+ * A demo showing how to use CAN bus and the CANMsg library's << (append) and the >> (extract) operators
+ *
+ * Two affordable (less than $3 on ebay) STM32F103C8T6 boards (20kB SRAM, 64kB Flash),
+ * are connected to the same CAN bus via transceivers (MCP2551 or TJA1040, or etc.).
+ * CAN transceivers are not part of NUCLEO boards, therefore must be added by you.
+ * Remember also that CAN bus (even a short one) must be terminated with 120 Ohm resitors at both ends.
+ * In this demo, the mbed board is transmitting two data items to the CAN bus.
+ *   counter: uint_8 value (one byte).
+ *   voltage: floating point value (four bytes).
+ * So the total length of payload data is five bytes.
+ * The "<<" (append) operator is used to add data to the CAN message.
+ * If a CAN message is received its ID is checked. If there is match with the awaited ID
+ * then data is extracted from the CAN message using the ">>" (extract) operator.
+ *
+ * The usage of "<<" and ">>" operators is similar to the C++ io-stream ones.
+ * Data length of CAN message is automatically updated when using "<<" or ">>" operators.  
+ *
+ * For schematic see the wiki page <https://developer.mbed.org/users/hudakz/code/CAN_Hello/>
+ *
+ * NOTE: If you'd like to use an STM32F103C8T6 board uncomment line 28
+ *
+ * The same code is used for both NUCLEO boards, but:
+ *      For board #1 compile the example without any change.
+ *      For board #2 comment out line 27 before compilation
+ *
+ * Once the binaries have been downloaded to the boards reset board #1.
