Dual Channels USB to CAN Converter for Raspberry Pi5/4/Pi3B+/Pi3/Pi Zero(W)/Jetson Nano/Tinker Board/Any SBCs/Desktop/Laptop Support Windows Linux Mac OS Android Venus OS

Folks, I had no problem getting this device up, running, and working with Innomaker's C# example code (I know that should be the case for any similar product... but unfortunately, it isn't).I'm using VS2013 currently and it took very little work to get this going.I've also started "Secondary Development" and it's also working out for me, so far.In my opinion, this device's USB driver / interface is far better than the plethora of "cheap" Virtual Com Port (VCP) devices that are out there. A good bit of code had to be developed to make them somewhat usable.I had nothing but problems with several of these other USB to CAN "VCP" devices. I could never get them working properly, reliably, or efficiently. They were "cheaper", but ultimately a waste of my valuable time, as the serial interface was problematic (a real weakness in Windows and I tried / developed several drivers but ultimately ended up disappointed), and they provided little to no documentation / example code (either none, unusable, or unreadable). Support was also poor, although I can't comment on Innomaker support, as I haven't had to even ask for support!The Innomaker device is a bit more expensive than the "cheap" ones, but in this case, you do get what you pay for.I've run millions of CAN frames through this device and have had no issues to report.The device was plug and play for me. Others have complained that it wasn't for them.Bottom line... It's early yet, and I still have much testing to do, but so far, my experience has been far better with this "Innomaker" product than with several previous competitor products.I wish I had spent time on this device first before wasting weeks on the other "cheap" devices.I'll update my review as I get more experience with the product.Update 4-17-2024Everything is still going well but, as with other similar devices, I'm seeing a limitation to how fast messages can be transmitted.Using the synchronous send function and 6 configured extended CAN messages, sent in a loop, I'm averaging just above 100msec per message.The code is optimized at this point, so the only current way to send them faster is to reduce the number of CAN messages being sent.I'm not going to ding my rating on this device at this point because my experience using it has been so good.Note: I have not tried the Async functions yet and have not tested the device queue depth to determine how many messages can be queued before it chokes.

Works good on sbc

I use a couple of these with Linux/SocketCAN for work, and they've been great. No driver installation needed (just use a standard "ip" command to configure). They work as well as products that cost 10x as much and don't even include a termination jumper.

Both can poets are automatically recognized in the raspberry pi

The interface works on Raspberry PI as indicated and also Linux Mint. It doesn't work with WSL on Windows but the description did't mention it so no big deal. The sample Python scripts is basic, with once script to receive and another to send. It would have been nice if they had a basic GUI that received and send at the same time.Including the DB9 connector with screw terminals is nice to have. I was able to connect to a CANable interface that also used screw terminals It would have been nice if the CAN interface had an enclosure as well.

I had an issue with using the CAN converter and the customer support on solving my issue was very responsive and helpful. Will definitely buy from them again.

Contacted the seller about the windows driver and python libraries they do not work. Seldom answers emails.Contacted the seller about the windows driver and python libraries they do not work. Seldom answers emails.

I'm an engineer working on CAN project at work, I bought this to use as a CAN sniffer. I'm very impressed with the quality and design.When I plugged it into my Ubuntu laptop it "just worked", no hassles at all. Since it uses CAN sockets on Linux is it well supported. I emailed a technical question to support and received competent answer within 24 hours.Highly recommended, I even bought a couple more for my co-workers.

I wanted to use this usb2can for real time control of a device, after wasting 2 days of my life I found out out there is a 0.1s delay between sending a message and receiving the data from the usb2can, I think there is a buffer which fills up after a few millisecond and the rest of the commands are queued and sent after reading the received data. It's absolutely an unprofessional design! a simple mcp2515 works better than this product with $110 price tag!!

Asked about DB9 to OBD2... Customer service gave me Amazon links to cabes which will work.

Per ora tutto ok, usato con Ubuntu e python 3.9 tramite socketcan, fa il suo dovere(non ho analizzato il bus con un oscilloscopio)

Funciona muy bien en linux, que lo reconoce sin necesidad de instalar ningún driver

Der Adapter bzw. seine Firmware wurde offenbar vorrangig für Linux entworfen.Die Nutzung unter Windows (bei mir C# / .NET) ist aber problemlos möglich. Dazu muss die Bibliothek "InnoMakerUsb2CanLib.dll" eingebunden werden.Der Hersteller liefert eine C# Beispielanwendung als Visual Studio Solution, aus der man alle wichtigen Funktionen herauslesen kann.Offene Fragen werden zeitnah per E-Mail beantwortet. Auch wurde mir freundlicherweise eine aktualisierte Version der "InnoMakerUsb2CanLib.dll" zugesandt, nachdem ich um eine kleine Anpassung gebeten hatte.Von der DLL werden verschiedene Fassungen auf Github bereitgestellt. Eine davon ist zusätzlich von System.Windows.Forms abhängig. Möchte man diese Abhängigkeit nicht, so gibt es eine entsprechende Version ohne diese Abhängigkeit.Ist sehr zu empfehlen.Ich habe bereits meinen zweiten Adapter bestellt.
