Target Platforms

POSIX® compatible operating systems:

1. macOS®

1. Windows 10 Pro

CAN Hardware

• Lawicel CANUSB (Hardware 1.0, Firmware 1.1)

Known Bugs and Caveats

1. Transmitting messages over the TTY is extremely slow; approx. 16ms per frame.
   I guess this is because the transmission is acknowledged by the CAN device.

2. Time-stamps are currently not supported.

3. Python Ctrl+C issue on Linux still unsolved.
