CAN Bus Explained - A Simple Intro [v2.0 | 2021] 🌟

What is CAN bus?
www.csselectronics.com/pages/...
CAN bus (ISO 11898) is a vehicle bus standard that enables robust, efficient and decentralized communication between electronic control units. It is today the de facto standard in practically all automotives (cars, trucks, tractors, buses, motorcycles, ...), maritime vessels, aerospace applications and industrial machinery.

Randomly running into one of the best introductory videos about CAN Bus (trust me, I have many years of making my daily bread writing code for it!). Kudos!

[@jslu0413]

I assume part of the videos you clicked on KZbin are technical ones related to your job domain. 🙂

[@laurv8370]

@@jslu0413 actually not much, YT is more for unrelated hobbies, like science, math, 3d printing, unicycle riding, and watching funny cats and dogs (and people :P) - my subscri' list is mostly public - but yeah, some clicks are for job, however, YT is not a reliable source if you want to make good products, the best is to study the datasheets, the standards, ask professionals, and generally, RTFM

Good video👍 on a difficult subject, technology can make are lives ether easer or be used to make are lives more difficult, anyone that grown up around auto industry knows they like to make it a difficult as possible with total disregard for anyone who must repair there 4 wheels nightmares.

[@ahmadabuazzeh7305]

wow thank you so much for this well explained CAN bus video. It would be perfect if you make a video with real components of CAN bus and how to connect them

[@martinfalch4648]

Hi Ahmad, thanks - can you let me know what type of components you had in mind?

[@gollapalligopalakrishna6470]

@@martinfalch4648 may be can case xl and connection with some type of ecu and connection to the pc simply a bench setup to test them in simulation way..!

Daniele Cerchierini beautiful! Is it in production now? Or a product from the past? thank you!

[@bhavinrathod406]

Canbus 2.0a is same as can layer 2 with 11 bit identifier?

[@shudonghan876]

good key！which one is it?

[@edenpindoria5105]

Can I just confirm the term ECU and Node r used interchangeably and are pretty much the same thing… Is that right?

[@jose15238]

Whats the best number to contact you at? Im an automotive engineer and i think your devices could be of use. I need to read basic CAN data but almost never have the manufacturer DBC files. And if I could get a A basic OBD2 DBC file with your logger that would work.

Hi, I would like to swop a Subaru engine with cantus. Can I fit this into a 1967 vw beetle.

[@ElantraFukkenGang]

When you buy LED resistors, what are they referring to with “can bus”

[@person880]

If you mean for car lights, the LEDs will have lower resistance and draw less current, leading the car to think a bulb has broken. The resistors just trick the car into thinking the regular bulb is there. I'm assuming the bulbs are monitored on the CAN bus, so the resistor is there to make sure there are no error messages on the CAN bus.

[@ElantraFukkenGang]

@@person880 yep exactly, 5 months ago I didn’t know what CAN was, now I know how to work with and around it. Thank you! 🤠

[@person880]

@@ElantraFukkenGang No problem. It's nice to learn new things.
