What it does

  • Publishes frames received on a SocketCAN device to an rx topic.
  • Sends messages received on a tx topic out to the SocketCAN device.
  • Does not loop back sent frames to the same node.
  • Runs as a standalone node, with no lifecycle management.
  • Can also be loaded as a dynamically loadable component.
