Review
Voss provides plenty of timing diagrams, logic tables, schematics and images that make understanding CAN and its basics a snap. Sprinkled throughout are useful notes and tips (Hear ye, hear ye's). All these combine for a quick read as well as making the book a quick reference.
The book is from a logical system perspective rather than taking a specific microcontroller as an example. This means you don't have to worry about specific implementation details, limitations or advantages.
This is one book I keep within reach on the shelf because most CAN-based microcontrollers rarely have documentation at this level--which is indispensable when dealing with CAN multiple platforms. -- electronic design - William Wong
I'll keep this brief, but I wanted to give this book the 5-star rating it deserves.
This book is a one-stop shop to go from "What the hell is CAN?" to "OK, now I know everything I need to know about *CAN*."
This book doesn't - and can't & shouldn't -- discuss higher layer protocols, nor the specifics of the CAN controller chip on your board. It (thankfully) sticks to the subject without getting distracted on tangential topics. (Note: I believe the author has a book coming out in early 2008 regarding the higher-layer J1939, I'll be waiting in line for that one too.)
The book is very clearly written, has lots of pictures (a must in any technical book), and is thorough & complete.
*Anyone* starting with CAN should start here. -- Amazon.com USA - Customer Reviews
The book is so well structured and narrative that even a newbie to CAN may learn essentials in a few days. Tough themes like bit timing and synchronization are introduced clearly with smart illustrations. The author is not trying to blow out pages with unnecessary details but rather selects content very carefully and builds a self-consistent guide based on (his) evident conscious experience. The guide's index is rather lean but covers all the main features I found useful for myself when was coding fw/sw CAN suite.
This small book gives intermediate-level description for low-level side of bus communication. For high-level CAN stuff see another rather good book, the "Embedded networking with CAN and CANopen" by O. Pfeiffer et al.
With the knowledge you get from the guide you most likely will not be able to create your own chip from the scratch ;-)... but definitely can develop your custom low-level s/w or f/w driver, as well as interpret waveforms on your scope with a greater confidence. -- Amazon.com USA - Customer Reviews
