Is it possible to drive inputs to the S6 Plus through CAN bus frame values?
For example if I wanted to drive Engine Load (for idle up), or GPS position and G sensors into the S6 via CAN bus.
I am able to send out the data I need and customer the CAN payload from another device, I just want to make the S6 receive and act on it.
Thanks in advance.

Re: CAN bus as inputs
GPS and motion sensor data is easily read in - look at the manual for the Syvecs GPS module and all the CAN information is clearly laid out.
Since the S6+ is based on the S6 main module with a built-in I/O expander, the only way to get any other data in is via the expander. This needs the internal CAN bridge to be programmed to map the required data to slave inputs - and there is no customer software tool for this meaning Syvecs will have to do it for you (for a fee I imagine).
S7+ is better as, like the S8, it natively supports generic CAN receive.

Arh, I'll take a look at the GPS manual.
