I have the PSoC5LP and the CAN/LIN kit trying to work on a way to connect and get data from my truck.
Following some of the examples on setting them up to do so, found that in order to test and debug I need 2 CAN-BUS devices in order to test comm between them.
I don't want to have to buy another 5LP kit and CAN/LIN kit to do the testing and so on.
So my question is, I have the PSoC4 pioneer kit already, can I get either of the CAN shields from either location and setup the pioneer with it and have my 2nd CAN device for testing?
Or is there any other options? Would it be easier to get the sparkfun part and an Arduino Uno R3 and build one that way?
Any help would be great, my goal is to connect to the OBDII port in my truck and do some real time data logging that I can eventually build an app against.
What I have already:
PSoC5LP http://www.cypress.com/?rid=51577
CAN/LIN Expansion Kit http://www.cypress.com/?rid=40215
OBDII to DB9 Cable https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10087
Do I need any of these:
Arduino Uno https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11021
CAN-BUS Shield https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10039
or
CAN-BUS Shield http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/canbus-shield-p-1240.html
Or can I just connect to the truck with the cable to the PSoC5LP and use it as my test? But will that cause any issues or problems?
