Read Can data from MoTec M800

[AndL88]

Hi i'm a student of Università Politecnica delle Marche and we'll partecipate at the next race on Varano for the Fomula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) championship. We are using a NI sbRIO 9636 for the telemetry system and i want to receive CAN data from the ECU. The ECU hardware is a MoTec M800.

Have you ever had this kind of problem?

Have you some notions and case for this hardware type?

Thank you so much

Hi,

first of all thank you for your posting. About the configuration of sbRIO 9636 and you ECU i think one of most important thing is understand what is CAN protocol and how programm the API to inteface board to your hardware.

Here some links about NI-CAN:

Than something about ECU test with NI Products:

I really hope that this information help you for the championship.

Have a nice day

One quick clarification. sbRIO does not use the standard NI-CAN or NI-XNET driver that the majority of other National Instruments CAN devices use. sbRIO uses the NI Embedded CAN for sbRIO driver instead.

exactly!!...i have install the driver for NI Embedded CAN to sbRIO and i try to adjust the example in labview for my case. Now i read some information but the number in the stamp is only a series of zero. I'm using the input stream.vi because is the easiest example for start with a CAN comunication (only read in my case).

I'm doing something wrong?

Thank for every answer
