#CANPico

2025-11-12

Earlier today I taught my students how to pull a VIN from a Toyota Camry’s #OBD2 port, using #MicroPython and the #CANPico board made by @kentindell.

Fun was had by all. Students were very impressed. Their next assignment will be to pick any other available data from the car and pull that.

Success. I got my two #CANPico boards to communicate with each other using #MicroPython. The logic analyzer was able to pick up the data from the wire. Thanks, @kentindell for an awesome framework. Next up: hooking everything up to a Toyota Camry.

A MacBook Pro with the DSView logic analyzer open. The analyzer shows a captured CAN frame. There are two Raspberry Pi Picos with CANPico boards, connected by a twisted-pair CAN bus cable. A DreamSourceLabs logic analyzer is connected to one of them.

@CliffWade I'll be playing around with all the goodies I ordered toward the end of the semester. Got myself a couple of #CANPico boards made by @kentindell as well as the logic analyzer he recommended and will try to get some CAN bus messages across those devices. And I guess I'll start designing next semester's new classes on embedded applications (which will include CAN) and signals and systems. All in all, it will be a fun day, I think.
