Hello my friends 
i try to conect the sparkfun canbus shield with arduino uno to read valeu from my car but i can't, i try lot off codes but nothning i talk with sparkfun and tell me maybe is not work because protocols is for US car not for EUROPE cars and dont know how to right a code for conect protocol with my car. anyone has code for protocols and how to bild this protocol?
sodomistis:
Hello my friends
this is say how to work can bus not how to bild comunicator i need how to bild for arduino with shield
Sorry,
but you gave much to less information to help you.
How did you connect the CAN?
What Baud rate did you used?
Did you use a resistor at the end of the bus?
Which CAN in the car you want to look at?
Sure all the brands are using different CAN catalogs but the raw data should be readable in any case. The secret thing is what is the purpose of the bits in a CAN message.
Succubus

i fink the more information is not useful because if protocol with canbus is not right the athores information is not matter.
but i tell you the connect with can is with DB9 cable obd from spark fun canbus shield with this.

i read this and they say about 5 protocols, my car has iso9141 how to programa for this protocol?
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/getting-started-with-obd-ii?_ga=1.65582893.2095413520.1466463485
But you have an Opel, than it could also be this protocol
SAE J1850 VPW (This protocol is Variable Pulse Width, which runs at 10.4 kbps. GM vehicles typically use this version.)
But if you check this table it should be CAN
Check that you are using the right pins and 500kbps and standard identifier
What can you see in the serial monitor did the init succeed?
i try second time with new settings at the fille defaults.h and i see the pins not match i chanse and work BUT only the RPM with this example code

after 20-30 sec read and show rpm but with ''lag'' and 1-2 times stuck, because i dont want code like up example i fix one to see if work but nothnig.
Why has to many lag to read and show the rpm? at serial monitor.
my Sketch is this i fink is right but dont work 
#include <TFT.h>
#include <SPI.h>

the chanses at the defaults.h is this.

i dont understen what is the B,3 B,4 ........ and why the MCP2515_INT has D,2???
the right pins is at the arduino
Hello,
sorry I didn't really understand what your current problem is,
- nothing is working
- you got only the RPM value
- you only got the RPM value sporadic?

D,2 is the port D and bit 2 of your processor where the int line of the MCP2515 is connected to on the Arduino connector it should be the connection pin with the "2" next to it ;-).
This is with an UNO the 3rd pin from the top of the upper left connector if the USB and power connector faces to you.
first of all i want to show some value Boost presure, water temp, rpm, O2 sensor, from exmple codes has the libries of shield canbus only 1 of 2 work but show the value are to slow and at start i wait 20-30 sec to show the value and has to many lag to see. why has so many lag?
i try to fix new one code but nothing the code is the previous post if you want to see how to fix the code and if is right.
i try to put new one libraries this
but nothing againe i fink this libraries want to modify for my canbus but i dont know how to because has inside the PID of boost and more value want to use.
How to fix a code to read the value with no lag?? what i do wrong?
first of all sorry about my english i fink is horrible!!!! After a few chanses at the code and the defaults.h at serial i wait 2-3 min (the programm is running for this 2-3 min) and show me the rpm BUT after 30sec go to 0 or show me 0 g/s and i dont know what value is this some times after againe from 2-3 min i see this.
where can be the problem?? 
the last value 315 rpm is the time i turn off the car and then 0 the car is off
hello againe in fille canbus.h i found this

this is the PID and you call to see the valeu?? for example if i want to see rpm when I write Canbus.ecu_req(ENGINE_RPM, buffer); i see the rpm from my car and i wrote Canbus.ecu_req(MAF_SENSOR, buffer); i see the maf sensor??
hello againe after more modife to code i try this code to read mesase from here
the code is this
#include <Canbus.h> // don't forget to include these

Serial.println("");
}}
}
because i never see message to serial i try this to see if the shield work well and i see this
and i want to ask this, is this right message to see from obd at serial?
and if is right why when i upload this code i dont see the rpm??

OBD has two modes when used over CAN, 11bit and 29bit and while I am not familiar with the Arduino OBD library, I am familiar with the fact my vehicle will not work with 11bit mode and required 29bit mode on the scan tool I was using. You would need to determine what modes the library supports and if only one mode is supported, that is likely why you are not getting any values returned and the library would need updated.
Hi Guys,
Its a little urgent. Please help.
I have a arduino mkr can bus shield mounted on arduino mkrzero board. I have a can bus device that connects to the can bus shield. I can to read the data received from that CAN device on the arduino IDE serial monitor. How can I read the data recieved. Should I use SPI from mkr zero or some others pins to monitor this data?
Can some one please share the code to read this data somehow?
I have the picture of the assemble attached.
Thanks,
I was trying to use this code but the can bus shield always fails to initialize.

Hi the code you have looks very similar to mine, so I don't think it's code. I found that I got the failed to initialise if there was no power on the board, although I have to say this is clutching at straws as your picture shows what looks like good connections.
