amund7 / CANBUS-Analyzer

Originally a development tool for Scan My Tesla, but contributions has turned into a standalone canbus data analyzer suite, supporting a wide variety of log formats, and also DBC file signal definitions.

Choose which packet definitions to use (Model S, Model 3, Model S DBC, etc.) #18

At the moment, CANBUS-Analyzer can only load the hard-coded Model S packet definitions for analysis.

Adding a "mode" or "definitions" selector (e.g. dropdown list) to the UI would allow the user to switch between different analysis modes (assuming the modes are exclusive of one another). Options might include:

Model S Defaults (hard-coded definitions) Model 3 Defaults (hard-coded definitions) Model S RWD DBC file Model S AWD DBC file Model 3 DBC file

I think we are close, if not already at where we could just load any DBC file for any car. So maybe the dropdown should be

the latter would pop up an open dialog. After loading several DBC files, they should stay in that box for quick select/load later on.

The reason I tag it with ScanMyTesla is that those options would show also the compound signals SMT provides, that are impossible in DBC, such as battery power (kW) calculated from simply watt*volts.

Just an idea, but we are moving fast towards compatibility with any DBC file, and we should start preparing the UI for it.

Hope: At some point hopefully there will be one or more packets we can use to identify the vehicle type enough to appropriately choose the right DBC file automatically.

I don't think we should stress that, if we support DBC files, we support ANY dbc file, right? Meaning, volvos, audis, school buses whatever.

But perhaps it can be done for model3 / S ?
