Then I decided to make it a CAN Bus sniffer:

This is also an interesting read in the same direction:

However, I realized I can't test this by itself so I started googling more and found the most amazing piece of open source hardware and software I have seen in the CAN Bus world:

So I quickly put this together, flashed it, and it works! It's not gonna be mega fast and it will likely miss packages but this is much better than anything I have seen so far. Usually CAN Bus sniffers with interpreter software are quite pricy...
