Applying Test Driven Development (TDD) to Embedded C
Another day without Test-Driven Development (TDD) results in time wasted with chasing bugs and watching your code deteriorate. You thought TDD was for someone else, but it's not; it's for you, the embedded C programmer. TDD helps you prevent defects and effectively build software with a long useful life. This is the first book to [...]
Controller Area Network (CAN) Prototyping With Teensy 3.1/3.2
The Teensy is a breadboard-friendly development board that comes with loads of features in a very small package. Each Teensy 3.1 or 3.2 comes pre-flashed with a boot-loader so it can be programmed using the on-board USB connection, i.e. there is no external programmer required. You can program for the Teensy in your favorite program editor using C or you can [...]
mbed LPC1768 Baseboards With CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) Port
This post is part of a series on CAN Bus and SAE J1939 Prototyping with the ARM Cortex M3 processor.I will take a risk by repeating myself over and over again by saying that the mbed LPC1768, as well as the Arduino Due, is utterly useless in its bare form. In order to accomplish any [...]
Arduino Due CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) Interfaces
This post is part of a series on CAN Bus and SAE J1939 Prototyping with the ARM Cortex M3 processor.As it turns out, the Arduino Due, just like a myriad of other embedded systems with CAN interfaces, was developed under the best intentions, but these intentions were focussed on providing a low-price ARM processor solution [...]
SAE J1939/13 Off-Board Diagnostic Connector
This post is part of a series on CAN Bus and SAE J1939 Prototyping with the ARM Cortex M3 processor. In order to connect your embedded system to a real vehicle network, you will need to provide the proper wiring and connectors. In the following, I will explain connections as they are used in the industry, but my [...]
Arduino Due - Microcontroller Board Based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU
This post is part of a series on CAN Bus and SAE J1939 Prototyping with the ARM Cortex M3 processor. According to the official Arduino website: The Arduino Due is a microcontroller board based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU. It is the first Arduino board based on a 32-bit ARM core microcontroller. It has 54 digital input/output pins [...]
