I have an EPOS4 50/5 controller and would like to use your code to control it. Is it possible to modify your code to make this work? Thanks

I have exactly the same project running and wondering ;)

My setup: Raspberry Pi 3B+, CAN-HAT (CAN-to-SPI), EPOS 50/5 & EPOS 24/2

Thanks

Hello! When I was reading documentation from Maxon I remember that many commands where shared among several devices. So I would say it is possible to be pretty much compatible or at least very similar. Canopen also defines a few dictionary words that must be respected by all manufacturers if they want to comply with a specific profile definition. Like the 402 profile.

As for modification, yes of course. Feel free to do so. If later on you can share you improvements with this repository, please feel free to do a pull request. However I am no longer able to test in real devices because I am no longer working in this field.
