Designed with user-friendliness, the V011 OBD2 Scanner is perfect for novices and seasoned car enthusiasts. The intuitive app is a powerful tool that helps you interpret the check engine light, understand the severity of any detected problems, and suggest possible fixes. This can help you avoid unnecessary trips to the repair shop and prevent you from being overcharged for repairs. The product also includes helpful how-to guides and video tutorials, empowering you to clear the check engine light and save significantly on repair bills.
Understanding car diagnostics has never been easier. The V011 OBD2 Scanner displays detected data in clear, easy-to-read charts. Whether it's engine coolant temperature, engine speed, vehicle speed, or control module voltage, the visual representation helps you quickly grasp your car’s status. Even beginners can compare these readings against typical values to determine if their vehicles need repairs.
The newly upgraded V011 OBD2 Scanner supports most car makes and models, making it one of the most versatile diagnostic tools on the market. It is compatible with many brands, including Toyota, Honda, Chevrolet, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Jeep, BMW, Porsche, Subaru, Nissan, Cadillac, Volkswagen, and Lexus, covering vehicles from 1996 to the present. This ensures that almost any vehicle owner can benefit from its extensive features. More Information...
Teensy 4.0 OBDII CAN-Bus ECU Simulator
This is a CAN-Bus OBDII ECU simulator that uses the Teensy 4.0 module (which is included). It's designed to test the OBDII interface and write diagnostic software. The Teensy processor is included and pre-programmed with the OBDII ECU simulator firmware.
Potentiometers can be used to adjust the ECU PID parameters. This board requires a 12 VDC power supply, and a 12 VDC adapter is included. More Information...
ESP32 Processor: CAN Bus Topology and Termination Resistors
This post is an excerpt from our application note Controller Area Network (CAN) Development with ESP32. It is my experience that newcomers to the technology overlook the importance of termination resistors. Missing or misplaced resistors can lead to transmission errors or even prevent transmission altogether. The general rule is that if you connect to an existing, fully [...]
Python Code Example for CANgineBerry’s CANopen Manager Firmware
Embedded Systems Academy has released a new software update for the CANgineBerry.

ESP32 Processor: Internal SJA 100 CAN Bus Controller
This post is an excerpt from our application note Controller Area Network (CAN) Development with ESP32.The ESP32 integrates a CAN Bus controller compatible with the NXP SJA1000. Thus, it is CAN 2.0B (ISO 11898, a.k.a. Classical CAN) specification-compliant.As with the SJA1000, the ESP32 CAN Bus controller provides only the data link layer and the physical layer [...]
ESP32 Processor: Adding a CAN Bus Transceiver
This post is an excerpt from our application note Controller Area Network (CAN) Development with ESP32.As a quick reference, I want to address the need for a CAN transceiver. As mentioned in the previous chapter, the ESP32 has an internal CAN Bus controller. However, this doesn't mean you can directly connect it to a network. You [...]
Telematics Gateway Choosing Criteria and Use Cases
An article in the CiA (CAN in Automation) CAN Newsletter explains the functionality, discusses the selection criteria, and describes the use cases of a telematics gateway using an example telematics device. As cars become more connected, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) require telematics solutions that enable smooth communication within and outside the vehicle. The device should be cloud-enabled, [...]
