SAE J1939 Starter Kit and Network Simulator - New Hardware Variant Using the ESP32 Processor
Our SAE 1939 Starter Kit and Network Simulators allow experienced engineers and beginners to experiment with SAE J1939 data communication without connecting to a real-world J1939 network, i.e., a diesel engine. To establish a network, you need at least two nodes. That fact applies, especially to CAN/J1939 nodes. A single CAN Bus controller will shut [...]
Arduino Portenta H7 - Dual-Core STM32 Processor Board with Two CAN FD Ports and Support for Arduino IoT Cloud
The Portenta H7's central processor is represented by the dual-core STM32H747, including a Cortex M7 at 480 MHz and a Cortex M4 at 240 MHz. The two cores intercommunicate through a Remote Procedure Call mechanism that seamlessly enables calling functions on the other processor. Both processors share on-chip peripherals and can run Arduino Sketches on the Arm [...]
CAN Bus Development with ESP32-WROOM32 Development Board
This post will demonstrate how to add a CAN Bus port to the ESP32-WROOM32 development board, i.e., regarding hardware and software. Download this post as PDF... As a matter of fact, we already offer a hardware utilizing the ESP32 processor and an onboard CAN Bus transceiver as shown in the image to the left. The ESP32 WiFi, Bluetooth [...]
Embedded CAN Bus, SAE J1939, NMEA 2000 Development With ESP32
Like many businesses in the CAN Bus marketplace, we have struggled with the global shortage of electronic components. For instance, our SAE J1939 gateways are equipped with NXP processors, mainly the LPC1754 and LPC1768. Unfortunately, both processors are currently unavailable, and they come with remarkably long delivery times that go well into next year. We [...]

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts are looking for a way to fast boot a Raspberry Pi mini-PC. They may be interested in a new project available via Github. The project describes the fast booting of a Raspberry Pi 32 Linux in under two seconds. Check out the video link below to demonstrate how quickly you can [...]
Position, Speed, Inclination Encoders With SAE J1939 And CANopen Interface
Siko (Germany) introduced their wire-actuated Pure.Mobile encoder family that measures position, speed, and inclination using an integrated single-axis inclination sensor. The encoders' sensor data utilizes serial protocols, including CANopen, CANopen safety, and SAE J1939. Mobile machines must always function precisely and efficiently, whether lifting platforms, mobile cranes or self-concrete pumps. Sensors are suitable for detecting the machines' movements, [...]
DIN Rail Ethernet to CAN/CAN FD Interface Supports SAE J1939, NMEA 2000, CANopen
Kvaser introduced their DIN Rail SE410S-X10 Ethernet-to-CAN(FD) multi-channel interface with additional I/O support through add-on modules.Kvaser supplies advanced CAN Bus solutions to engineers designing and deploying systems in areas as wide-ranging as trucks and buses, petrol-driven and electric cars, industrial automation, avionics, construction equipment, building automation, domestic appliances, marine, medical, military, railway, telecoms, textiles and more.The [...]
Multi-Turn SAE J1939 Encoders Enable Wear-Free And Maintenance-Free Operation
Turck, a specialist in sensor, Fieldbus, and connectivity, has added single- and multi-turn encoders with a solid or hollow shaft for mobile and agricultural machinery to its Industrial and Efficiency Line portfolio. The IP67-protected encoders are available in sizes 36 mm, 46 mm, and 58 mm. Two interlocked bearings guarantee a solid mechanical design and protect from [...]
SAE J1939 Data Acquisition System For Diesel Engines Measures And Records 23 Suspect Parameter Numbers (SPNs)
The Titan S8-CAN by Madgetech (USA) represents a data acquisition system for diesel engines that simultaneously measures and records 23 suspect parameter numbers (SPNs). The portable data logger suits engine, road, and diagnostic testing applications. It connects to an SAE J1939 network via the diagnostic port and supports the monitoring and recording of SAE J1939 messages between Tier 1 [...]
