I need a full-stack hardware/firmware solution that turns raw CAN traffic into immediately usable information on multiple vehicle platforms. The heart of the job is a custom, automotive-grade PCB paired with firmware that can switch between brand-specific profiles (no firmware rebuilds or reflashes once deployed) while it performs real-time signal analysis, unit conversion—think km/h instantly shown as mph—and delivers the results over existing screen or dial Hardware The board must survive the harsh 12 V system, deliver rock-solid CAN transceiver performance. I will rely on you for the full schematic, layout, BOM, Gerbers, and production-ready documentation. Firmware Running on an embedded MCU, the code has to: • Parse high-speed and low-speed CAN frames in real time • Load and apply brand profiles stored in internal flash • Execute unit conversions Brand coverage for the first release: Toyota, Nissan, Honda (including early models), Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Mazda, Audi. Deliverables 1. Schematic, PCB layout files, Gerbers, and a verified BOM 2. Compiled firmware, full source, and build instructions 3. A sample set of vehicle profiles demonstrating each supported brand 4. Brief user documentation showing how to swap profiles and perform a sample conversion 5. Full multi-vehicle support, extended testing, production optimisation, enclosure/cable design, and final production validation can be handled in the next stages.

Dear Client, This project needs someone who can make the embedded hardware stack feel robust in real vehicles and maintainable across multiple automotive platforms later. That means the CAN architecture, power protection, MCU selection, vehicle profiles, signal processing, and documentation all need to line up from the start. I can support the automotive hardware development portion from system architecture through production-ready release. My approach would be: ✅ translate vehicle requirements into a modular CAN hardware architecture ✅ design an automotive-grade PCB with proper 12 V protection, filtering, and CAN transceiver robustness ✅ prepare full schematic, PCB layout, Gerbers, BOM, and production-ready documentation The goal would be a modular automotive tool that can operate across multiple vehicle brands with stable real-time performance and a clean upgrade path for future expansion into additional platforms and enclosure integration. Two things I would confirm first: 1. Do you prefer a specific MCU family, or should architecture selection be part of the design phase? 2. Will the system output be limited to CAN interpretation only, or should it also support additional interfaces such as UART, BLE, or display integration in later phases? If you message me, I can suggest the cleanest system architecture for balancing real-time CAN reliability with flexible multi-brand profile management. Best regards, Prat PCB Must Innovations
