Hello Kyle,
I assume you won't have much fun with these parts:
The CAN bus shield has a SPI connected CAN controller MCP2515 which
needs to be connected to a SPI capable CPU board (like the RasPi).
The pl2303 just makes a serial interface (no SPI).
The SLCAN protocol is 'more' high level than the SPI.
I assume the serial pins on the shield only connect the RasPi board.
Regards,
Oliver
