DJB,
I did not realize that the some PICs had an optional built-in CAN controller (eCAN). What Cougar interface hardware are you using on the ATmega168 for CAN bus? schematic? I know you discussed this issue on another thread, but progress info on it died out.
A CAN bus version of the new "series 1000" Cougar controller that interfaced to a PIC eCAN version of the LCD Display would be nice!
