Scripts can.logger/can.viewer with peak-system over PCAN_USBBUS1

[balumbo]

I am trying to use the script can.logger with the PCAN-USB from peak-system. But it does not work unfortunately. When I use the receivetest from Peak-system everything is running. receivetest -f=/dev/pcanusb32 -b=0x852b -n=500.

When I call the can.logger script with python -m can.viewer -b 83333 -c "/dev/pcanusb32" -i pcan the following message pop up

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 174, in _run_module_as_main

     self.m_PcanHandle = globals()[channel]
 KeyError: '/dev/pcanusb32'

When I use python -m can.logger -f /home/balumbo/canlog.txt -c PCAN_USBBUS1 -i pcan -b 83333 The logger started but with no entries in the log file.

The same issue obtain with the can.viewer script. Which channel has to be used?

Channel 32 seems to just not exist in our library. You can see the available ones here. I don't know PEAK too well, but generally the channels depend on the hardware that you connected.

@balumbo : It looks like you are using the pcan adapter on linux os. Is this correct? Normally when i use the pcan adapter with linux i am using the socketcan driver provided by peak and integrated in the kernel. With this you can use the socketcan backend of python-can Maybe you can try to list the interface with ip link and check if there is an interface named can0 or something similar
