It's nice and simple if AMS can tell you what format they expect the data to be in, and if they ahve particular ID's they want etc. or even better if its configurable.
Might start a thread where I brain dump what I know of CAN

Can't imagine many Novas using Can
I'd even send you some beer money, knowledge is valuable!

Just stalked the kit you have from MOTEC and their documents, seems they are well setup for CAN (makes sense really) just a little vague as to how their software sets it up, but its not hard to spy on the network if you fancy dropping another £250 on a KVASER CAN-USB interface from sweden (https://www.kvaser.com/product/kvaser-leaf-light-hs-v2/), then you have a very useful tool for watching whats going on in there to make NLR's job way easier :D
Oh wow, KVASER updated their site with this gem
https://www.kvaser.com/can-protocol-tutorial/
I'm not writing anything now
The only caveat I'd put on the MOTEC docs is that they say you need a 100ohm resistor between CAN H and CAN L, but 120ohm is the "norm" for very stable operation.
How does that work then?
I assume that's a 'sniffer' that I've heard of.
Connect it to the bus and it detects messages ?

pretty much, you can also send messages too if you want to test something
No idea if there are cheaper/homebrew tools like this but as far as "industry" goes, Kvaser are the cheapest while still being regarded as good. Dont even look at Vector prices
Had a CAN discussion today, he refused to say BUS too
I think network and bus are very similar items without getting into the nitty gritty of there definitions.
Also got into a huge and rather heated Facebook post over wether I need the AMS boost controller and why the MoTec can't do it alone.
Too much to fully explain here unless someone actually gives a damn.
Spoke with the owner of NLR who make the AMS and CAN is last on his list to do, annoyingly
But on another note (and project), I got the Broon Loon home

Whats the plans for the brown loon
Id love one
Breaking it, I've got a brand new saloon shell to build, this brown one only has 14k miles and been in a garage since 97, everything is like new, except the chassis.

Is the shell goosed like mate . Only ever had one loon and sold it dirt cheap always wanted another
Lol why you needs extra boost controlzzzzzz tbh I wondered too, but don't care as its your build and your plans etc so if it works it works.
shame nlr aren't looking at CANI'd offer help if he wants etc
