Arduino Due Firmware Flaw: Problem With Using The USB Programming Port At 230400 Baud And Beyond
One of the improvements that came with the Arduino IDE's updates was an increased baud rate for the Serial Monitor. Well, there are many time-sensitive applications that will benefit from the speed gain, specifically when using one of the fastest Arduinos around, the Arduino Due with its ARM Cortex M3 processor. However, when you set the Serial [...]
CAN With Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD) Devices For Embedded Systems Such As Raspberry Pi, Arduino, And Teensy
Developed by Bosch (Germany), CAN with Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD) is an extension to the original CAN Bus protocol as specified in ISO 11898-1 that responds to increased bandwidth requirements in automotive and industrial networks. CAN FD is supported by semiconductor chip manufacturers and end users alike, with Infineon, NXP, Daimler and GM among the [...]

Motor Control With Arduino Mega 2560, Raspberry Pi, Or BeagleBone Black
Makers can do amazing things with motors. Yes, they may be more complicated than some other circuit elements, but with this book, you can completely master them. Once you do, many incredible new projects become possible. First, the author Matthew Scarpino explains how electric motors work and what you need to know about each major type, [...]
LIN Bus Configuration And Test Environment for Embedded Solutions Such As The Arduino Uno
LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial network protocol used for communication between components in vehicles. The need for a cheap serial network arose as the technologies and the facilities implemented in the car grew, while the CAN bus was too expensive to implement for every component in the car. European car manufacturers started using [...]
