Matek AP_Periph CAN RC Input Adapter
by Matek Systems

The Matek Systems AP_Periph CAN RC Input Adapter (CAN-L4-RC) is a compact module designed to convert serial RC inputs into CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol outputs, enhancing the versatility and integration of your UAV systems. Powered by the STM32L431xC MCU with 256KB Flash, this adapter ensures efficient processing and reliable connectivity. It features a CAN port supporting the DroneCAN protocol and a dedicated UART3 port for seamless communication. The device operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and consumes minimal power at 10mA, making it suitable for various applications. Its robust design withstands operating temperatures from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring durability in diverse environments. The adapter's compact dimensions (23mm x 12.5mm) and lightweight build (2.5g) facilitate easy integration into space-constrained setups. Firmware updates are conveniently managed via the DroneCAN GUI Tool, ensuring your system remains up-to-date with the latest features and improvements.
