[Ovmsdev] OVMS CAN-USB Call for Assistance

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

I'm used to the mcp2551, but it is a 5V device. The pic32mx795 has both CAN port pins 5V tolerant, and levels for tx seem sufficient for mcp2551 to rx. The 5V is not too much of an issue, as we have that from USB, but it would be good to be just 3.3V.

Anyone know of a 3.3V equivalent to the mcp2551? SN65HVD233? Or, just stay with mcp2551?

Regards, Mark
