides the possibility to connect a MKR board directly with several types of industrial grade sensors, motors and displays.

We are happy to announce the new ROBOTIS DYNAMIXEL SHIELD for the Arduino MKR series. As part of the "Works with Arduino™" program, the DYNAMIXEL SHIELD expands the capabilities of the MKR family, opening up the opportunity to drive the DYNAMIXEL smart servos and create stunning robotics projects. The "Works with Arduino" program ensures both the compatibility and quality of the shield within the Arduino ecosystem. Thus, the shield is fully supported by a set of high-quality libraries that are available in the Arduino IDE. Combine the ROBOTIS DYNAMIXEL SHIELD with Arduino MKR boards to: Control up to 253 servos connected in a daisy chain Get real-time feedback like position, velocity, voltage, current, temperature, moving status, and additional itemsFine-tune motion characteristics Expand existing systems, and/or swap units for similar or upgraded models The ROBOTIS DYNAMIXEL SHIELD for the Arduino MKR series is available for pre-order on the Arduino online store.
