cantools

A collection of CLI tools for receiving and transmitting CAN frames using Linux SocketCAN

Description

These tools can be used - and were developed - using a Raspberry Pi 3 with a PiCAN2 HAT.

  • cantx: one-time or cyclic transmission of a single frame
  • canprint: printing frames into the console
  • cangw: routing frames between CAN and UDP

Build

Use make to build all tools or make cangw etc.

Examples:

# Send frame each 100 ms
$ ./cantx --device=can0 --id=42 --data=0807060504030201 --cycle=100

# Route frames from CAN to UDP
$ ./cangw --listen --ip=192.168.1.5 --port=30001

# Same but using short options
$ ./cangw -li 192.168.1.5 -p 30001

# Route frames between interfaces and add timestamps to UDP payload
$ ./cangw -lsti 192.168.1.5 -p 30001
