Send Repeat CAN

Use this script when you want the same repeated CAN test flow as the basic sender, but with more guardrails while entering values.

What it does

It prompts for the serial adapter, CAN ID, payload bytes, and delay, validates the inputs, and then sends the frame repeatedly.

How to use it

  1. Run the script.
  2. Enter the connection settings.
  3. Enter the CAN ID.
  4. Enter the eight payload bytes.
  5. Enter the repeat delay.
  6. Let it run until you stop it or change the configuration.

Good fit for

  • repeated bench tests where you want fewer input mistakes
  • checking how an ECU behaves under a steady message stream
  • test sessions where you need a stricter prompt flow than the basic sender

Notes

If you are doing a quick one-off transmission, the simpler sender may be faster. If you want fewer mistakes at the prompt, use this one.
