DSD TECH SH-C30A USB to CAN Bus Adapter Base on Canable Support SocketCAN Cangaroo

After reading the various reviews on this, I decided to take a chance. There are a couple reviews here talking about how the CAN-L line is shorted to ground. Indeed this was an issue at one point. Upon reading some of the reviews from other countries, it looks like DSD Tech was aware of the issue and fixed it, commenting as much on various reviews. So I hope that people who got the version shorted were able to get a replacement from DSD Tech. My experience with this has been fine. I did use a multimeter before intial use to see if I got the updated board or not and indeed, my board was fine. No shorts between CAN-L and ground. Instsalled drivers and such on my laptop, hooked up everyting to my 2011 VW Golf. Works fine with both SavvyCan and CANHacker. Using this setup to research the data packets sent over the CANBUS. Once I have all the data I need, I'll use that data with an Arduino Nano and MCP2515 CANBUS module to control some addressable LEDs.

I used it to verify communications on an NMEA 2000 product I am developing. I used Cangaroo from Canable and it worked as soon as I got the correct connection to the bus. Vey much worth the 20$.

This device has an error on the PCB that shorts the CANL to GND and the 1040 side of the spark gap. Buy a real Canable or spend some time to cut the short out and patch with wire.

Trying to replay CAN data back onto the bus this adapter will freeze after a few seconds. I've tried multiple firmware and driver versions (candlelight, gs_usb, PCAN) with both python-can and BUSMASTER. All tests end up the same: it works for a few seconds and then stops until the adapter is unplugged and plugged back in again. Guess I should have bought the expensive device instead of wasting hours of my time on this thing.

Came with can L and Ground shorted causing errors during communication.

Dalle prove che ho fatto in Windows 10 utilizzando il software Cangaroo, l'adattatore comunica correttamente. I driver per Windows 7 (scaricabili dal sito indicato dal venditore e scritti per adattatore CANable) non funzionano con questo adattatore in quanto il Vendor ID e il Product ID del driver sono diversi da quelli di questo adattatore (infatti il driver fa riferimento al Vendor ID e al Product ID dell'adattatore CANable). Occorrerebbe perciò modificare il Vendor ID e il Product ID nel file .inf del driver, e quindi ricompilarlo con Visual Studio e con il Windows Driver Kit in versione opportuna, in modo da rigenerare il corrispondente file .cat del driver. AGGIORNAMENTO: dopo avere ricevuto dal venditore un messaggio in cui si segnala che l'adattatore ha un grave problema hardware che verrà risolto a giugno (con sostituzione dell'adattatore su richiesta), ho verificato che, come indicato in una recensione del 18 aprile 2023, il pin CANL è cortocircuitato a GND: in effetti mi ero accorto che con un dispositivo CAN riuscivo a comunicare, mentre con un altro non riuscivo, per cui pensavo che fosse un problema del dispositivo, ma ora non ne sono più sicuro ed è probabile che sia colpa dell'adattatore. AGGIORNAMENTO: il venditore è stato molto gentile e disponibile sostituendomi i due adattatori che avevo acquistato. I nuovi adattatori non hanno più il problema hardware dei precedenti e funzionano quindi correttamente.

Perfecto para comunicacion con open can bus

It works on Linux, and let me talk to a VESC motor controller over CAN bus.
