Ford Mustang (S550) CAN Bus Research & Scripts

===

This repo serves as a compendium of scripts and hours of trial/error research to try and map the S550 canbus, specifically towards the IPC.

Main Scripts

* s550_cluster.py  - Currently supports Forza Horizon 5, American Truck Simulator & Euro Truck Simulator 2 in an alpha state. Allows that game to interface with the cluster. See s550_data.py for the model in translating other game data

    * [Video Demonstration](https://youtu.be/KNyn1v3_cwc)

* interactive_brute_force.py - This script allows you to use the up,down,left,right,enter keys to control the menu on the cluster

    * arrows.py and brute_force.py were merged into a single interactive script

    * [Video Demonstration](https://youtu.be/OzUs28GIq0A)

Supporting Scripts

* ports.py - Script that was pulled from StackOverflow to show which port the USB-to-CAN interface is running on. Required to communicate with the IPC

* decode_can_log.py - Takes a CANdump from the can folder and converts the b64 data string to a more easily readable byte array

* replay.py - Attempt to replay data from the CANdump at a slower pace to determine functionality (doesn't quite work)

Requirements:

* USB-to-CAN adapter. I am using a [CANable](https://openlightlabs.com/collections/frontpage/products/canable-0-4)

* Wires / [Breadboard Wires](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EV70C78)

* 12v power supply (I had one laying around with a 5.5mm x 2.1mm plug barrel on the end)

    * You can wire one of the female connectors from [here](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079RBL339) to allow for easy plug and play.

* S550 Cluster (you can find them for under $100 on eBay.)

    * I am unsure of the digital clusters functionality, some data should be shared so it should work in an alpha state.

* Python, PIP, & Packages in the requirements.txt file

Booting Your Device:

* APIM / SYNC2 / SYNC3

    * Pin 1 - 12V

    * Pin 37 - Ground

    * Pin 19 - HSCAN High (goes to USB-to-CAN adapter)

    * Pin 20 - HSCAN Low (goes to USB-to-CAN adapter)

* Instrument Cluster

    * Pin 8 - 12V

    * Pin 3 - Ground

    * Pin 12 - HSCAN High (goes to USB-to-CAN adapter)

    * Pin 13 - HSCAN Low (goes to USB-to-CAN adapter)
