The Benefits Of Controller Area Network - CAN Bus - For Embedded Applications
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. Controller Area Network, like any field-bus system based on serial communication, will reduce wiring, which was initially considered only as an advantageous side effect. Distributed control, i.e., the use of a multi-processor system, will consequently result in increased performance, and the vastly reduced costs [...]
IMB520R ATX Motherboard with LGA1151 Socket 9th/8th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor
Axiomtek introduced their IMB520R and IMB521R, which are industrial-strength ATX motherboards powered by the LGA1151 socket 9th and 8th generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 (Coffee Lake Refresh), Intel Pentium or Intel Celeron processor with the Intel Q370 chipset (IMB520R) or Intel C246 chipset (IMB521R). The motherboards provide a design with high functionality, and they offer various expansion interfaces, [...]
C Programming For The Internet-Of-Things (IoT) Under Linux
Applying C is the book you need if you are programming for Single Board Computers (SBCs) that operate under Linux, or if you perform any coding in C that interacts with the hardware. As there is not the right name for this body of knowledge, it is not easy to find a single source for [...]
COM Express Type 6 Basic Module For Industrial IoT Applications
Axiomtek announced the release of its CEM520, a COM Express Type 6 basic module featuring triple independent displays, industrial operating temperature range, and plenty of possibilities for expansions. The CEM520 utilizes the Intel Xeon E-2176M and 8th generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 processors (codename: Coffee Lake) with the Intel CM246/QM370/HM370 chipset. The 125 x 95 mm system-on-module [...]
Arduino Compatible LIN Bus And CAN Bus Development Kit
LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial network protocol used for communication between components in vehicles. The demand for a second serial network emerged as the technologies and the facilities implemented in modern cars grew, while the CAN Bus was too expensive to implement for every component in the car.The Arduino Compatible LIN Bus And CAN [...]

AAEON announced the release of its COM-WHUC6 COM Express module. The COM-WHUC6 utilizes the Compact Type 6 form factor, and it is designed to perform in a variety of applications, from automation to mobile operations. The COM-WHUC6 is powered by the 8th Generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 and Celeron ULT series processors (formerly Whiskey Lake), rendering performance for [...]
Analog Signal Output Controller With CAN Bus And SAE J1939 Port
Axiomatic has announced its AX130770, an ECU System converting CAN Bus data to two analog or digital isolated signals and one relay output for rugged engine applications.The relay output converter connects to a CAN Bus vehicle network (SAE J1939, high-speed SAE J1939m, or CANopen). It accommodates two analog/digital isolated signal outputs, which can be configured as 0 [...]
LIN To CAN Bus Gateway - Prototyping And Firmware Development With The Arduino-Compatible Teensy Board
In general, let's start with a brief comparison of CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) and LIN Bus (Local Interconnect Network): LIN Bus networks provide cost-efficient communication in applications where the bandwidth and versatility of the CAN Bus technology are not required. LIN Bus applications are relatively inexpensive using the standard serial universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) technology, which are embedded [...]
