Hi everyone. I'm a final year engineering student doing a project on CAN controllers and their interfacing. The problem is, we're really new to this field and haven't been able to grasp what we're supposed to do.
The objective of our project goes -
To design and develop a CAN bus based on a Real Time Analysis Station using Embedded Controllers. The scope of the project involves design, development, testing, integration and interfacing of the hardware / software with CAN bus system for analyzing applications in the real time scenario of ground based aircraft systems.
And to top it our assigned guide isn't of much help either. If you guys could shed some light on how we're supposed to go about doing this project we'd be really grateful. Our guide says the device (controller or whatever) we'll be using to interface our digital device with CAN bus will have to take care of protocol conversion, voltage conversions etc. But won't our CAN controller be taking care of all that... In that case.. What in the world are we supposed to do!!!. Please do reply with any suggestions you might have. They'd be of great help to us.
