Re: Canbus specifications

Just rekindling my CAN Bus project, and I am now receiving valid CANBus data, though I don't know how to convert the raw data into the actual values.... I have tried using the conversion formulas shown in sCal, but can't seem to decipher the data. Can anyone provide any more info about the CAN speci...

Re: Hardware Calibration Switch

Gents, for the record the S6 has got on board CAN bus termination, so that's one end of the bus sorted, it's up to you to terminate the other end :) Cheers, Pat. Thanks Pat, that will help when I finally get round to the wiring phase. Out of interest, and I think I know the answer to this but, if I...

Re: Hardware Calibration Switch

Thanks for the help on this Tim. I'm making enquiries now about my options. Unfortunately, I need CAN for my plans and RS232 isn't on the cards. I reckon I could probably get all the info I'd need from the serial output, but I've invested in a few CAN shields for Arduino which will eventually run my...

Re: Hardware Calibration Switch

Dam! Found the serial number....

433 grrrr

Who do I have to sleep with/Threaten to sleep with to get CAN enabled? Or do I just need a new ECU?

Re: Hardware Calibration Switch

Cheers Tim. I've got the Ecu in front of me on a bench supply. Where is the serial number?

Re: Hardware Calibration Switch

Thanks for the replies. So I now have three can Shields for arduino, and can successfully get them taking to each other, but still nothing from the Ecu. Now I have a valid can output to scope, I can see what I'd expect to see in terms of wave form, but with the same parameters set on the scope, I ge...

Re: Hardware Calibration Switch

Cheers Tim, Does the Syvecs terminate itself? From what I have read on CAN bus physical specs, the bus should be terminated at both ends with 120 ohm resistors, and you should get 60ohm between H & L (which is what I get). I'll try removing one of them tonight and see if I see stuff. There is so...

Re: Hardware Calibration Switch

Hi Tim, I have an Arduino CANbus shield, but am having issues with it actually reading anything from the Syvecs CAN output. Have you got any tips at all? The CAN controller has initialised ok at 1Mbps, but there seems to be nothing to read. I have it all set up on my test bench with a 'bus' terminat...

Syvecs CAN to Arduino

I am working on a little project to replace all of my interior, including the stock dash and the dials. I want to replace the dials with an Arduino powered display and need to get the information from the Syvecs to do so. I'm using the Sparkfun CAN Bus shield and an Arduino Mega board. I have got th...
