I worked through (almost) all of the candump options and arguments to help viewers better understand what's possible in the Candump program in can-utils
I haven't had much luck** getting my trc files (captured using PCAN View) to convert to asc/log/csv... so I'm thinking of trying candump using a live kali-linux dvd (no install or vm)! My goal is to plot a capture+dbc using cantools , and/or converting to csv (using dbc + Log-CANverter), although it would be easier to stay within Windows. I know PCAN-Explorer can plot real-time, but not sure if you can replay a trc and have it show in their plotter / panel with gauges. ** I tried Matlab's trc2csv Peak-Converter (trc->asc/mf4) karlding canlogconvert (trc->asc) python-can can.logconvert (asc->log)
Hello Mitch, thanks for your awesome video. If I want to sniffer for a specific traffic from a specific component on a car, how can I tell which is which from the CAN log?
the educated guess scenario would be to disconnect the node from the network. I'll usually do this by pulling the fuse going to the device if applicable. The precise method is to split the network into 2 networks, isolating the device and pass through all messages back and forth. this will allow you to know what messages are on which side of the network
@@Mintonperformance what option command I should use for this case, for example, traffic from power steering motor and ABS pump? I know their fuse position but I'm not sure how to sort them out
I can't translate this to a real can device. I have a battery that has a canbus j1939 interface. I can get to it with a usb dongle, use the windows software that came with the battery to send a request to the battery and get the info back, but I can't repeat this in linux with candump and cansend as I don't know what to set up with a real can interface nor what to send to the battery to get the response. Any help would be appreciated.
hello good afternoon, iam using your code to convert log files to csv files but i just want to know, is there any other way for getting decoded log files as normal txt file without csv exporter?
Was hoping to see some explanation of what those dashes mean with the -x option. Can't find anything online. I am seeing 'B' in the first column and an 'E' in the second column. Suspect they're errors, but what kind?
Its show over a dozen times during the video.... -x print extra message infos, rx/tx brs esi What you need to do is run 'man candump && cowsay Deeerrrppp' Or 'Candump -h (or --help) && echo did i have to ask a youtube video how to use a man page or help page when its shown in the video before he adds an option'
