CAN Bus Development for Embedded Systems: With and Without an Operating System

Explore the differences in CAN Bus development between embedded systems with or without an operating system. Compare Linux-based Raspberry Pi with PiCAN HATs to bare-metal Teensy and ESP32 platforms. Learn which solution fits your application needs.

Know OBD2 Before You Start That Development Project

OBD2, or Onboard Diagnostics Second Generation, is a vehicle diagnosis system found in modern cars and trucks. The OBD2 system collects data from sensors and other monitoring devices, which are then examined by the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU) to determine whether any issues need to be addressed. Problems with the engine, gearbox, emissions system, and others, are among the most common faults that OBD2 can discover.

Two-Channel CAN Bus To USB Gateway With Windows Data Monitor And C++, Delphi, LabView Software

The USBCAN-II Pro CAN Bus interface module by GCAN is equipped with SJA1000 CAN controllers and PCA82C251 transceivers. The two CAN Bus ports are galvanically isolated (1500 V), and the adapter is compliant with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. It can be used as a debug or analysis tool with two CAN channels. The gateway also supports automatic CAN Bus baud rate detection.

Vehicle Road Weather Information Sensor With Optional CAN Bus Interface

Lufft has developed the Marwis weather-sensor detecting road and runway conditions. It comes with optional CAN connectivity.

The road weather sensor can be installed on vehicles with a distance of 3 to 6 ft. above the surface and delivers information about temperatures, water film heights, dew points, road conditions (dry, moist, wet, snow, ice), ice percentages, relative humidity, and friction with a frequency of up to 100 times per second. It serves as an decision support with regard to preventive gritting.

CAN Repeaters: Network Savior or Serial Trouble-Maker?

Learn how CAN repeaters improve network stability, isolation, and signal quality—and why they don’t magically extend CAN bus length.
