Project: December 2020 – June 2021 (7 months)
Description
There are many companies offering multifarious CAN hardware and CAN software, but only a few of them provide a driver for macOS. In the absence of CAN drivers for macOS, I created several user-space drivers for USB-to-CAN interfaces as open-source projects. The main tasks were support of new hardware, implementation of missing features, realization of a unified API, stabilization and bug fixing. macOS user-space drivers for USB-to-CAN interfaces are available for
- PCAN-USB Interfaces from PEAK-System
- TouCAN USB Interfaces from Rusoku
- CAN Leaf Interfaces from Kvaser
