Hello,

I'm aware that this is not really an issue about the provided C++-code. I'm posting it as an "issue" due to the lack of a better suited communication-channel. If there is one please tell me.

The aduino-sketches demonstrate how use an arduino to send can-bus-frames towards a device that runs realdash. Though I haven't found any links that would describe how to realise this connection.

A real can bus is not the same as a "simple" serial connection. Do I have to use a serial-to-canbus-adapter to make it work? Does realdash offer an opportunity to directly link the arduino to a smartphone or a tablet by using an USB-to-serial adapter?

These are the questions a real newcomer has. I looked up the realdash-board website but I did not find informations like this.

My guessing is it will be not as easy as "plug in your smartphone via USB-cable to a PC and the folder with the camera-pictures will be opened automatically"

best regards Stefan
