Jeep canbus: common questions
What microcontroller does the Jeep canbus use?
The Jeep canbus is built around the ATmega328PB-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Jeep canbus PCB?
The Jeep canbus measures 67.3 × 54 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Jeep canbus?
48 components, from 27 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Jeep canbus design files?
From the latonita/jeep-canbus repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Jeep canbus design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which latonita chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Jeep canbus without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
