Adafruit CAN Bus BFF Shield for QT Py

Description

The Adafruit CAN Bus BFF Add-On for QT Py is a small, powerful add-on board that turns QT Py boards into CAN bus devices.

• JST PH 3-pin socket for easy wiring (cables sold separately)
• Onboard 120 ohm termination resistor, removable via jumper
• Compatible with any QT Py or Xiao board with SPI and A3 pin
• Includes solderable headers (header kit sold separately for removable connection)
