Hi all,


I'm actually going to work with th CAN BUS which seems to be present in our Crossfires.
I will use an Arduino with the CAN-BUS Shield from Sparkfun that you can find informations here : https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10039



Does someone here already tried to communicate with the CAN BUS ?

For the first times, i will try to get these values in realtime :
- RPM
- Engine Load
- Coolant Temperature
- Oil Temperature
- Air Intake Temperature


Later, i will try to capture commands like window buttons, remote key fob button press for adding options like lowering the window while staying pressed on the OPEN button on the key fob.

If you want to share your knowledge, let's go !


Thanks

 

Over at the LX Forums there's a member who created the TranZformer. It's a CAN device that allows for some neat functions through the use of steering wheel buttons.

Since our systems are so closely related, it may be of technical advantage to ping him, in addition to what you might find here.

Also there are several wiki pages out on the Web which take you through the basics of identifying signals, etc.

Good luck, and keep us posted on your progress!
