How to connect SavvyCAN to can0 SocketCAN interface on Linux Mint Victoria ? #786

Open mdear opened 4 months ago

mdear commented 4 months ago

On my Linux Mint Victoria system:

I configure my can0 device (I'm using a Kvaser M.2 CanBUS interface card) :

sudo ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 250000

I confirm that packets are coming in via candump can0 and I see messages coming from one of my Blink Marine 5-button pads:

can0 18EFFF0B [8] 04 1B 01 03 00 0B FF FF

I launch SavvyCAN, select the Connection tab, click on "Open Connection Window", click on "Add New Device Connection", but am unsure how to proceed further.

I would like to connect SavvyCAN to my device can0 that shows up in the "ip link" command, and then import my DBC files.

Is this possible to do? If so, please send instructions. If not, could it be made to connect to my device ?

Click on Connection / Open Connection Window
Click on Add New Device Connection
Select QT SerialBus Devices (SocketCAN, PeackCAN, etc)
For SerialBus Device Type select socketcan
For Port select your CAN interface, can0.
Click Create New Connection

You should see your CAN interface in the Connected Devices list, and its Status should be Connected, and you should see your packets arriving in the main window.
