USB to CAN FD Converter Based on Canable 2.0 CAN USB FD Adapter Supports 5 Mbps

Great quality. Works perfectly. I also had a great customer service experience jumping through a few hoops in Ubuntu. The vendor's team was super knowledgeable and prompt. I highly recommend this product and company.

Uses a different STM32 IC than listed - this one is STM32F072C8T6 and cannot be flashed with any of the repos their scant documentation links to - so, useless

I didn't realize when buying this that it did not support macs. Worst case I thought I would load up parallels and run it in a windows vm but I was unable to get that working either. It appears to be a well designed device, nothing broken or cheap looking about it, but if you are a mac owner like me I would avoid this one.

I've used CANoe and NI Can tools in the past for work and other projects.Seems like there is a great open source ecosystem built out for CAN development and debugging these days.the canable adapter is a very nicely built PCB sandwich design. The top and the bottom boards effectively act as a case and some hardware labeling, and the circuit sits on the middle board. The board is powered by an ST Micro microcontroller (STM32G431CBT6)The CAN adapter has a dip switch for a resistor for CAN ring termination if needed.There is a programming port on the board for the ST Micro chip if needed, and there are firmware flashing tools available for refreshing to other firmware as needed. I installed the candleLight firmware via the DFU tool and it seems to perform well.With the candleLight firmware, it looks like wireshark can be used to packet sniff.I have been exploring Cangaroo - this seems a great option, as you can use CAN databases with the software.

This little interface works well with a variety of firmware and software packages for CAN bus hacking. From just being able to see how your car communicates with its components and vice versa. This USB interface with the correct wiring and software, of which there is a variety, will get you started in better understanding your car's communications and diagnostics.

Cangaroo couldn't find this adapter.

So I still run Windows 10. I've not tried this in my Linux system or my single Windows 11 machine, but I would guess it would work fine on the Linux machine and maybe the 11 machine.Anyway, I downloaded Cangaroo and this works just fine. The OS recognized it as a COM port and the software was able to use it out of the box.This makes some of my CAN testing a little easier. It's handy to have this dongle around.

I was able, after much trial an error, to get this device recognized by Windows in firmware programming mode. I was subsequently able to reprogram the firmware with the CANable.io site, back and forth between slcan and candlelight. however, with candlelight windows would not correctly recognize the device and with slcan, eventhough windows would recognize, none of the recommended software would see the device (CANgaroo, CANtact, etc.). I think the device probably works, but there was no information provided or that I could readily find to get through the issues I was having. I may have to switch over to a Linux machine and give it a try, but with CANable being supported on Windows (and with the little documentation available saying that modern Windows required no special drivers) I thought this would be an easy to use tool - it is proving otherwise.
