Hi,

I love the usbtoCan product but am attempting to write custom windows software to make life easier for a particular task but cannot find any information on how to interface with the tool (api etc). I assume it’s possible given there is custom software that supports the tool out there. If anyone can point me to where I can find some more info that would be great.

I use authentic (and chinese) PCAN devices + the [PCAN-Basic](https://www.peak-system.com/support/software-information/development-kits/pcan-basic/) api with great success for the last 15+ years. Never a dropped packet.

I’ve also used numerous other chinese adapters that are loosely based on the lawicel protocol and are also useful under SocketCAN from within linux environments. Also, never a dropped packet.

I’d also like to hear if there is an api available for usbToCan.
