USB to CAN Gateway

This USB to CAN gateway allows users to control a network of fuzzy logic servo controllers from a PC or other device with USB host capability.   A free .NET test application is provided to test the servo controllers via this gateway device.  Users who require a different language or platform will have to create their application by consulting the Programmers Guide.  Section 3.2 of the guide provides important details of the function of the device.

Cables are not sold by Vera Ikona. This example illustrates how to create the CAN cable that connects the DB9 connector of the gateway to the 3-pin Molex connector of an IO board.
