CAN-bus board w MCP2515

Question

Has anyone tried this CAN board? It uses the Microchip MCP2515, but I don't see any docs or sample apps.

also here:

I've also been a board called NiRen that appears to be identical to these.

There aren't a lot of awesome examples out there using CAN in general. Are you attempting to talk to a car or a different type of CAN? There's a library for Python called py-can, but it only implements J1939-compliant CAN systems. The "official documentation" is dense and must be purchased. — Will, Commented Feb 25, 2016 at 7:52
Eventually i'd like to have RPi's as nodes on CAN networks in cars, trucks, buses, etc., but first, I want to set up my own little CAN network with a few RPi's and Arduinos. — Shade, Commented Mar 1, 2016 at 18:28

Steps you can try: Connections:

5V--VCC
GND--GND
GPIO10--MOSI (SI)
GPIO9---MISO (SO)
GPIO25--INT
GPIO11--SCK
GPIO8--CS
Enable SPI on Raspberry Pi edit "/boot/config.txt" to enable SPI and reboot
Time for the connections
Check whether all connections done right by using "ifconfig can"
You will require some basic installs to start. sudo apt-get install git autoconf libtool

and compile the CAN utils.

For any other reference, check:

If you have a MCP2551 IC board, try this
