SAE J1939 Sensor Array Reports Vehicle Angular Rate, Acceleration, And Attitude Data Of Heavy-Duty, Off-Highway Vehicles
Honeywell's Tars (Transportation Attitude Reference System) series of 6D inertial sensor units allows the concurrent acquisition of rotation rate, acceleration, and tilt data for heavy-duty, off-highway, or other specialized vehicles. The sensors are available from SE Spezial-Electronic. The vehicle network protocol is SAE J1939. The reference sensor unit Tars-IMU operates either with a 5 VDC or 9 to [...]
IoT Development With ESP32 - Build Exciting And Powerful IoT Projects
The ESP32 is a series of low-cost, low-power System-on-Chip (SoC) microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth. The ESP32 series uses a Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor in both dual-core and single-core variations and includes built-in antenna switches, RF balun, power amplifier, low-noise receive amplifier, filters, and power management modules. Other components include around 48 I/O pins (variable) [...]
