QT based cross platform canbus tool (C) 2015-2017 EVTV and Collin Kidder

A QT5 based cross platform tool which can be used to load, save, and capture canbus frames. This tool is designed to help with visualization, reverse engineering, debugging, and capturing of canbus frames.

Really requires at a resolution of at least 1024x768. Fully multi-monitor capable.

You are highly recommended to use the CANDue board from EVTV: (http://store.evtv.me/proddetail.php?prod=ArduinoDueCANBUS&cat=23)

The CANDue board must be running the GVRET firmware which can also be found within the collin80 repos.

It is now possible to use any SocketCAN compatible device under LINUX. There may, however, be some loss of some functionality as some functions of SavvyCAN are designed for use directly with the EVTVDue and CANDue 2.0 boards.

It should, however, be noted that use of a capture device is not required to make use of this program. It can load and save in several formats:

1. BusMaster log file

2. Microchip log file

3. CRTD format (OVMS log file format from Mark Webb-Johnson)

4. GVRET native format

5. Generic CSV file (ID,D0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7)

6. Vector Trace files

7. IXXAT Minilog files

8. CAN-DO Logs

9. Vehicle Spy log files

10. CANDump / Kayak (Read only)

11. PCAN Viewer (Read Only)

Requires QScintilla library available at:

https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/qscintilla/download

Also uses QCustomPlot available at:

http://www.qcustomplot.com/

However, this source code is integrated into the source for SavvyCAN and one isn't required to download it separately.

This project requires 5.6.0 or higher because of a dependency on QSerialBus which is an optional download with QT 5.6 (so, be sure to select it)

##Instructions for compiling:

Download the newest stable version of Qt directly from qt.io (You need 5.6.x or newer)

download and extract QScintilla (see above for link), assume it is extracted in QScintilla-gpl-2.9.1

cd ~/QScintilla-gpl-2.9.1/Qt4Qt5

You will need to either put your copy of QT into your path or specify the path to qmake directly

~/Qt/5.7/gcc_64/bin/qmake qscintilla.pro

make

sudo make install

Optionally remove ~/QScintilla-gpl-2.9.1

cd ~

git clone https://github.com/collin80/SavvyCAN.git

cd SavvyCAN

~/Qt/5.7/gcc_64/bin/qmake

make

Now run SavvyCAN

./SavvyCAN

##What to do if your compile failed?

The very first thing to do is try:

qmake

make clean

make

Did that fix it? Great! If not, see if QT seems to be complaining about not finding the QScintilla header files. If that's the case then you are probably not using the same QT version as QScintilla was compiled against. It's easy to run the wrong qmake and have this happen. Double check that you've already compiled and installed QScintilla and that you've used the proper qmake version.
