Virtual CAN

소개

Virtual CAN creates a simulation environment to surface vehicle CAN/OBD data for Large Language Models (LLMs) and Small Language Models (SLMs). It simulates ECUs on a virtual CAN bus, decodes data using a DBC file, and exposes a suite of Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools via Server-Sent Events (SSE). This allows developers to interact with simulated vehicle data, monitor signals, decode frames, and integrate directly with LLM hosts for natural language interaction with vehicle diagnostics, all without needing physical hardware.

주요 기능

• Performs DBC-driven encoding and decoding of CAN messages
• Exposes CAN/OBD data and DBC metadata to LLMs/SLMs as MCP tools over SSE
• Provides a comprehensive Typer CLI for CAN frame interaction, decoding, and monitoring
• 1 GitHub stars
