<Attie> finger-friendly, and not tooo expensive
<plaes>
Wago also has solderable spring terminals (although I've only used Wago splicing connectors for AC voltages)

Attie: re CAN board features: I'd add termination resistors and an easy way to activate/deactivate them
<electronic_eel>
the cheap way for activating would be pin headers and jumpers
<electronic_eel>
the more complex way would be relays or photomos
<d1b2>
<Attie> @electronic_eel - they're on the list! i'm trying to decide solid state vs physical... i think we've already got something worked up in @DuncanHaldane's schematic, but i need to look again and remember
<electronic_eel>
if you want to go fancy, you could add galvanic isolation of the can drivers
<d1b2>
<Attie> by "solid state" i really mean software control...
<d1b2>
<Attie> i think we've pushed isolation off to the next revision, but it was high on my initial list of requirements
<d1b2>
<Attie> there was a paper / app note i dug out a while ago
<electronic_eel>
the common mode voltage for can can go negative in relation to the gnd of glasgow, so you need some kind of switch that can deal with that
<electronic_eel>
these kind of photomos can do that, other kinds of muxes and so on not so easy
<d1b2>
<Attie> i think the optoisolated route was my preferred, as it should transplant directly into the isolated design if/when
<electronic_eel>
the TI appnote uses TLP175, they are 50 ohms on resistance, while the TLP240 is just 2 ohms
<d1b2>
<Attie> yeah, i wasn't very comfortable with that aspect of the TI appnote
<electronic_eel>
so it is the same kind of design i had in mind, just with different parts. the TLP240 are cheaper from LCSC than the worse TLP175 from digikey/mouser
<d1b2>
<Attie> ha, nice
<d1b2>
<Attie> i'll certainly keep your p/n handy, thanks!
