Verify the Functionality
Vary the VR (Potentiometer on either DVK) and note the change in status displayed on the LCD of
either DVK.
Note The CAN communication may not work correctly if the PSoC devices are not using an
accurate, external clock source. See
requirements.

Using a CAN Bus Analyzer Tool
This kit functions most effectively when two CY8CKIT-001 DVK kits and two CY8CKIT-017 EBK kits
are available. However, it is also possible to replace one CY8CKIT-001 DVK kit and one CY8CKIT-
017 EBK kit with a CAN bus analyzer or emulator tool. Or, it is even possible to use any other CAN
node to communicate with this kit.
If you use a CAN bus analyzer or emulator tool to communicate with this kit, then the tool must be
set up to send and receive CAN messages (at proper intervals) with proper length and message ID
and at a proper baud rate. See the
CAN controller configuration of this kit's example projects.
If you use some other CAN node to communicate with this kit, then you may need to modify the firm-
ware to allow communication. You can modify the example projects, firmware or settings of the other
CAN node.
