Programming Atmel's AVR Microcontrollers, The Chips That Power Arduino
Atmel's AVR microcontrollers are the chips that power the Arduino platform and are the go-to chip for many hobbyists and their hardware hacking projects. In this book, you set aside the layers of abstraction implemented by the Arduino environment and learn how to program AVR microcontrollers instantly. In doing so, you learn more about the chip, and you [...]
Industrial Motherboard With Intel Core Processor, Intel Q370, USB 3.1, SATA 3.0, Dual LANs, And VGA/DP/DVI-D/HDMI
Axiomtek introduced their IMB523, an industrial ATX motherboard powered by the LGA1151 socket 8th generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3, Pentium and Celeron processors (codename: Coffee Lake) with the Intel Q370 chipset. The ATX motherboard features four 288-pin DDR4-2666/2400 DIMMs with a memory capacity up to 64GB to meet the requirements of high-density computing applications. The Intel Coffee Lake-based ATX [...]
Battery Charger With SAE J1939 Interface Suitable For Electric Vehicles
The RC1000 24-V battery charger from Delta-Q is intended for use in residential and industrial electric applications as well as electric vehicles. The CAN Bus interface, supporting the CANopen and SAE J1939 higher-layer protocols, provides real-time charger data including charge status, charge history as well as error and fault logs for quicker troubleshooting. The charger is suitable for applications in [...]
SAE J1939 Joystick Is A Hand-Operated Hall Effect Controller Designed For In-Cab Vehicle Applications
The HJ series of joysticks by Apem (USA) are hand-operated devices for in-cab vehicle applications. They are CAN-Bus-connectable, meaning the joysticks support CAN Bus protocols such as CANopen and SAE J1939. They apply non-contacting Hall-effect sensors, and they are designed for up to five million usage cycles. The products provide several handle options. Typical applications include refuse handling trucks, snow [...]
Using LabVIEW To Automate Arduino Projects Without Writing Code
If you already have some knowledge of working with LabVIEW and want to utilize your skills to control physical objects and make measurements using sensors under the Arduino platform, this book is for you. Prior knowledge of Arduino and LabVIEW is essential to understand the projects detailed in this book thoroughly. This book covers various projects that [...]
SAE J1939 C Library - Including Source Code - for CAN-Enabled PICmicro Microcontrollers
SAE J1939 is a series of SAE recommended practices that have been developed to provide a standard architecture by which various electronic systems on a vehicle can communicate. It was developed by the Truck and Bus Control and Communications Network Subcommittee of the Truck and Bus Electrical and Electronics Committee, but its application is not [...]
Guide To SAE J1939 - Address Claiming Procedure Overview
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Guide To J1939 by Wilfried Voss. While other higher layer protocols based on the CAN Bus do not support dynamic node address assignments per default, the SAE J1939 standard provides yet another ingeniously designed feature to uniquely identify ECUs and their primary function.Note: The CAN standard in itself does not support node (ECU) addresses, only [...]
Guide To SAE J1939 - Parameter Group Numbers (PGN)
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Guide To J1939 by Wilfried Voss. SAE J1939 is a very ingeniously designed protocol that takes a resourceful advantage of the CAN 29-Bit message identifier. Rather than relying on a myriad of protocol functions, SAE J1939 uses predefined parameter tables, which keeps the actual protocol on a comprehensible level. However, these parameter tables [...]
Isolated CAN Transceiver With 70-V Bus Fault Protection and Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD)
Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced two more CAN Bus transceivers. They offer ±70-VDC bus-fault protection and ±30-V common-mode voltage range. The ISO1042 and ISO1042-Q1 help engineers protecting low-voltage circuits and increase communication bandwidth in industrial applications such as grid infrastructure, motor drives and building automation, as well as hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (HEVs/EVs). Used in conjunction [...]
Guide To SAE J1939 - J1939 Message Format
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Guide To J1939 by Wilfried Voss. The main document describing the J1939 message format is SAE J1939/21 – Data Link Layer. J1939/21 defines the use of the CAN data frame (29-bit identifier, Parameter Group Numbers – PGN, etc.) and the transport protocol functions, i.e. a definition of how messages longer than the standard [...]
