Arduino Compatible LIN Bus And CAN Bus Development Kit
LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial network protocol used for communication between components in vehicles. The demand for a second serial network emerged as the technologies and the facilities implemented in modern cars grew, while the CAN Bus was too expensive to implement for every component in the car.The Arduino Compatible LIN Bus And CAN [...]
Non-Contact Sensing Of Classical CAN/CAN FD Signals
Hioki (Japan) has launched its clip-on device for non-contact monitoring of Classical CAN/CAN FD signals up to 3 Mbit/s, which allows the analysis of network signals without a direct galvanic connection.The SP7001 and SP7002 modules implement a 9-pin Dsub plug for connection to CAN interface modules such as, for instance, USB dongles. The link to the [...]

Comparison Of CAN Bus And Ethernet Features For Automotive Networking Applications
Ethernet, the most widely used LAN technology in homes, offices, and factories, is increasingly utilized in the automotive world in the form of Automotive Ethernet. Vehicles now routinely accommodate multiple cameras, on-board diagnostics, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), infotainment systems, and in-dash displays. With all the added hardware and software comes a massive demand for [...]
LIN To CAN Bus Gateway - Prototyping And Firmware Development With The Arduino-Compatible Teensy Board
In general, let's start with a brief comparison of CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) and LIN Bus (Local Interconnect Network): LIN Bus networks provide cost-efficient communication in applications where the bandwidth and versatility of the CAN Bus technology are not required. LIN Bus applications are relatively inexpensive using the standard serial universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) technology, which are embedded [...]
