Working example on Visual Studio

Hi, I have received RKS+CAN cable and found, that KCANMonitor is not very comfortable in my situation. Is it possible to get a working example on Visaul Studio 2010 or 2012? The existing project is not compatible and after trying to port it I am getting project error.
One more question, is it possible to use RKS-USB.DLL in visual C#? Maybe it is possible to get example?

thanks

And what version of software should I use, to make it possible to build that example.
1>c:\users\hp\desktop\example\example\stdafx.h(23) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'afxwin.h': No such file or directory

I get this error at the moment.

Hi,

what exactly is your problem? The project is intentionally in an "old" format (Visual Studio 2008) because every newer Microsoft Visual Studio version could easly migrate it to its version: This allows to use Visual Studio 2008, 2010, 2012 or 2015.

Just install Visual Studio 2015 RC Community Edition plus Multibyte MFC Library for Visual Studio 2015 RC and you can start. For free!

Zitat:

1>c:\users\hp\desktop\example\example\stdafx.h(23) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'afxwin.h': No such file or directory

Please don't do nonsense. Just open the project solution, Visual Studio will ask for conversion, say "yes, do it" and compile.

Best, Rainer

Thanks, this information I was looking for. I was trying to compile it using VS express, but it is missing some components. Now it is working.

I have some more question:

//Set the timeouts for reading / writing data to the RKS+CAN interface.
BOOL RKSSetTimeouts(DWORD dwMsTimeoutRead, DWORD dwMsTimeoutWrite);

1. Do I understand correctly? If I set this value to RKSSetTimeouts(200,200) and fifo is empty, every function RKSCANRx() read will take 200ms? And If I want to read it without delay read timeout should be 0?

2. What are the MIN and MAX values of dwMsTimeoutRead and dwMsTimeoutWrite? DWORD?

3. What is the size of a TX and RX queue? If I read this function periodically, faster than fifo get full, I should be fine on handling all received CAN data?

// Get one CAN message from the receive queue, RKSCANOpen(...) must have
// been called before. Returns TRUE on success.
extern 'C' __declspec(dllexport) BOOL RKSCANRx(can_msg_t* pMsg);

1.) No. If a function is able to deliver data, it returns immediately. If not, it waits the specified timeout value and gives up then (returns).
2.) I don't know the maximum values and it is not really important: These values specify timeouts for read or write access of operations between the Winusb device driver and the device hardware. The minimum value (read+write) is 0ms, which makes no sense. It makes no sense to wait more than some seconds for an answer to the device. Just keep the default values. Why should anyone give the driver e.g. 10minutes to get a reply from the USB hardware?
3.) The CAN hardware uses 32 CAN frames FIFO buffers. Writing to the hardware is NOT buffered by the device driver itself. Reading is buffered as list, no message will be lost as long there is enough memory to store it and you do not close the connection.
Practically, you don't need to care about that. Nothing gets lost.

A C# interface / example for the RKS+CAN hardware is in progress and available on request.
