LORDWORLD RS485 CAN HAT Development Board MCP2515 SN65HVD230 SP3485 40PIN

SKU CH-RTE3-HKY59

Adds RS485 and CAN bus to Raspberry Pi and compatible boards via 40-pin header using MCP2515 and SN65HVD230 transceivers with onboard TVS protection

  • Fits Raspberry Pi series via standard 40PIN GPIO header
  • Compatible with Orange Pi and Banana Pi boards
  • RS485 half-duplex with automatic TX/RX control via UART
  • CAN bus support using MCP2515 controller and SN65HVD230 transceiver
  • Onboard TVS protection suppresses surge and transient spike voltage

RS485/CAN HAT for Raspberry Pi

This development board adds RS485 and CAN connectivity to Raspberry Pi models through the standard 40PIN GPIO header. It targets makers and engineers building industrial or automation projects that require robust serial communication.

Check GPIO and interface compatibility

Verify that your board exposes the 40PIN GPIO header and provides both SPI and UART interfaces for the MCP2515 CAN controller and SP3485 RS485 transceiver. Sample code is only supplied for Raspberry Pi; Orange Pi and Banana Pi users must write their own drivers.

Onboard protection and power characteristics

The board includes a TVS device to suppress surge and transient voltages on the RS485 lines, improving reliability in noisy environments. The SN65HVD230 transceiver handles half-duplex RS485 with automatic TX/RX control, while the MCP2515 manages CAN via SPI.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the RS485 CAN HAT and is a Raspberry Pi included?

The board ships with the 40PIN GPIO extension header fitted; a Raspberry Pi or compatible single-board computer must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the MCP2515 CAN controller or the SP3485 RS485 transceiver for my project?

Both are onboard and work together — the MCP2515 handles CAN via SPI while the SP3485 provides half-duplex RS485 over UART with automatic TX/RX control.

What does the 40PIN header mean when I mount the HAT on a Raspberry Pi?

It aligns with every Raspberry Pi model from the Zero W through the 4B+, giving direct access to SPI for CAN and UART for RS485 without extra wiring.
