The definitive ROS CAN analysis tool.

decanstructor's Issues

Option to display data in binary

Maybe just per-column, so things aren't too wide. Would be nice to have the same color coding applied to individual bits, to see them change.

Allow Removal of Individual Messages from Main Grid

Populate the list of messages in the right-hand selection box and remove a message from the main grid if its box is ticked.

Fix Table Flashing on New Message

Because of the way messages are stored internally and how the whole table is redrawn when a new message is adding, there is a disconcerting amount of "flashing" that happens on connection to a new CAN bus. This could be much better.

Create ROS2 Version

ROS2 is becoming the de-facto for new ROS installations. Time for an upgrade.

Event Published Fade Sometimes Gets "Stuck"

So far only seen when publishing manually with rostopic pub. Not yet tested with rosbag containing events.

Add Message Analysis Mode

This would ideally include many features such as bit-level analysis (see issue #2), bit/byte plotting, signal conversion, etc. However, this issue is just to add the overall mode.

Note to self: don't forget to stop updating (but not adding to) the main grid while in this mode.

Fixed width fields

Make all CAN bytes two hex digits

Remapping a Topic Causes Crash on Close

Create Playback Mode with Event Triggers

During logging and playback, the ability to emit and view (respectively) time-synchronized event triggers could be invaluable for post-recording analysis. This ticket is to add a "Playback Mode". In real-time mode (the default), a button would be available to trigger the emission of an event message on a given topic. In playback mode, the button would be replaced with an indicator that subscribes to the same topic and alerts the user when a trigger was fired in the log.

Switch to Custom wxGridTable

Using a custom GridTable that stores values as integers and retrieves them as formatted strings would not only safe memory but cut down on processor usage.

Allow Sorting by CAN ID

Give the ability to sort incoming messages by CAN ID in the main grid.
