Qt5 plugin for the CLX000 CAN logger/interface

This project contains source code for a Qt5 Serial Bus module plugin. The purpose is to allow the CLX000 CAN bus data logger & interface from CSS Electronics to stream data into applications utilizing the Qt5 Serial Bus framework (e.g. SavvyCAN).

Building

If not targeting a system-wide Qt installation, the vcpkg (integrated as a git submodule) can be utilized. Current configuration is only enabled for CMake.

Building with vcpkg

First, bootstrap the vcpkg installation in the submodule.

./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh

Create a folder for out-of-tree building, and configure cmake.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake ..

During configuration, all required dependencies should be downloaded, built and installed locally in the vcpkg folder. After configuration, build the plugin with

cmake --build --target clx000canbus

---

Installation

System-wide usage

Copy the module to the system Qt5 installation into the plugins/canbus directory.

Application local usage.

Create the same structure as above under the applications plugins folders, such that the module is present in plugins_folder/canbus. The application must have been built with the local path for loading modules.
