COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course provides a complete introduction to CAN networks, their usage and functionality, as well as laboratory exercises where the task is to setup a complete CAN network for various uses such as sending messages between nodes, adding nodes for additional purposes and finally programming the CAN network to control functions such as odometer and turning signals on a real life Volvo DIM. Once completed, the user will have a deeper understanding for the CAN bus and CAN network as well as practical experience constructing and programming nodes in such networks. 

REQUIREMENTS

Basic knowledge of electronics and C-programming.
