Getting started with ixxat CAN driver

MrShawn

Hi, I found this driver for ixxat usb devices. I am not sure where to begin. I opened and built the qbs file but I am not sure that did anything for me. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

do you have the device?? if not you have to purchase it

after that, you have to connect it to your computer and start playing with it...

I do have the device yes. I am trying to use QtCanBus capabilities with the device. I am trying to figure out how to do that and that is when I ran into that driver.

Something like:

QCanBusDevice *mCanDevice = QCanBus::instance()->createDevice(QStringLiteral("ixxat-driver"),QStringLiteral("can0.0"),&errString);

Just look on the QtSerialBus sources and try to create an own plugin by analogy. You can also contribute this new plugin into QtSerialBus module to share for other folks.

Hi, I implemented a simple driver for the missing PLUGIN for IXXAT USB adapter. It is freely available here:
