Whether you are just getting started with SAE J1939 or have years of experience developing embedded systems, this community is designed to be a place where engineers help engineers.
The J1939 Community is a growing technical forum dedicated to the practical implementation of SAE J1939. Here you can ask questions, share your projects, discuss programming techniques, and exchange ideas with developers working on real-world applications.

Reading Is Open to Everyone
You do not need an account to browse the forum. All technical discussions are publicly available, making the community a valuable knowledge base for anyone working with SAE J1939.
Registration is only required if you would like to participate in discussions or receive notifications about new topics and updates.
Community Guidelines
To keep the community informative and enjoyable for everyone, please follow a few simple rules:
- Be respectful and courteous.
- Keep discussions related to SAE J1939, CAN networking, embedded systems, or closely related topics.
- Search the forum before posting a new question.
- Do not post spam or commercial advertisements.
- Respect copyrights and intellectual property.
- Help others whenever you can—today’s beginner may be tomorrow’s expert.
A Note About Technical Support
The J1939 Community is intended to be a place where engineers and developers can exchange knowledge, ask questions, and help one another. While I will participate in discussions whenever time permits, this forum is not intended to provide free engineering or consulting services.
If your project requires detailed design work, custom software development, troubleshooting of proprietary systems, or one-on-one engineering assistance, those requests fall outside the scope of this community.
Please keep your questions focused on topics that can benefit the community as a whole. Chances are that if you have a question, someone else has the same one—and the answer may help many others in the future.
Create Your Free Account
Registration takes less than a minute and is completely free.
Once you’ve created your account, you’ll be able to participate in discussions, subscribe to topics, and become part of a growing community dedicated to practical SAE J1939 development.
I look forward to welcoming you to the J1939 Community.
