Topic: Feasibility of some ideas
Hi CANNY team
I have a couple of ideas and more on the way (I guess) to implement in my Ford Focus MK3 EU spec and I would very much appreciate your feedback concerning the feasibility and limitations of using CANNY7 for such tasks. I don't have a CANNY7 but I will buy one if it is suitable for my tasks.
1. My car is equipped with door modules in each of the 4 doors, that control exterior mirrors (electrically adjustable, heated and folding), locking/unlocking door actuators, power windows, etc. via LIN from BCM of the car. Moreover, the door modules are connected on MS-CAN network. I installed a third party keyless entry systems I would like to have my mirrors fold-in/out during lock/unlock of the car just like OEM system. I expect the BCM to send fold-in/out data to the door modules via LIN and then the door modules will activates the appropriate outputs to the mirrors. Simple solution would be to install universal mirror fold modules each in driver and passenger door, but CANNY7 would be elegant.
2. Switching fog lights with turn signals and steering wheel position like VAG vehicles. Also here the turn signals and steering wheel angle data is transmitted via LIN from BCM and connected over HS-CAN.
Please give your feedback and also some heads-up of any limitations of CANNY7 in general. Thank you!
