Tidi0x Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) I am looking to build a canbus for my gtrlink for my wideband. I am most likely going to create the twisted pair and put the 120r resistor at the end of the line, but I wanted to confirm that if I wanted to I could loop the can1 to can2 instead of running the resistor. Also I notice the resistor needs to be a minimum of 1/4 watt is there a maximum? or suggested way wattage to use?

Adamw Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 In theory looping it back to CAN 2 would work, but it is not something I would do. Crimp a resistor into the plug for your wideband like below would be how I normally do it. Resistor wattage doesnt really matter but 1/6, 1/4 or 1/2W would be the common easy to get options, above that they are starting to get quite big. dx4picco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
