Sending CAN Messages From Komodo Duo Interface Channel and Monitoring It With The Other Channel Using Komodo GUI and Data Center
Sending CAN Messages From Komodo Duo Interface Channel and Monitoring It With The Other Channel Using Komodo GUI and Data Center

Introduction

This article focuses on how to send CAN data from Komodo Due interface channel A and monitor it in channel B of the same Komodo interface. In this example, one computer is used, since the Komodo interface has one USB interface for connecting to the computer.

Overview

In this article Komodo channel A is connected to Komodo channel B. Komodo channel A sends 11 22 33 44 55 and Komodo channel B monitors it.
