Highlight Experiences with CAN

These are some experiences with CAN bus Network:

Leadership

  • Authored CAN specifications document for supplier
  • Authored requirements for supplier to port device 11bit to 29 bit and SAEJ1939 compliant.
  • Created step-by-step guide on minimum compliance to SAE J1939.

Integration

  • Designed & implemented vehicle network topology  compromised of over 5 CAN networks and 25 CAN nodes
  • Troubleshoot & fix on-highway truck with experimental high-voltage system with intermittent CAN issues
  • Created busload estimation calculator to help designers size up message transmission rates
  • Experience troubleshooting based on analog signal (eye-chart) and protocol analyzer

Software

  • Supported CAN bus software library written in Assembly for 8-bit microcontroller
  • Wrote CCP (CAN Calibration Protocol) support for 8bit processor & Matlab generated embedded code

Electronics

  • Designed CAN to SPI gateway module. Designed circuit schematic, circuit board layout and wrote the firmware in C.
  • Designed a dual CAN Gateway module that off-loaded the traffic in the main vehicle CANbus
  • Designed ECUs (CAN nodes) with magnetic and optical coupling

Research

  • Evaluated bit error rate in CAN bus running on 1Mbit
  • Evaluate theoretical bit error rate of CAN physical layer running at 10Mbits
