Additionally, the board(s) can be connected to an existing CAN bus where the software can monitor the traffic and the user can interact with the bus as needed. The software allows some of the MCP2515 registers to be modified, as well as messages to be received and transmitted.
The MCP2515 CAN Bus Monitor Demo Board is a fully functional, assembled, and tested kit used to demonstrate the MCP2515 in a CAN bus environment. The following describes the basic setup and operation. See Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 for a simplified functional diagram and block diagram.

The firmware can be modified to increase the traffic as needed. 2.4.3 Headers/Test Points Two of the headers are connected to the MCP2515 pins so the pins can be monitored. The SPI and CAN serial interfaces, interrupt pin(s), and SOF pin are routed to headers/test points.
SOFTWARE OPERATION Once the MCP2515DM-BM PC Software Rev 2.0 is downloaded and installed on the PC, open the MCP2515 Bus Monitor Graphical User Interface (GUI). To enable the communication between the boards and the GUI, click on Device menu and select Connect.
