CAN reception
Receives live fuel and temperature frames from other nodes on the shared vehicle network.

CAN
Dashboard
A multi-node vehicle dashboard that receives fuel and temperature data over CAN, processes messages, and turns raw bus traffic into clear real-time information.

01 / THE SYSTEM
One dashboard.
Multiple signal sources.
The system was designed around a distributed automotive communication model. Separate nodes provide fuel and temperature values while the dashboard node listens on the CAN bus, identifies relevant frames, processes incoming payloads, and updates the driver-facing display.
The project brought together communication logic, data interpretation, warning behavior, and visualization in a complete embedded workflow rather than treating CAN as an isolated protocol exercise.
Message filtering
Identifies the required messages and separates useful application data from general bus traffic.
Warning logic
Evaluates incoming values and surfaces driver warnings when defined thresholds are reached.
Live display
Presents current vehicle information visually using DocLight for fast validation and demonstration.
02 / ARCHITECTURE
Data travels with
clear ownership.
Each node has a focused responsibility. Sensor-side nodes publish their measurements, CAN provides deterministic transport, and the dashboard owns presentation and warning behavior.

DOCLIGHT DISPLAY
Temperature data follows the same bus path and is decoded by the dashboard node alongside fuel information.
