The Benefits Of Controller Area Network - CAN Bus - For Embedded Applications
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. Controller Area Network, like any field-bus system based on serial communication, will reduce wiring, which was initially considered only as an advantageous side effect. Distributed control, i.e., the use of a multi-processor system, will consequently result in increased performance, and the vastly reduced costs [...]

Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) - Remote Frame And Avoiding Of Usage
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. Experience over the years has revealed some quirks in the CAN Bus protocol, which are naturally not covered by any official document, and one of them has led to the call to avoid CAN remote frames. In August of 2005, CAN-in-Automation (CiA) published (but [...]
Espruino - Open-Source JavaScript Interpreter For STM32 Microcontrollers
The Espruino is an open-source JavaScript interpreter for microcontrollers. It is designed for devices with small amounts of RAM (as low as 8kB). It was created by Gordon Williams in 2012 as an effort to make microcontroller development genuinely multiplatform. Though initially not open-source, the Espruino firmware was offered as a free download for STM32 microcontrollers. [...]
