Hardware Overview
How does it work?
CAN Isolator Click is based on the ADM3053, a power isolated CAN transceiver with an integrated isolated DC-to-DC converter from Analog Devices. The click is designed to run on either 3.3V or 5V power supply. CAN Isolator Click communicates
with the target microcontroller over the UART interface. The ADM3053 is an isolated controller area network (CAN) physical layer transceiver with an integrated isolated DC-to-DC converter. The ADM3053 creates a fully isolated
interface between the CAN protocol controller and the physical layer bus. It is capable of running at data rates of up to 1Mbps.
Features overview
Development board
EasyMx PRO v7a for STM32 is the seventh generation of ARM development boards specially designed to develop embedded applications rapidly. It supports a wide range of 32-bit ARM microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over USB-C. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. With two different connectors for each port, EasyMx PRO v7afor STM32 allows you to connect accessory boards, sensors, and custom electronics more efficiently than ever. Each part of the EasyMx
PRO v7a for STM32 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module, which offers many valuable programming/debugging options and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment, the board also includes a clean and regulated power supply block for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including an external 12V power supply, 7-23V AC or 9-32V DC via DC connector/screw terminals, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector. Communication options such as USB-UART, USB-HOST/DEVICE, CAN, and
Ethernet are also included, including the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, one display option for the TFT board line of products, and a standard TQFP socket for the seventh-generation MCU cards. This socket covers 32-bit ARM MCUs like STM32 Cortex-M3, -M7, and -M4 MCUs. EasyMx PRO v7afor STM32 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output
1. Application Output - In Debug mode, the 'Application Output' window enables real-time data monitoring, offering direct insight into execution results. Ensure proper data display by configuring the environment correctly using the provided tutorial.

2. UART Terminal - Use the UART Terminal to monitor data transmission via a USB to UART converter, allowing direct communication between the Click board™ and your development system. Configure the baud rate and other serial settings according to your project's requirements to ensure proper functionality. For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to the provided tutorial.

3. Plot Output - The Plot feature offers a powerful way to visualize real-time sensor data, enabling trend analysis, debugging, and comparison of multiple data points. To set it up correctly, follow the provided tutorial, which includes a step-by-step example of using the Plot feature to display Click board™ readings. To use the Plot feature in your code, use the function: plot(*insert_graph_name*, variable_name);. This is a general format, and it is up to the user to replace 'insert_graph_name' with the actual graph name and 'variable_name' with the parameter to be displayed.

*
* # Description
* This is a example which demonstrates the use of Can Isolator Click board.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Configuring clicks and log objects.
*
* ## Application Task
* Checks if new data byte has received in RX buffer ( ready for reading )
* and if ready than reads one byte from RX buffer.
* In the second case, the application task writes message data via UART.
* Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal where you can track their changes.
