Hello team ! i spoke to Oliver earlier and was advised to post here.
Do you know anyone who would be interested for a summer project ? Or could you point me in the right direction/forum…
I need help to build a box that would receive CANBUS messages, convert the right data points to JSON and save it locally. The box will have an accelerometer, gps cell, 4g sim and wifi/ble. The box must be capable of sending the JSON file to a server. I don’t know where to start to find help, your help is appreciated, thank you

Hey Jean,
Welcome to our forum!
Very interesting idea for a project, this is certainly the place to get help! Which microcontroller do you intend to use in order to put this one together? Python, C, Java, and JavaScript, as well as a variety of other languages, should be suitable to implement this, although it’ll require some scripting to meet your design’s functionality. What’re your ideas to get started? Do you have any experience with BeagleBone or Raspberry Pi or another similar board?

Thank you Bryce ! I have no experience whatsoever in any of the above 
I’m building a motorcycle from scratch and between that,CAD’ing the parts on my 3d printer (i’m learning that too) and a family i have no time left…I’d love to learn, just not enough hours in a day…If someone had experience that’s local (i live in central coast), i’d love to pay for their help.
I would imagine the easiest (for a POC) would be Raspberry PI with the additional modules and some scripting in Java or Python…Pretty sure there are Can to JSON libraries available, but the data processing and join has to be scripted using timestamp i assume…Another consideration would be the frequency as it must read at least at 10 if no 100hz…processing power, and buffering is a big consideration…

You’re welcome Jean,
I’d start by running through the workshop of tutorials that I’ve linked below for you on Raspberry Pi, using an IMU and a hologram nova should work for your project, likely with a Pi 4 8 GB. The tutorials are provided entirely publicly and completely free from the team here at Core Electronics, you can run through it at any speed you’d like, and you can jump on here if you’ve got any questions. If there’s anything that we can help you with please let us know.
