Hi I am an embedded systems engineer with over 12 years of experience in automotive electronics, CAN bus firmware, vehicle power protection, and compact PCB design for noisy environments. This module is a good fit for my background because it needs both a reliable electrical design and careful bus behavior, not just a simple unit conversion. My preferred approach would be an STM32 or Microchip CAN-capable MCU with an automotive-grade CAN transceiver, protected vehicle supply input, proper filtering/TVS protection, and firmware written in C using STM32CubeIDE or MPLAB depending on the final MCU choice. I can design the schematic, PCB, BOM, and firmware so it listens for the documented speed frame/PID, applies the km/h to mph conversion with the correct scaling, and transmits the required frame without affecting other CAN traffic. I can also prepare bench-test notes using your CAN logs, including before/after frame values and basic stress checks. A few details I would confirm first are CAN speed, 11/29-bit IDs, whether the original km/h frame should be blocked or left present, and any enclosure/connector constraints. Please contact me to discuss details.

As an electronics engineer with extensive experience in designing, developing, and testing electrical systems, I am the perfect fit for your CAN bus converter project. My skills cover everything you need from hardware design to software programming. During my career, I've worked on a range of automotive projects dealing with various types of motor control, power electronics and embedded systems applications. I'm well versed in Arduino programming and proficient in using Altium and Easyeda for schematic design and PCB layout. This makes me capable of delivering not only a compact and sturdy hardware design that can handle automotive noise and extreme temperature ranges but also a meticulously programmed firmware that operates flawlessly by converting the speed PID from km/h to mph without impairing other traffic on the CAN bus. In terms of microcontroller preference, I have hands-on experience with PIC18, PIC24, PIC30, dsPIC, MSP430, STM32 among others. With your vehicle's CAN documentation and log files as reference material for the project, I assure you that my exemplary skills will make this project a success. Finally, I'll gladly provide you with all necessary deliverables; design files (schematic, PCB layout, BOM), complete source code as well as a comprehensive test report to validate the performance of the converter on your bench rig.

Hello, This is a straightforward CAN-bus gateway project and aligns well with my experience in automotive electronics, embedded firmware, and vehicle communication systems. My preferred approach would be an STM32 or ESP32 controller paired with an automotive-grade CAN transceiver. The firmware would monitor the target speed message, apply the km/h-to-mph conversion with the required scaling and resolution, and transmit the modified frame while preserving overall bus integrity and timing. The hardware would include automotive power protection (load-dump, reverse polarity, TVS protection, filtering), robust CAN interfaces, and a compact PCB suitable for in-vehicle installation. Deliverables would include schematic, PCB layout, BOM, Gerbers, fully commented firmware source code, and a bench-validation report using your CAN logs and documentation. Once I review the CAN database/logs and identify whether the speed data is standard OBD-II, proprietary CAN, or gateway-translated, I can finalize the architecture and development timeline.

Hi there, I’ve carefully read your project description, and I can help design and develop the CAN bus speed-signal converter from schematic through PCB, firmware, and bench validation. I’m Samuel Tshibangu, a mechatronics engineer with hands-on experience in embedded hardware, automotive electronics, CAN bus communication, MCU firmware, power protection, PCB design, and signal conversion logic. I can design a compact automotive-ready module, implement firmware to read the documented speed frame, convert km/h to mph accurately, and transmit the corrected CAN message without disturbing other traffic. I can deliver the schematic, PCB layout, BOM, Gerbers, complete commented firmware source, and a short bench test report using your CAN documentation and log files. Feel free to send me a message with the CAN logs, target vehicle documentation, and preferred MCU/toolchain, and I can start right away. Best regards, Samuel Tshibangu

Hello, I can design and develop your CAN bus km/h-to-mph converter from hardware schematic through verified firmware. I have experience with automotive electrical systems, CAN communication, embedded firmware, PCB design, and bench validation, so I can build a compact in-line module that is stable, noise-tolerant, and ready for vehicle-style testing. My preferred approach is to use an STM32 or NXP automotive-grade MCU with a CAN/CAN-FD capable transceiver, protected power input, TVS/ESD protection, reverse-polarity protection, and proper filtering for automotive supply noise. On the firmware side, I will parse the provided CAN documentation/logs, identify the speed frame/PID, convert km/h to mph with correct scaling and resolution, and re-transmit only the required modified frame without affecting unrelated bus traffic. Deliverables will include schematic, PCB layout, BOM, firmware source code with comments, flashing instructions, and a short bench test report showing correct conversion using your sample logs or CAN test rig. I can work with KiCad/Altium for PCB and STM32CubeIDE or NXP S32 Design Studio depending on your preferred MCU/toolchain. A few questions: 1. What vehicle make/model/year and CAN speed are you targeting? 2. Do you need prototype PCB fabrication support, or only design files and firmware? Best regards, Asif Baloch

As an experienced automation engineer with a strong understanding of electrical systems, I believe I am an excellent match for your CAN Bus Converter project. Throughout my career, I've designed, developed, and implemented various automation projects, including wastewater and water treatment plants, which required deep dependencies on electrical systems and programming robust control algorithms. The tools of the trade for me have been Siemens TIA Portal program and the Simatic Manager program to develop firmware and SIEMENS WinCC SCADA program for system monitoring - skills that can easily transfer over to your project. Moreover, I'm accustomed to not only handling the hardware aspect but also working on software programming and running thorough tests to ensure optimal functionality - vital aspects you've listed in your description. My experience includes deployment of programmable logic controllers (PLC) such as Delta PLC and ABB PLC in process and energy automation projects. I have a great understanding of how to tackle automotive noise, temperature ranges, along with implementing accurate conversions.

@Aaleen110

I understand you need a compact CAN bus module to intercept the kilometer-per-hour speed signal and convert it to miles per hour. I've successfully developed similar automotive embedded systems, including a real-time data acquisition module for vehicle diagnostics that met stringent environmental and electrical noise standards. I will design a custom PCB using KiCad, ensuring it's small form factor and suitable for in-line wiring. The firmware will be written in C, utilizing the STM32 HAL library and the CAN driver for the chosen microcontroller, to listen for your specific CAN ID, perform the conversion, and transmit the new MPH message. What is the specific CAN ID and data format for the incoming km/h speed signal? Ready to start as soon as you confirm scope.

I specialize in system design, programming, integration, and troubleshooting for automotive Electronics projects like CAN bus converters. PLC programming and configuration (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Schneider, etc.) maps well to robust embedded firmware toolchains for vehicle ECUs. Design and implementation of control logic and HMI interfaces will become precise km/h-to-mph CAN frame logic with correct resolution. Integration with sensors, actuators, and other industrial equipment includes CAN transceivers, protected vehicle power, and Electrical Engineering noise tolerance. System testing, debugging, and optimization will use your CAN logs, bench rig validation, and Signal Processing checks for reliable speed conversion. Could you please share the CAN speed frame ID, byte layout, scaling, and whether the converted mph frame should replace or coexist with the original km/h message? Documentation, including electrical schematics, PLC logic diagrams, and user manuals will cover schematic, PCB layout, BOM, source comments, and test report. On-site support and commissioning (if required) can be replaced with remote bench bring-up guidance for flashing and verification. - Anastasiia
