The Pykarbon Project

The Pykarbon module provides a set of tools for interfacing with hardware devices on OnLogic’s ‘Karbon’ series rugged PCs. These interfaces include the onboard CAN bus, Digital IO, automotive features, and a few other hardware devices. There are several benefits to leveraging Pykarbon:

• You can start testing and developing right out of the box – setting up a Karbon with Pykarbon and sending some test messages over CAN takes only a couple of minutes.
• High level interface offers powerful tools that can be immediately applied to a broad variety of problems.
• Low level hardware access layer gives developers granular control when they need it.
• Abstracts complex hardware controls into simplified interfaces.
• Free and open; Pykarbon can be downloaded, modified, and used in any application.

The ultimate goal of this package is to provide a simple, but powerful, base platform that will allow for the quick and easy integration of a Karbon system into a variety of applications.
