Hello,
I am a c# developer, and i have a c# app for windows wich do a lot stuff on the can bus (with pcan usb).
Now i need also a app for linux programmed in c# wich do the same things.
I know about the mono stuff.
My app is already compiling.
But i have one problem.
How can i establish a connection the the pcan-usb with C# and linux.
Do some has some example??
BR

Do you think that in the next weeks you will have example for c# and linux?
May be you can take a look at the following code
Code: Select all
using TPCANHandle = System.Byte;
[Flags]
public enum PCANInitMessageType
{
Extended = 0x01,
Standard = 0x00,
}
public static class PCANBasicLinux
{
private const string PCAN_DLL = "/lib/libpcan.so.0.6";
[DllImport(PCAN_DLL, EntryPoint = "LINUX_CAN_Open")]
public static extern IntPtr CanOpen(
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.BStr)]
string deviceName,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)]
int nFlag);
[DllImport(PCAN_DLL, EntryPoint = "CAN_Init")]
public static extern int Init(
IntPtr handle,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)]
TPCANBaudrate Btr0Btr1,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.I4)]
PCANInitMessageType msgType);
[DllImport(PCAN_DLL, EntryPoint = "CAN_Close")]
public static extern int Close(IntPtr handle);
[DllImport(PCAN_DLL, EntryPoint = "CAN_Status")]
public static extern TPCANStatus GetStatus(IntPtr handle);
[DllImport(PCAN_DLL, EntryPoint = "CAN_Read")]
public static extern TPCANStatus Read(
IntPtr hanlde,
out TPCANMsg MessageBuffer);
[DllImport(PCAN_DLL, EntryPoint = "CAN_Write")]
public static extern TPCANStatus Write(
IntPtr hanlde,
ref TPCANMsg MessageBuffer);
[DllImport(PCAN_DLL, EntryPoint = "nGetLastError")]
public static extern int GetLastError();
}
I try to access the pcan with the following paratmert
Code: Select all
IntPtr ptr = PCANBasicLinux.CanOpen("/dev/pcan33", 0x02);
but the ptr is still zero
but when i try "cat /dev/pcan33" i will see all canmessages on the bus
when i enter "cat /proc/pcan" in console i will get
Code: Select all

I do not understand on which LIB you like to implemnt the C# Interface? Please send us a short e-mail to
support@peak-system.com and we could send you some Beta code for the PCAN-Basic for LINUX Implementation.

Hi,
I'm developing a mono application (Linux c#) using peak systems device too.
There is any information, samples since then?
@first_zyrex: do you have som control class which could be used by me?
Thank you

No, we do not offer any samples for MONO - please search on Linux Forums - this is the wrong Forum.
Our PCAN-Basic for Linux Package could be
download from our Support Page. We only official support C++/Java and Python. It will be possible to run with all available programming languages, but we could not build samples for every languages.
Inside the package you have the complete source - so it will no problem to build your own C# header, or try to use the
PCAN-Basic for Windows C# Header as template. If you have success, you could post the result here - maybe there are other users which find it usefull.

Hi,
I Checked out the windows C# Example code and it helped me.
But I saw that it uses chardev to connect and disconnect. Do you have any c# sample code using netdev?
Which option would you recommend for a non continuous communication aplication?
Thanks

In this Forum from PEAK-System, we only could do support for our own CAN Driver CharDev.
If you want support from the community driver NetDev, please post on a NetDev/SocketCAN related page.
Both drivers could be use for your application - but it´s your decission which you like to use...
