Hello to everyone,
I am new to this forum and that's my first post. I'm a student of mechanical engineering and I will start with my bachelor thesis in a few weeks.
What I have to do is create a tablet application for an electric vehicle to display all the information about battery state of charge, motor speed/load, remaining operation time, temperatures etc.
I am planning to try this with Basic4Android because Java in my opinion leads to just an unnecessary huge amout of work which most likly won't let me finish my thesis until the end of June this year.
I am not fully decided yet, and therefore I would like to ask you guys if you could me give some basic input on whether it will be possible to do what I opt for.
1. question: Can I read and write USB protocols? I will use a CAN to USB adapter and then want to implement the features I mentioned. (I know the CAN protocol since I write it on my own in CODESYS)
2. question: Can I also send data back to the CAN bus via adapter (e.g. change motor speed, battery charging current, etc.) via an app programmed in Basic4Android?
I hope an "expert" in this forum can tell me if such is possible with Basic4Android or not. Really exicted and looking forward to start with that project in the next weeks.
Thank you very much for your effort!!
- Marco
