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 [...]

SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino – ARD1939 Sample Application

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. The typical SAE J1939 ECU application not only involves the protocol stack but also a good amount of input and/or output processing. This could involve reading sensors and sending the result in form of a PGN or reading a PGN and setting [...]

SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino – End of Message Acknowledgment Timeout

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. In order to test all timeouts during an RTS/CTS session, I used a dedicated Arduino sketch to simulate all the “nasty” features that would trigger a communication breakdown. This method was easier to implement rather than using a full SAE J1939 stack. [...]

SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino – Clear to Send Timeout

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. The simplest test for a Clear to Send timeout is accomplished by running the Mega 2560 ECU as the only node in the network.To test this scenario, I run the Mega 2560 at an address of 0x80 (128) and attempt to initiate [...]

SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino – RTS/CTS Session Message Timing

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. Note the time stamps from line 3 through line 5 of the screen shot (look at the last four numbers indicating the time in tenth of milliseconds; for instance 352.4 milliseconds in line 3). SAE J1939/21 requires a packet frequency between 50 [...]

SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino - Transport Protocol – RTS/CTS Session (SAE J1939/21)

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. Test items include: Basic function Timing controlNaturally, for the RTS/CTS session we will need two SAE J1939 nodes. In my setup that means communication between the Arduino Uno and the Mega 2560 ECUs. [...]

SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino - BAM Session Message Timing

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. Looking at the below image, note the time stamps from line 1 through line 4 of the screen shot (look at the last four numbers indicating the time in tenth of milliseconds; for instance 942.4 milliseconds in line 1). SAE J1939/21 requires a [...]

SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino - BAM Session (SAE J1939/21)

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. Test items include: Basic function Timing controlThe initial test of the BAM session requires only one ECU, in this case I am using the full protocol running on the Arduino Mega 2560 [...]

SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino - Sending and Receiving Messages

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. Proving the capability of the most basic task of sending and receiving regular 8-byte (CAN) messages must be seen as an unnecessary test, since that had already taken place in previous chapters. Things change, however, with the transmission and reception of J1939 [...]
