Dear All,
I am having two Hercules RM42x Launchpads. Is it possible to make them communicate using CAN?
If not, please suggest some other mode of communication between them.
Thanks in advace.

Yes, CAN1 and CAN2 are available on the expansion header J10.
But you need to add a CAN transceiver on an expansion board, you can't just jumper RX to TX and vice-versa.
I did a quick scan of http://www.ti.com/ww/en/launchpad/boosterpacks.html and didn't see a booster pack for a CAN interface (opportunity if you're interested ;) so, you can look at the schematics of our HDK for an example of a transceiver.

The HDK kit above does have two CAN transceivers already populated; so if you're shorter on time than $ you could also purchase an HDK and work with it instead.
