If you encounter problems installing or using libPCBUSB.dylib on macOS Monterey (12.x) and/or Apple Silicon (M1 chip), this guide may help you isolate the problem.
To basically check whether the PCAN hardware runs on your Mac or is supported by the PCBUSB driver, you can try the PCBUSB-Utilities. The utilities can_test
and can_moni
are standalone programs that run in user space and do not require the PCBUSB dylib to be installed.
Download and unzip the artifact(s) from latest tag. Do not run the install.sh
script. Instead, run the binaries directly in a terminal session. Type either can_test --help
or can_moni --help
to see all program options.
