Vector Socketcan Adapter

This is a small helper script to connect a Vector CAN interface or virtual bus to a socketcan interface running on linux machine using ethernet.

The https://github.com/christiansandberg/python-can-remote project is used to tunnel can messages over websockets.

Usage

• install python on both machines
• install python-can-remote on both machines: pip3 install python-can-remote
• on the windows machine
  • start vector hardware configuration
  • configure CAN1 for the CANalyzer application to your interface or virtual bus
  • run python python -m can_remote -c 0 -i vector
• on the linux machine
  • change windows ip address and socketcan interface in the python script
  • run python3 can_bridge_linux.py
• Gratulations! The Vector CAN Bus and your the socketcan bus are now connected.
