PYthon _CAN

Mahaveer_HanumanShare — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 08:46:22 GMT

Hi every one,
I am new to this python programming.
Recently, I have started working with python programming to communicate with PCAN-usb.
I was able to Initialize PCAN, write message but i am unable to receive the data from it.
__________________________
but while using the PCAN view I am able to write and read the data but not with python programming.
I am expecting the following data when a particular message is send as shown below.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]32727[/ATTACH]
____________________________________________
can you please help out to fix this issue in my programming.

                                                         Thankingyou

I admit to not having heard of PYCAN before, but is this related to ArcGIS? I'm wondering if maybe you thought this was a general Python forum, but it's intended for python coding in ArcGIS, a GIS mapping software.

My apologies if I'm wrong, just don't see anything GIS related in your code.
