That's ... actually ... a good idea ... Yeah it is supposed to be spinning from the motor but it can also be used as a drive for electric only (I think, unsure ...

Are you manually packing/unpacking the can messages? Or are you using the cantools library at all? What issues are you having exactly?

I am manually encoding the ...

Thanks to uhi22 and bananaman for your returns :)

So yes, the CRC has been implemented and I think it works (at least for some frames) as I can change torque limits in the motor. One difference with the code proposed by squidopolis is that theirs uses another "magic byte" to add another calculation ...
