ldfparser 0.4.1

LDF Language support for Python

LDF Parser

This tool is able parse LIN Description Files, retrieve signal names and frames from them, as well as encoding messages using frame definitions and decoding them.

---

Example

import ldfparser

# Load LDF
ldf = ldfparser.LDF(path = "network.ldf")
frame = ldf.frame('Frame_1')

# Get baudrate from LDF
print(ldf.baudrate)

# Encode signal values into frame
message = frame.raw({"Signal_1": 123, "Signal_2": 0})
print(binascii.hexlify(message))
# >> 0x7B00

# Decode message into dictionary of signal names and values
received = bytearray([0x7B, 0x00])
print(frame.parse(received))
# >> {"Signal_1": 123, "Signal_2": 0}

# Encode signal values through converters
message = frame.data({"MotorRPM": 100, "FanState": "ON"}, ldf.converters)
print(binascii.hexlify(message))
# >> 0xFE01
