What's Changed

The new 7.0.0 version of the Battery-Emulator is now available. The amount of work put in by everyone involved has been massive. We now have official support for the Stark CMR hardware, and a shiny new CAN handler that will make scaling the project up to the next level way more manageable. Massive thanks to everyone that has been reporting bugs, testing, coding and in other ways contributing to make the emulator shine. 🙌

Taking v7.X.X into use

There are new configurable parameters in the USER_SETTINGS files.

The CAN configuration needs to be set incase you are running extra CAN channels attached to the board. Via this new configuration option, you can define what is connected to which CAN channel. Some components are OK with sharing a CAN channel, others need a dedicated channel. The new CAN configuration also allows you to connect normal CAN devices to a CAN-FD interface. Simply enable the USE_CANFD_INTERFACE_AS_CLASSIC_CAN option in the USER_SETTINGS incase this functionality is desired. There is a whole lot more flexibility with the newconfiguration CAN configuration interface!
