== Step 1: Downloading Necessary Files ==

BusMaster can be found at the following location: [https://rbei-etas.github.io/busmaster/ BusMaster]

[[Image:Busmaster dl.png|center|700px]]

----

You will also need to download VS2013 and MinGW. The links are available after you download the BusMaster Installer

[[Image:Busmaster dl2.png|center|700px]]

----

PCAN Dongle Drivers can be found here: [https://gridconnect.com/pcan/can-adapters/can-usb.html Drivers]

[[Image:Pcan driverrs instal2.png|center|700px]]

The correct file for the drivers will be in the usb.zip file and is named: PeakOemDrv.exe

[[Image:Pcan driverrs instal1.png|center|700px]]

== Step 2: Installing ==

# Install VS2013, MinGW, BusMaster, and PCAN Drivers with all default values.

== Step 3: Setting up BusMaster ==

# Open BusMaster

# Under the '''CAN''' menu go to '''Driver Selection''' and select '''PEAK USB'''

 While working on your project understanding what is happening on the CAN bus is extremely important. While there are many ways to monitor this data flow (logging, debug statements, etc.), one of the most useful methods allows you to monitor this traffic in real time. BusMaster is a CAN tracing tool which logs and displays all information on the CAN bus in an extremely easy to use GUI. This page will show you what is needed in order to set up BusMaster and how to use some of the program's basic functionality.

 Now that we are receiving messages the next step is to get them to decode properly. That way we can see the physical values of the messages instead of the hex values of the raw data frames. To do this we need to attach a database file to this configuration. Since the '''DBC''' file format is proprietary BusMaster uses a similar file type called '''DBF''' instead. However, BusMaster comes with a function that will allow us to convert DBC files to DBF files. Please follow the instructions below to convert your file and attach it to this instance.

 # Now would be a good time to save you configuration in case your settings get reset so that you do not have to reconfigure BusMaster.
