Hello,

I'm currently working on a uni project based around the CAN Bus and I'm having difficulty getting any results. I'm working on a BMW 320d (F32) 2013 and I'm using the USB2CAN and Linux to interface with the bus. Here is how I've setup the rig:

Laptop -- USB2CAN -- DB9 to OBDII cable -- OBDII port.

Using Linux I run the following commands:

sudo ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000
sudo ip link set up can0

On the actual USB2CAN device the LED light turns constant green

I then run cansniffer on can0 however I don't see any data.

Here is what I've tried:

-Different bitrates (125000, 600000, 700000)
-running candump -l any,0:0,#FFFFFFFF

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

USB2CAN doesn't support any protocol.It is only USB <=> CAN bus frames converter with CANAL type interface for VSCP home automation.

No worry tim, thanks anyway! I'll just mess have a play around with it and see if I can get it working.
