CanBus for Beginners - Super Simple

Project Three - Steer the Massey Ferguson or Danfoss PVED-CL around the yard

Ok, this project is for the Massey Ferguson system. When Massey Ferguson sell a steer ready tractor they use a standard Danfoss PVED-CL steering system, then you can use the Massey branded navigation software or any other 3rd party navigation to send the curve commands Via CAN-BUS.

Step One:
Load the Massey Ferguson navigation program onto the Arduino Uno, with CAN-BUS shield, with a pot connected to A0, and a switch connected to A1-GND.

Step Two:
Load the “show all CAN messages” program onto a second Arduino UNO with a CAN-BUS shield.

Step Three:
Add the CAN wires so you have a setup like this picture, then open the serial monitor on each arduino to test. All this can be done and tested on the bench before needing a tractor.

Step Four
When all the above steps (one to three) work on the bench, Load the “Massey CAN DisplayAC” program onto the second Arduino UNO with a CAN-BUS shield. Watch this video below and its time for a test in the Yard.
