Use of not listed adapter

I have an OEM VCI, CAN to USB, that I like to use.
I can see messages sent from my Vipec ECU via the VCI in CanKing, so it’s all there.
Is it possible to pick it up in RealDash?

That would require implementing a driver for your CAN adapter. It is possible if driver protocol is publicly available.

Easier solution is to use one of the already supported CAN adapters:

RealDash | Manuals | Supported CAN/LIN Adapters

Thanks. Yes the driver is public.
Can I implement the driver or do you need to do it and make a new release? If it requires a new release I obviously don’t expect the support.
I have looked in the .ns files for clues…
Kiitos paljon

Yes, an update is required to add new connection type.

Could you link the documentation of that adapter protocol? If that is not available, a C/Python/whatnot example will also help.

Maybe here?:

Thanks!

Yep, found the source code.

Honestly, I do not want to mess with it. Its a lot of source code files, I just do not have time nor interest to go thru it.

As any of the already RealDash supported CAN adapters can be bought for 10~50 bucks, I do not see any good reason for spending days developing support for this one particular.

To put this is context, typical source code for our supported CAN adapters is about 100 lines of code. On quick clance, Kvaser canlib seems to have tens of thousands of lines. No thank you :smiley:

I understand fully. Thank you very much for looking anyway. :+1:
