Standard CAN broadcast
Standard CAN broadcast for RaceCapture and PodiumConnect
The following describes the standardized broadcast messages for RaceCapture and PodiumConnect devices.
- Byte ordering: Little Endian
Alert Messages
This describes the CAN format for Pit to Car alert messages.
Messages are broadcasted in ASCII character format, with a maximum of 16 characters across two CAN messages.
Alert Messages are broadcast on CAN1.
Message priority is 0 - 2, with 0 = normal priority used for pit-to car alerts, and 1 - 2 reserved for future use.
Base address: 0xA100 (41216)
Address for message is calculated by the base address offset by priority:
- Priority 0 address: 0xA100 (41216) / 0xA101 (41217)
- Priority 1 address: 0xA102 (41218) / 0xA103 (41219)
- Priority 2 address: 0xA104 (41220) / 0xA105 (41221)
| CAN ID | Byte 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base Address | message character 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Base Address + 1 | message character 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 |
