Example

To visualize how the Node works a bit better, refer to the images below. The first is an example DBC file, which would have been added in the CAN Project Settings. There are two Messages and two Signals, each of which correspond to one of the Messages.

When the connection has been added in Project Settings and those changes are saved, the user can select the desired Message Name -- here Message1 -- which will make an input appear called Signal1. If a Message has multiple Signals -- for example if Message1 had two Signals called Signal1a and Signal1b -- all appear as inputs of the Node.
