I have netduino experience on 1,Plus1 and Plus2 and have some questions on a future project. I'd like to stay with the whole netduino / VS platform, (makes it very easy for me) but am looking to develop two projects. One will consume data from two CAN bus systems in my car. The other would be a CAN device simulator that could be used during development/testing.

 

I have a CAN shield but have not assembled it or worked with it on netduino yet.

 

My question is what you think would be a good way to proceed? Should I take the existing stuff I have and get it working? (i don't need a plus in the car, but a bluetooth would be nice)

 

Or, would something like the GO be a better platform for this? And, is there a module for the GO that already does the CAN protocol?

 

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

In my opinion. With the netduino your best options is to use a MCP2515 SPI=> CAN (which is what the shield is). I really really really wish someone would write and post up a Native CAN Driver for the netduino. I would PAY someone to do it out of my own pocket.

 

The bad thing about the SPI=>CAN is that it is slow, so for doing fast automotive module programming, it wont cut the cheese... However, if your just reading data, or querying OBD then you wont have a problem. 

 

Cheers,

-Matt

Thanks. It is for an automotive project, and I was already thinking of some kind of onboard computer, so will probably go with a regular windows application for this. Thanks.
