The DynoSure SLCAN GPIO combines a full-featured USB-to-CAN adapter with 8 configurable GPIO outputs, giving you CAN bus communication and hardware control in a single compact device. Built on the CANable2 firmware with the Lawicel SLCAN protocol, it appears as a virtual COM port and integrates seamlessly with BUSMASTER and other CAN tools.
Specifications
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Microcontroller | STM32G4 series @ 170 MHz |
| CAN Protocols | CAN 2.0A (11-bit), CAN 2.0B (29-bit), CAN-FD |
| USB Interface | USB 2.0 Full-Speed (backward compatible with USB 1.1, forward compatible with USB 3.0) |
| Standard CAN Bitrates | 10, 20, 50, 83.3, 100, 125, 250, 500, 750 kbps, 1 Mbps |
| CAN-FD Data Bitrates | Up to 8 Mbps |
| GPIO Channels | 8 digital outputs |
| Power Supply | USB powered - no external supply required |
| Operating Temperature | Extended range - suitable for industrial & automotive environments |
GPIO Control Protocol
The 8 GPIO outputs are controlled by sending a special CAN message through the adapter. This message is processed internally and is not transmitted on the physical CAN bus.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| CAN ID | 0x1FFFFF (Extended 29-bit) |
| DLC | 2 |
| Byte 0 | GPIO control - each bit maps to one GPIO pin (bit 0 → GPIO 0, bit 7 → GPIO 7). Set 1 = HIGH, 0 = LOW |
| Byte 1 | 0xAA (fixed identifier for GPIO command) |
Example
To set GPIO 0, GPIO 2, and GPIO 4 HIGH (and all others LOW):
| Byte | Value | Binary |
|---|---|---|
| Byte 0 | 0x15 | 0001 0101 |
| Byte 1 | 0xAA | 1010 1010 |
Note: The GPIO control message (ID
0x1FFFFF) is intercepted by the adapter firmware and will NOT appear on the physical CAN bus. All other CAN messages transmit normally.
Software & Platform Support
