Failed to set CAN socket name via ioctl()

Hi
Thanks for writing this library.

I wanted to try out CAN for my project but am encountering the following error:

[INFO] [launch]: Default logging verbosity is set to INFO
[INFO] [socket_can_receiver_node_exe-1]: process started with pid [85606]
[socket_can_receiver_node_exe-1] [INFO] [1671057528.227663086] [socket_can_receiver]: interface: /dev/ttyUSB0

Physical setup:
I have an Arduino Due with SEEED studio can bus.

I have the a USB to CAN connector plugged into the computer.

I believe the CAN port is showing up as /dev/ttyUSB0 because when I unplug it, it was the only one that disappeared.

Could you help me identifiy what is the possible issue?

Thanks!
Best,
Michael Wu

If it is enumerated as /dev/ttyUSB0 then it is a serial interface, not SocketCAN. The module you link to is USB to RS485, which is not CAN. It does not look like the CAN adapter board is compatible with SocketCAN and must be programmed to interact with the CAN bus through the Arduino.
