I’m interested in the CAN Bus course you’re offering, but I’d like to confirm that what I’m planning to do is actually possible before signing up.
My project involves a 1600cc turbocharged Mazda engine in a 700 kg, rear-wheel-drive (open diff) vehicle.
I’m running a MaxxECU Sport, which currently has all but one of its inputs in use. Have E throttle running,
My goal is to build an Arduino-to-CAN Bus adaptor for the Sport. the material cost for this is less than $100 so worth having a play with :)
The Arduino will handle the wheel speed sensors (Hall effect), convert those signals into CAN messages, and transmit them to the ECU. The car will have tooth wheels on both front and rear axles to measure wheel speeds.
I’ve been working with ChatGPT to generate the Arduino code and wiring diagram, and I believe the setup will mostly need fine-tuning in terms of the CAN message structure. the arduino code would be pretty much handled by AI, not bright enough to write that !!
Where I’m getting stuck is understanding exactly what data the MaxxECU Sport expects to receive for traction control to work correctly — such as wheel speed format, tooth count,Kph, wheel slip, could get arduino to do maths if reqd,
Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
