 # RaccoonLab Mini/Micro Nodes

+Mini/Micro are general purpose CAN nodes. The functionality of these devices depends on the firmware they are running.
 The default and most popular usage is as a PWM-CAN adapter to control ESCs and servos using CAN (Cyphal or DroneCAN) communication:
+
 - Micro is the smallest node with 2 groups of pins (PWM/5V/GND) to control 2 servos or ESCs.
 - Mini v2: Features 2 x PWM/5V/GND for controlling servos or ESCs and 2 x PWM/FB/GND for controlling and receiving feedback from ESCs via UART.

+CAN power connectors are designed for light unmanned aerial (UAV) and other vehicles for providing power over CAN using [CAN power cables](https://docs.raccoonlab.co/guide/pmu/wires/).
 
 There are two types of devices:
 
-1. `CAN-MUX` devices provide power from XT30 connector to CAN. There are 2 variation of this type of the device with different number of connectors.
-2. `Power connector node` is designed to pass current (up to 60A) to power load and CAN, measure voltage and current on load. It behaves as Cyphal/DroneCAN node.

 **Connection example diagram**
 
 Here are the examples:
 
-- The first shows how to use both external high voltage power and 5V CAN power for different nodes with MUX. The [NODE](raccoonlab_nodes.md) (the large one in the left diagram) is connected to a high-voltage power source (here 30 V). In this case, the [uNODE](raccoonlab_nodes.md) (smaller one on the left schematic) is powered directly from the autopilot.
-- The second example shows how to connect multiple [uNODEs](raccoonlab_nodes.md) that are powered by the autopilot (5V). If these nodes are powered from a separate DCDC, it (a separate DCDC) should also be connected to one of these connectors.
