Course Overview

How to Program an Arduino for CAN bus Network Communication

Learn how to build and program Arduino hardware to implement CAN bus network communication

99% of the time, CAN bus will be implemented on embedded systems. That's the plain reality. So if you get a job where you are working with CAN bus, you will mostly likely be programming and troubleshooting this protocol on embedded systems. This course is designed to give you your first taste as to what it is like to program an embedded system in order to create your first very own CAN bus network.

This course uses the Arduino because by far it is the most popular system of it's kind out there. It's very inexpensive, widely available, easy to use and there is tons of support on the web for it. It's why I chose it for this course.

At the end of this course, I hope that you will purchase your own components and build, run and test just as is shown in the lectures. In that way, if you go to a job interview and they ask you go about building a CAN bus network, you will be able to say ... "Sure, let me tell you how I did it!"

    My second course, very happy with the examples. Looking forward to purchasing my Arduinos and CAN Bus Shields and experimenting.

    Yes this was a good match. even though I am familiar with arduino this course allows me to quickly implement my own canbus implementation. I will be reading canbus information from a Renogy 3500 watt solar inverter. the goal is to then use my knowledge from your arduino modbus course to create a modbus slave that will tie into my RV PLC controlled load shed system(Siemens logo 8 based).

    There are numerous cases of the info being incorrect or out of date. When ever I did as the video said in terms of writing the Arduino code by my self or when I downloaded and used the code provided in the resources side of things the problem persisted. There is an issue with the Library used in the video that has not been addressed or updated in the video and I understand if this is a new problem but there are questions that go back 2 years asking the video producer to help them fix it. If they have known about the problems that long it should have been addressed via another video update or something that explains what may be going on.

    Wish there were a few more example to explore the library. Possibly an example monitoring vehicle traffic.
