Authentic User Feedback

🔧 Automotive Engineer Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Whitaker - Automotive Diagnostics Specialist
"The PiCAN2 Advanced Model has become a core component in our vehicle ECU testing setup. The CAN FD support at 10 Mbps is a game-changer—data logging is now real-time and glitch-free. We’ve deployed it across three test benches, and the FR4 construction handles engine bay temperatures without issue. Jumper configuration saved us weeks of redesign time."

🏭 Industrial Automation Technician Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lena Park - Factory Automation Technician
"We integrated the PiCAN2 Pro Model into our conveyor control system, and it’s been rock-solid. The -40°C to 125°C operating range means no failures during summer heatwaves or winter shutdowns. The dual CAN ports (SJ2/SJ3) allow daisy-chaining sensors without hubs, simplifying wiring. Setup was intuitive thanks to the jumper-based power selection (we’re using 12V)."

🛠️ DIY Hobbyist Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Lin - Electronics Enthusiast
"I bought the Base Model for a smart greenhouse project with Raspberry Pi. The DB9 serial port let me connect an old soil sensor array, and CAN bus talks perfectly with a custom node. The jumper pins (JP1/JP2) took some reading, but once configured, it just works. Only reason not 5 stars: more beginner-friendly docs would help."

🌐 IoT Developer Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aisha Patel - IoT Solutions Developer
"Deployed 12 PiCAN2 modules across remote environmental monitoring stations. The dual power options let us use 12V solar setups without converters, improving efficiency. FR4 durability has held up against dust, humidity, and temperature swings. We’re now standardizing on the Advanced Model for future builds—5 Mbps CAN speed cuts data latency significantly."

🚘 R&D Engineer in Automotive Tech

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Reed - Automotive R&D, Tier-1 Supplier
"We evaluated five CAN modules for in-vehicle prototyping—PiCAN2 Pro outperformed all. MIL-STD-810G durability means it survives vibration testing where others failed. The MCP2515 controller delivers consistent packet integrity even in high-noise environments. Customization via jumpers allowed quick switching between 5V and 12V test rigs. This is now our go-to for proof-of-concept builds."
