Installation
============
.. code-block:: bash
python3 -m pip install cantools
Example usage
=============
Scripting
---------
The example starts by parsing a `small DBC-file`_ and printing its
messages and signals.
.. code-block:: python
>>> import cantools
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> db = cantools.database.load_file('tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc')
>>> db.messages
[message('ExampleMessage', 0x1f0, False, 8, 'Example message used as template in MotoHawk models.')]
>>> example_message = db.get_message_by_name('ExampleMessage')
>>> pprint(example_message.signals)
[signal('Enable', 7, 1, 'big_endian', False, 1.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, '-', False, None, {0: 'Disabled', 1: 'Enabled'}, None),
signal('AverageRadius', 6, 6, 'big_endian', False, 0.1, 0, 0.0, 5.0, 'm', False, None, None, ''),
signal('Temperature', 0, 12, 'big_endian', True, 0.01, 250, 229.53, 270.47, 'degK', False, None, None, None)]
The example continues `encoding`_ a message and sending it on a CAN
bus using the `python-can`_ package.
.. code-block:: python
>>> import can
>>> can_bus = can.interface.Bus('vcan0', bustype='socketcan')
>>> data = example_message.encode({'Temperature': 250.1, 'AverageRadius': 3.2, 'Enable': 1})
>>> message = can.Message(arbitration_id=example_message.frame_id, data=data)
>>> can_bus.send(message)
Alternatively, a message can be encoded using the `encode_message()`_
method on the database object.
The last part of the example receives and `decodes`_ a CAN message.
.. code-block:: python
>>> message = can_bus.recv()
>>> db.decode_message(message.arbitration_id, message.data)
{'AverageRadius': 3.2, 'Enable': 'Enabled', 'Temperature': 250.09}
See `examples`_ for additional examples.
Command line tool
-----------------
The decode subcommand
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Decode CAN frames captured with the Linux program ``candump``.
.. code-block:: text
$ candump vcan0 | python3 -m cantools decode tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc
vcan0 1F0 [8] 80 4A 0F 00 00 00 00 00 ::
ExampleMessage(
Enable: 'Enabled' -,
AverageRadius: 0.0 m,
Temperature: 255.92 degK
)
vcan0 1F0 [8] 80 4A 0F 00 00 00 00 00 ::
ExampleMessage(
Enable: 'Enabled' -,
AverageRadius: 0.0 m,
Temperature: 255.92 degK
)
vcan0 1F0 [8] 80 4A 0F 00 00 00 00 00 ::
ExampleMessage(
Enable: 'Enabled' -,
AverageRadius: 0.0 m,
Temperature: 255.92 degK
)
Alternatively, the decoded message can be printed on a single line:
.. code-block:: text
$ candump vcan0 | python3 -m cantools decode --single-line tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc
vcan0 1F0 [8] 80 4A 0F 00 00 00 00 00 :: ExampleMessage(Enable: 'Enabled' -, AverageRadius: 0.0 m, Temperature: 255.92 degK)
vcan0 1F0 [8] 80 4A 0F 00 00 00 00 00 :: ExampleMessage(Enable: 'Enabled' -, AverageRadius: 0.0 m, Temperature: 255.92 degK)
vcan0 1F0 [8] 80 4A 0F 00 00 00 00 00 :: ExampleMessage(Enable: 'Enabled' -, AverageRadius: 0.0 m, Temperature: 255.92 degK)
The plot subcommand
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The plot subcommand is similar to the decode subcommand but messages are visualized using `matplotlib`_ instead of being printed to stdout.
.. code-block:: bash
$ candump -l vcan0
$ cat candump-2021-01-04_180521.log
(1609779922.655421) vcan0 00000343#B204B9049C049C04

$ cat candump-2021-01-04_180521.log | python3 -m cantools plot tests/files/dbc/abs.dbc
.. image:: https://github.com/cantools/cantools/raw/master/docs/plot-1.png
If you don't want to show all signals you can select the desired signals with command line arguments.
A ``*`` can stand for any number of any character, a ``?`` for exactly one arbitrary character.
Signals separated by a ``-`` are displayed in separate subplots.
Optionally a format can be specified after a signal, separated by a colon.
.. code-block:: bash
$ cat candump-2021-01-04_180521.log | python3 -m cantools plot tests/files/dbc/abs.dbc '*33.*fl:-<' '*33.*fr:->' - '*33.*rl:-<' '*33.*rr:->'
.. image:: https://github.com/cantools/cantools/raw/master/docs/plot-2-subplots.png
Signals with a different range of values can be displayed in the same subplot on different vertical axes by separating them with a comma.
.. code-block:: bash
$ cat candump-2021-01-04_180521.log | cantools plot --auto-color tests/files/dbc/abs.dbc -- \
--ylabel 'Bremse 33' '*_33.*fl*:-<' '*_33.*fr*:>' '*_33.*rl*:3' '*_33.*rr*:4' , \
--ylabel 'Bremse 2' '*_2.*fl*:-<' '*_2.*fr*:>' '*_2.*rl*:3' '*_2.*rr*:4'
.. image:: https://github.com/cantools/cantools/raw/master/docs/plot-2-axes.png
Matplotlib comes with different preinstalled styles that you can use:
.. code-block:: bash
$ cat candump-2021-01-04_180521.log | cantools plot tests/files/dbc/abs.dbc --style seaborn
.. image:: https://github.com/cantools/cantools/raw/master/docs/plot-seaborn.png
You can try all available styles with
.. code-block:: bash
$ cantools plot --list-styles . | sed -n '/^- /s/^- //p' | while IFS= read -r style; do
cat candump-2021-01-04_180521.log | cantools plot tests/files/dbc/abs.dbc --style "$style" --title "--style '$style'"
done
For more information see
.. code-block:: bash
$ python3 -m cantools plot --help
Note that by default matplotlib is not installed with cantools. But it can be by specifying an extra
at installation:
.. code-block:: bash
$ python3 -m pip install cantools[plot]
The dump subcommand
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dump given database in a human readable format:
.. code-block:: text
$ python3 -m cantools dump tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc
================================= Messages =================================

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The list subcommand
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Print all information of a given database in a human readable
format. This is very similar to the "dump" subcommand, but the output
is less pretty, slightly more comprehensive and easier to parse by
shell scripts:
.. code-block:: bash
$ python3 -m cantools list -a tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc
ExampleMessage:
Comment[None]: Example message used as template in MotoHawk models.
Frame ID: 0x1f0 (496)
Size: 8 bytes
Is extended frame: False
Signals:
Enable:
Type: Integer
Start bit: 7
Length: 1 bits
Unit: -
Is signed: False
Named values:
0: Disabled
The generate C source subcommand
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Generate `C` source code from given database.
The generated code contains:
- Message `structs`_.
- Message `pack`_ and `unpack`_ functions.
- Signal `encode`_ and `decode`_ functions.
- Frame id, length, type, cycle time and signal choices `defines`_.
Known limitations:
- The maximum signal size is 64 bits, which in practice is never
exceeded.
Below is an example of how to generate C source code from a
database. The database is ``tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc``.
.. code-block:: text
$ python3 -m cantools generate_c_source tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc
Successfully generated motohawk.h and motohawk.c.
See `motohawk.h`_ and `motohawk.c`_ for the contents of the generated
files.
In this example we use ``--use-float`` so floating point numbers in the generated
code are single precision (``float``) instead of double precision (``double``).
.. code-block:: text
$ python3 -m cantools generate_c_source --use-float tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc
Successfully generated motohawk.h and motohawk.c.
In the next example we use ``--database-name`` to set a custom
namespace for all generated types, defines and functions. The output
file names are also changed by this option.
.. code-block:: text
$ python3 -m cantools generate_c_source --database-name my_database_name tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc
Successfully generated my_database_name.h and my_database_name.c.
See `my_database_name.h`_ and `my_database_name.c`_ for the contents
of the generated files.
In the next example we use ``--no-floating-point-numbers`` to generate
code without floating point types, i.e. ``float`` and ``double``.
.. code-block:: text
$ python3 -m cantools generate_c_source --no-floating-point-numbers tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc
Successfully generated motohawk.h and motohawk.c.
See `motohawk_no_floating_point_numbers.h`_ and
`motohawk_no_floating_point_numbers.c`_ for the contents of the
generated files.
In the last example ``--node`` is used to generate
message pack functions only for messages sent by the specified node and unpack
functions only for messages with its signal receivers belonging to that node.
.. code-block:: text
$ cantools generate_c_source tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc --node PCM1
Successfully generated motohawk.h and motohawk.c.
See `motohawk_sender_node.h`_ and
`motohawk_sender_node.c`_ for the contents of the
generated files.

- https://github.com/howerj/dbcc
- https://github.com/lonkamikaze/hsk-libs/blob/master/scripts/dbc2c.awk
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/comframe/
The monitor subcommand
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Monitor CAN bus traffic in a text based user interface.
.. code-block:: text
$ python3 -m cantools monitor tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc
.. image:: https://github.com/cantools/cantools/raw/master/docs/monitor.png
The menu at the bottom of the monitor shows the available commands.
- Quit: Quit the monitor. Ctrl-C can be used as well.
- Filter: Only display messages matching given regular
expression. Press <Enter> to return to the menu from the filter
input line.
- Play/Pause: Toggle between playing and paused (or running and freezed).
- Reset: Reset the monitor to its initial state.

styles with\n\n.. code-block:: bash\n\n $ cantools plot --list-styles . | sed -n '/^- /s/^- //p' | while IFS= read -r style; do\n cat candump-2021-01-04_180521.log | cantools plot tests/files/dbc/abs.dbc --style \"$style\" --title \"--style '$style'\"\n done\n\nFor more information see\n\n.. code-block:: bash\n\n $ python3 -m cantools plot --help\n\nNote that by default matplotlib is not installed with cantools. But it can be by specifying an extra\nat installation:\n\n.. code-block:: bash\n\n $ python3 -m pip install cantools[plot]\n\nThe dump subcommand\n^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n\nDump given database in a human readable format:\n\n.. code-block:: text\n\n $ python3 -m cantools dump tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc\n ================================= Messages =================================\n\n ------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n Name: ExampleMessage\n Id: 0x1f0\n Length: 8 bytes\n Cycle time: - ms\n Senders: PCM1\n Layout:\n\n Bit\n\n 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0\n +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+\n 0 |<-x|<---------------------x|<--|\n +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+\n | +-- AverageRadius\n +-- Enable\n +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+\n 1 |-------------------------------|\n +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+\n 2 |----------x| | | | | |\n B +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+\n y +-- Temperature\n t +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+\n e 3 | | | | | | | | |\n +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+\n 4 | | | | | | | | |\n +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+\n 5 | | | | | | | | |\n +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+\n 6 | | | | | | | | |\n +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+\n 7 | | | | | | | | |\n +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+\n\n Signal tree:\n\n -- {root}\n +-- Enable\n +-- AverageRadius\n +-- Temperature\n\n Signal choices:\n\n Enable\n 0 Disabled\n 1 Enabled\n\n ------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe list subcommand\n^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n\nPrint all information of a given database in a human readable\nformat. This is very similar to the \"dump\" subcommand, but the output\nis less pretty, slightly more comprehensive and easier to parse by\nshell scripts:\n\n.. code-block:: bash\n\n $ python3 -m cantools list -a tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc\n ExampleMessage:\n Comment[None]: Example message used as template in MotoHawk models.\n Frame ID: 0x1f0 (496)\n Size: 8 bytes\n Is extended frame: False\n Signals:\n Enable:\n Type: Integer\n Start bit: 7\n Length: 1 bits\n Unit: -\n Is signed: False\n Named values:\n 0: Disabled\n\nThe generate C source subcommand\n^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n\nGenerate `C` source code from given database.\n\nThe generated code contains:\n\n- Message `structs`_.\n\n- Message `pack`_ and `unpack`_ functions.\n\n- Signal `encode`_ and `decode`_ functions.\n\n- Frame id, length, type, cycle time and signal choices `defines`_.\n\nKnown limitations:\n\n- The maximum signal size is 64 bits, which in practice is never\n exceeded.\n\nBelow is an example of how to generate C source code from a\ndatabase. The database is ``tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc``.\n\n.. code-block:: text\n\n $ python3 -m cantools generate_c_source tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc\n Successfully generated motohawk.h and motohawk.c.\n\nSee `motohawk.h`_ and `motohawk.c`_ for the contents of the generated\nfiles.\n\nIn this example we use ``--use-float`` so floating point numbers in the generated\ncode are single precision (``float``) instead of double precision (``double``).\n\n.. code-block:: text\n\n $ python3 -m cantools generate_c_source --use-float tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc\n Successfully generated motohawk.h and motohawk.c.\n\nIn the next example we use ``--database-name`` to set a custom\nnamespace for all generated types, defines and functions. The output\nfile names are also changed by this option.\n\n.. code-block:: text\n\n $ python3 -m cantools generate_c_source --database-name my_database_name tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc\n Successfully generated my_database_name.h and my_database_name.c.\n\nSee `my_database_name.h`_ and `my_database_name.c`_ for the contents\nof the generated files.\n\nIn the next example we use ``--no-floating-point-numbers`` to generate\ncode without floating point types, i.e. ``float`` and ``double``.\n\n.. code-block:: text\n\n $ python3 -m cantools generate_c_source --no-floating-point-numbers tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc\n Successfully generated motohawk.h and motohawk.c.\n\nSee `motohawk_no_floating_point_numbers.h`_ and\n`motohawk_no_floating_point_numbers.c`_ for the contents of the\ngenerated files.\n\nIn the last example ``--node`` is used to generate\nmessage pack functions only for messages sent by the specified node and unpack\nfunctions only for messages with its signal receivers belonging to that node. \n\n.. code-block:: text\n\n $ cantools generate_c_source tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc --node PCM1\n Successfully generated motohawk.h and motohawk.c.\n\nSee `motohawk_sender_node.h`_ and\n`motohawk_sender_node.c`_ for the contents of the\ngenerated files.\n\nOther C code generators:\n\n- http://www.coderdbc.com\n\n- https://github.com/howerj/dbcc\n\n- https://github.com/lonkamikaze/hsk-libs/blob/master/scripts/dbc2c.awk\n\n- https://sourceforge.net/projects/comframe/\n\nThe monitor subcommand\n^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n\nMonitor CAN bus traffic in a text based user interface.\n\n.. code-block:: text\n\n $ python3 -m cantools monitor tests/files/dbc/motohawk.dbc\n\n.. image:: https://github.com/cantools/cantools/raw/master/docs/monitor.png\n\nThe menu at the bottom of the monitor shows the available commands.\n\n- Quit: Quit the monitor. Ctrl-C can be used as well.\n\n- Filter: Only display messages matching given regular\n expression. Press <Enter> to return to the menu from the filter\n input line.\n\n- Play/Pause: Toggle between playing and paused (or running and freezed).\n\n- Reset: Reset the monitor to its initial state.\n\nContributing\n============\n\n#. Fork the repository.\n\n#. Install prerequisites.\n\n .. code-block:: text\n\n python3 -m pip install -e .[dev]\n\n#. Implement the new feature or bug fix.\n\n#.
