Its cost was about 1/30th of the cost of getting the hardware and API software I really wanted. I found the API quite easy to get to grips with and soon got it up and running. The documentation was a bit sparse, but together with various examples (lots of implementations are available), it is not too uphill - it just lacks a bit of detail. My implementation was in Delphi, I am very happy with it, and it has far exceeded my expectations. The hardware/firmware is okay, I found it a bit susceptible to noise causing the whole thing to keep locking up for 20 seconds at a time, so it might not be suitable for data logging in an electrically noisy environment (anyone else experience these issues?), but in a quiet environment it is flawless in my extended tests (20 million messages over 48h). The application software is okay, useful for taking a peek at what is going on and to verify that the unit works - i.e. an alternative way to set the registers you might want to set using the API, but it does not do anything else. One really annoying thing about it is that the settings you see on the screen are not always the settings in the device - so if you are pulling your hair out wondering why you are not seeing what you expect, it is probable just that you need to force the settings into the hardware. The Windows application software also crashes randomly (looks like a screen update issue with the main message grid). Also note the software is about as far from a CAN version of WireShark as you can possibly get. But you can always write your own! It is not perfect, but considering its low total cost and the flexibility it offers, I am very happy with the unit and the API, and the application software and is acceptable. For my needs it is an absolute bargain and I am sure I will use it for many years to come. Review: not impressed - not impressed with it at all , the paper work that is provided directs you to a website to download the software. it asks which one you have and the product doesn't have the part number on it , so thats first problem , I managed to navigate to a all around software , it's kind of like a software bundle which includes many different models I think , again it's not very clear. , it claims it runs on 32x systems which it doesn't , I have installed it on 3 separate systems with xp and none of work , it claims that various dlls are missing and try to install again. I finally by any chance found the classic software which seems to work on my 64bit laptop , I have no idea if this is going to work , I have wasted best part of 3hours trying to make it run , total waste of time , if this doesn't work I'm sending it back for a refund. ## Features - Support Windows, Linux, MAC OS - Support Android, Raspberry Pi - CAN bus data sending and receiving via USB of PC or Smartphone - CAN network data acquisition and analysis - CAN network data monitoring in industrial site ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071R4V99V | | Best Sellers Rank | 310,705 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 8,614 in Adapters | | Box Contents | Free PC software, compatible with various operating systems and devices | | Brand Name | ViewTool | | Compatible Devices | Cell Phone, PC, Pad, Raspberry Pi | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (9) | | Item Weight | 7.7 Ounces | | Manufacturer | ViewTool IoT Technology | | Manufacturer Part Number | 8541669174 | | Model Name | Ginkgo USB to CAN Interface Adapter | | Model Number | VTG203B | | Network Connectivity Technology | USB | | Operating System | Android,Linux,Windows | | Processor Brand | ARM | | Processor Count | 1 | | Processor Speed | 120 MHz | | RAM Memory Technology | SRAM | | Total USB Ports | 1 | | UPC | 669665973953 889811926651 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Wireless Compability | 802.11b | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ViewTool - **CPU speed:** 120 MHz - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Included components:** Free PC software, compatible with various operating systems and devices - **Model name:** Ginkgo USB to CAN Interface Adapter ## Images ![Ginkgo USB To CAN Interface Adapter Support Windows/Linux/MAC/Android/Raspberry Pi USB-CAN Analyzer 2500VRMS isolation CANopen SAE J1939 DeviceNET - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518f53UimBL.jpg) ![Ginkgo USB To CAN Interface Adapter Support Windows/Linux/MAC/Android/Raspberry Pi USB-CAN Analyzer 2500VRMS isolation CANopen SAE J1939 DeviceNET - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51kEq2Z74dL.jpg) ![Ginkgo USB To CAN Interface Adapter Support Windows/Linux/MAC/Android/Raspberry Pi USB-CAN Analyzer 2500VRMS isolation CANopen SAE J1939 DeviceNET - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61J3w15JHsL.jpg) ![Ginkgo USB To CAN Interface Adapter Support Windows/Linux/MAC/Android/Raspberry Pi USB-CAN Analyzer 2500VRMS isolation CANopen SAE J1939 DeviceNET - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QUwGCZEeL.jpg) ![Ginkgo USB To CAN Interface Adapter Support Windows/Linux/MAC/Android/Raspberry Pi USB-CAN Analyzer 2500VRMS isolation CANopen SAE J1939 DeviceNET - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71z1VuLZkwL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: will this function as a bus analyzer to support time stamped packet captures? Or is it just buffering data to be read over the usb?** A: It has no internal memory or timestamping. It captures & logs all messages to a simple PC app via USB, but no timestamping just sequential lines of address/data. Also can transmit a single message 1-8 bytes or a script file you prepare with given time intervals, either on the same port or the other port. **Q: Is there an updated driver or process to avoid the Windows error message "cannot verify signature"?** A: The current drive on ViewTool website has been certificated by microsoft for window XP,window 7,windows 2000 and old version of windows 10, for updated windows 10, there is no certificate so user has to manually disable windows driver digital certificate **Q: Why do I get a failed status when sending data?** A: There are a number of possible reasons ranging from bad wiring to the speed of the communications. I was getting that message trying to communicate with a STM32 device and I ended up having to modify the data stream pulse widths to better conform with the CAN specs. **Q: I installed ginkgo with my device which gives 5 data sets of 64 bits after some time interval. my data at ginkgo is not updating. any guidance here?** A: 1. If 5 data sets of 64bits has been presents after Ginkgo driver correctly installed (device led became "green") and no issues reported from Ginkgo apps (I am not sure which software working at this time, supposedly its "Ginkgo USB-CAN Interface Extend Software"), that is abnormal usually, please send us your issue picture with more detail info at our email address: fae@viewtool.com or sales@viewtool.com. Or you can try to more ways on this issue: 1. try another software "Ginkgo USB-CAN Bus Adapter Classic Software" to get more detail info while the error presents, capture the picture can sent to us, refer video demo to get a quick guiance on how to use this software; 2. get another standard CAN interface device which is proven is right working one to communicate with our can product to see what happends? 3. check the CAN bus payload is correct (see documents on detail on how to connect internal payload for correct hardware wiring connection on can bus protocol communication); 4. make sure CAN H/L wiring is correct; Thanks!

It works but the drivers aren't really suitable for Windows 10. To install them you'll need to permanently turn off the driver certification check, which isn't something I really want to do. The software works fine but it's not intuitive, feels like there's some translation issues. I guess you get what you pay for. ## Frequently Bought Together - ViewTool Ginkgo USB to CAN Interface Adapter Support Windows/Linux/MAC/Android/Raspberry Pi USB-CAN Analyzer 2500VRMS Isolation Open Source Available - Waveshare USB to CAN Adapter Model A, STM32 Chip Solution, Multiple Working Modes, Multi-System Compatible --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/49890650-ginkgo-usb-to-can-interface-adapter-support-windows-linux-mac](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/49890650-ginkgo-usb-to-can-interface-adapter-support-windows-linux-mac) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
