This project uses the Arduino board and the CAN-BUS shield .
This shield gives the Arduino CAN-Bus capability. It uses the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller with MCP2551 CAN transceiver.
CAN connection is via a standard 9-way sub-D for use with OBDII cable. Ideal for automative CAN application.
The shield also have an uSD card holder, serial LCD connector and connector for an EM406 GPS module. Making this shield ideal for data logging application.
Features
- CAN v2.0B at 1 Mb/s
- High speed SPI Interface (10 MHz)
- Standard and extened data and remote frames
- CAN connection via standard 9-way sub-D connector
- 9-way sub-D standard OBDII connection cable
- Power can supply to Arduino by sub-D via fuse and reverse polarity protection.
- Socket for EM406 GPS module
- Micro SD card holder
- Connector for serial LCD
- Reset button
- Joystick control
- Two LED indicator

CAN-Bus shield
Hello,
I manufacture semi automatic gearshifters and I am interested in adding Can-bus to my systems, there will be a reasonably high volume if you can supply/support this?
Please contact me at your earliest convenience.
Kind regards,

Hello
I am working on a CANbus project,shortly I want to explaine about my project. I want to develop a controller to communicate a electrical car controller via CANBUS . Actually , I already achieved communication by using Arduino and CAN-RS232 converter,but now I want to eliminate CAN-RS232 converter and use a CANBUS shield which consists a MCP2515 CAN Controller and MCP2551 High Speed Can Transceiver.Actually, I have two CANbus shields.I am using ArduinoUNO controller card , I want to achieve a simple example such that —–>

Thanks for your time

I achieved communication , and a simple tutorial
Hi Mehmet,
I am working in the same field as well and would be very interessted in that tutorial you spoke of. Would you share that ?

can i get a project in which i hv to ….get the DTC from CAN or OBD-II via ELM327 IC and then using microcontroller send it through a to a remote location using GSM module interfacing (may be sending to a server end),,,,tele maintenance of veh at a far off distance by sending DTC and receving remedy from server
Hi,
I’m having trouble with the demo sketch, I download version 4 and extract the folders into my working arduino folder,
Load the sketch and try to verify the code it comes up “Canbus” wasn’t defined and lists
“Engine RPM”
“Coolant temp”
and so on ….
Can anyone help please?
I’m using arduino version 1 on windows XP
Cheers Toby

You need to copy the demo into your libraries folder and restart your IDE.
Found the problem,
The Arduino working folder (found in my documents where is saves a new project)
There should be a library folder in this working directory.
My computer didn’t have one so I made the a folder called Library, popped all the shield libraries into this folder and it worked a treat.
See this link for more info http://arduino.cc/blog/2009/08/15/new-library-folder-and-compilation-process-in-arduino-0017/

How do you do
I have a trouble.
I use “Arduino 1.0.4″ and your sketch “Canbus_v4″ but error messege have in “main.c”
> for (uint8_t i = 0; i PRINT(“0x%02x “, message->data[i]);
> }
It have error messege following.
‘for’ loop initial declaration used outside C99 mode

Hello
the error not only this one
could you tell me how to repare the scketch?
Hi,
How to modify library to add PID with different mode?
Please help me.
Hi
I am trying to interface the canbus-shield with a NetDuino 2 plus and wondering how to communicate with Serial LCD connector on the shield ? is it via SPI ?
Kind regards

I just got introduced to Arduino and I need to interface my steering wheel switchpack onto a CAN bus based simulator.
I am using Arduino UNO + Sparkfun CANBUS Shield + VN1610 CAN Analyzer + Switchpack
The switchpack talks to UNO on I2C
The UNO talks to CAN Shield via SPI, for obvious reasons
The Shield would port the data onto the CAN bus
Right now am establishing communication between each of the devices i have mentioned above
I am not able to get the CAN up and running, CAN Initialization is FAILING
I have powered the CAN shield with 12V through DB9 and made sure that all the electronics is referenced to same ground plane.
Kindly help me, why would i not be able to initialize CAN?
Hi,
I am facing the same problem of CAN initialisation when i connect my Arduino DUE with 3.3V CAN transceivers.
I did a loop test using Arduino DUE’s CAN ports and that worked successfully. But the moment i interface the board with CAN transceivers i get CAN initialisation error. Please help me with possible causes of such a happening.
Kind regards,
Saurav
Hello,
I write here as I found no page for PiCAN, sorry if I missed it.
I bought one from you and connected to my Raspberry Pi Model B.
Followed the instructions (copied kernel, reboot, checked kernel version was ok, used instmod for all those modules, used lsmod to ensure they are installed, tried caninit with and without board connected works only with it connected) but when I connect it to a vector CANcaseXL I get only error frames from Canalyzer. Cable and CANcaseXL are good, tested connecting between 2 channels of the CANcase and same CANalyzer simulation.
Any idea what could be wrong ?
Thank you,
Ovi
HI I am trying to operate the can bus shield with an arduino uno but i can not upload the demo sketch, the error which appears is the following:
ecu_reader_logger.ino: In function ‘void logging()’:
ecu_reader_logger.ino:263:8: error: ‘class SdFile’ has no member named ‘writeError’
Error compiling.
I tried almost everything reinstlled librries ,reinstlled arudino software 1.6 , but i can not find a way to work it
Any clue?
Hi,
I am having trouble getting the SD card to work,
I have been trying to use the Card info default example and have changed the chip select to 9,
Also made pin 10 & 9 output, and forced pin 9 high but still not working.
Anyone got this working ?
