How to connect the CAN bus module MCP2515 SPI 5V to an Arduino UNO or ESP32, with an example sketch you can upload straight away.
Connects an MCP2515 CAN bus module to an Arduino Uno using hardware SPI. The sketch initializes the CAN controller at 500 kbps, sends a test CAN message every 2 seconds, and prints any received frames to the Serial Monitor.

This circuit connects an ESP32 to an MCP2515 CAN-bus module via SPI, using a 4-channel bidirectional level shifter to protect the ESP32's 3.3V logic from the 5V module. The sketch initializes the CAN controller at 500 kbps, sends a test CAN data frame every two seconds, and prints any received CAN bus messages to the Serial Monitor.
