Hi,

This weekend, I have written a Library for Arduino to communicate with Velbus through a CAN shield.

I have posted the library on Arduino’s forum: [forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=185743.msg1375617#msg1375617](http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=185743.msg1375617#msg1375617) (you must be logged in on the Arduino forum to download the file).

Nice.  
If we have a chance we will take a look at your project.

Great library, tnx !

Very easy to use.

```auto
        sendpacket.RTR = false;
        sendpacket.Priority = Priority::low;
        sendpacket.Address = 0xA3; // wtw
        sendpacket.Data[0] = 0xF7; // slow blink
        sendpacket.Data[1] = 0x04; // btn3, lower right
        sendpacket.dataLen = 2;
        
        VELBUS.sendpacket(sendpacket))
```
