SAE J1939 Address Claim Procedure - SAE J1939/81 Network Management
Network Management under J1939 is primarily represented by the Address Claiming Process. While other higher layer protocols based on Controller Area Network (CAN) do not support dynamic node address assignments per default, the SAE J1939 standard provides this ingeniously designed feature to uniquely identify ECUs and their primary function. SAE J1939/81 prefers the use of CA (Controller Application) rather than ECU [...]

Raspberry Pi With Java To Create Innovative Devices That Power The Internet Of Things (IoT)
This book, Raspberry Pi with Java: Programming the Internet of Things (IoT), fills an important gap in knowledge between seasoned Java developers and embedded-hardware gurus, taking a project-based approach to skills development from which both hobbyists and professionals can learn. By starting with simple projects based on open-source libraries such as Pi4J, hobbyists can get immediate results [...]
CAN Bus Bridge (CAN-to-CAN) Application With Arduino Due
Basically, there are two scenarios where a CAN Bridge application is of use:1. Connecting two separate CAN Bus networks.2. Network length extension.While the first scenario is more or less self-explanatory, let's look a little closer into the network length extension: The physical CAN network length depends primarily on the CAN baud rate, i.e. the higher [...]
