Implementation of CAN_PEAK_USB DIL #10

Open reymor opened 9 months ago

Currently, there is CAN_PEAK_USB.dll in Releases folder.

In old implementation it seems to be also a *.dll instead of an implementation as it is in other "drivers".

I think that if we follow the same structure in other drivers we could get something similar.

I'm not really sure why this is close source

Ok, I think that now I understand.

Currently, it is used canapi2.dll which is included when you buy PCAN-Developer or PCAN-Evaluation package. I think that this is the reason behind having a CAN_PEAK_USB as close source.

Here, the approach in the future will be using PCAN-Basic which is the free version.

In qt, the plugin is done with PCAN-Basic
