CAN replay

What is the CAN replay useful for?~

The Battery-Emulator can replay CAN and CAN-FD log files, making it a powerful reverse engineering tool. This feature is useful when working with a new unsupported battery, and makes it easy to replay a vehicle log to for example try to get contactor closing to function. This makes it more accessible especially on the CAN-FD side, where previously you would have to spend lots of money on CAN tools. Now just use the Battery-Emulator hardware!

How to use the CAN replay feature~

Access the feature via the Webserver, and click the "CAN Replay" button.

IMPORTANT

The log file needs to be a .txt CANdump format (same format the CAN logging feature uses)

The CANdump format looks like this:

(28291.286) TX1 1F2 [8] 10 64 00 B0 00 1E 00 8F

CAUTION

Working with high voltage is dangerous. Always follow local laws and regulations regarding high voltage work. If you are unsure about the rules in your country, consult a licensed electrician for more information.
