# Introduction

Cyphal (opens new window)/DroneCAN (opens new window) (old name UAVCAN) nodes are devices primarily based on CAN bus, used by the PX4, ArduPilot and other projects as CAN peripheral devices.

This guide contains interface description, user manual and hardware specification for each developed device.

It is recommended that all users to read the Getting Started page.

# Compatibility

  • Autopilots:

  1. PX4. Refer to the official PX4 documentation (opens new window) for getting the specific wiring and setup instructions.
