CAN bus access from Script

Post by mbowdich » Mon Jul 11, 2011 11:34 am

Is therea way to access the CAN bus directly from a script. I am interested in both sending messages (J1939 and CANOpen), and recieving messages (being able to write to a variable with an extended timeout.

No - not currently. There has been some discussion about adding this as a feature, but it hasn't gotten to the top of the list yet.

Can I trigger a FFCAN send from a script or do I have to put it in a state machine and call an event to the state machine from the script?

Correct. Actions come only from state machines currently.
