Hi Guys,
A friend of mine just bought two car seats which have several electrical
adjustments, the motors on the seats use CAN to communicate with the
main control panel. The problem is that the mechanism for the seat to
slide back and forward is not fitted as standard but can be bought and
fitted separately. As this seat is about 10 years old and the
manufacturer does not make them anymore, finding the motor for this
function is proving to be difficult. If he can not find the right motor
from the manufacturer he can find another motor to fit in its place but
what about the CAN interface, does each of the motors has it's own
controller? 
This motor also has an encoder for positioning, which probably means it
needs to have its own uController.
If each motor as its own controller, can I connect my own micro into the
bus, press the button for forward and reverse on the main panel and read
the packets to extract ID, commands sent and other info?
Best regards
		Luis
