CAN Seminar Part 1 of 4.mp4

Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial network technology that was originally designed for the automotive industry, especially for European cars, but has also become a popular bus in industrial automation as well as other applications. The CAN bus is primarily used in embedded systems, and as its name implies, is a network technology that provides fast communication among microcontrollers up to real-time requirements, eliminating the need for the much more expensive and complex technology of a Dual-Ported RAM. This seminar will provide an overview of the CAN technology plus its use in higher layer protocols such as CANopen, DeviceNet, and SAE J1939. The presenter, Wilfred Voss, has worked in the CAN industry since 1997 and is author of "A Comprehensible Guide to Controller Area Network."

@rajohns08 First of all, be aware that everything that has to with CAN in an automobile is highly proprietary, and information on the nature of messages is not available to the regular person. On top of that there are a bunch of liability issues if you "interfere" with the network. I recommend checking out literature on Amazon.com, especially car electronics. I know there are a few books that explain the process of accessing and using an automobile's electronic system.

if i want to add a new node to an already established CAN bus in an automobile how do i do this? for example if i wanted to add a projector to the CAN bus would this be done with a DSUB9 cable?
