HONDA service
manual example pages. This Pdf
will give you some ideas on documenting
your drawings.
-
See my note on ESP32 and CANBUS
under Telemetry & Communication
(right hand column).
-
Added sample pages from Honda
Service manual so the teams can see
how to document their drawings. Look
under EV Resources.
-
Added getting started with Multisim

Capacitive Proximity Sensors can be
used to detect levels of liquid in a container. I have
these on the outside of my RV holding tanks to detect
how full waste water tanks are. This info is sent to the
LCD controller screen via CANBUS.

Telemetry &
Communication Protocols |
- Serial
Communication
-
Adafruit
900MHz LoRa (Long Range) Radios
- CAN-BUS & ESP32 Controllers
-
Layout
- Each node must be within 30cm of the bus
cable.
- 1mb/sec is good for up to 40 meters.
- Not sll ESP32's support CANBUS but All
ESP32-WROOM chips do. They have an integrated Can
controller but DO NOT HAVE A TRANSCEIVER.
As such, we do not need SPI and the MCP2515 board.
We can use a
TJA1050 Transceiver
module and connect UTP wires between the MCU and
TJA1050!!
