MeatPi WiCAN ESP32-C3 CAN Adapters
MeatPi WiCAN ESP32-C3 CAN Adapters are simple, ready-to-use solutions for CAN-bus development and car hacking. These adapters provide vehicle-diagnostic APIs and libraries in various languages and for various operating systems. The WiCAN adapters' original firmware can use Wi-Fi® or BLE to interface directly with RealDash, which allows the creation of custom dashboards with stunning graphics. These adapters are available in two form factors, such as OBD-II and standard USB-CAN. The WiCAN adapters feature a power-saving mode that detects when the voltage drops below 13V or another preset value. When this power-saving mode is engaged, WiCAN can enter sleep mode, reducing current consumption to below 1mA. The WiCAN adapters are available for Android, iOS, and Windows 10.
Features
- Consumes less than 1mA in battery-saving mode
- 7.5V to 36V screw-terminal connector input voltage range
- Supports firmware updates over Wi-Fi®
- Supports CAN 2.0 A/B up to 1Mbit/s
- Works with RealDash (based on "realdash 66")
- Supports SocketCAN and works with BUSMaster
- Supports TCP and UDP
- Wi-Fi can be used in AP or station mode
- Wi-Fi and CAN settings are configurable through a web interface
- Provides diode protection for the USB port
WiCAN-OBD
The WiCAN-OBD will be of great interest to car enthusiasts and tinkers who want to modernize or customize car head-unit displays using RealDash. This device features MQTT battery alerts that monitor battery voltage and send an alert if it drops below a set threshold.
WiCAN-USB
The WiCAN-USB can be powered via USB or a screw-terminal connector and supports an extended voltage range up to 36V. This device comes in handy for remotely monitoring 12V or 24V trucks from the comfort of a desk by configuring it to connect to Wi-Fi®. The WiCAN-USB can also serve as a USB-to-CAN adapter when Wi-Fi connectivity is unavailable or a hardwired connection is required.
