SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino – RTS/CTS Session Test Program

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. Just for kicks, I extended the previously used Arduino sketch to simulate a fully functional RTS/CTS session (yet again, the code is highly tailored to the previous RTS/CTS session). Based on that sketch, I could simulate all error scenarios on the receiver’s side.This [...]

SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino – Conclusion

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. With all previous programming examples installed and explained, you should now have a pretty good grip on programming your own SAE J1939 application with the Arduino Uno and/or the Mega 2560.Yet, there are still numerous, possible scenarios for J1939 applications and all [...]
