CANbus Decoding : Convert Raw Log files with a supporting DBC File into CSV files

This Program is designed to turn RAW CAN message log files into a CSV file with a Supporting DBC File.

Raw CANbus Log file format : SocketCAN

Mitch (better than Buchannon) !! I am trying to understand and use the amazing python tool you created. I am fresh new to this topic, and I have never used socketCAN whatsoever ... so i dont have any log files to know the correct format. I have tried with kvaser (which I happen to have) and logging files with an specific dbc file, but the script is not working for me. Can you tell how the format should be? Kvaser does not provide a good one when you log with it?

You mentioned, you prefer using Vector CANdb++ Editor. Could you an in-depth "getting started" video about it?

Very impressive as always ;)
And 458mb; that's a lot of data !

Hi Mitch, i am working on a hybrid EV...we have to build this from scratch and get it down in competition. We are using VCU(vehicle control unit) for controlling and monitoring diff sensors, Motor, generator, etc. We cannot change VCU code as it will be programmed and given by organizer. we want to logg CAN data out of it and decode that data to get sensor readings, signal graphs, etc.

To get CAN data, we are planning to use a arduino with transceiver to read DATA and logg it in a memory card/pendrive. After getting this data, we are requesting DBC file from organizer as it will help us to deocde the data

I want you to guide me in this regarding and also let me know if i am doing it right😄

Impressive work ! fast proceesing speed :-) a small question ? Do you eventually know if it possible to convert to a exe or does it need to much dependencies ?

Could you please explain how to convert DBC file into excel?

[roizano]

very nice code!
Can you add some DBCs and logs for dry-run?
