How is CANAddressInfo Updated

Post by robertheldibridle » Thu May 21, 2015 2:35 pm

So I have read viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1084. At the bottom is a zip file with 3 config files, one of which is CANAddressInfo Type List with Script. In this script, a CANAddressInfo Type is created.

How or when is it updated?

I put similar scripts in my config, but it is not being updated. Is this magically updated or is there some explicate configuration that is needed to get it to work?

Thanks

Hello Robert,

The CANAddressInfo Type is filled in during address arbitration with information from the Address Claimed (60928) message. The config you have referenced will show new Source Addresses based on what the display sees during the arbitration process.

So if you have multiple devices on the same CAN with your display, you should see their source address in the list on your display, using the config, CANAddressInfo Type List with Script.

Thanks for the information.

I must admit, I had an ID10T error on my page that showed the information.

I had all my number gauges pointing to the port data of the table, which is zero on my setup. I also had the number of devices on the bus number gauge pointing to the wrong variable, which showed zero. So, when I would scroll through the table I would only see zeros. :oops:

Corrected the problems and it works like it should.

Thanks
