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

Worked well, used this to sniff some CAN messages on a 2015 Mustang. Didn't change the firmware, left it alone and ended up finding a slightly older version of SavvyCAN that someone made a plugin for (drop a .dll into the SavvyCAN canbus folder). This allowed SavvyCAN to work with the Candlelight firmware that this thing came with. Not sure how you beat this for $17.

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.

Good

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$.

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.

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.

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

マイコンでCAN通信を行いモーターを制御する必要がありました、まずマイコンが正常なCAN通信を行っているか確認する必要があります。今回の商品とフリーソフトの”cangaroo”で十分行うことが来ます。

Works well but front end is not very user friendly

Dieser USB-CAN-Bus-Adapter tut genau das, was er soll. Wer so ein Gerät bestellt, wird ohnehin wissen, wofür es gedacht ist. Ich nutze ihn zur BMS-Anbindung im EV-Bereich, und für diesen Zweck funktioniert er einwandfrei. Die Verarbeitung macht einen soliden Eindruck, und die Datenübertragung läuft stabil und zuverlässig. Bis jetzt keine Probleme, daher klare Empfehlung für alle, die einen zuverlässigen CAN-Bus-Adapter suchen.

Worked perfectly, no issues. I was able to sniff the canbus network on my car and get the information I needed. The transmit function was also very use for validating canbus messages.

Not isolated. Killed by an earth loop
