Diagnostics

When you receive your Pilot device it is shipped with a standard configuration that allows you to collect real-world information and deliver this information onto a CAN bus without having to change anything. It just works. Ok, it "just works" if your CAN bus is running at the same speed... and your data logger is configured correctly... and so on. If you do run into problems then the as-shipped configuration can actually make diagnosing conditions more complicated. For example, if you are trying to see "good" heart rate data in your logger output then firstly you need the wearable nearby; second, someone needs to be wearing it; and then, you need to confirm in the logged data that you see heart rate values... that you weren't really sure of what they we - the engineer's heart rate was "probably about 70bpm then look for 70ish numbers in the data.

To make things easier, we provide some diagnostic configurations that output predictable and/or stable values.

CAN Endianness
 261 Byte
 2023-04-14

This configuration is useful to diagnose byte and bit ordering of CAN messages. It does this by outputting a fixed value spread across differently bit sized values.

CAN Simple Numbers
 305 Byte
 2023-04-14

This config outputs the numbers 1 to 8 as bytes in a CAN message.
