Third-Party CAN Devices#

A number of FRC® vendors offer their own CAN peripherals. As CAN devices offer expansive feature-sets, vendor CAN devices require similarly expansive code libraries to operate. As a result, these libraries are not maintained as an official part of WPILib, but are instead maintained by the vendors themselves. For a guide to installing third-party libraries, see 3rd Party Libraries

A list of common third-party CAN devices from various vendors, along with links to corresponding external documentation, is provided below:
