Stuart,

Farnell have the MCP2510 controller for 3.18 +VAT and the PCA82C251
transceiver is only 1.24 +VAT from Arrow (Arrow also do the MCP2510 at 3.54=
+VAT) so the actual cost is pretty good compared to Ethernet as these 2
devices are all you need whereas with ethernet you need all the external physical layer devices too.

Regards
Dave...

Hi Frank,


Just looked on RS, CAN Bus controller chips come in at ~ =A35-=A36 since a<= BR> 10mbs ethernet chip is =A36.50 , I think the east of using ethernet still appeals.
