Hi Every one ,

I want to study on CAN communication on STM32 based microcontroller. I don't have special CAN device for communication. Which monitor software and usb convertor is best choice for start? 

As I understand,  I need USB to CAN  device for monitor isseu. 

I found a lot of USB to CAN on different web site I cant be sure which one is demands my demands.

I need a PC software program and device .

-  Monitor CAN network. ( *free if possible ).

-  Simulate CAN like device . 

-  Cheap but also

reliable 

hardware for CAN to USB converter.

-  Multiple software usage. * I dont want to stuck on one software solution.

I found these supplier,

* Expensive and hard to find my local market.

Price is not bad, Also they have a local distributor.

German web site , I cant get price information. Also hard to find local .

National Instruments has  NI-USB-8473  CAN-to-USB-converter, programmable in c++, C#, VB, all libraries available, you need to create PC-program and send commands to device reading arrived frames, and write to device to send some frame.

Sincerely

Serge

Thanks Serge, 

Thanks , I will checkNI-USB-8473 details. 

But, I don't want to develop PC side software. My goal is using ST32 and STM32 std library to handle CAN communication.
