Course Description

CAN Bus stands for "Controller Area Network" Bus.
CAN-bus is one of those technologies that everyone experiences every day, without actually knowing about it. Because it is so widely used, in everything from cars and trucks through to boats, factories and even building management systems, the chances of interacting with it on a daily basis are pretty high.
CAN is a vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other in applications without a host computer. It is a message-based protocol, designed originally for multiplex electrical wiring within automobiles, but is also used in many other contexts.
You should get to know this protocol as it will allow you to expand your expertise and opportunities in design and building equipment in the following areas:
Automotive, Medical, Military, Industrial Machines, Aviation, etc.
There is quite a bit of info on CAN Bus available on the Internet, but not much showing CAN Bus communications in a very practical way. And that's what I am going to do in the course.
At the end of my course, you are not only going to understand the CAN Bus theory but Iam going to show you how to use CAN Bus hardware and software in my usual practical approach.

I have been working in the fields of Software Development, Software Systems Integration and Process Automation since 1996. In 2003, I stepped out on my own and started working for myself providing software development and systems integration services to small and medium businesses.
I am also associated with a great company called Mora Systems Limited that under the leadership of it's Managing Director has produced innovative and outstanding products and services in the fields of GIS and Cellular based SCADA.
Teaching has always been a passion for me. I have taught at the tertiary level for many years on the subjects of programming, control systems as well as systems integration. In the last few years I found myself incorporating more and more videos into the curriculum with amazing results.
When I heard of uDemy I just could not help but sign up. With teaching in a classroom, you can reach only so many students, but with uDemy you can reach the world! I plan to publish and promote as many courses as I possibly can on the uDemy platform.

No practical knowledge, board used is also not useful. It is a waste of money for me. Didn't give contact details also to contact if we are having any doubt.

By Jessica Villella on 11/8/2020

great course, very clear

By Rejoy Mendez on 9/18/2020

The content explanation was so cool !, Easy to grab the concept of CAN

By Ebrahim Shah on 9/15/2020

A really nice introduction to CAN for people who know it but want to learn more within a day or two. Very useful for talking points in interviews.

By Deep Shah on 9/13/2020

The course was a good start to understand the basics of CAN. A small suggestion would be to add a little more content and get it up to an intermediate level, like add a section on one of the protocols.

By Vishwas Bharathi on 9/8/2020

SUPERB! This was what i was looking for. I am happy that i found this course and subscribed.
I am a mech engineer associated with systems that do have CAN. It was always a mystery to me. Now i have an appreciation and confidence of understanding and learning more. I am extremely happy.Thanks to Udemy too.
