It was explicitly engineered to allow facilitate communication between microcontrollers and devices without resorting to a central computer. The primary purpose of CAN is to communicate with each otherenhance vehicle interconnectivity and foster swift data exchange between various systems within the vehicle.

The '''MCP2515 chip ''' is an integrated circuit that acts 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 Stand-Alone CAN Controller with SPI Interface. Microchip Technology. [https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/en010406 Official datasheet].</ref> The MCP2515 bridges the connection between the CAN protocol and the SPI interfaceprotocol 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.
