Question1:Can't send and receive data? Answer: 1.Make sure the baud rates on both sides are the same; 2.The fixed frame ID is set in the routine: 0X123, please set the sending and receiving CAN ID of the other end of your CAN to be x0123; Question2:How to configure the config.txt file when the Ubuntu system is installed on the Raspberry Pi? Answer: 1.Mainstream Ubuntu system config.txt files are usually in the /boot/firmware folder 2.Or use the SD card of the Raspberry Pi to read and change the config.txt file under the computer (or other host that can recognize the SD card) through the card reader. Review: Used it to connect NMEA2000 boat network to a Raspberry Pi - easy to install and setup using the Openplotter OS. worked easily with a Raymarine Axiom 7 chart plotter, allowing me to get GPS to the Pi from the Axiom and AIS from the Pi to the Axiom. great value for money Review: Nice setup - Easy setup on my Voron 2.4. Follow the online instructions and setup is a piece of cake. ## Features - RS485 CAN HAT for Raspberry Pi, Allows Stable Long-distance Communication.It is compatible with Raspberry Pi 4B/3B+/3B/2B/Zero/Zero W/Zero WH/ Zero 2 W/ 2WH.The RS485 CAN HAT will enables your Pi to communicate with other devices stably in long-distance via RS485/CAN functions. - Expand CAN and RS485 Functions: CAN function: onboard CAN controller MCP2515 via SPI interface, onboard transceiver SIT65HVD230DR; RS485 function: controlled via UART, half-duplex communication, supports automatic TX/RX control without programming, onboard transceiver SP3485. - Onboard 120Ω terminal resistor for RS485 and CAN interfaces, enabled via DIP switch.

Will this work? Do I need anything else?** A: If you connect this board to your Pi and connect the board to a properly terminated CAN bus to your printer, you should be able to use the Linux SocketCAN interface to talk to the printer. I looked the Snapmaker and there is some sort of CAN hub you can use to make a connection. Passively monitoring is more tricky - that's best done with a specific tool such as a Kvaser analyzer or a logic analyzer if you pick off the CAN signals after they have been converted from CANH/CANL by a logic transceiver. The CAN board does support direct connection to the CAN network, and there is a lot of sample code on the web on how to bring up SocketCAN with ifConfig on it. **Q: Will this work with a raspberry pi pico w** A: Yes **Q: Is there a C/C++ api for this thing? I'm not getting this obsession with using Python.** A: You use Linux SocketCAN. Once Linux brings up the interface with ifConfig, you can use regular BSD Socket Calls from wherever you like. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used it to connect NMEA2000 boat network to a Raspberry Pi *by J***D on April 14, 2021* easy to install and setup using the Openplotter OS. worked easily with a Raymarine Axiom 7 chart plotter, allowing me to get GPS to the Pi from the Axiom and AIS from the Pi to the Axiom. great value for money ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice setup *by R***Y on July 14, 2024* Easy setup on my Voron 2.4. Follow the online instructions and setup is a piece of cake. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked the first time on a Raspberry Pi *by T***M on June 15, 2020* I bought this expecting a some hassles getting it to work - sort of the standard for this low end stuff. I was sort of amazed how quick it was. There's a wiki page that explained how to change the Pi's config.txt to set up the CAN baud rate and a tar ball with some example code. Drivers were already in the Pi distro. I booted up the by and the device was there - set up some params for the SocketCAN interface with ifconfig, did a make on the example code, wired up a $500 Kvaser PC CAN USB interface, and it worked - both sending and receiving. A good deal. ## Frequently Bought Together - RS485 CAN HAT for Raspberry Pi 5/4B/3B+/3B/2B/B+/Zero/Zero W/WH/Zero 2W, Long-Distance Communication via RS485/CAN Function Onboard CAN Controller MCP2515 via SPI Interface Transceiver SIT65HVD230DR - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2019 Quad Core 64 Bit WiFi Bluetooth (4GB) - Waveshare 2-Channel Isolated CAN Bus Expansion HAT, Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5/4B/3B/Zero/Zero W/Zero 2W/Pico/Pico W/Pico WH,MCP2515 + SN65HVD230 Dual Chips Solution, Multi Protection Circuits --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/154707007-rs485-can-hat-for-raspberry-pi-5-4b-3b-3b](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/154707007-rs485-can-hat-for-raspberry-pi-5-4b-3b-3b) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
