Reading and Clearing Vehicle Faults Yourself with an OBD2 Scanner
If you own a gasoline vehicle from 2001 onwards or a diesel vehicle from 2004 onwards, you can save costs by reading and clearing faults yourself using an OBD2 scanner.
Using this scanner is a convenient and efficient way to avoid unnecessary garage visits. However, it's important to realize that the scanner's results might be difficult to understand without technical knowledge.
- Read, clear, and resolve faults yourself
- Suitable for gasoline vehicles from 2001 onwards and diesel vehicles from 2004 onwards.
- The connection is often located near the fuses.
The Grove CAN-BUS Module Enables Communication
The Grove CAN-BUS Module allows various parts of a vehicle to communicate with each other, including the engine, transmission, brakes, and the adjustment of windows, doors, and mirrors. This makes it possible, for example, to hack cars and tailor them to specific desires. The CAN-BUS module can be found in, for example:
- 3D printers
- Building automation
- Lighting control systems
- Medical instruments and equipment
Technical Specifications of the Grove CAN-BUS Module
The Grove CAN-BUS Module enables CAN FD communication with a speed of up to 5 Mb/s, supports AT commands, and is compatible with Arduino. This small device is based on the GD32E103 microcontroller, with a frequency of up to 120 MHz, a flash size of 64 KB to 128 KB, and an SRAM size of 20 KB to 32 KB. Its 4-pin Grove connector makes it easy to connect and program.
The MCP2515 CAN Module
With the MCP2515 module, you can realize various applications, such as controlling motors, sensors, actuators, and other devices using CAN bus technology. It is particularly suitable for applications in the automotive industry, industrial automation, medical equipment, and more.
This CAN module uses the MCP2515 CAN bus controller and the TJA1050 CAN transceiver. This makes it easy to operate any CAN bus device via SPI interface using your MCU, such as the Arduino Uno.
The module supports CAN V2.0B and has a communication speed of up to 1 MB/s. It operates on a voltage of 5 V and has a working current of 5 mA. The module has an SPI interface that is easy to integrate into your system.
