One of our favorite Feathers, the Feather M4 Express, gets a glow-up here with an upgrade to the SAME51 chipset which has built-in CAN bus support! Like its SAMD51 cousin, the ATSAME51J19 comes with a 120MHz Cortex M4 with floating point support and 512KB Flash and 192KB RAM. Your code will zig and zag and zoom, and with a bunch of extra peripherals for support, this will for sure be your favorite new chipset for CAN interfacing projects.
Right thanks, so since Adafruit products don’t appear to be manufactured/handled in an ESD safe manner, except for the final packaging I assume 90 days?
“Low-cost hobby-grade parts that are subject to casual mishandling in favour of convenience are often covered by a 90-day warranty unless there is sufficient evidence of a static-safe work environment”
Adafruit make good quality stuff! Their feather products all come with a 12-month warranty.
If you do run into any warranty issues, you can always make a post here so we can run through some troubleshooting or reply to your order confirmation email and we’ll get you sorted ASAP.
They do, I AGREE and they would be even better if they understood ESD safe manufacturing and handling practises [yes, i know it’s a dig but the various “inside” videos speak for themselves]
Hey Oliver,
I see the M4 CAN have been dropping like flies with the NEO having predictably killed PB03 of the SAME51 (ref their forums). Do you know if a new fixed batch is planned? I’d like to get one of the “fixed” ones.
Cheers,
Ingmar
Unfortunately we haven’t heard anything from the team over at Adafruit, it looks like a lot of their issues regarding this have only been in the last few weeks.
I’m sure they will be able to provide a solution ASAP, until then it is just a bit of a waiting game I’m afraid. If you had any other questions in the meantime don’t hesitate to ask.
