The EASIEST Way to Connect to a Car's CAN Bus

I think the KZbin algorithm just picked you up, because this showed up first on my recommended lol well done

[@csongorvarga]

Uh thanks. Great work. I was just about to start a similar project. I should order your board for this.

[@voltlog]

As far as I know a CAN network must have termination resistor present at the two physical end points of the CAN network. The circuit that you have designed seems to have a hardwired 120 ohm resistor which is introducing additional termination resistance against the CAN standard (as the car network already has termination resistors in place). Do you think this can cause any issues with the particular CAN network the shield will be connected to?

[@MrDIYca]

The CAN bus terminator resistor is in the schematic but not present on the board. It can optionally be added on the back of the PCB.

[@voltlog]

[@baccula]

@@Kristof-cl4df Model 3 (at least 1st gen) do not have OBD2 port. Requires breakout cable attached to diagnostic port behind console.

[@tubeyou0925]

The reason is... an OBDII port requirement is exclusively for federal emissions compliance. If your car does not have emissions, such as with EVs, you are exempt from having to follow this. I imagine in the future this will change, but for the time being, EV manufacturers are actually free to make whatever proprietary ports they want. Though right to repair laws will require them to provide access to the hardware and software to fix them... but at whatever cost they see fit.

[@ri5ux435]

The Model S and X do both have an OBDII port accessible underneath the infotainment display.

I've done a similar DYI and are able to to read from any Canbus (there are up to 6 on a Tesla). Have you had success writing to it, useful for virtual buttons for example. Lock, Unlock, AC, pre-condition. I am interested in collaborating on some interesting code.

[@MrDIYca]

I am not there yet. I don't feel comfortable writing to the bus - maybe down the road. However, I can do most of the things you mentioned using an unofficial API. I made a video about it here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJzQgJmunpKSiq8

There will either be a standard or the manufacturer will probably use similar addresses for all their vehicles, they might just assign it all randomly though, who knows? The CAN bus on cars isn’t a secret thing though and there are plenty of devices you can buy to plug in and read from the CAN bus so the information about how to get the data off of the bus must be out there somewhere.

There should be a standard for most vehicles, speed, rpm etc, specific functions are proprietary software.

[@Fine_i_set_the_handle]

its "typically" just hexadecimal which he should have auto translated in his code. The format is as follows. (what is being sent) [how many bytes of data are sent] (byte1) (byte2) (byte3) (byte4) (byte5) (byte6) etc etc etc ..... Example (120) [4] (0) (0) (0) (0) 120=wheel speeds 4=4 bytes of data 0= the speed of each wheel sensor Front left, front right, rear left, rear right. It's not always this simple sometimes you have to do math on multiple bytes to get the actual value but this is well documented on a wiki (at least for american vehicles) because they must conform for easy emission inspections

Attempt to search for a DBC file for your specific car model. You may be fortunate enough to find one.

Interesting, now can you make a immobiliser from it.

[@edgar9651]

Looks good, and it's nice that all is together on one board. But, IMHO, it is way too expensive. I built something similar myself a couple of years ago and the cost was less than 10 USD, I don't remember the actual amount.

[@laurentmathivet1214]

Yep I really do agree with you. Really good idea but way too expensive... I'll go with a mini 560 for 12 to 3.3 v conversion and a SN65HVD230 for can transceiver available on Amazon or AliExpress for a few bucks. But again, really good design !

[@mfx1]

if you can make your own for that much (which I doubt) then fine but $38 is pretty reasonable to pay for someone's time to assemble it and they have to make a living on top of the parts cost as well as the cost of dealing with stupid questions from customers and replacing faulty units, units that get lost in shipping etc. People who say stuff like hat probably don't run their own business and particularly a small business dealing in niche products.

$40 does not seem steep to me at all. And definitely not 'way too expensive'. If it takes me more than about 20 extra minutes to figure out the parts and assemble things, just buying this basically plug and play option is money well spent. Yeah, it's $10-15 in parts, but that's not factoring design and assembly. How much is your time worth and how do you want to spend it I guess is the question.

@@mfx1 Sorry if I upset you. It wasn't my intention. To make myself clear, it's just a lot of money for someone who's just playing with CAN Bus for fun and that there are some cheaper alternatives for that. I understand very well the problems you are facing as someone who owns a little business. Clients are more and more exigent. But your design is really interesting. Maybe you should consider making another version with two CAN Buses (One CAN 2.0 and one with Flexible Data) I think there would be enough space on the PCB for that.

A modern car that doesn't have an OBD2 port just seems so anti consumer.

[@shanebekker]

Will this not invalidate a new cars warranty?

Its the easiest way to render your car immobile - unless you are very sure of what you are doing!
