ERM launched Starlink Tracker, a complete connected car unit that integrates advanced vehicle tracking, driver behavior monitoring, theft prevention, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and 4 G capabilities in one device. A CAN Bus interface, supporting OBD-II or SAE J1939, is also available.The telematics product is the first under the company’s wireless connect strategy, which aims to use wireless technologies to provide [...]
Linux-Ready ARM Embedded Industrial IoT (Internet of Things) System With Two CAN Bus Ports
Artila Electronics (Taiwan), a developer and manufacturer of Linux-ready ARM embedded industrial computers, announced the release of their Matrix-713 industrial IoT computer, which is equipped with two CAN ports.Internet of Things (IoT) offers new possibilities and new services to end users, since they could learn more about other entities present in the surrounding environment. Therefore, the [...]
SAE J1939 - GPS Module - Firmware Update To Support Time & Date And Vehicle Direction & Speed
The jCOM.J1939.GPS device by Copperhill Technologies connects to an SAE J1939 network and reports the vehicle position (PGN 65267) with a five second frequency, according to the SAE J1939-71 Standard. The integrated J1939 protocol stack automatically negotiates a node address in the range of 128 to 247. The GPS data is broadcast by using the global destination [...]

SAE J1939 GPS Application With Arduino Due Delivers PGN 65267 (Vehicle Position)
I am repeating myself over and over, but the Arduino Due is my preferred choice when it comes to quick prototyping of SAE J1939 and CAN Bus applications. It is the ease of programming and the great performance that makes it all possible. In fact, I created this application in only a few hours, mostly [...]
How To Build A GPS To USB Interface, Including A Real-Time Clock, Within Minutes
Well, yes, it takes literally only minutes to assemble and test a GPS sensor plus real-time clock through the USB port on your computer, and that computer can be a Windows PC, Mac, any Linux system such as the Raspberry Pi, or even an Android system. All it takes is having the right components and [...]
Electronic Logging Device (ELD) - GPS And Real-Time Clock (RTC) Breakout Board For The Arduino Due
Lately, I had looked into the topic of Electronic Logging Devices (ELD). An ELD is electronic hardware that is attached to a commercial motor vehicle engine to record driving hours. The driving hours of commercial drivers (truck and bus drivers) are regulated by a set of rules known as the hours of service (HOS). An ELD monitors a vehicle’s [...]
