CAN vs OBD2: What is the Difference?

[@Scott68B]

Interesting. I just got my CAN Shield and I was testing it on my Jeep. I couldn't seem to get any results. I was avoiding using my wife’s Toyota so I didn't screw it up but decided to give it a try and got a flood of frames in the output. This video seems to have answered the why. Thanks for the video!!! Your videos are a great source of information!

You are so awesome man. I really appreciate it.

[@KarlKristianMoeng]

Very good video!

It would be awesome if you could create a tutorial on how to use your board and ESP32 to open a garage with a button on a Tesla steering wheel. Thanks for your content!

[@MrDIYca]

yes, that is coming up next :)

[@juliotroche3835]

awesome information. I'm definitely getting that esp32. 1 question does that can information come from the ecu? in my case I would like to connect it to my motorcycle.

I have seen your webserial vid. Have you thought about a universal project to connect a existing nano (or any arduino) project that will connect to its serial port and a esp8266 or esp32 reads nano serial port and retransmits it via webserial. It can be used to temporarily troubleshoot/instrument a simple project that does not need full time webserial.

A vehicle manual won't show how to connect to the CAN bus. OBDII is not a protocol, and the CAN bus lives on the OBDII port.

@MrDIY thanks for your tutorials! Do you see any chance to control a car using CAN bus / OBD II so it could drive itself? Let's say, go into drive mode, release the brakes and go forward very slow and then brake and stop again...

[@MrDIYca]

You might want to check a project called OpenPilot

[@timbockhop7223]

@@MrDIYca thx so much. Will have a look.

[@langtupt]

maybe controller to KIA Car?

[@MrJimmyPenguin]

I sent you an email, on a project I'm attempting with your OBD boards, any insight would be a life saver.
