Can comms timout

Postby karel021 on Thu Mar 21, 2024 5:09 am

Hi just followed the tutorial on youtube when it comes to creating the dbc files.

i have then loaded that into DC and check the config so it has no issues and loaded it to the dash.

i do get can comms timout now any ideas?

Hi,

Which tutorial did you watch?

The dbc file should be imported into the Dash Manager, and then the Dash Manager creates a dbc file that is linked in Display Creator. What it sounds like you have happening is that the Dash Manager configuration does not match the Display Creator configuration, so the communications are not established.

Hey Stephen.

i did watch this one -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwllFYmbyew

i took the existing working config of dash manager and changed the page as show in the video, picked my "188" channels" and then saved as.

Started DC and imported dbc file from that save.

Stephen its solved.

had to download the dash manager config once more time.

ps. i have 2 can buttons running on GP11 and GP12 for next page and page line.

could you guide me how to setup a counter so or is that needed?
right now the button only displays next page while holding.

Hi,

I use the Up/Down counter function in the dash to create a counter.

Which is then used to select the page.
