Introduction

The AutoPi CAN-FD Pro + IP67 Casing is our most powerful automotive data logging device, engineered for full-speed dual CAN-FD channel capture. Built on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module, it features 32 GB of onboard storage (expandable via flash drive) and an integrated 4G/LTE modem for secure, real-time data delivery to your cloud environment.

Designed for demanding deployments, the device is housed in a durable, IP67-rated aluminum enclosure — resistant to dust, dirt, and water ingress — making it well-suited for rugged, outdoor, and industrial installations.

Highlighted features

CAN Bus logging from dual interface

Configure loggers in the AutoPi Cloud to capture full CAN-FD traffic from both interfaces simultaneously. Remotely adjust bitrate, CAN bus termination, and bus auto-detection settings — no physical access required.

Flexible storage endpoints

Define where your data goes. Route data to Amazon AWS S3, store it locally on the eMMC, or write to an external flash drive — all configured from the cloud.

On-device CAN bus decoding

Offload decoding to the edge device rather than processing it in the cloud. Upload proprietary DBC files to decode raw CAN data directly on the device before transmission.

Remote live debugging

Connect to the CAN-FD Pro via Tailscale for secure remote access. Interact with live CAN bus traffic and deploy custom projects using Docker images — without being on-site.

Advanced CAN bus filtering

Reduce data volume by applying pass or block filters based on individual CAN frame message IDs, ensuring only the most relevant data is captured and transmitted.

Data enrichment and encryption

Augment CAN data with additional sources such as onboard IMU and GPS, or integrate external sensors. All data can be encrypted and cryptographically signed using the onboard NXP SE51 secure element.
