Hi all,

I am new to CAN and am using it  for a small project I'm doing. I was wondering what the use of the object dictionary in CANOpen is. I am very sorry if this sounds basic, but I have thoroughly searched google and have come up with nothing that can explain to me clearly the use of the object dictionary and if/how I can implement it on my own. I was wondering if there are alternatives to CANOpen/if I really needed the object dictionary as all I am doing is communication using CAN.

Thanks you very much for your help,
John
