File Reader Can Example
This file_reader_can example
parses the CAN data from a recorded log and prints the AmigaTpdo1 parsed
values. The AmigaTpdo1 can packet contains
the state, speed, and angular rate of the Amiga, as
reported by the vehicle control unit (VCU).
If you haven't already cloned the farm-ng-amiga repository, do
so here.
If you already have the log file you want to run with this example you can skip to set up
Download the log file​
Now you are going to download the log file that you will use in this example. Click here to download
[Optional] Make a Data folder​
We are going to make a folder that will store all of our log files, including the one you just downloaded.
cd <to-your-base-directory>
mkdir <data-file>
cd <data-file>
pwd # the output of this is your <path>
# Now that the file is downloaded you will do the following
cd ~ # navigate to home directory
cd Downloads
mv events_12052022115852.bin <path-to-where-data-file-is-above> # moving the data to to data-folder
Now that you have your log file in the correct place, in your
terminal navigate to where the repository farm-ng-amiga is and
open Visual Studio Code.
Setup​
Create first a virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
Install​
cd py/examples/file_reader_can
pip install -r requirements.txt
Run example​
Specify the file (download before)
python main.py --file-name <path-to-file>/events_12052022115852.bin
Optionally, you can change the can interface that is played back
from the default of can0. E.g.,
python main.py --file-name <path-to-file>/events_12052022115852.bin --can-interface vcan0
If everything worked correctly you should now see a large stream of text come up in your terminal!
The output should look something like this:
AMIGA TPDO1 Amiga state 2 Measured speed 0.000 Measured angular
rate 0.000 @ time 1512.775886915

Congrats you are done!
There is another tutorial that walks you through getting data directly from the Amiga here.
