### Message types

Understanding the various message types is essential (see page 19-21 and 42-45 in the datasheet). Some messages are pretty straightforward: they have a source and destination(s), but there are others which are like queries: a device (for example the display) asks another one (like the BSI or the CD changer or the head unit) for some data. So when you are testing and a message does not appear it could mean that you don't have the initiator in your setup (or maybe you are missing the device which should answer for the query). Or it could also mean that you misconfigured the receiver channels.

To have the library working, you need to build a shield first as such thing does not exists on the market for the VAN bus. To build the hardware you need to buy a TSS463C VAN controller and a REMQ 0339 VAN line driver (this is also known as Alcatel 2840). Unfortunately these are pretty hard to find but if you are lucky you can buy them on aliexpress (or you can also extract them from an old headunit or display).
