Need help deploying USB LIN Converter?
Chalk Labs sets up agents like this inside real teams: connected to your tools, tested on your data, with a human in the loop where it matters.
Install
Works with Claude Code, Codex, VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop. Read the repository before you give any tool access to your data.
npx agentmarket install connector/lukasz-juranek-lin-usb-converter
Asks which of your tools to add it to (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop) and shows the change first. See https://agentmart.dev/cli.

Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].
decode_frameDecode raw frame bytes into signal values with the loaded LDF. id like "0x0C", data hex like "05 1e".
detect_busTry every speed and checksum combination and report which one sees valid frames. Use when monitor_bus shows nothing on a live bus.
device_infoConverter port, firmware version, whether transmitting is allowed, and the loaded LDF (if any).
encode_frameBuild frame bytes from signal values with the loaded LDF. Signals not given keep their LDF default. Returns id and data ready for send_frame.
load_ldfLoad a LIN Description File so captures show signal names and values. Returns its frames and signals. Pass path "mock" with a --mock server to load the simulated bus's LDF.
monitor_busListen to the bus passively and summarize what is on it. Per frame id: count, period, last data, how many distinct values were seen and changing_bits (a per-byte mask of bits that changed). 'changes' lists every data change in time order, so asking the user to press a button during the capture shows which id and bit it drives. speed: 19200 (most cars), 10417 or 9600. checksum: 'enhanced' (LIN 2.x) or 'classic' (LIN 1.x); frames with the other checksum are dropped by the converter. ids: optional filter, e.g. ["0x0C"].
run_masterAct as the LIN master for duration_s: run a schedule that sends the `transmit` frames ([{"id": "0x0B", "data": "05"}]) and polls the `receive` ids ([{"id": "0x0C", "length": 2}]), then summarize the slave responses. Use only with the real master disconnected. Needs --allow-transmit.
run_slaveSimulate a slave node for duration_s: answer the master's headers for the `respond` ids with fixed data ([{"id": "0x0C", "data": "01 1e"}]) and capture the `listen` ids the master sends ([{"id": "0x0B", "length": 1}]). Use only with the real slave disconnected. Needs --allow-transmit.
send_frameInject a complete frame (header + data) on the bus from monitor mode, `repeat` times about 20 ms apart, and capture the bus for a moment after. Needs --allow-transmit. The converter echoes only the header of its own frame back, so check the effect in the following traffic.
