Question:Usage of socketcan_bridge #395

Closed ashwinsarvesh closed 4 years ago

ashwinsarvesh commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I want to convert a ROS topic to can messages and send it to a CAN bus using a USB to CAN adapter(eg.PEAK CAN adapter). Can I do this with socketcan_bridge? Basically to extract a software value in the form of ROS topic as a can message to send it to an external device.

Please help me.

socketcan_bridge only processes can_msgs/Frame messages. To support your custom format, you have to write your own node using socketcan_interface.

If you need further support, you might find hints or post you own question on ROS answers. GitHub issues are meant for bug reports and feature requests only.
