Purpose of the Project
This software was developed to provide a high-performance solution for monitoring and simulating Controller Area Network (CAN) traffic. The primary goal is to allow users to decode raw bus data using DBC databases and to simulate Electronic Control Units (ECUs) by sending cyclic or manual messages.
We chose this architectural approach to ensure that the time-critical nature of CAN communication is handled in a background layer, while the user interface remains responsive and intuitive for diagnostics.

System Previews
Monitoring Interface
The monitoring module captures incoming CAN frames and uses the loaded DBC configuration to translate hex data into physical values (such as Temperature or RPM).
Simulation and Sending
Users can define messages to be sent over the bus. The system supports a mode for bit-level composition and a signal-based mode for parameter adjustment via the user interface.
