Project Abstract
 CAN-Do!
is a micro-controller (widget) which is designed to be a module's
interface to a Satellite wiring harness and through it to the Integrated -
Housekeeping Unit (computer) controlling the overall Satellite.
The primary project goals are to reduce wire count within the wiring harness (fly
less copper and more fuel)
and to greatly simplify spacecraft integration.
The CAN-Do! project is jointly sponsored by
AMSAT Deutschland e.V. and
AMSAT North America. Members of both
organizations work together on the project. (refer
to the members page)
At this project site you'll find module designer documentation and
other reference material related to this project. (refer
to the reference page).
See the Contact Information page for the
preferred methods to communicate with the CAN-Do! project team.
