@TMJJ001 I would not run this software on your PC - how would it communicate over canbus? Instead you can provide the possibility to connect to this software (server) over network and then write client software for your PC which connects to your server software on the embedded device.

@koahnig You are confusing Industrial Protocol with Internet Protocol. EtherNet/IP is an industry standard based of CIP used in build automation in assembly lines. This is the protocol used by most (if not all) Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). @MMRtheDeveloper we've been using https://github.com/EIPStackGroup/OpENer in our Qt app to talk to our PLC. However, EtherNet/IP is proprietary and even if OpENer is open source, you still need to buy a license from ODVA. I don't think there is anything else out there already made or adapted for Qt.
