## Overview

Awesome CAN Bus is a curated directory, not a runtime application. A reader browses its topic index, then explores listed tools, protocols, databases, and hardware resources. The README documents the categories and their purpose; no implementation source or resource-consumption workflow was provided, so the graph stops at the documented directory structure.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/idoka/awesome-canbus/blob/main/README.md) (CAN Resource List)
