== MCP2515 ==
The '''MCP2515''' is an integrated circuit produced by Microchip Technology, constructed to function as a stand-alone CAN controller. It exhibits compatibility with an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) which makes it versatile in various applications. Although its primary use is in automotive industries, it is also used in a variety of other control applications.<ref>MCP2515</ref> Stand-Alone CAN Controller with SPI Interface.

The MCP2515 bridges the connection between the CAN protocol and the SPI protocol by receiving CAN messages and translating them into SPI data, allowing the microcontroller to interpret the information. Similarly, it transforms SPI data into CAN messages for transmission.<ref>MCP2515 Stand-Alone CAN Controller with SPI Interface. Microchip Technology.
