- Install
python-canwith theneoviextras: pip install python-ics[neovi]
- Install
Configuration#
An example can.ini file for windows 7:
[default]
interface = neovi
channel = 1
Bus#
- class can.interfaces.ics_neovi.NeoViBus(channel, can_filters=None, **kwargs)[source]#
The CAN Bus implemented for the python_ics interface https://github.com/intrepidcs/python_ics
- Parameters:
channel (int or str or list(int) or list(str)) – The channel ids to create this bus with. Can also be a single integer, netid name or a comma separated string.

use_system_timestamp (bool) – Use system timestamp for can messages instead of the hardware time stamp
serial (str) – Serial to connect (optional, will use the first found if not supplied)
bitrate (int) – Channel bitrate in bit/s. (optional, will enable the auto bitrate feature if not supplied)
fd (bool) – If CAN-FD frames should be supported.
data_bitrate (int) – Which bitrate to use for data phase in CAN FD. Defaults to arbitration bitrate.
override_library_name – Absolute path or relative path to the library including filename.
- Raises:
ImportError – If python-ics is not available
CanInitializationError – If the bus could not be set up. May or may not be a
ICSInitializationError.
- exception can.interfaces.ics_neovi.ICSApiError(error_code, description_short, description_long, severity, restart_needed)[source]#
