Check this product’s supported frequencies in the description/specs. - If you intend to operate outside shared/licence‑exempt conditions (e.g. in other bands, at higher power, with high‑gain antennas, or extended duty cycles), you must have the appropriate authorisation. **For use in other regions** - Follow the spectrum rules for your country/region and select frequencies and settings accordingly. A declaration of use will need to be submitted during checkout. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SS114992985:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SS114992985:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Wio ESP32 CAN Dev kit is based on the ESP32C3 and uses the Wio-E5 STM32WLE5JC module as the Long Range controller. It supports CAN FD & CAN2.0 communication and features outstanding RF performance and high extensibility. It's ideal for car hacking and Long Range sensor network management. **Features** - **Outstanding RF performance:** Powerful ESP32-C3 SoC and U.FL antenna that supports WiFi/Bluetooth. - **2 Independent CAN FD Interface:** Supports CAN FD, CAN2.0 communication - **High extendability with various sensors:** full GPIOs led out to rich interfaces, including Grove modules for GPS, environmental detection, etc - **Support industrial standards:** a wide working temperature at -40C ~ 85C, high sensitivity between -116.5 dBm ~ -136 dBm, and power output up to +20.8dBm at 3.3V - **Easy to use:** User-friendly IP66 waterproof case for better outdoor deployment and enables temporary use when lacking an external power source As an upgraded version of the Wio-E5 CAN Dev Kit, **it consists of a Wio ESP32 CAN bus Dev Board, an antenna(EU868/US915), a U.FL antenna, and a waterproof case.** Built around the **ESP32-C3** a 32-bit RISC-V chip processor with a four-stage pipeline that operates up to 160 MHz. This chip has been installed with a complete 2.4GHz Wi-Fi subsystem which means it supports Station mode, SoftAP mode, SoftAP & Station mode, and promiscuous mode for multiple Wi-Fi applications. It works under an ultra-low power state, also supporting features of Bluetooth 5 and Bluetooth mesh. There are 400 KB SRAM & 4 MB Flash on the chip, allowing for more programming space, and bringing more possibilities to the IoT control scenarios.

And this user-friendly board provides rich interfaces including Grove connectors and male/female pin headers for you to connect sensors and modules with different connectors and data protocols, saving time on wire soldering. It is designed with **industrial standards** with a wide working temperature at -40°C ~ 85°C, high sensitivity between -116.5 dBm ~ -136 dBm, and power output up to +20.8dBm at 3.3V. **What is CAN-BUS?** CAN stands for *Controller Area Network*, it is used to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other within a vehicle without a host computer which allows for control and data acquisition. These devices are also called Electronic Control Units (ECU) and they enable communication between all parts of a vehicle. Today, you can find up to 70 ECUs in a modern car. CAN is a serial communication bus designed for industrial and automotive applications. For example, they are found in vehicles, farming equipment, industrial environments, etc. **How does CAN-BUS work?** The fuel level, door sensors, odometer, and many more parts of a car have to communicate with each other somehow, and CAN BUS is what they used to do. These CAN-compatible components, called “nodes” are connected with a 3-string copper wire, with no central router to govern the data flow. Every node can hear the messages of every other node. Every node has an ID, where the ones with the higher priority ID can have the priority to “talk” first while the others “listen”. This is to ensure that there are never two nodes talking at the same time. The most significant benefit of CAN-BUS is to be able to just connect components without having to worry about signal routing.

With the Wio ESP32 CAN Dev board, you can use the onboard CAN BUS function to read the sensors and send the data through Long Range. - Car hacking: Since the circuit board can receive 7-28V input, the user can connect the circuit board to the OBD interface, and get the data of the car. - CAN Gateways: Since it enables the possibility of connecting different CAN networks (or sub-networks) with different baud rates and protocols, or integrating with CAN with different network types, such as Ethernet. **Specifications** | Items | Specifications | |---|---| | Auxillary Processor | - ESP32-C3 SoC - RISC-V single-core 32-bit chip processor with a four-stage pipeline that operates at up to 160 MHz | | Wireless | - Complete 2.4GHz Wi-Fi subsystem - Bluetooth 5.0/ Bluetooth mesh | | Voltage supply | 5V/USB, 3.7V Lipo Battery, 7-28V DC Input | | Voltage output | 3.3V | | Power output | Up to 20.8dBm at 3.3V | | Frequency | EU868/US915/AU915/AS923/KR920/IN865 | | Protocol | LoRaWAN | | Sensitivity | 116.5dBm~-136dBm | | Modulation | Long Range, (G)FSK, (G)MSK, BPSK | | CAN 2.0 speed | Up to 1Mb/s | | CAN FD speed | Up to 5Mb/s | ****Part List**** | Wio-E5 CAN Development Board | 1 | |---|---| | Antenna(EU868/US915) | 1 | | U.FL antenna | 1 | | Waterproof case | 1 | **Resources and Documentation** Wiki ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/S/S/SS114992985-1.jpg)
