ARK CANnode

ARK CANNode is an open-source generic DroneCAN node that includes a 6-degree-of-freedom IMU. Its main purpose is to enable the use of non-CAN sensors (I2C, SPI, UART) on the CAN bus. It also has PWM outputs to expand a vehicle’s control outputs in quantity and physical distance. For ArduPilot, AP_Periph can be used to integrate the CANNode as a peripheral.
