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.

Hackster is a hardware creation community and since last february has been organizing Hardware Weekends with hackathons all over US. On Saturday and Sunday June 26th and 27th it's coming back to New York City for the last time in 2015. This hackathon is focused on open source hardware and the maker communities across America: all ages and skill levels are welcome (Children under 16 should be accompanied by an adult.) Here's a short video from their event taking place at Kickstarter offices last month and some pictures past events. Hackster is providing all the food, tools, soldering stations, 3D printers, workshops and gear (Arduinos, Particle, LinkItOne, Intel Edison, Pebble, Smart Things, and software from Autodesk, Azure and more!) $1000 Grand Prize from Microsoft and Arduino Zeros from Hackster! Register your participation here. It's going to be a lot of fun!
