CANOpen Node STM32 From basics to coding

CANOpen is a industry standard for communication between devices and they are commonly used in motion controllers, medical equipment, railway applications and home automations. CANOpenNode stack is a free and open source stack written in C to be used in variety of controllers, including Linux based boards, PIC32 and STM32 series. In this tutorial, we are going to cover STM32 aspect of this node and also the basics of the CANOpen.
