CANviaUSB is an application I wrote several years ago to help me learning Qt and to introduce myself in the CAN bus communication. The software was first published over a dedicated site, where it has been downloaded over 2000 times. I have decided to open it code since the original source code was laying somewhere on my hard drive almost untouched for the last 6..8 years as it reached a state where it was doing what I needed it for.
CANviaUSB is a simple to use, CAN bus monitor and analysis tool, of CAN bus messages, to help you while developing CAN based applications.
It currently supports the CAN-4-USB-FX/MCP2515 adapter from Zanthic Technologies Inc., the CANUSB adapter from Lawicel and the Tiny-CAN adapter from MHS Elektronik
It was, and it is still very useful for me when I debug embedded systems that are making use of the CAN Bus, and I hope that it will be useful for other as well.
The sources are available on GitHub
A Windows distribution is available here.
Hi Laurent,
Thanks for taking the time to make this program. I’m looking forward to using it but unfortunately I cannot get it to start using the windows installer.
I get a error message saying “unable to load/find plug in : windows
Available plug-ins are: windows.”
A quick Google suggested maybe a *.dll is missing from QT in the install?
Tried libENG.dll to no avail.
Will keep trying and let you know if I find a solution.

I have an arduino based device that I use to stream the can traffic via USB. Right now i just make a log file via Putty. If i want to use your program, do I have to format the data in any particular way? or just let it spill in un-touched?
Thanks, Looking forward to using it.
