CAN bus with Arduino Due
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
You can analyse CAN bus traffic using an Arduino Due.
You will need the following:
- An Arduino Due board
- One or two SN65HVD230-based CAN transceivers
- An SPI Micro SD storage module (optional)
Here are the steps:
Configure your Arduino IDE
Download and install the Arduino IDE on your computer
Tools -> Board -> Boards Manager. Type "due" in the search box and install "Arduino SAM Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M3)"
Connect your computer to the the "programming" USB port on the Arduino Due board with a USB cable. The Due has two USB ports and they're used for different purposes. More on that later...
Tools -> Port. Make sure your Arduino board is selected
File -> Examples -> 01.Basics -> Blink
Sketch -> Upload
Hopefully you have a blinking light on your Arduino board. This means your IDE is working.
