Example for sending messages to wireless gateway

[arasbm]

I am trying to make a virtual CAN gateway for Linux that uses Socket CAN in C++. I am able to receive packets on UDP port and relay them to vcan0. However I am a bit stuck on packaging CAN messages I am receiving on vcan0 into UDP packages and sending them to the PCAN wireless gateway. I have studied the example C# app (https://www.peak-system.com/forum/viewt ... 156&t=1340) but that code only handles receiving messages not sending. I have also looked at the developer documentation. I think all the information I need is in developer doc, but I would appreciate a bit more help with this. Do you have an example code for sending CAN messages over UDP to PCAN wireless gateway?

My second question is, do I need to create a second route in the PCAN wireless for receiving messages?

This decive is pretty amazing so far. I cant wait to finish my virtual gateway. So far it is performing very well

Thank you!

To follow up with a bit more specifi information. Here is my code for opening remote socket:

Code: Select all

    socket = new QUdpSocket(this);
    qInfo() << "setting remote address: " << remoteGatewayAddress.setAddress("192.168.10.99");
    socket->bind(remoteGatewayAddress, 50001);

    if(socket->state() != socket->BoundState) {
        qInfo() << "UdpSender: Error! can not open connection ";
    } else {
        qInfo() << "UdpSender: Bound to Remote UDP Socket. Lets send!";
    }

On the PCAN wireless gateway I have made a new route for IP->CAN using Local IP - Port:50001. But I get the error above "UdpSender: Error! can not open connection ". And on the PCAN online interface the light remains yellow for the newly created route.

Hope it is a bit more clear what I am trying to achieve. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi,
did you disable the handshake mechanism as described in chapter 1.3 of the developer documentation? The status light should get blue then instead of yellow…

Hi Stephan,
That was part of the problem. You are right, I forgot to turn hanshake off for the second route. I have disabled the handshake now and the route status icon is blue. However, I still can not bind to the port from my app. Is there anything else I am missing?
If you have a simple sample code for sending messages from PC to the PCAN wireless gateway, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

there are small C examples to send / receive messages to / from the gateways. Please write a short mail to our support with a reference to this thread so that they can send them to you.
