Hello, I’m working on a Windows application (С++ or C#) that needs to support UAVCAN v.0 and v.1.0 for exchanging data using Zubax Babel adapter (SLCAN). What libraries would you recommend for Windows desktop app? Everything was easier with STM32… 🙂 ---

UAVCAN is no more, there is now Cyphal and DroneCAN. Here’s how they differ: [Cyphal vs. DroneCAN](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/cyphal-vs-dronecan/1814) If you must use C++, I recommend [libcanard](https://github.com/OpenCyphal/libcanard) for Cyphal. There is ongoing work on [libcyphal](https://github.com/OpenCyphal-Garage/libcyphal) which is a high-level C++14 library built on top of libcanard/libudpard/libserard but it is not yet usable, sadly. You can see that even the logo in the README is all messed up so that’s a WIP. I think we could use some help with that project if you are comfortable writing C++, assuming that Scott, who is driving this particular bus, won’t tell us to get off his lawn. For DroneCAN, just use the old [libuavcan](https://github.com/DroneCAN/libuavcan). All of that said, since you are developing for Windows, why not simply choose a higher-level language and use [PyCyphal](https://pycyphal.readthedocs.io)? It will really get you started in no time and it comes with ~~nuclear reactors~~ batteres included. ---

Hi Pavel, thanks for your advice and recommendations. I’m working on a Windows app for a BMS unit (very simple functionality). And idea is to match both DroneCAN and Cyphal. I’m going to take a look at PyCyphal. And what about the DroneCAN Python implementation? Thanks in advance! ---

Thanks a lot!
