/ Posts, Products / By daniel kasamis As mentioned in our previous post, we think SavvyCAN developed by Collin Kidder is the best open-source cost per channel software tool for CAN bus sniffing. Finally, we have spent some time bringing the CANFDuino and the GVRET protocol for SavvyCAN up to speed to handle CANFD messages from 2 ports. With these […]

Today we are going to address an FAQ that has been asked a few times since launching the product: “is it possible to run CANFDuino off of 12V or 24V power?”. We have responded so far with: “Yes using the prototyping space to add a regulator”. This answer which while true, may not be so

SavvyCAN developed by Collin Kidder is the best open-source cost per channel software tool for CAN bus sniffing. It is just as powerful as many of the paid CANalyzer tools on the market and it’s very easy to get up and going and it even supports multiple CAN bus channels on multiple OS types (OSX, Linux,

Adding Bluetooth to CANFDuino In this post we are going to show you how the CANFDuino can be easily customized for your application by using the PCB prototyping area. Particularly, we received a variety of inquiries about adding wireless communications to the CANFDuino including WiFi, cellular, and Bluetooth. Let’s look at how you can easily

The CANFDuino platform can be turned into a handy 2 port CAN/FD sniffing tool for basic monitoring bus traffic without any fancy PC side software. What’s interesting is that a very old school terminal protocol developed in the 1970’s for VT100 terminals plays a part. The ANSI X3.64 protocol provided a really simple method for

Need for Speed Imagine you are planning your next EV conversion, OBDII CAN project, or working on a complex simulation or gateway project at work. Looking around, you find a wealth of information on Arduino UNO’s and associated SPI to CAN shields. This solution looks easy, lots of related example code, lots of vendors, and

It’s just two wires, what’s so hard about that? (Download our example drawing & guide here) While CAN and CAN FD networks only consist of a few wires, there are a few gotcha’s to consider when working on a harness design for a network that needs to be robust and reliable. Below are three “gotchas”

CAN & CAN FD CAN bus or Controller Area Network was developed as a robust means for embedded systems (microcontrollers) to talk to one another. CAN bus is largely synonymous with automotive systems as being one of the primary communication backbones used to broadcast information from electronic control units (ECU’s), sensors, and instrumentation systems in
