| Subject: Kvaser CAN cable question Wed Sep 25, 2013 1:10 pm | |
| Does the software use a specific API or driver for the Kvaser cable, or does it use a generic Windows USB driver to connect to the USB side of the Kvaser cable?
Also, if the 701 can accept RS-485 communication ... how is that enabled? | |

| Finally got an answer ... the software uses a driver specific to the Kvaser cable to communicate with the Kvaser uC and mcp chips. It will not work with any other cable because of this ... boooooo. - turbosupra wrote:

| That's exactly what they said about video and HDMI cables when they first came out and were $150 dollars - Admin wrote:

You don't want bad data being transferred through a lesser cable. What does an HDMI cable have to do with anything? You get noise on your tv, the worst thing that happens is a pixle drops. In our case, it puts a .02 where you wanted something else, and you blow up your engine. Not exactly the same thing. | |
