CanBus

I got an OBD2 extension cable with 90 degree ends to make a low profile connection. I cut the cable in half. (Photo!) Now I have a connector with a 12" cable ready to use.

Termination: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/470382/can-bus-termination-resistors-for-can-logger-device

I don't think I need termination as long as my cable is less than 0.5m long. (It was 18" but I snipped it down to be on the safe side.)

14 -- CANL -- Green

15 -- Blue

16 -- 12V always on -- Brown

The only ones that matter to me are CANH and CANL. I can use GND and 12V to power my hardware.

I intend trying this one first because it's got a more commonly used chip on it.
