In this project we debugged the hardware and wrote the software of the previous labs project "Can Bus Logger". The projects goal was to communicate with vehicles computers via our device. At the end of the project, we managed to receive and parse data from the vehicle in real time, such as speed. RPM, temperature etc.
The CAN (Controller Area Network) bus is an automotive communications system developed by Robert Bosch specifically for data exchange between electronic control units, switches, sensors and actuators in vehicles. CAN is also used in industrial micro controller networks. It allows for data supply between measurement, control and display functions and super ordinate computers, as well as for connecting sensors, actuators and controls.
