Project Showcase 1

CanVision

Realtime vehicle telemetry, custom CAN hardware, GPS-aware map context, dashboard views, and session analytics.

Telemetry Platform

Vehicle data as an operational interface.

CanVision connects live OBD2 data, GPS context, and custom hardware into a purpose-built telemetry system for monitoring and reviewing vehicle behavior.

Live HUDMap, speed, RPM, boost, AFR, timing, load, and vehicle status.

CAN HardwarePhysical interface board connects software to vehicle systems.

AnalyticsRecorded sessions become chartable telemetry streams.

CanVision live telemetry — Live map + telemetry HUD

CanVision technical detail flow

What it does

Realtime vehicle state, visually organized.

CanVision turns OBD2 and vehicle telemetry into compact operating views designed for fast interpretation while driving, testing, or reviewing a session.

Primary telemetrySpeed, RPM, boost, AFR, coolant, timing, throttle, load, MAF, battery, and related engine data.

Map contextGPS location and track awareness sit beside the vehicle data instead of being treated as a separate system.

Data Review

Sessions become measurable records.

The analytics view gives the project a second mode: not just live display, but post-run review of sensor behavior and performance relationships.

Multi-stream graphingTelemetry traces can be compared across time to spot relationships and anomalies.

Operational memoryDrive sessions become artifacts that can be reviewed instead of disappearing after use.

Hardware Layer

Web interface backed by physical integration.

CanVision uses a Raspberry Pi HAT that bridges vehicle CAN data into the Pi, with an RP2350 handling CAN messages and serial transport.

CAN interfaceThe RP2350 reads and transmits CAN traffic, then passes structured messages to the Raspberry Pi over serial for the web telemetry layer.

Power and isolationThe board includes separated power domains, logic-level shifting, and 12V-to-5V regulation for vehicle-powered operation.

Waypoints + operational workflows

Interaction Model

Waypoints become operational objects.

Typed waypoints, line and polygon geometry, attached drawings, clickable shapes, centroid icons, visibility cascades, and detail cards make the map useful as a field workspace.

Typed objectsGeneral, overland, mining, rockhunting, and historical categories.

Drawing workflowsAttach drawings, edit shapes, and keep related field notes organized.

Data Sources

Built around layered public datasets.

Atlas combines terrain, geology, weather, land management, wilderness, recreation, hydrology, and historical mapping datasets into a unified operational mapping environment.

Engineering Philosophy

Small steps, validated in production.

The project favors live sources where possible, local processing where needed, validation gates before expansion, and practical infrastructure over speculative complexity.

Validation-firstEach phase ships something usable before the next layer is added.

Tooling realismInfrastructure pivots are made after verifying real tool capabilities.
