LCC Shield R4 (MCP2518)

LCC Shield

Successor to the R3 version. The R4 uses an MCP2518 CAN interface IC

Create custom LCC nodes using an Arduino UNO or Mega!

• Isolated LCC Interface

This allows minimum current draw from your LCC bus. The UNO plus any loads you wish to add are powered from your UNO supply, not the LCC bus.

• DCC Receiver Circuit

This will send the isolated DCC data stream from the LCC ALT port pins to an UNO digital I/O pin. Can be disabled to gain the I/O pin for other uses.

• 256Kx8 EEPROM Included

Use the extra SPI accessible 256K memory to store CDI, data, or code.

• Factory Installed LCC ID

Includes its own unique LCC ID programmed into EEPROM by the factory.

• Flexible Power Source

Able to be completely isolated from the LCC bus and use the Arduino power supplies, or the entire Arduino plus any shield(s) can be powered from the LCC bus.

• LCC Bus Terminator

Built-in LCC bus terminator. Just set jumper to enable.

• ESD Protected CAN Port
• Inverted RJ45 jacks for easier cable removal.
• Two on-board LEDs

Two programmable LED indicators provided. Optionally, you can disable the two LEDs to gain the additional I/O pins for other uses.

• Designed to be used with LibLCC

LibLCC is a C library for LCC that runs on Arduino® and is available through the Arduino Library Manager.
