Once you have the project open, there's a number of things to see and do. You need to be familiar with HONEY to really get started, so if you aren't already, head over to [[Gen_2_Architecture|the HONEY page]] and read up. Otherwise, the following will explain what's going on:

** Another is HONEY_CAN.SchDoc. This schematic features a TI CAN Transceiver circuit. HONEY makes extensive use of CAN to communicate between boards, and every board that is doing anything beyond bare analog stuff is required to have a CAN transceiver to communicate with the stack. Since this is standard, and very important, we've completed this circuit for you. You don't need to change or alter this schematic at all either.

* On the Topsheet, you'll notice some notes that provide some insight into what's going on. Feel free to read those, then delete them to provide more space on the schematic. Below, we'll go through more of what's going on on the TopSheet, and how to use it.
