Wow I bet your wife is a good cook as well. Very interesting I am also keen to read the SevconGen 4 Canbus data. I have my system network set up for charging and managing my LiFePo4 battery pack using Canbus. But would also like to get data out of the controller and motor. I was thinking about adding a OBD-II automotive plug into my network and trying a ELM-USB with some free software to connect to a PC. Open CPN sounds interesting as well, let us know how it goes.

Hey, so my wife just wrote (is still tinkering with) some software to read the CAN bus data from a Sevcon Gen4 controller and display it on a PC screen or pull it into Open CPN and have it across the top of the chart plotter screen (or anywhere else). She has it display motor rpm, motor temperature, motor current, battery voltage, current power draw (in watts) and total energy used (in watt-hr).
We have initially used the rather expensive recommended CAN bus to usb converter from Digikey but there are much cheaper $20 versions which should work, we just have not bought and tested those yet. She also plans to interface through CAN to the Trojan Trillium LiFePO4 batteries if we get some of those.
Kind regards Mick 0414 264 312
