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. [...]
Exploring BeagleBone: Tools and Techniques for Building IoT And CAN Bus Applications Using Embedded Linux
Exploring BeagleBone is a hands-on guide to producing gadgets, gizmos, and robots employing the popular BeagleBone embedded Linux platform. Comprehensive content and in-depth detail present more than just a BeagleBone instruction manual; you also learn the underlying engineering techniques allowing you to build your projects. The book opens with a foundational primer on necessary skills, and then [...]
Automotive Grade CAN FD Transceiver Plus Digital Isolator For Electric Vehicle Systems
Texas Instruments (TI) introduced its TCAN1044EV-Q1 Grade 0 CAN FD transceiver and the ISO7741E-Q1 Grade 0 digital isolator for reliable communication and protection in (hybrid) electric vehicle systems that are exposed to temperatures of up to +125 °C (257 °F).The devices are classified according to the Grade 0 ambient operating temperature specification of the AEC-Q100 (Automotive Electronics Council) [...]
Gateway Controller With UART Interface Embeds Non-CANopen Systems Into CANopen Networks
The CO401GW2-BBD by frenzel & berg electronic is a small-size plug-in module based on the single-chip controller CO401GW2. This module comes with an onboard CAN transceiver, allowing immediate connection to the CAN bus without further components. The CO401GW2 gateway controller provides a gateway to a virtual I/O-area in the CANopen-system. The external access is accomplished via a [...]
Arduino Breakout Board Connects Classic CAN Bus and CAN FD Networks
Many users involved with CAN Bus programming (and exploring the extended capabilities of CAN FD) may not be aware that Classic CAN Bus and CAN FD are excluding each other due to compatibility issues. For more detailed information, see our post CAN FD On A Legacy CAN Bus Network Is Not A Good Idea Due To [...]
RobotDyn - Data Logger Shield For Arduino - Development Resources
To mention it upfront, we don't sell the data logger shield for the Arduino. As a matter of fact, I bought this board out of pure curiosity, because it fits and complements our Arduino-Based ECU Development Board With Dual CAN Bus Interface. This combination bares the potential for creating a low-price CAN Bus data logger.I was [...]
CAN Bus Router Connects Classic CAN And CAN FD Networks And Operates As A CAN Bus Recorder
PEAK-System Technik has extended its product range with its programmable PCAN-Router Pro FD, which connects the data traffic of up to six CAN FD or classic CAN Bus networks. The routing from CAN Bus to CAN FD or vice versa enables the integration of new CAN FD applications into existing CAN 2.0 systems.Note: Classic CAN Bus [...]
Tablet PC For In-Vehicle Networks Supports CAN Bus - SAE J1939 And Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces For IoT Applications
The X7R from Waysion Technology (China) is a 7-inch tablet PC designed to operate within truck in-cab and other applications within harsh environments.A CAN Bus interface maintains data communications via an extension cable, and it supports the 29-bit CAN-identifier. If required, the SAE J1939 higher-layer protocol can be implemented using an additional converter. The device receives data from CAN [...]
C Programming For The Internet-Of-Things (IoT) Under Linux
Applying C is the book you need if you are programming for Single Board Computers (SBCs) that operate under Linux, or if you perform any coding in C that interacts with the hardware. As there is not the right name for this body of knowledge, it is not easy to find a single source for [...]
Control Unit With Two CAN Bus Ports Supports CoDeSys Programming
Epec has released the Ec44 control unit, representing a new member of the Epec product. The controller comes in a new enclosure and a 46-pin Leavyseal connector with lever locking. The controller has a powerful 32-bit processor and large internal memory for application and parameters, two CAN Bus ports, Codesys 3.5 programming, and 16 inputs and outputs. The [...]
