Reading .dbc files
What program is used to read .dbc files? I have a bunch of them for different cars. I tried to load them with Visual FoxPro, but it says they are not a database file. Any ideas?

I’ve used SavvyCAN and found is quite useful for most things.

The dbc format was developed by Vector and the CANdb++ is great if you can get a copy.

Re: Reading .dbc files
That has been on the to do list for a long time now. The files are text files, and are basic definition files for raw CAN data traffic.
On github there is a repo and detailed instruction how to read and edit them. Can`t find the link.
