Vector¶
This interface adds support for CAN controllers by Vector.
By default this library uses the channel configuration for CANalyzer.
To use a different application, open Vector Hardware Config program and create
a new application and assign the channels you may want to use.
Specify the application name as app_name='Your app name'
when constructing
the bus or in a config file.
Channel should be given as a list of channels starting at 0.
Here is an example configuration file connecting to CAN 1 and CAN 2 for an application named “python-can”:
[default]
interface = vector
channel = 0, 1
app_name = python-can
If you are using Python 2.7 it is recommended to install pywin32, otherwise a slow and CPU intensive polling will be used when waiting for new messages.
Bus¶
-
class
can.interfaces.vector.
VectorBus
(channel, can_filters=None, poll_interval=0.01, receive_own_messages=False, bitrate=None, rx_queue_size=16384, app_name='CANalyzer', fd=False, data_bitrate=None, sjwAbr=2, tseg1Abr=6, tseg2Abr=3, sjwDbr=2, tseg1Dbr=6, tseg2Dbr=3, **config)¶ The CAN Bus implemented for the Vector interface.
