Python Script to Log CAN Messages

If you’d like to use the Python Script in place of the CAN logger applications provided by Ewert:

1. Download this script: https://github.com/lhr-solar/Controls/blob/master/Scripts/bps_sim_can.py

2. Run it in your cmd: python3 bps_sim_can.py

3. If it doesn't run due to not having serial: 

   1. python -m pip install pyserial
