Drive simulator

This project simulates a electric motor drive and the data that could be received/delivered from such device. It has custom messages developed for a electronic fishing boat. The simulators simulate the behavior that the real drive should use.

It is intended to be used with either a serial port or a physical CAN Bus. See above for usage.

The project is at a prototyping state, not intended to be used in production environnement, this tool is intended as an instructional tool on how to use CAN bus on python based code.

Creator

We are a group of student from Sherbrooke's university that tries to do a prototype of a 100% electronic fishing boat. To learn more about us, visit our website.

Dependencies

  • It uses the python-can library to facilitate CAN Messaging.
  • python 3.3
  • It uses a float16 representation python implementation taken from the David E. Jones website

Useful commands

Starting the simulator

sudo python3 main.py

Using the unit tests

python3 -m unittest

A virtual can bus can be used under linux for testing the application without connecting to a hardware can bus.

sudo modprobe vcan
sudo ip link add dev vcan0 type vcan
sudo ifconfig vcan0 up

Possible improvements

  • Add variation in data (ex:rpm=[4500,5000,5500]).
  • Add a state machine for the internal state of the drive and kill-switch (On, Off).
  • Receive RPM command and use results.
