As automobile development has continued apace, some new highly complex and critical subsystems have emerged. Simple networks such as CAN Bus and LIN Bus have long handled communications among controllers and electromechanical automotive systems, but an enhanced communication bus eventually became necessary to handle higher-bandwidth connections. Accordingly, a consortium developed standards for what came to […]

Exploring the LIN bus with an oscilloscope
The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Bus was created to augment CAN Bus, at first in automotive applications and later for industrial use. CAN Bus was developed by Bosch to serialize communication among automotive electrical systems. It is a good candidate where high-bandwidth and advanced error-handling is needed as in automotive engines, where transmission and braking […]
Exploring the CANbus with an oscilloscope
The Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus was introduced in 1983 by Robert Bosch GmbH, a multinational engineering and electronics company headquartered in Germany. CAN Bus was originally designed to let microcontrollers and devices communicate without a host computer. It was primarily intended for automotive applications but is currently used additionally in elevators, video games, human […]
