DPRG’s monthly meeting for June is on Saturday, the 9th, at the Dallas
Maker Space. The meeting starts at Noon.

The topic for this month’s meeting is “*Using CAN bus in Hobby Robots*” and
will be presented by member Scott Gibson.

CAN bus (*C*ontroller *A*rea *N*etwork) is used in the Automobile and other
industries to communicate between the multiple micro-controllers in their
products without utilizing a central host computer. Scott has been using
CAN bus in his robots for some time now. He will cover the architecture of
the standard and illustrate its use by showing example code from one of his
robots.

This will be a great opportunity, to learn from someone who has overcome
the learning curve of CAN bus. Automobiles can have over 50 controllers,
and CAN bus is how they communicate. Our robots generally have less than 5
controllers but the same principles apply. All are welcome to attend.
