Not an issue, a word of wonder!

Just wow 👍 This is an amazing creation indeed. Whoever you are that built this, you put loads of work into it and I love it to bits.

It took a bit of tinkering to get off the ground, had to install some dependencies and then build it again as the prebuilt linux/ubuntu version had some QML / QT issues that was stopping the QML executor from working which after many hours figured out, but that is the real world right.

But over the last 2 days I have logged a complete VAG power train databus, worked out all the different repeat packets, then created either CanRawSender items for the static packets.... and more importantly for all the ones with sequential heartbeats wrote a wicked script for the QML Executor which now mimics things like the engine ECU, the cluster, the ABS.... then when I plug in the auto transmission module it thinks the whole car is running !!

I can't believe how good this software is, and its got almost zero publicity at all, although I have been looking for something like this for the last five years on an off.

It works perfectly with a CANable 2.0 adapter in linux Mint using the SocketCAN stuff. Plug it in and follow the getting started commands on here https://canable.io/getting-started.html

The instruction on your project front page for downloading the git and building etc were totally fantastic and perfect, this was all a very acheivable task for an pretty rubbish linus end user like me, and I think I will make a little youtube video about building my VAG powertrain simulator in CANdevStudio as I'm sure other people would love an intro to this sort of software tool.

Thank you for CANDevStudio, it totally rocks 🥇
