Recoil USB-CAN Adapter

This adapter follows the python-can serial bus API packet format to transmit CAN frames over UART.

Recoil Motor Controller Communication Format

The CAN ID is separated into two fields, device_id and func_id.

func ID	device ID
5 bits	6 bits
CAN_ID[10:6]	CAN_ID[5:0]
32 functions	64 devices

Usage

COM_PORT = "COMx"  # COM port of the dongle

bus = can.Bus(interface="serial", channel=COM_PORT, baudrate=1000000)
