CAN BUS tools.
Project description
About
CAN BUS tools.
DBC file mangling.
Installation
pip install cantools
Example usage
See the test suite: https://github.com/eerimoq/cantools/blob/master/tests/test_cantools.py
An example parsing and using a small DBC-file:
>>> import cantools
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> db = cantools.db.File()
>>> db.add_dbc_file('tests/files/motohawk.dbc')
>>> pprint(db.messages)
[message("ExampleMessage", 0x1f0, 8, "Example message used as template in MotoHawk models.")]
>>> example_message = db.messages[0]
>>> example_message.comment
'Example message used as template in MotoHawk models.'
>>> pprint(example_message.signals)
[signal("Temperature", 7, 12, "big_endian", "signed", 0.01, 250, 229.53, 270.47, "degK", None, None),
signal("AverageRadius", 1, 6, "big_endian", "unsigned", 0.1, 0, 0.0, 5.0, "m", None, ""),
signal("Enable", 0, 1, "big_endian", "unsigned", 1.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, "-", None, None)]
>>> pprint(db.ecus)
[ecu("PCM1", None)]
>>> db.version
'1.0'
>>>
The example continues encoding a message and sending it on a CAN bus using the python-can package.
>>> import can
>>> can_bus = can.interface.Bus()
>>> data = example_message.encode({'Temperature': 250.1, 'AverageRadius': 3.2, 'Enable': 1})
>>> message = can.Message(arbitration_id=example_message.frame_id, data=data)
>>> can_bus.send(message)
>>>
