Open a command terminal and run the following command

sudo apt-get install can-utils 

1. Go to this link https://github.com/zombieCraig/ICSim
2. Click on the green button and download zip file

3. Uncompress the zip file
4. Open command terminal and navigate to where you placed the uncompressed files
5. In the command line run this command:

make

In the next step we will verify if everything installed correctly

 Now we are going to setup a virtual CAN port and connect ICSim to that port

1. Open a command terminal and run the following commands

sudo modprobe can
sudo modprobe vcan
sudo ip link add dev vcan0 type vcan
sudo ip link set up vcan0

 2. Next within the command terminal navigate to the ICSim folder in which you ran make in the previous section. Run the following command

./icsim vcan0

 Your terminal should something like this

And you should have a ICSim window that looks like this:

3. Now you must open another command terminal and once again navigate to ICSim folder and run the following command

./controls vcan0

Your terminal will look similar to this:

And you should have a control panel window like this:

While making sure the Control panel window is selected (the one with picture of a game controller). Hold down the Up arrow key and the Left arrow key. You should see something like this:

If you don't see the gauge cluster change when you hold down the arrow keys make sure you first click on the controller window(the window with the game controller) before you press the arrow keys.

Still having trouble?

Head over to this project's public chat and I or some other member will try to help you out!

Originally planned but not needed for this workshop. We will not be installing SavvyCan for this tutorial.
