Electronic Logging Device Concept: Small Form-Factor ELD Based On Raspberry Pi With CAN Bus Port And GSM/GPRS/GNSS Support
An electronic logging device (ELD) is an electronic hardware that is attached to a commercial motor vehicle engine to record driving hours. The driving hours of commercial drivers (truck and bus drivers) are regulated by a set of rules known as the hours of service (HOS). The Commercial Vehicle Driver Hours of Service Regulations vary in Canada [...]
Wireless Internet of Things (IoT) Starter Kit With GPS & GSM Monitors Fill Levels
Pepperl+Fuchs introduced a level sensor that transmits its data to a secure remote station in the industrial Internet of Things. The IoT sensor WILSEN.sonic.level comes with a bundle that includes a starter package with the WILSEN.service and a business data platform, which allows users to determine the value of the IoT system for their application. With the [...]
Easy Integration Of CANopen Or SAE J1939 Protocol Stack Into Any Embedded System With Serial Input
The simple assumption behind the statement of easy integration of a CANopen or SAE J1939 protocol stack is that virtually every embedded system (and even other industrial controls such as PLCs) do have a serial port of some sort, mostly UART, RS232, or USB. "Easy" also implies that you don't have to go through major [...]
Fanless Embedded Intel Core & Celeron System with CAN Bus and CANopen Option
The eBOX700-891‑FL from Axiomtek is a fanless embedded system with numerous expansion options. It reserves space for additional CAN Bus or CANopen modules.The embedded system supports dual DDR4-2133 SO-DIMM slots with up to 32 GiB system memory, and it is suited for vision inspection (USB/PoE), motion control, security surveillance, and industrial automation. The box PC is powered [...]
Fun Internet of Things (IoT) Projects With Arduino
Arduino is a powerful and very versatile platform used by millions of people around the world to create DIY electronics projects. It can be connected to a wide variety of sensors and other components, making it the ideal platform to build fantastic Internet of Things (IoT) projects on―the next wave in the era of computing.This book [...]
Internet-of-Things (IoT) Development Kit For Win 10 IoT And Azure Platform
The Grove Kit for Win10 IoT Core & Azure Platform by Seeed Studio is an IoT development kit that contains Grove hardware modules designed for Microsoft Azure services.Unlike the traditional Grove Getting Started kit, this kit is not concerned with how to write hardware driver or embedded development but instead helps you quickly understand and learn how to [...]
Azure Sphere IoT Development Kit Comes With A Set Of Visual Studio Tools
The Azure Sphere MT3620 Development Kit is specially designed for rapid prototyping and help to gain experience with the Azure Sphere technology. The MT3620 is the first Azure Sphere certified MCU. Azure Sphere certified MCUs are a new class of secured, connected crossover microcontrollers.The MT3620 features three user-accessible microcontroller cores, one application processor subsystem based on an [...]
Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) - Message Broadcasting
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. The broadcasting of messages in a CAN Bus network is based on a producer-consumer principle. One node, when sending a message, will be the producer while all other nodes are the consumers. All nodes in a CAN Bus network receive the same message at the [...]
Dual PT100 RTD to CAN Bus Converter With Programmable CAN Bus Message Interval
RTD (Resistance Temperature Detectors) is a temperature sensor that contains a resistor that changes resistance value as its temperature changes. They have been used for many years to measure temperature in a laboratory and industrial process, and have developed a reputation for accuracy, repeatability, and stability. Most RTD elements consist of a length of fine coiled [...]
