USB CAN Cable Converter

Very happy with this device. Works flawlessly with my custom Linux CAN monitoring application.

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 4-17-2024 Everything 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.

Cheap can logger if you don't need precision timing this will work just well

Ancient super sketchy drivers, if you want to be a chinese cyper spy enabler or DDOS node, you should definitely buy this product and install their driver. If not, you'll never get it to work on a Mac.

I purchased this to learn some automotive can. There is zero documentation for the device. The wiki gives a DNS error. I've tried on multiple devices and web browsers. I've contacted the support email but have yet to receive any reply

Windows PCやラズパイ用に購入しましたが、充分使い物になる印象です。 MCP2515とかだと、とりあえずの通信は出来ますが、バッファがすぐにいっぱいになるので、大容量の通信には向きませんが、これならある程度のバス負荷でも使えています。 CANツールのメーカー品は個人で買うには高過ぎますが、これなら何とかなると思います。

Merhaba kullanım kılavuzu gelmedi Windows için driver ve Rx tx çıkışları şeması iletirmisiniz rica etsem

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.

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

I bought it to use with some custom controllers. you will notice that the seller does not provide driver on the product page (unless an update was made after my purchase), and you actually need to contact him to get some sort of driver which is not very well documented. The problem with this type of device is that without the proper driver, and compatibility with frameworks like Python-can or Matlab-Simulink or CANApe (etc..), the scope of usage is very limited; in my case it was pretty much useless. Cheap indeed, but not my best move considering there are some other choices out there.
