Log CAN bus messages

Postby nicemd » Wed Feb 04, 2015 2:58 pm

I'm trying to reverse engineer a sensor on the can bus.

Is there a way to get my DL1 MK3 Club log all messages on the CAN bus?

Or does anybody have other suggestions how to find out the sensor's message id and format?

Hello,

Unfortunately the DL1 club does not have the option for CAN raw which is only available on the DL1pro and DL1WP.

The CAN raw option allows you to log all the CAN data and also display it live.

The live option allows you to see the ID and bytes via the serial port on the PC. You then can disconnect sensors and see which numbers move in sync with the sensors being disconnected.

The logging allows you to go through the bytes on the quick graph in attempt to recognise or relate it to other messages.

The screen shot below shows CAN raw bytes 3 and 4 for CAN ID 0x37C. Byte 4 shows correlation between the accelerometers circled in blue which confirms the suspected looking RPM trace as RPM. RPM is always a 2 byte message and byte 3 looks like a message that is constantly rapping as expected for the LSB of the message.

For upgrade options or further questions please contact me directly. Kieran at race - technology . com

Kind regards,
