Decoding CAN Messages using SavvyCan
In this video, I try to give a very basic introduction into how we can use SavvyCAN to:
- broadcast pre-recorded CAN logs
- isolate individual CAN messages
- diagnose the effect of each CAN message
- examine the effect of each byte of data
- determine which is the most and least significant byte of each point of data.
I also try to give a very basic explanation of why data is being presented in this way and how we can interpret it. Good luck and I hope this helps

IVT-S ISA CAN Shunt Troubleshooting - Part 2
Переглядів 1994 роки тому
Having failed to get readings from the shunt to display on the VCU WiFi module, I take a deeper dive into the ISA Demo file to see if there is a way to get readings to display on the serial monitor.

It does hurt me a little seeing them get EV converted
Hi, I'm very green to this field. How can I go about it. Kindly share some Resources to go about it. Thank you
Brilliant job
Did you ever get this setup working in your car? I have the same setup but every time I get the info from the shunt to display the temps and rpm stop working and visa versa with the temps and rpm showing the info from the shunt will not display.
Great video, thanks. I've only recently got Savvycan working so this is a big help.
Thanks for this. I'm only now getting around to connecting my IVT shunt so this has been a real help. I'll report back when I get it going.
Any help? Im trying to drive a mk4 mondeo ipc cluster over can with arduino and mcp2515 setup. Ive read somw can messages from my car but cannot get the cluster yo do anything or reapond. I have vcc, gnd and two twisted mid speed can wires connected. Is is possibke the cluster is to blame? Ive reflowed the connevtor pins with leaded solder but still not talking.
what board are you using with savvycan?
If you have audio on, he says it at about 0:40 or shortly afterwards.
It's basically an Arduino Due mounted on a board designed by Damien Maguire.
Great video! Wish this video existed years ago when I started messing with CAN. Just the right amount of info to get started hacking CAN. I would recommend this video to anyone wanting to get into it. Hope you keep creating content on this subject. Thanks
hi thanks for you video is nice how or were can l have software thanks in advance
Hi Tomas thanks for the feedback. If you Google SavvyCAN it’s free software downloadable from their website. Send me a DM if you have any issues with it
Awesome video. I am working on an LS swap in a 2010 ML350 Bluetec W164 and need to figure out a lot of CAN BUS stuff to make it work. Anything CAN BUS codes you have to reduce the mountain of work would be really helpful.
Sure thing and thanks for the feedback. I’ve found it’s easiest to get your head round this stuff by finding a very simple job (in this case moving a needle) and build up from there. If you think a follow up video might help I’m happy to take suggestions or if you’d like help with something specific just send me a DM
Have you tried using Wireshark (with CSS' CANvas-Wireshark plugin) to plot the data real-time? PlotJuggler DBC? Or is SavvyCan typically used over other open-source tools like Cangaroo , BusMaster, CANalyzat0r , CANtact-app , WhileNotInfinite/CANStream, Strym, CANdevStudio, TDahlmann/canpp , DanielMartensson/OpenSourceLogger ? I know most of the applications use SocketCan, which means they'd have to run under linux / VM. Any suggestions if using Windows? PCAN-Explorer looks perfect for real-time, except not sure if it can open an existing trc file, and have it replay the plot in the panel. Also, it is very expensive.
Cool video. SavvyCAN crash every minute, im sick of it. do you know some other tools like SavvyCAN?
Sure, glad you like the video. I haven't experienced the crashing issues with SavvyCAN myself (I'm running V208 on a laptop running Windows 10) but if you wanted to try an alternative I have previously used CANHACKER. There's an excellent video by Alibro on how to use it together with an arduino nano and MCP2515 module. Here's a link to part 2 which explains the software, part 1 explains the hardware he's using. Good luck 👍 ua-cam.com/video/wwq_yD-mth8/v-deo.html
Part numbers, although im omitting the 4pin because turns out i got the wrong one, with no slot for the retaining clip 2pin housing; 560123-0200 4pin retainer clips; 560125-0400 2pin retainer clips; 560125-0200 Crimp receptacles; 505487-8000
Very cool
Thanks!
Thank you, very good video. Tried last night to see CAN traffic and now I see I am just missing the resistor. 😅 Whee!
thank you for the video I was under the impression that the CAN Bus we want is on the black Plug B on the Lexus GS450h v2 VCU
Wait what about the retainer clips?
OK, these videos are just superb, more please, can you take it as far as showing us how to hook up some basic gauges to this shunt without having to use a web page display like Damien does, please and thank you, would love to do this in an old classic EV Conversion
does this mean we’ll get the step by step tutorial soon? please 🥺
The plan was not to modify the car so a kit could be made and put straight into the Figaro. Because I chose a Leaf-based system early on it proved too bulky so a few modifications had to be made. If I can find the right battery/motor combination in the future then yes 💯% 👍
@@projectfig-leaf451 thank you because I really want one! or if you sold fully electric figaros, that would be so good. I wonder if duncan imports would partner w you :)
Fig-leaf for the win. Congrats!
Thanks! Looking forward to being on the road as well soon!
Bravo! ⚡
Thanks!
This is so interesting. I have a figaro and I’d love to make it an EV. Can you please guide me on how it’s done ?
Thank, I don’t have any plans for the build kit yet unfortunately as the plan was not to modify the car so a kit could be made and put straight into the Figaro. Because I chose a Leaf-based system early on it proved too bulky so a few modifications have had to be made which has made this design too costly to replicate. If I can find the right battery/motor combination in the future then I fully intend to make a kit that can be installed in any Figaro.
Wish that those Figaro's were stateside! Such cool little cars.
There should be more and more in the USA now that they are older than 25yo. Something to do with import duties, so expect to see more and more in the future 👍
The biggest collection of them is in the states, can't remember the guy's name, but it's a very big collection, you can find it on UA-cam.
They are stateside! Our Figgy resides down the Cape in Massachusetts 😄
Awesome! Do you have a part number for the Glue?
I need this!! I’m finding after 130,000 and 160,000 miles my 2 figs engines are hating daily life. I’d love to see and learn more on how you’ve done this and how much the range is/speed😅
Our 2 Figaro’s suffered the same issues so I feel your pain. Hoping to put the car through its first MOT in the next month, so will know more about range/speed once this is done. One thing I know for sure is that the top speed won’t be more than 80mph in this configuration but the acceleration will be a lot more than the original.
I’m eager to see more of this conversion
I came from The Late Brake Show. When I read the name 'Fig-Leaf' I was wondering. "Isn't there a plant name fig leaf?" I searched on Google and it is, such a clever name.
Thanks! That was the inspiration behind the name.
Envious of your large garage and protected area to do a test drive. We still haven’t done a proper range test as my wife doesn’t want to deal with towing le Fig back to civilization.
The project started in a shed in a farm so I can completely relate. Having Pedro and I N Autos on board has been a massive boost for getting everything finished, their team of fabricators is amazing. Having the private industrial estate as well makes things much easier for testing and parameter setting too
Great progress! Did you leave the stock ECU intact and do the backup lights come on when you put it in reverse? That’s one bit I haven’t tackled.
Thanks @SmartHacks! The ECU Is still in place and untouched but like you, that’s still a job left for us to do. This week we’ll be tuning torque settings and implementing regenerative braking.
Excellent update, thanks James (Figaro Owners Club Founder)
Thanks Kevin. Really looking forward to testing the complete system in the Figaro soon
Great! I wondered if you had one of those VCUs with *two* can tx/rx jobbies? Looks like that's it!
Thanks Guido, it was partly that and partly that the VCU code was not looking for the correct information from the IVT-S
I'm confused. Why is the shunt not telling you anything...
After a bit of testing I was able to get the board to work by using a few lines of code from the ISA Demo file.
