I only asked about CAN because I know Atmel has CAN transcievers integrated with some AVR, Mega and Xmega products. What we used has no purpose built integration. We added all special functionality by peripheral. I have a long relationship with Atmel and their products. I was just surprised considering a selling point is the availability of the CAN without adding a transciever like I did.

We hit all the big selling points as well. Heck we had a separate radio link and enough room to scale out to a small supercomputer. We also went in with plastic injection companies and existing electronic production floor. We just could not demonstrate market place sales for a hobby control system. I have no regrets about that there was no way to create that from the time they expressed interest to the proposal date it really did not matter what we wrote.

I still want to pursue a community motor control module (as stated clearly in the proposal) and now that I do not have this added pressure pulling me different directions I can continue to work on the information technology that will advance on educating the market on various things without short deadlines risking compromise on that very vital point.
