I am writing a python program to produce canbus data in the following format.
<0x18eeff01> [8] 05 a0 be 1c 00 a0 a0 c0
I am using python-can library for this and trying to read message format as above. I couldn't figure out what is the first format <0x18eeff01> indicates? I don't know how I will produce that in the output.
try:
for i in range(0,200):
msg=bus.recv(timeout=1)
print("------")
data = "{} [{}]".format(msg.channel,msg.dlc)
for i in range(0,msg.dlc):
data += " {}".format(msg.data[i])
print(data)
#Timestamp, Prio, PGN,src,dest, len, data
except can.CanError:
print ("error")
finally:
bus.shutdown()
f.close()````
Following is the output of this code:
````[8] 05 a0 be 1c 00 a0 a0 c0````
How can I produce whole string of the data as mentioned earlier?
0x18eeff01 is the arbitration id in hex form. You can get it with msg.arbitration_id. See here
