ESP32 DuoCAN Shield

$84.00

Introducing the ESP32C6 DuoCAN Shield. This development board includes two CAN transceivers, an OBDII connector or standard 2.54mm connectors (JST or Dupont), and step-down 3.3V voltage converter. Compatible ONLY with the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C6 board (sold separately). As a bonus, it is plug-and-play with Enhanced’s S3xy Tesla Cable adapters.

What’s in the package: the DuoCAN shield and your choice for the connector OBD2, JST or Dupont 6 pins (assembly required).

Easy Integration

Arduino IDE support, Espressif IDF compatible. Works with FirmOTA.com. No external CAN libraries required for basic operations.

Easy Integration

Simple firmware development with minimal code for reliable CAN communication, powered by the ESP32C6’s built-in TWAI driver.

Clear. Simple. Code.

#include <stdio.h>
#include "driver/twai.h"

#define CAN0_TX_PIN GPIO_NUM_22
