CANMOD - A CANbus module system

Well, after some deliberation, I've gotten a bit of a grasp on the basic boards needed for my designs. All boards have a CAN interface:

• Zigbee and digital I/O
• Generic I/O with breakouts for specific interfaces (parrallel, UART, SPI, R/C?, Analog input)
• Brushed motor and R/C servos
• Brushless motor
• Audio I/O
• Video Input/analysis
• Video output/LCD
• High computation module (if needed)

Now, serial bus connections will be available for the basics. Some will just be a single digital connection. Many will be on several inches of dongle bundle so they may be separated from the controllers.

• I/R input
• I/R output
• IRDA transciever (UART)
• Flash config module (I2C)
• Button/slider input
• Single event touch sensors
• Accelerometer 3 axis?

These should allow me to build anything from small to midsize robots to high performance R/C vehicles (still need more range for aircraft, though) to Laser Tag systems
