MGL RDAC

[e100]

I need to interface to an MGL RDAC, if anyone has some existing code that would be nice.
If not, is anyone else interested in such a plugin? What features do you need?

I was thinking the plugin should not only get data from the RDAC over the CAN bus, but also be able to impersonate an RDAC and send data on the CAN bus.
Being able to send data as an RDAC would be quite useful for anyone who has MGL equipment.

I only have an RDAC XG to test with but the plugin should work with the XF model too.

Hello @e100
I have two devices:

1. RDAC Vb(Bottom)
2. RDAC XB(Right)

How can this help you?
I definitely need to understand the protocols, because... I wanted to connect devices to PyEfis.
I also managed to download firmware dumps from the devices, but I will not check them yet by re-uploading them to the devices, because ... I'm afraid they will stop working.
Of course, I can’t get the source code, although I tried to disassemble the downloaded *hex dumps.

Unfortunately these legacy devices are not supported in fix gateway. I did add a plugin for the RDAC XG and XF that communicate using CAN bus.

Eric - you've done fantastic work on pyEfis. I have an RDAC XF (based somewhat on Phil B having one). I'm now wanting to implement your great work. One thing I noticed is that you did not implement "CURRENT" in message type 8 (bytes 6-8). I'm new to github and don't know hot to make the change for fear of breaking something. In any case, I plan to implement pyEfis with redundant servers in my Sonerai IILS. Thanks for all the work!

Thanks
I'm not sure why I didn't implement that, I plan to have a current sensor.... so I'll take a look.
Things are quite hectic at the moment but when I have an hour or two to spare I'll get to it. Have a couple other things that need a little attention too.

@EdB987 CURRENT should be fixed now
