Status of CAN support for v0.5.2

What is the status of CAN support for odrive with V0.5.2? Is it ready to use, or is the can interface going to be changing also?

I need an easy interface that does not involve fibre. Serial is looking like it may not be the solution I am looking for.

Thanks

CAN is pretty much locked in as-is. I recommend it, although Serial is pretty trivial with the ASCII interface too.
