candleLight

Overview

The candleLight is an open-hardware USB to CAN 2.0B adapter board available from a number of sources.

Hardware

The candleLight board is equipped with a STM32F072CB microcontroller and features an USB connector, a DB-9M connector for the CAN bus, and two user LEDs. Schematics and component placement drawings are available in the candleLight GitHub repository.

Supported Features

The candlelight board configuration supports the following hardware features:

Interface

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file: boards/others/candlelight/candlelight_defconfig.

Other hardware features are not currently supported by the port.

System Clock

The STM32F072CB PLL is driven by the internal RC oscillator (HSI) running at 8 MHz and configured to provide a system clock of 48 MHz.

Programming and Debugging

Build and flash applications as usual (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).

If flashing via USB DFU, short resistor R203 when applying power to the candleLight in order to enter the built-in DFU mode.

Here is an example for the Blinky application.
