ESP32 driver library for TWAI / CAN for Adruino using ESP-IDF drivers.
Tested on ESP32 and ESP32-S3.
Library has everything inside it's header, just include that and then use ESP32Can object to send or receive CanFrame.
Here is simple example how to query and receive OBD2 PID frames:
#include <ESP32-TWAI-CAN.hpp>
// Default for ESP32
#define CAN_TX 5
#define CAN_RX 4
CanFrame rxFrame;
void sendObdFrame(uint8_t obdId) {
CanFrame obdFrame = { 0 };
obdFrame.identifier = 0x7DF; // Default OBD2 address;
obdFrame.extd = 0;
obdFrame.data_length_code = 8;
obdFrame.data[0] = 2;
obdFrame.data[1] = 1;
obdFrame.data[2] = obdId;
obdFrame.data[3] = 0xAA; // Best to use 0xAA (0b10101010) instead of 0
obdFrame.data[4] = 0xAA; // CAN works better this way as it needs
obdFrame.data[5] = 0xAA; // to avoid bit-stuffing
obdFrame.data[6] = 0xAA;
obdFrame.data[7] = 0xAA;
// Accepts both pointers and references
ESP32Can.writeFrame(obdFrame); // timeout defaults to 1 ms
}
void setup() {
// Setup serial for debbuging.
Serial.begin(115200);
// Set pins
ESP32Can.setPins(CAN_TX, CAN_RX);
// You can set custom size for the queues - those are default
ESP32Can.setRxQueueSize(5);
ESP32Can.setTxQueueSize(5);
// .setSpeed() and .begin() functions require to use TwaiSpeed enum,
// but you can easily convert it from numerical value using .convertSpeed()
ESP32Can.setSpeed(ESP32Can.convertSpeed(500));
// You can also just use .begin()..
if(ESP32Can.begin()) {
Serial.println("CAN bus started!");
} else {
Serial.println("CAN bus failed!");
}
// or override everything in one command;
// It is also safe to use .begin() without .end() as it calls it internally
if(ESP32Can.begin(ESP32Can.convertSpeed(500), CAN_TX, CAN_RX, 10, 10)) {
Serial.println("CAN bus started!");
} else {
Serial.println("CAN bus failed!");
}
}
void loop() {
static uint32_t lastStamp = 0;
uint32_t currentStamp = millis();
if(currentStamp - lastStamp > 1000) { // sends OBD2 request every second
lastStamp = currentStamp;
sendObdFrame(5); // For coolant temperature
}
// You can set custom timeout, default is 1000
if(ESP32Can.readFrame(rxFrame, 1000)) {
// Comment out if too many requests
Serial.printf("Received frame: %03X \r\n", rxFrame.identifier);
if(rxFrame.identifier == 0x7E8) { // Standard OBD2 frame responce ID
Serial.printf("Collant temp: %3d°C \r\n", rxFrame.data[3] - 40); // Convert to °C
}
}
}You can also setup your own masks and configurations:
// Everything is defaulted so you can just call .begin() or .begin(TwaiSpeed)
// Calling begin() to change speed works, it will disable current driver first
bool begin(TwaiSpeed twaiSpeed = TWAI_SPEED_500KBPS,
int8_t txPin = -1, int8_t rxPin = -1,
uint16_t txQueue = 0xFFFF, uint16_t rxQueue = 0xFFFF,
