Send CAN message and await response until sending the next one

[kepan13]

Hello,

I am trying to create a python script to send some CAN messages using the PCANBasic Api. For example, say i want to send 35 messages. I've been searching this forum, and I think i've read it's not possible to have more than 1 instance of the CAN_BUS using this API at the same time. I need to both write and read in the same program. Is this possible?

Like this: send msg -> wait for response -> message received! go on to next msg -> send msg ...

Best regards,
Kepan13

Hello Kepan,

I assume you mean a CAN hardware channel by "CAN_BUS", in which case this statement is the complete opposite of what actually is the case, let me clearify:

A PCANBasic application cannot access a CAN-Channel used by another application.

A PCANBasic application can use up to 16 channels per hardware-type.

Have you checked out our PCANBasic example application?

Sending and reading from the same application is not an issue at all.

You may wanna start looking at the example-application and take a look at the examples given in the PCANBasic documentation:
