A few new commands in the making #5

Closed yoh-there closed 8 years ago

yoh-there commented 9 years ago

I am working on, and still adding a few more commands and functions. There is nothing I am requesting or reporting, just announcing that it might pop up somewhere soon, avoid double work and well, to be polite.

  1. a command to echo a CAN frame. Goal: test analytic software running on PC on the desk, but with a full datacom / timing environment.
  2. a command to switch the binary output to one of the serials (and back), also specifying a baud rate. Goal: to use GVRET as a back end to any tablet app, through a cheap Bluetooth/Serial connector (HC-05) wired to one of the SAM's UARTS. This might end up in a new board, based on Teensy 3.0. In theory, this might also be beneficial to SavvyCan (less wires, sitting outside the car)

The combination of the two will allow for desk/bench testing of Apps, using a small application on the PC to read CRTD files and replaying them to GVRET.

First item has long been submitted and merged.

Second, it will most probably not happen. For the app (CanZe, for Renault Zoe) we have been able to make the slow ELM's bend to our wishes. Only for near real time display special hardware like a Due or Teensy is needed and in all honesty, for anything but personal use, it's not worth the trouble.

I am closing this issue, feel free to re-open.
