The release adds a CAN Bus Diagnostics feature, which allows technicians to view voltage and resistance readings directly ...

An engineer asked me a question about how to implement a CAN-bus circuit with the Texas Instruments SN65HVD251 transceiver. He had already studied data sheets and application notes. His key question ...

Today's passenger vehicles can utilize about 70 onboard computers (ECUs, actuators, and so forth). So let's consider this group an extended family, and just like any family, communication means a lot.

First off, let's establish the basics of how a CAN-Bus network operates. What CAN-Bus does is turn analog, switched voltage signals and sweeps into digital code. Let's take the speedometer, for ...

After I wrote about the CAN bus in a previous blog entry, I decided to get a few CAN-bus transceivers and run several basic experiments. I obtained samples of the SN65HVD251 transceiver from Texas ...
