rustycan — Software — Embedded Product Development

What it is

rustycan is a desktop CANopen viewer and analyser. It connects to common CAN interfaces and decodes the live bus into a readable, filterable event stream — no account, no cloud, just a single native application.

Decodes SDO, PDO, and NMT events into a readable, filterable stream
Native egui desktop UI on a modular sniffer-core library
Works with the KCAN USB dongle (driverless) and PEAK PCAN adapters
The same codebase ships on macOS, Windows, and Linux

Verify your download

Every installer is signed with minisign. Each file has a matching .minisig beside it in the downloads directory. Verify it against our public key before running:

minisign -Vm rustycan-v0.3.1-x86_64-linux.deb \
  -P RWQmjdDbmgaIMXjdyTqNUTCsFCp/OMgd6/EJGIlT8EyktE13759K2YfH

The downloads are not Apple-notarized or signed with a paid Windows certificate, so Gatekeeper/SmartScreen may still warn on first launch — the minisign signature is your integrity check.
