Hi all, It looks like I can implement a half duplex UART with the USI on a tiny45 on a single pin (Tx/Rx on DI) rather than the usual separate DI and DO pins. Can anyone confirm if this is possible please? Thanks. Regards, Les Grant. ----------------------------------------------

Hi Brian, If your C programming is good, you could try porting the Atmel CAN bus library to CV. I did this for a project last year and it works pretty well once you figure out how it works. Needs a bit of work to get it going under CV but it can be done. Good luck, CAN is superb

I have read the datasheets and researched the net. I used the CV wizard to set the can up. How do I send data? Is there an example of sending data of switch positions, 8 bit, from one micro to another and displaying it using CV? Brian
