Arduino and CAN BUS data

Projects Programming

Hi guys!

I'm newbie in Arduino topic and I need some help cause there is a lot of informations I don't understand for the moment :frowning:

I need my Arduino to get some CAN data from my car for example engine RPM or engine temperature.

Then I need to write simple function for example if RPM are equal or higher than 3000rpm then one of digital output will go to high level

and the same with engine coolant temperature....

I couldn't find anything like this on the websites so I hope someone with knowledge will be able to help me here.

Big thanks for your time!

How is the Arduino connected to the car? Do you have a CANBUS shield?

Yes, it's actually connected via sparkfun shield with MCP2515 and MCP2551 on board.

If is necessary I can buy some other module just to make it simplest way...

Regards!

Hi,
Welcome to the forum.

Have you got the library to use the canbus shield?
You need to provide a link to data for the canbus shield.

Please read this thread http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,148850.0.html
to see how to best use the forum.

Thanks.. Tom.. :slight_smile:
