Arduino CAN-Bus OBDII demo

[MegaRaosaab]

hi i am doing the same project..will you mail me your code i will be tahnk ful to you...raowakeel10@yahoo.com

Check your car's OBDII connector to see if pin 6 and 14 is wired up. It is then most likely it has CAN.

It is Kia Cee'd.

what car is that ? how can I know if my car has CAN bus? thanks

Hello

I am trying to figure out where the defaults.h, mcp2515_defs.h, global.h, and mcp2515.h are located in your example ecu_reader_logger code? Do these headers need to be included in the code for the ecu_reader_logger to work? I'd appreciate any help. Please let me know.

do you have to request rpm data, or is it appearing in CAN anyway?

Very cool - I'm just getting into the whole Arduino and CANbus deal an have some great ideas for my car. This is the first I've heard that there is a CANbus sheild available. Gotta check it out! Thanks so much for posting this!

Hi,

I have got one of these sheilds and have had nothing but problems with it and the sample codes supplied. Even the simplest joystick demo code doesnt run properly, which is leading me to believe that my board is faulty.

However, i am very interested in whether ANYONE as got this product to work.

Please let me know.

@Alexywhite13 Have you tried v3 of the demo sketch?

[Alexywhite13]

@SKPangElectronics , I was only aware of a second version. Can you give me a link to the third version of the sketch?

Thanks for the reply.

Hi,

I´m trying to run the CAN-Bus ECU Reader demo sketch from your site.

It starts and prints "CAN Init ok", but than it freezes. I´ve done some debugging and got the line where it breaks. It´s this line:

mcp2515_check_message()

inside the Canbus.cpp

I really don´t know why this is happen and how to fixe it. The CAN-board was connected to an 2010 Volkswagon.

Any hints in the right direction?

greetings Sunny

I got those parts from Pang and will begin experimenting. Lots of potential, think of all the cars manufactured since around 1995 with ODB2 ports.

@gunnarMyTube For any commercial deployment of a solution you typically make your own custom board containing the circuits needed from Arduino and the shield. Open source licensing apply if you deploy Arduino based code and hw designs.

How do you uload the program to this board?

[gunnarMyTube]

@PabloDiazLP This "shield" board plugs on top of a regular Arduino processor board. You upload the code ("sketch" in Arduino lingo) to the processor board that access the hardware on the shield board to accomplish the CAN/ODB interface access, LED display, SD card and GPS access. Code is open source so you can extend it any way desired. There is also a small joystick on the shield for menu navigation (up down L R + push)
