Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] OSS Pressure hull basic layout.

Can you get me info on the CAN protocol? We use proprietary protocols
at work, so I haven't had any experience with a CANned protocol. Pun
intended!

Due to the huge amount of work that has already been done for cars, the interfaces for this protocol can be purchased for dirt cheap.  Connect this to a cheap microcontroller with non-volatile memory and boom.  instant real-time distributed network.  Reliable, available, scalable.
