CAN buses are literally keep you alive when you fly & when you drive. In our increasingly computerized world, we need robust, and relible communications between the hundreds of electronics in situations like airplanes, trains, cars, hospitals, & industrial robots. This communication is critical and failure of this communication can be fatal to human lives. The  CAN bus communication protocol is responsible for this reliable communication. Just like I2C and SPI are communication protocols, the CAN bus also carries information between electronics. However, the CAN bus works on a P2P (Peer to Peer) network

In this video we will learn about how CAN buses work, the different types of CAN bus layers, and how the CAN bus messages work.
