hello all,
any one can tell me with wich soft and hard i could start to learn and understand CAN protocol ?
i usualy work on rs232, wiegan, modbus, but never on can.

Would like a quick demo on how to use the CAN area of the parameters please Johannes if you would be so kind

what do you about this :

I picked up CANAble https://canable.io it is based on open-source http://cantact.io

CANAble is a bit pricey but you don't need to waste time building one yourself.

You can build your own:

Software: https://github.com/linklayer/cantact-app

Maybe this helps:

I use a CANDue that Damien donated to me and the software SavvyCAN.

That CANAble looks very good!

There is a lot of very expensive (500€+) CAN hardware out there that doesn't provide any benefits to the hobby user. So don't spend too much.

I have a cantact with the candlelight firmware. I've not had much of a play with it yet though.

hi! thanks for your feedback, i think i will try the canable pro.

I am also just starting to explore CANBus.

Does CAN transmits only happen in working start mode? or at any time? I have it on a bench with nothing attached to the board.

If I want to "debug/test" Canable in sniff mode. Will Hardware v3.0 be able to dump some info for me?

I get nothing. Pointers and examples needed.
