CAN over network bridge for Python
Creates a CAN over TCP/IP bridge for use with python-can.
Installation
Install using pip:
$ pip install python-can-remote
Usage
Start server from command line:
$ python -m can_remote --interface=virtual --channel=0 --bitrate=500000
Create python-can bus:
import can
# Create a connection to server. Any config is passed to server.
bus = can.Bus('ws://localhost:54701/',
bustype='remote',
bitrate=500000,
receive_own_messages=True)
# Send messages
msg = can.Message(arbitration_id=0x12345, data=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8])
bus.send(msg)
# Receive messages
msg2 = bus.recv(1)
print(msg2)
# Disconnect
bus.shutdown()Web interface
There is also a basic web interface for inspecting the CAN traffic using a browser. It is available on the same address using HTTP, e.g. http://localhost:54701/.
