Developing a new node</A>
</H1>
Using provided examples as a base for your new node is generally a good
idea. You can also use the provided *.od files as a base for your node
object dictionary.
<P>
Creating a new CanOpen node implies to define the Object Dictionary of
this node. For that, developer have to provide a C file. This C file
contains the definition of all dictionary entries, and some kind of
index table that helps the stack to access some entries directly.
