CANape 15

[tmheath]

I'm trying to use the CANape api to talk to CANape version 15. I've noticed that you do not support 15, is this because it's just not a target or because something is different about the dll? I've tried windll and WinDLL (as used in this project). Initially I was going to use this library but found that CANape 15 was unsupported.

Thanks for any information

I cannot test with CANape 15, but it might work. I'd say just try and report back.

Thanks, I'll test it on current python with CANape15 monday, I don't have the software at home. I'm currently writing a python lib in rust for this but if I'd just be replicating work then I'll scrap it in a heartbeat. We use a handful of different CANape versions at work with more to come, and other tools. I was going to make a universal multipurpose library, been having trouble with python and the dll but rust is working (I don't like the borrow checker, I like that the package manager and the build system are built in and tied together so there aren't issues handling libraries).

@zariiii9003 It appears that canape 15 is at least trying to work with errors about functions not being found. Running more tests, will confirm

Yeah, I think this is working but I'm going to have a couple pull requests from going over the initial documentation, thinking about adding enter and exit so that canape can just be called as a context manager so you don't have to worry about whether exit is called. I'll also submit a pr with canape15 to add to the documentation if this ends up fully working

[tmheath]

Also if you don't mind, I'd like to add a pdf target for the documentation so I can just download that instead of having use a web browser.

Sounds good 👍
