Firmware suggestions?

General Discussion
#1

My M2 arrives Monday so I’m starting to look into getting up and running. Which firmware are people running or are people rolling their own and messing around with some of the libraries?

My immediate goal is to sniff some CAN messages to find the messages for button presses on the steering wheel. Anyone interfacing with SavvyCAN? It looks like SavvyCAN works with this firmware https://github.com/collin80/GVRET. Has anyone given this a try?

I’m not too married to SavvyCAN if people have suggestions for other viewing CAN bus traffic on a computer.

What version of firmware are we using?

SavvyCan is a great place to start! In fact, Collin (author of the excellent CAN library, SavvyCAN, GVRET, etc) has been working with M2 for a while now. He forked his GVRET code to work with M2 here:

Which revision of M2ret are you using successfully? I pulled the latest (master from today), got all the recommended libraries and got it compiled and uploaded to the M2.

But I don’t see any frames in savvycan. If I use the serial monitor I see it initialize and report there’s no SD card. Savvycan says it’s connected, but I see no traffic.

What version and settings were used in this YouTube video https://youtu.be/xxYcsptzg_E ? I’m trying to connect to a 2006 Mercury Milan, so everything should be the same settings-wise.
