Does MPC5748G dev Kit supports external CAN sheild

[laxmikanthindur]

I want to use MPC5748G dev Kit for Reading the CAN messages from OBD-II port of my car, but i see this board has no CAN DB 9 connector. I see in the  description that it supports CAN . does this mean it has a CAN controller over the board , but no CAN trans-receiver ? in this case how do I use this for my requirement? do i need to have external Trans-receiver ? just like we use with Arduino. if so does this support  external CAN shield?

Hello,

MPC5748G is low cost board, so from my point of view, there is not conformal coating, but I am not 100% sure. I recommend you to use ESD pad for work with the board if you want to be sure the board will not be damaged by electrostatic charge.

My personal experience is that board can be used with bare hands. I am working with this board long time and I have not destroyed neither one board.

Martin
