Need a few clarifications

Post by dshaunak » Fri Jun 08, 2012 9:02 am

I am pretty confused about a few things:

How do you remove the simulated data and connect to a CAN program to read real signals?

What exactly is required to modify a signal value? I have viewed the post about updating a sytem variable, but have been unable to translate that to version 2.3. I haven't the foggiest how to go about pressing a button and changing a CAN signal value, for example, pressing a button to engage the transmission to neutral or reverse. Just a list of steps and state diagrams and all the bases that need to be covered would be appreciated.

A similar list of steps for page navigation between layers would also be appreciated; how was the event that does the transition in the example configuration created?

Thank you in advance

Hi Dshaunak,

Personally, i would have the button fire a calculation event on your variable, which is located by the variable page. If you do a calculation with just "1" or "0" in, the variable will be changed to the value. You can then send the CAN message cyclically, or on the change of a variable.

Hope this helped!
