This is snark - not helpful, just amusing(?). I love the fifth image where they convert the board length from 78mm to 30.7 inches. Our American compatriots who can't read metric are going to be expecting the delivered board to be bigger than a letter size sheet of paper. -- Giles https://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com

Does this count? https://elmwoodelectronics.ca/products/13262 https://elmwoodelectronics.ca/products/12751 647 phone number, so sounds fairly local. -- Len Sorensen
The can bus one does, other than having a 9pin connector which I could remove. The GPS is very expensive. Thanks Dave Cramer On Fri, 14 May 2021 at 14:42, Lennart Sorensen <lsorense@csclub.uwaterloo.ca> wrote:

YesL it's an ancient SiRF Star IV. There are newer, cheaper and more accurate models, but it was the first GPS to appear regularly in hobby projects at a then-reasonable price. Whether they use the same connector, though ... Stewart

Yes, Elmwood Electronics has the SparkFun CAN-BUS Shield in stock — https://elmwoodelectronics.ca/products/13262 He's currently out of stock of the 9-pin to OBD-II cable it uses, though: https://elmwoodelectronics.ca/products/10087

It has! Or at least, an EM506 header. Which might be getting a bit aged for current GPS support. Craig, who owns Elmwood, is a huge car-hacking nerd. It's probably worth asking him what's the best product to do «specific CAN-BUS-related thing». Arduino's somewhat limited compared to newer platforms, but if it's what you've got ... (he might also have a solution for the out-of-stock cable, too) Craig used to sell Carloop products - https://store.carloop.io/ - but I don't see them on his site any more. They plugged straight into your OBD-II port and had wifi/GPS/cell data options. cheers, Stewart
