About a month ago we updated www.MicroCANopen.com to be CANopen
compliant and the example provided passes the CANopen conformance
test. It is available for free for educational purposes.

HOWEVER, please note that as it is, MicroCANopen only supports
pre-configured, hard-coded nodes. That means that all communication
specific settings (which Node ID is used and which Process Data
Objects are used and how) are hard-coded.

As soon as you want to build a plug-and-play configurable device, I
would highly recommend to go with a commercial CANopen solution.
Either buy a commercial source code or use a CANopen protcol chip or
module such as www.CANopenIA.com
