The verbose mode of the Frankfurt RS-232 CAN4VSCP adapter makes it easy to diagnose a CAN4VSCP bus without any other tools other than the adapter and a terminal program. Registers can be read/written on remote nodes, the interfaces opened in listen, normal and loopback mode and you can even search nodes on the bus. And in addition to the loopback mode there is the CAN4VSCP driver mode which works with the VSCP Daemon and VSCP Works and SLCAN mode which works with SocketCan on Linux.
Time to test.

And every such donations therefore not just helps the project but also warms my heart.

ps You may say “What is a little fat bee in a world of giraffes and elephants and other big animals”. Well noting of course if you never take the time to look at it a little bit closer. But if you do then you will find out that size is’t all that matters when it comes to the miracles of the world. Many small bees working togehter weigh more than an elephant. Thats just plain facts. ds
