Re: Mindsenors CAN Splitter

From everything I've read and understand about CAN, the bus was designed to be used in series, not parallel. According to some other posts by knowledgeable people that I can't find right now because I'm on mobile, using a star topology can introduce noise and bad things into the network and is generally not recommended. Especially considering any good CAN device should have the CAN leads physically connected so the signal is passed through even if it fails. Can someone correct me on this or is this product pretty useless?
