I’m currently setting up this community forum to create a place where engineers, developers, and J1939 enthusiasts can ask questions, exchange ideas, share experiences, and discuss everything related to SAE J1939, embedded development, the JCOM1939 Monitor software, and the upcoming J1939 Development for Embedded Systems book.
The forum is still a work in progress, so please bear with me while I organize the discussion categories and add the initial content. This will take a little time, but my goal is to build a valuable technical resource where both beginners and experienced developers can find answers and contribute their own knowledge.
I invite you to check back regularly. Once everything is in place, I hope you’ll join the discussions, ask questions, share your projects, and help make this community a useful resource for everyone working with SAE J1939.

Forum Rules
Welcome to the J1939 Community! This forum was created to bring together engineers, developers, technicians, and enthusiasts who work with SAE J1939, CAN networking, embedded systems, and related technologies. The goal is to build a professional knowledge base where members can exchange ideas, solve problems, and learn from one another.
To keep the community valuable for everyone, please follow these guidelines:
1. Be Professional and Respectful
Treat all members with courtesy and respect. Healthy technical discussions and differing opinions are welcome, but personal attacks, offensive language, or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
2. Stay on Topic
Please keep discussions focused on SAE J1939, CAN bus technology, embedded development, the JCOM1939 Monitor software, ARD1939, and closely related engineering topics.
3. Search Before Posting
Many questions have already been discussed. A quick search may provide an immediate answer and help keep the forum organized.
4. No Spam or Advertising
Do not post unsolicited advertisements, promotional content, affiliate links, or unrelated commercial messages. Links to relevant technical resources are welcome when they contribute to the discussion.
5. Respect Intellectual Property
Do not post copyrighted material, confidential documents, or proprietary information without the appropriate permission.
6. This Is Not an Engineering Service
This community is intended to encourage the exchange of technical knowledge and practical experience. While members—including myself—may offer suggestions and guidance, this forum is not intended to provide free engineering, consulting, custom software development, product design, or troubleshooting services for commercial projects. Please keep questions broad enough that the answers will benefit other members as well.
7. Help Build the Community
Whether you are asking your first question or sharing years of experience, every constructive contribution helps make this community a valuable resource for engineers worldwide.
Thank you for being part of the J1939 Community. I hope you enjoy the discussions and find the forum both informative and helpful.
