Python CAN Bus API - Automate CAN/LIN Processing [Open Source]

Learn more about the 100% open source CAN bus Python API:
https://www.csselectronics.com/pages/python-can-bus-api


In this intro we introduce our Python API for CAN/LIN data:

- 00:00 Introduction
- 00:20 CAN loggers & DBC files
- 00:58 CAN bus GUI tools
- 01:30 4 limitations of GUIs
- 02:30 CAN bus Python API overview
- 03:45 Use cases for the API
- 06:35 Article overview


The CANedge is a series of pro specs, simple-to-use and low cost CAN/LIN data loggers. They let you record 2 x CAN/LIN to an SD card - and in the case of the CANedge2, collect the data via WiFi.

The CAN loggers come with 100% free software and API tools. In particular, one of the tools is our CAN/LIN Python API.

Our Python API has several powerful features:

- LIST LOGS: List log files between a start/stop time from local disk or your S3 server

- LOAD RAW DATA: Load MF4 files with CAN/LIN data into dataframes / iterators for processing

- DBC DECODE: Load DBC file(s) and DBC decode raw CAN/LIN data to physical values

- OPEN SOURCE: Modules are 100% free and open source FOSS - and supported on both Windows, Linux

- API EXAMPLES: Multiple simple-to-use code snippets are available to get you started quickly

- LIGHT WEIGHT: Modules are efficient, yet extremely light with minimal dependencies

At CSS Electronics we specialize in simple-to-use, pro specs and interoperable CAN bus data loggers - like the CANedge and CLX000 series. The devices let you record raw data from e.g. cars, trucks, industrial machinery and other CAN based applications onto an 8-32 GB SD card. The devices are interoperable, meaning you can process the data in your favorite existing software - or use our 100% free and open source software/API tools.
