Describe your changes
Adds the VSCAN plugin (made by VSCOM) that works with several devices. It utilizes CANUSB/SLCAN interface over ASCII protocol.
It requires you to set the 'VSCAN_API_DIR' environment variable to the API SDK directory that contains the
.h
,.lib
files. Furthermore, you need to putvs_can_api.dll
in the same directory as the executable.How has this been tested?
Tested this with a WiCAN-USB adapter over the TCP connection. The adapter was set to AP mode and I directly connected to it over wifi. No problems uploading the seeder example, nor any issues going through the example. Note that the busload here is fairly low here, as only the VT, TC and seeder example were running in a controlled environment.
I don't recommend to use any adapter over a wireless connection in a production environment, but for testing or datalogging it can be useful.
