SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino - SAE J1939 Monitoring And Simulation

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. As I wrote before, both versions of the Arduino used in this book, the Uno and the Mega 2560, are well suitable for SAE J1939 monitoring and simulation projects. Until now, the simulation of SAE J1939 data traffic involved the purchase of expensive [...]

SAE J1939 Applications with the Arduino

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. In general, there are three different intentions for connecting to a J1939 vehicle network: Mere monitoring, processing, and display of network data traffic. All functions as described under 1. but extended by [...]

SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino - Message Design

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. For this programming sample I have randomly chosen two PGNs from the vast selection of available parameter group numbers. They are: PGN 65267 – Vehicle Position, provides the vehicle’s latitude and longitude. Transmission Repetition [...]

SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino - SAE J1939 Simulation Example

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino.The following programming sample demonstrates effectively how easy simulating SAE J1939 data traffic can be (while the level of complexity can be easily adjusted to the application requirements). However, before we dive into the actual coding, we need to design the simulated messages, [...]

SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino - MCP2515 Function Calls

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. There are further functions, among others, for message filtering and settings masks, and they are worth being checked out for more sophisticated functions, but they are not necessary for simple CAN communication tasks.The implementation of the MPC2515 library is fairly easy: Open Arduino, [...]

SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino - Performance Restrictions

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. It is important to know that neither the Arduino Uno nor the Arduino Mega 2560, even though perfect for prototyping due to low price and ease of programming, are not, in their bare form, an industrial-strength solution, not only in terms of [...]
