# Implementing NMEA 2000 Temperature Telemetry on STM32F334

This article documents the development of a **dual-message CAN bus system** implementing NMEA 2000 compliance for industrial temperature monitoring on an STM32F334C8T6 microcontroller.

## Project Evolution: v0.0.1 → v0.0.3

### v0.0.1: Initial CAN Implementation
Started with basic CAN transmission at 250 kbps, sending a simple DEADBEEF test pattern to validate hardware and toolchain.

### v0.0.2: Temperature Sensor Integration
Integrated STM32's internal ADC temperature sensor with factory calibration, combining DEADBEEF pattern and temperature data in a single message.

### v0.0.3: NMEA 2000 Compliance
Separated messages into two distinct protocols:
- **A1 Message**: High-frequency heartbeat (30 Hz)
- **T1 Message**: NMEA 2000 compliant temperature telemetry (1 Hz)

---

## NMEA 2000 Protocol Implementation

### Why NMEA 2000?
NMEA 2000 is the industry standard for marine and industrial sensor networks, providing:
- **Interoperability**: Works with standard displays and logging equipment
- **Structured data**: Well-defined Parameter Group Numbers (PGNs)
- **Robust networking**: Based on CAN bus with 29-bit Extended IDs

### PGN 130312: Temperature Standard

The T1 message implements **PGN 130312 - Temperature**, a standardized format for temperature telemetry:

```
Extended 29-bit CAN ID: 0x19FD0801

Bit Structure:
  Bits 26-28: Priority = 6 (low priority for slow-changing data)
  Bit 25:     Reserved = 0
  Bit 24:     Data Page = 1
  Bits 16-23: PDU Format = 0xFD
  Bits 8-15:  PDU Specific = 0x08
  Bits 0-7:   Source Address = 0x01 (device address)
  
PGN Calculation:
  PGN = (Data Page << 16) | (PDU Format << 8) | PDU Specific
  PGN = (1 << 16) | (0xFD << 8) | 0x08 = 130312
```

### Message Format

**T1 Data Payload (8 bytes):**
```
Byte 0: SID (Sequence ID) - Increments with each message
Byte 1: Temperature Instance (0 = single sensor)
Byte 2: Temperature Source (1 = Inside Temperature)
Byte 3-4: Temperature in Kelvin × 100 (uint16, little-endian)
Byte 5-7: Reserved (0xFF)
```

**Example CAN Message:**
```
slcan0  19FD0801  [8]  09 00 01 3B 72 FF FF FF

Decoding:
  SID: 0x09 (9)
  Instance: 0x00 (single sensor)
  Source: 0x01 (inside temperature)
  Temperature: 0x723B = 29243
    → Kelvin = 29243 / 100 = 292.43K
    → Celsius = 292.43 - 273.15 = 19.28°C
```

---

## Message Architecture

### A1 Message: High-Frequency Heartbeat
- **CAN ID**: 0x0A1 (Standard 11-bit)
- **Rate**: 30 Hz (33ms period)
- **Payload**: `DE AD BE EF 00 00 00 00`
- **Purpose**: Fast status indication and bus presence

### T1 Message: Temperature Telemetry
- **CAN ID**: 0x19FD0801 (Extended 29-bit)
- **Rate**: 1 Hz
- **Payload**: NMEA 2000 PGN 130312 format
- **Purpose**: Industrial-standard temperature reporting

---

## Implementation Details

### Temperature Sensor
STM32F334's internal temperature sensor (ADC1_IN16) with factory calibration:
```c
// Factory calibration values at 30°C and 110°C
uint16_t *TS_CAL1 = (uint16_t*)0x1FFFF7B8;
uint16_t *TS_CAL2 = (uint16_t*)0x1FFFF7C2;

// Linear interpolation
float tempCelsius = 30.0f + (rawADC - *TS_CAL1) * 
                    (110.0f - 30.0f) / (*TS_CAL2 - *TS_CAL1);
```

### Main Loop Timing
```c
while (1) {
  HAL_Delay(33U);  // 30Hz base rate
  
  // A1: Send every cycle (30 Hz)
  uint8_t a1Data[8] = {0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};
  HAL_CAN_AddTxMessage(&hcan, &txHeaderA1, a1Data, &canMailbox);
  
  // T1: Send every 30 cycles (1 Hz)
  if (++t1Counter >= 30) {
    t1Counter = 0;
    uint16_t tempKelvin = (uint16_t)((tempCelsius + 273.15f) * 100.0f);
    uint8_t t1Data[8] = {
      nmea2000_sid++,         // SID
      0x00,                   // Instance
      0x01,                   // Source (Inside)
      (uint8_t)(tempKelvin),  // Temp low byte
      (uint8_t)(tempKelvin >> 8), // Temp high byte
      0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF        // Reserved
    };
    HAL_CAN_AddTxMessage(&hcan, &txHeaderT1, t1Data, &canMailbox);
  }
}
```

---

## Hardware Validation

Using SocketCAN on Linux with SLCAN adapter:

```bash
candump slcan0

# Output showing both messages:
slcan0  0A1   [8]  DE AD BE EF 00 00 00 00  # A1 @ 30Hz
slcan0  0A1   [8]  DE AD BE EF 00 00 00 00
...
slcan0  19FD0801  [8]  09 00 01 3B 72 FF FF FF  # T1 @ 1Hz (19.28°C)
```

---

## Design Decisions

### Priority Level 6
Chose **priority 6 (low)** for temperature data because:
- Temperature changes slowly (not time-critical)
- 1 Hz update rate is sufficient
- Higher priority reserved for critical control messages

### Source Address 0x01
Used **source address 0x01** (instead of 0x00) because:
- 0x00 can cause conflicts in multi-device networks
- Each device should have a unique address (0-251 range)
- Enables proper device identification on NMEA 2000 networks

### Temperature Source = 1 (Inside Temperature)
Best match for MCU internal temperature among NMEA 2000 options:
- Represents the internal environment of the device
- Alternative could be Source 3 (Engine Room) for electronics enclosures

---

## Toolchain

- **Microcontroller**: STM32F334C8T6 (ARM Cortex-M4, 64KB Flash)
- **Compiler**: arm-none-eabi-gcc 13.2.1
- **Debugger/Programmer**: st-flash 1.8.0 (STLink v2)
- **CAN Interface**: SLCAN adapter for testing
- **Build System**: GNU Make
- **Version Control**: Git with semantic versioning

---

## Results

Successfully implemented a production-ready dual-message CAN system:

✅ **A1 heartbeat** transmitting at 30 Hz  
✅ **T1 NMEA 2000** temperature at 1 Hz  
✅ Temperature accuracy: ±1°C (factory calibrated)  
✅ Binary size: 8,672 bytes (13% of 64KB flash)  
✅ NMEA 2000 PGN 130312 compliant  
✅ Hardware validated on CAN bus

---

## Future Enhancements

- Implement CAN receive for bidirectional communication
- Add additional NMEA 2000 PGNs (voltage, current, etc.)
- Implement address claiming for dynamic addressing
- Add error handling for CAN bus-off states
- Power consumption optimization (sleep modes)

   sudo systemctl restart sshd
   ```

### Step 2: Raspberry Pi Setup

1. **SSH into your Raspberry Pi:**
   ```bash
   ssh pi@RASPBERRY_PI_IP
   ```

2. **Generate SSH key (if not exists):**
   ```bash
   ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -N ""
   ```

3. **Display public key:**
   ```bash
   cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
   ```

4. **Copy this key to VPS** (from RPi):
   ```bash
   ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub rpi-tunnel@YOUR_VPS_IP
   ```
   
   Or manually: Copy the output and add it to `/home/rpi-tunnel/.ssh/authorized_keys` on VPS

5. **Test connection:**
   ```bash
   ssh rpi-tunnel@YOUR_VPS_IP
   ```
   (Should connect without password, then exit)

6. **Create tunnel script:**
   ```bash
   nano ~/rpi-tunnel.sh
   ```
   
   Paste:
   ```bash
   #!/bin/bash
   VPS_IP="YOUR_VPS_IP"
   VPS_USER="rpi-tunnel"
   REMOTE_PORT=2222
   LOCAL_PORT=22

   while true; do
       ssh -N -R ${REMOTE_PORT}:localhost:${LOCAL_PORT} \
           -o ServerAliveInterval=30 \
           -o ServerAliveCountMax=3 \
           -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes \
           ${VPS_USER}@${VPS_IP}
       
       echo "Tunnel disconnected. Reconnecting in 10 seconds..."
       sleep 10
   done
   ```
   
   Make executable:
   ```bash
   chmod +x ~/rpi-tunnel.sh
   ```

7. **Test the tunnel:**
   ```bash
   ./rpi-tunnel.sh
   ```
   (Leave it running, open new SSH session to continue)

### Step 3: Make Tunnel Persistent (Auto-start)

1. **Create systemd service:**
   ```bash
   sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/rpi-tunnel.service
   ```
   
   Paste (replace `pi` with your username):
   ```ini
   [Unit]
   Description=Raspberry Pi Reverse SSH Tunnel
   After=network-online.target
   Wants=network-online.target

   [Service]
   Type=simple
   User=pi
   ExecStart=/home/pi/rpi-tunnel.sh
   Restart=always
   RestartSec=10

   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   ```

2. **Enable and start service:**
   ```bash
   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   sudo systemctl enable rpi-tunnel
   sudo systemctl start rpi-tunnel
   ```

3. **Check status:**
   ```bash
   sudo systemctl status rpi-tunnel
   ```

### Step 4: Connect to Raspberry Pi

1. **From anywhere, SSH to your VPS:**
   ```bash
   ssh root@YOUR_VPS_IP
   ```

2. **Then connect to RPi through tunnel:**
   ```bash
   ssh -p 2222 pi@localhost
   ```

3. **Optional: Create shortcut script on VPS:**
   ```bash
   echo 'ssh -p 2222 pi@localhost' > ~/connect-rpi.sh
   chmod +x ~/connect-rpi.sh
   ```

## Troubleshooting

### Check if tunnel is active on VPS:
```bash
sudo netstat -tlnp | grep 2222
```

### View Raspberry Pi tunnel logs:
```bash
sudo journalctl -u rpi-tunnel -f
```

### Manual tunnel test from RPi:
```bash
ssh -N -R 2222:localhost:22 rpi-tunnel@YOUR_VPS_IP
```

### Reset everything:
**On VPS:**
```bash
sudo pkill -u rpi-tunnel
```

**On RPi:**
```bash
sudo systemctl stop rpi-tunnel
```

## Security Notes

- Only `localhost` connections to port 2222 are allowed on VPS
- The tunnel user has minimal privileges
- SSH keys are used instead of passwords
- Tunnel auto-reconnects if dropped

## One-Line Direct Connection (Advanced)

From your computer, connect directly:
```bash
ssh -J root@YOUR_VPS_IP -p 2222 pi@localhost
```

This uses SSH jump host to connect through VPS in one command.
