2023-03-21 00:23:16,808 INFO [virtualcan::server] Starting virtual can server at: 0.0.0.0:18881

Iam Using VS code to run the Python example file,
Once i run this I am getting below error

[Running] python -u "e:\Data\00_Projects\SiriAB\VCAN.py"

I think the interface should be virtual instead of virtualcan
bus = can.Bus(interface='virtual', channel='localhost:18881').. Once i change i see in the terminal as Done..

If I want to send the CAN data and see the data that is being sent ...
Do you have any example file to see like CAN Tx and Rx ?

[windelbouwman]

After installing virtualcan as a python module, you should use something like:

bus = can.Bus(bustype="virtualcan", channel="localhost:18881")
bus.send(can.Message(data=bytes([1, 2]))
print(bus.recv())

Note that virtual and virtualcan are different CAN drivers.
