Part 2 - Adding Events

1. Vehicle Spy Setup:

In this tutorial, 2 events will be added. The first when a message is received and the second is for an application signal changing. Create a Receive message with an Arb ID of 123 named My Message and an Application Signal named My App Signal.

2. C Code Interface:

In the C Code Interface view under the Setup tab, select your project and click on Update Support Files (Figure 1:). This will add the new data items from Vehicle Spy to the header files. If Visual Studio is open, you may get a warning that files have been updated. Click on Yes to All to add the changes to your project.

3. Add Events:

With your project selected, click on the Edit button (Figure 1:). Being sure Rx Messages is selected, in Message Events tab select and add My Message (Figure 2). Under the Application Signal Events tab select and add My App Signal (Figure 3). Next, go to the Event Handler Code tab and select Copy. This is the event code. Paste this as new functions in your SpyCCode.c file in Visual Studio. For the SpyMsg_MG_My_Message_HS_CAN event add "printf("There's my Message!!!\n)";". For the SpyAppSign_AS_My_App_Signal add "printf("App Signal changed\n");".
