From Wikipedia, the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus is a "vehicle bus standard designed
to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other within a vehicle
without a host computer." These devices can also be referred to as electronic control units
(ECUs). Essentially the CAN bus is a bunch of linked ECUs within the vehicle that communicate
with each based on a broadcast. Every ECU intercepts every broadcast, but individually decide
whether or not to react to it.

Here's an example:

Let's imagine there's one ECU that controls the brake lights, one ECU that controls the car
horn, and one ECU that controls the braking system. Whenever you blow the horn, the horn
ECU sends a broadcast message out on the CAN bus network to every ECU it is connected to,
including the brake light ECU and the braking system ECU. The brake light ECU intercepts that
broadcast message, but chooses to ignore it because it has no relevance. The brake light ECU is
really only waiting on the message from the brake system ECU. Also, the horn ECU doesn't
react to the braking system ECU.

This broadcast system is broken down into different components; the two most important are
message ID and message data.

For now, think of the message ID as an ECU address. The message data is the content. It is
typically larger than the ID at around 8 bytes long.

Here's an example:
message ID: 620
data: 10 80 FF FF 80 20 00 80

The ECUs communicate with each other over a twisted wire pair holding CAN-high (CAN+)
and CAN-low (CAN-). CAN-high and CAN-low are accessible through the OBD-II port under the
steering wheel. This is how we'll get in!

Pro-tip: Use a wire tracer/tone generator to backtrace to other CAN Bus access points within
your car.

Volkswagon has a good guide to how the CAN Bus network works:
http://www.volkspage.net/technik/ssp/ssp/SSP_238.pdf

Step 1: Components and Assembly

Following

Components:

1- Arduino UNO R3

2- Sparkfun (or other) CAN Bus Shield: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10039

Note: Also available at SK Pang: http://skpang.co.uk/catalog/arduino-canbus-shield-with-usd-

card-holder-p-706.html (SK Pang also supplies the needed CAN Bus library).

Note2: At the time of this writing, there were only 6 in stock at Sparkfun.

Note3: Sparkfun's CAN Bus shield also has a joystick (up, down, left, right, center), a micro SD
slot, and support for GPS and LCD modules.
Note4: If you're feeling up to it, you can order the parts from Digikey and make your own
using Sparkfun's provided EAGLE CAD drawing.

3- Wire pair or Sparkfun's OBD-II to DB9 cable:https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10087

Note: I found some old speaker wire that worked great.

4- breakable header pins - the CAN Bus shield doesn't include them:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/116

Assembly:

1- Break headers into 2x8 pin, 2x6 pin, and (optional - 1x4 pin sections)

2- Solder the headers to the CAN Bus shield.

Step 2: Familiarizing Yourself With the CAN Bus Library

Once assembled, be sure to download the CAN Bus Library for use with your Arduino IDE.

Library and Example files are located here:

https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_CAN-Bus_Ardui...

Download link for Library and Examples:

Hi, I hope you are all well.

Has anyone managed to work out how to write data to the CAN bus? I have the Sparkfun

cable, and I can read messages but writing messages doesn't work. Any assistance would

I am trying to use can bus shield to read data from obd2 and then modify some of the data
and then output the modified data to an external device. The external device is normally
connected directly to the can bus plug so the data it receives is from the high and low
cables. My question is once I modify the message via the processing the data in arduino
and using my custom sketch how do I output it back out into the high and low cables from
arduino output so that the external device receives the modified data in the hi / low
format that the external device it’s expecting when it’s connected directly to the ond2
port.

Hi. I am experimenting on a Suzuki Every minivan in order to decipher the message

required for locking/unlocking the doors, using your (above, first instance) code for
unfiltered reading. While I am able to initialize at 250, then passing to the void loop I
simply cannot get past the first if condition: if (mcp2515_check_message()) as I keep on
getting routed to the else condition I have added for simple tracking purposes. Any
suggestions on what I need to modify on the code or in the libraries, in order to make it
work? Thank you in advance.

I'm working on an opensource project to read board computer data from busses (coaches).
Those non-consumer vehicles have often a modified ODBII port. So we need to hook-up on
the can-bus before that port. As cutting cables is not an option there are those 'Crocodile'
adaptors (this device: ) to snif and read from the Can-H and Can-L cables
Have anyone of you here already experience here and if yes what hardware are you using
to 'copy' the Can-H and Can-L cable data and then hook onto the Arduino?

I added 2 images. Both have the same function to snap over the 2 can cables to copy the
data. 1 is the can-crocodile and the other is the clicq-system of Squarell. The later comes
with a closed "non open-source" hardware system where you depend on the supplier.

We uploaded the code to the Arduino with the SparkfunShiels, the connection to the car is
directly from Can-H, Can-L, GND to OBDII. We get initialization ok, but no data. We tried
can-speed 500, 250, and 125. We are working on different cars and have tried the same
procedure in different models. Our main goal is though to communicate with BMW E46
(we got information, that because of the K-line, the E46 needs to be connected to CAN via
14 and 8, in stead of 14 and 6 as the other models).
What to do to get the CAN-data?
Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone,
So, I've been trying to do a bit of can-bus hacking and sadly have been running into some
problems.

First of all, when I connect the Sparkfun shield via OBD-|| cable I get no data, I figured
this is due to the gateway not sending any data unless requested. Does anyone know how
to request all data on all the busses?

Secondly, I have had trouble sending messages that give an expected outcome. e.g. I
filtered out all the messages running on the dashboard bus, found the message for
blinking my lights, but when I send the message back on the bus my lights don't turn on.
How could I do this?

Any ideas are super welcome!

Thanks in advance

Hi, I tried this on my 2003 VW Golf mk4. I had to hookup my shield directly on the bus
wires, located behind the dashboard to be able to read messages. Took me quite a while to
find the right wires. You have to look for a pair of orange twisted cables connected to the
green plug behind the dashboard. There are three orange pairs. Two of which are
Orange/black and orange/brown. You have to use the light coloured pair. Orange/black is
Can H and orange/brown is Can L (at 500kbps). Currently im collecting data and try to
understand it. My goal is to implement cruise control and an active rev matching system,
controlled by a windows 10 pc in the trunk, which is connected to a touchscreen in the
front, replacing the radio and navigation system.

Hi! I'm working on a project for my 1996 Saab 900 turbo. I wonder what message.id does.
Is it an identifier that is sent to the ECU and the ECU then responds back with the same
identifier so it's easier to know what it is responding to? Also I would like to know what
message.header.rtr does. The last queston I have (for now) is if I need to do anything else
to make it run at 615 kbps than to edit the Canbus.h file and change CANSPEED in the
sketch?

I need to transmit and receive specific CAN messages for a project. I have to use a laptop
with Busmaster on one end and the Arduino with the CAN shield on the other. When I
send messages from the Busmaster to the Arduino I get an error. A CAN message isn't
transmitted by busmaster. Is there anything else I need to add to the code?

The setup is a laptop with busmaster sending CAN signals to the shield-arduino through a
USB-DB9 connector. The Arduino is connected via USB to another laptop on whose serial
monitor I wish to read the messages being transmitted by the first laptop. Also do I need to
worry about adding 120 ohm resistors anywhere in this setup? Please help.

Hi. Great guide.

I need an Analog 0-5V to CAN converter at work and the cheapest one I can find is about
£400. So I am thinking of going the Arduino route and developing our own.

I have a joystick that outputs in CAN but I cannot use it for reasons, and it is connected in a
forklift truck (which uses CAN to communicate of course)

I have a joystick that outputs in 0-5V which I can use, but of course, I need to translate the
0-5V to CAN exactly as the OEM.

I am kind of struggling to figure out how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

For that, I have two sparkfun can-shields.
I wanted to know,
1.Can I connect them directly by using CAN_H and CAN_L pins provided on shield?(I tried
direct connection, but I'm not able to receive can frame at the receiving arduino board)

2. whether do i need to connect terminating resistors of 10 ohm at both ends?

3.is there any API, where can we configure baudrate and can fram id etc?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

i bought the "SparkFun CAN-BUS Shield" and

hooked up on a Arduino Uno. After that, I uploaded the sketch
"CAN_Read_Demo". I connected it to my car, but there was no data
displayed on the serial monitor. Then I uploaded the sketch "SparkFun_CAN_Demo"
to test the board.

The serial monitor shows:

CAN-Bus Demo

Please choose a menu option

1.Speed

2.RPM

3.Throttle

4.Coolant Temperature

5.O2 Voltage

6.MAF Sensor

But when I enter a option (e.g. 1 for Speed) it shows

following error:

Hello,

I have read your instructable with great interest and have a doubt about the 4 pin headers
needed to connect to the sparkfun can-shield. When are they used in the code? Or the
hi/low information from the obd2 connector passes the information through the db9
connector on the shield? Browsing the code, I get the idea that it is only necessary to
connect the sparkfun can-shield to the arduino and the rest is code.

Can you clarify?

Great guide stvmac11 !

I'm facing a little problem though.. when I use your "all messages" code, I'm getting the
"can init OK" but nothing after that... if I will put the code below inside the loop (including
the "buffer" declaration at the begining) , I'm getting the engine's rpm correctly...

Canbus.ecu_req(ENGINE_RPM, buffer);
Serial.print("Engine RPM: ");
Serial.println(buffer);

Can you tell what it is going wrong?..

I can confirm what @MoniCris has said: Use the GROUND/GND Luke! Also consider cutting
P1 (right above the CAN-H screw)

I had to do both to finally get my first message from the damned shield in my Ford
Mondeo.

Hi. It is a great instructable. I try the same, but I have a problem.

1. In my Skoda Octavia II (2013), the OBD plug have pins 1,4,5,6,14,16. Rest of the pins have
no connection inside. I connect my Can Shield to 6(can H), 14(can L) and GND. I check the
voltage and I have +2,5V on H and +2,5V on L to GND. I use your library and can not
connect to CAN. I change the can speed to get the can error, but nothing. With and without
engine started

2. Between the drivers door and the car, I reach the Convenience can bus lines. I connect
my can shield and works at 100 kbps. I search for another library because the library you
used is not reaching this low speed. I get thousands of frames just locking doors. I found
the frame witch blocking the doors, and sending it back, is doing the job. Making an error
on can speed from 100 to 125 or 500, I get the Christmas tree lights on my car's dash panel
... normal.

But I wish to use the OBD's can lines. Have you any idea what can be wrong? Next days I
will try on an Skoda Fabia (2003).

Thanks

P.S.: To all others, when you connect can bus, you need to connect 3 wires: CAN HIGH, CAN
LOW, and GROUND!!

Cheers
