Hi All, I saw on this site that the MAX-32 has enet and CAN controllers, and that these can be accessed with the proper headers. But, I could not find the headers. Are those available?

Thanks...

The MAX32 user guide details the alternative functions of all the pins. Further detail can be found by looking in the data sheet for the pic32MX795F512L

Thanks, but are there hardware modules with enet and/or AN connectors to connect cables to?

Hello skyjumper,

To access the Ethernet/CAN controllers in the PIC on the Max32, you will need either an external PHY for the Ethernet, or an external CAN transceiver. The chipKIT Ethernet Shield, for example, has both, and is meant to be used in conjunction with the Max32 to access these modules.

Regarding the pins, if you take a look at either the Max32 schematic or reference manual (specifically the sections on Ethernet and CAN), the pins that these modules use are listed. Hope this helps!
