Connecting Arduino + CAN-bus Shield + OBD-II port on car

Hello Everybody,

as everybody (as i believe) I started from doing my-own things to analyze the bus and then realized that I’m not the only one who is doing it :slight_smile: I made simple serial can protocol implementation for arduino so you can use any analyzer software to hack those damn cars. Arduino part is here GitHub - latonita/arduino-canbus-monitor: Can bus monitoring tool based on arduino and can bus shield. Implements CAN ASCII/SLCAN protocol compatible with Lawicel CAN232/CANUSB. Can be used for monitoring low speed CAN (interior can bus of most cars, less than 500kbps). For higher speeds serial port can become a bottleneck in case data density is high. . As for analyzer part - i use freely available CANHacker v.2.00.01 to do basic analysis.
Maybe this will help to better understand what is going on on the bus without too much text logs digging and more real time interaction.
