HOWTO use custom build of rusEfi for CAN bus sniffing
In this HOWTO I will explain how to see raw CAN message flow with less than $30 in hardware & some free software.
Step 1: shopping cart
- Get an [http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM116/SC959/SS1532/PF252419 STM32F4DISCOVERY] micro-controller board - there are 'Order Now' buttons at the bottom of the official page.
- Get an [http://www.wvshare.com/product/SN65HVD230-CAN-Board.htm SN65HVD230 CAN Board]
- Get a "OBD2 16-Pin Male to Female Diagnostic Extension Cable" on eBay
- Get a microUSB cable (one which comes with any Android phone)
Step 2: putting hardware together
Cut the OBD extension cord into two pieces, we would need the part with the male connector. Find the wires for pins #6 and #14
Run some wires from these pins to CANH (high) and CANL (low) screw terminals of the can module.
Here is how the end result should look like:
Ignore the white wire - we do not need it.
Run female-female jumper wires to connect TX on the CAN module with pin PB6 on the discovery board. RX on the module to pin PB12. GND to GND. +3v to +3v.
Hardware is ready!
Step 3: software
-
Download and install [http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF258168 STSW-LINK004 STM32 ST-LINK utility]
-
Firmware: download and unzip [http://rusefi.com/images/forum_posts/CAN/rusefi_can_sniffer.zip rusefi_can_sniffer.zip]
-
Uploading the firmware: Connect stm32f4discovery to your laptop using a mini-USB cable (one should come with the board), install driver, start St-Link Utility.
click 'Target'>'Program...'
Point the utility to the rusefi_can_sniffer.hex file and hit 'Start'
Close ST Link Utility.
- Now it's time to connect the micro USB cable. Keep miniUSB cable connected - you should have two USB cables connected. When you do this for the first time your Windows would prompt for drivers, you should download & install [http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF257938 virtual COM driver]
Once the driver is installed, you can verify serial connectivity by opening your Device Manager - we are expecting to see a Virtual COM Port.
Remember the number of the COM port.
- Download and launch [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Putty] telnet application.
Now connect the obd connector to your vehicle and you should see the CAN messages flowing in putty.
