Seems to me on a fundamental level you don't actually know what we're talking about but you're learning and you do a good enough job to contribute.. So thanks for that. That's what really matters.
This video serves as an excellent introduction to the fundamental aspects of the CAN Bus setup. I'm eager to learn more so I can gain a deeper understanding of the communication system within my Ducati. I presume that if there's a need to continuously transmit dynamic data, such as throttle position codes, there must be a method to relay this information to the microcontroller without requiring a flash and reset of the device. In my scenario, the constantly changing throttle position codes would be transmitted over the CAN Bus to the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to regulate the engine's power output.
Why you want to transmit to the ECU? Usually, this is a data wich is transmitted by the engine ECU over CAN Bus, you can read the CAN traffic and maybe datalogging it on an SD card or send to a Display. In you case, the TPS position is hardwired to the ECU, readed the analog signals (more than 1 signal in case of multiple Throttle bodies independently controlled with TBW system).
The upload may be blocked, as you're using gpio0 in your wiring. Try switching gpio0 to any other pin, as that's the pin that the BOOT button connects to.
I want to warn you all- my ESP32-D0WDQ6 (yes, I know - discontinued) didn't want to work with any of the chips. How much time and effort). Just replacing with ESP32-D0WD-V3 solved everything. Good Luck in Ur projects!
I often see an MCP2515 used in conjonction with a TJA1050. You're only using the TJA1050 ans I don't really understand how it is possible ? Or, is in your example, the workload that should be done by the MCP2515, is done in software by the ESP32 ?

Very nice video. it would be great to see the TCAN 1051 (i think the same), and this library to to transmit using CANOpen. do you have a video on CANOpen with this chip/MCU?
The ESP32 is a 3.3v chip. The dev board provides a 5v to 3.3v regulator. The can transceivers use 5v. You have them connected to the Vin pin, which is 5v from USB. The CAN H/L lines swing from 0 2.5 and 5 to 2.5. This normally would be too much for a ESP32. I thought maybe the resistors are placed there in the reference doc to help with the voltage difference. In series like this is not the best, it will slow down transmission. Using a logic converter is the best way. But it also looks like this particular chip can handle 3.3v signals. Not the one you have. Is seems to work though. Interesting.
Hi Chris, you are right, the ESP32 operates at 3.3V, and the dev board down-regulates 5V input. It's worth noting that the voltage levels on the CAN bus are specified by the CAN standard, not by the TJA1050 transceiver itself. High-speed CAN signalling at 5V input drives the CANH wire towards 3.5 V, which very slightly exceeds the 3.3V max of the GPIO pin, probably fine. Taking a look at the TJA1050 datasheet, it also works in 3.3V mode, so I'll probably use this instead to make sure I don't fry my micro, nice catch! :)
@@Quemedices684 TJA1050 datasheet states: "Input levels compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V devices" If you power the transceiver from 5V, and the controller from 3.3V, the transceiver should not fry the controller.
this projects seems interesting because very few tutorial and success dealing ESP32 to can bus network due to 3.3v , i hope you will make another video similar to that one but add an arduino uno and join the 3 MCU, it wil be more interesting
If you mean the payload literally has a 1 or 0 bit then I'm not sure if that's possible with the library I used. I'm considering writing my own CAN driver in a video, stay tuned!
Is there hardware that is in a shock proof case, meaning can be use in more of extreme conditions that has both the comimark transceivers and ESP32 in one ? I have a project where i need to control 10-15 CAN bus components, but its outside and i need something in a case that can withstand this environment.
Previously, thank you for making this video. I want to ask why when I run the program, the Sender only displays Sending Packet and the Receiver only displays CAN Initialized . I'm using MCP 2551 Transceiver
Hi, great video. I am working on copying this system for a little canbus project over here. I did everything up to the point where I need to add the CAN library to the code, (including soldering up the different boards) but I keep getting a persisting error message that says 'library not found.' Even though I saved it directly in the Arduino library folder. Any help to get past this little block would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks. Once I correctly compile the code using CAN library, I can most likely make it work for our project (to activate a CAN controlled ev charger).
I fixed the problem by going into the 'Board Manager' and reinstalling an older version of ESP32 (2.0.11) instead of the current version (3.0.4, in my case). This allowed the board to recognize the CAN library. found the answer on the 'github issues' page. Thanks!
thanks for you video i watched can connection btw esp and esp32 and also between stm32 and STM32 THAT U just posted can u do between stm32 AND esp32 with can protocol I NEED IT FOR MY project
helow Ev , do you give me an idea from where I start my project w/c is helping stop collusion of two cars after proximity sensor sending a signal x- distance to clutch or brake system ( i.e, to follower car ) ? ( it most means of accident in my city ) . I am eager to listen any guideline that help me go steps .
Hi Artie, the CRX/CTX (CAN RX/TX) lines are the interface with the CAN transceiver. Connect them to any GPIO on the microcontroller. CTX allows your microcontroller to send data to the CAN transceiver, and CRX allows you to read from the CAN transceiver. Given they are simple GPIO cables that only carry around 20mA, you can use any simple jumper cable (22-28 gauge I think?). Cheers
and there is another major difference it seems to me, the UART is not addressable and can only communicate with 1 single device and the CAN protocol solves this
i have followed your instructions but esp 32 can't receive the data that esp32 send. Can you help me fix the error? please! because I am in need for a project of mine. thank you very much
I've never used this particular device, but I imagine the process is similar to reading from any CAN bus. You'll need to follow these steps, roughly speaking: 1. Create a CAN Bus Connection 2. Initialize the CAN Bus, as per the votol documentation 3. Listen or Poll: Now you can either listen for CAN frames (passive) or actively send query frames to the Votol EM-200 to request data (polling). Again, the specific CAN IDs and query commands would be found in the Votol documentation. 4. Decode the Data Hope this helps, Josh
Why do you need a transceiver? I thought esp32 comes with twai (can) in them. Are these transceiver acting like CAN devices? Like sensors or something?

Got a couple of questions... Is there any way of the recieving ESP32 to send the acknowlege bit? And how many bits (bytes) can be sent in an extended frame? Thankyou for this tutorial, I'm having fun building and learning CANbus, and this video is an excellent guide for getting started 🙂
Hello, glad you find the content helpful! The extended CAN frame holds the same amount of data as the standard frame, it just has 29 bits for the identifier. Regarding your question about ACK, the short answer is yes. The ACK bit is part of the CAN frame itself. The transmitter sends recessive (1) and any receiver can assert a dominant (0). This logic is handled by the CAN controller, which can be a hardware or software implementation depending on the CAN node. Since I showed an ESP32 acting as a CAN receiver in this video, I think it's safe to assume it implements the protocol correctly.
Not the transceiver!!! NEVER!! Your breakout board might be equipped with a 120 Ohm termination resistor. In a circuit Diagramm they should be included and be placed at the right position.

In your experience, what would you say is the advantage of CAN bus over UART or I2C?
Noise immunity and distance, I2C and UART(at least at TTL levels) are designed mainly for short distances.
Couldn't have said it better! Also transmission speed is usually faster on CAN, although there may be a few edge cases with high-speed I2C
