Prepare two PowerHub devices and flash the above code onto both (you can modify the message ID and content to distinguish them). Set the 120 Ω terminal matching resistor switch of both devices to ON, then connect the CAN interfaces of the two devices using an XT30(2+2)-F connector cable (for example, PwrCAN Cable):

After connecting, the two PowerHub devices will send messages to each other via CAN communication. Connect one of them to your computer and observe the serial monitor output:

API

The CAN communication driver of PowerHub uses TWAI from ESP-IDF. For more related APIs, refer to the following documentation:
