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 [...]
Fanless Embedded Box PC with ARM + Nvidia Jetson TX2 Platform For IoT Applications
AAEON, a developer in AI and Industry 4.0 solutions, announced the release of their BOXER-8130AI. Powered by NVidia Jetson TX2, the BOXER-8130AI is suitable for machine vision and IoT gateway applications. The BOXER-8130AI features the NVidia Jetson TX2 CPU joined by 8GB LPDDR4 memory and 32GB eMMC storage onboard. With two processors onboard, the Dual Denver 2 [...]
Guide to Hacking the Internet of Things and Learning IoT Security
Recent years have seen the hacking of IoT devices like never before. We have seen attacks such as the Mirai Botnet, vulnerabilities in popular cars, hacking of IoT rifles, attackers taking advantage of smart toys and the list goes on. Everything is getting connected like never before, yet, security is one of the last thoughts [...]
Vehicle Tracking Device With CAN Bus Gateway Connects OBD-II Or SAE J1939 To Remote TCP Servers
Falcom (Germany) has introduced their Iobox-CAN, which connects to the Fox3-2G/3G/4G gateway via USB. The Fox3-2G/3G/4G gateway, in turn, links to a CAN Bus vehicle network (e.g., per OBDII interface) and reads the CAN Bus data and transmits it to a remote TCP server. The Iobox-CAN provides a second independent CAN Bus interface. It also comes with [...]
STM32 Solder-On-Module (SOM) With Linux BSP Supports Two CAN Bus Ports
DH Electronics introduced their Solder-on module (SOM) which can be soldered onto a carrier board. Direct soldering of the DHCOR increases operational reliability in harsh environments and saves board-to-board connectors. With a small footprint of 29 mm² x 29 mm², the DHCOR STM32MP15x module comes with processors of the STM32MP1 family. These hybrid multi-processors combine the Cortex-M4 [...]
CAN Bus To Ethernet TCP/IP Gateway Also Supports Bridge Mode
The EtherCAN/2 by esd electronics is a hat-rail mounted gateway that exchanges data between CAN Bus and Ethernet networks. In bridge mode, two EtherCAN/2 modules can be used to connect two CAN Bus networks via TCP/IP.The unit comes with one Ethernet interface (10/100 Mbit/s, RJ45) and one CAN Bus high speed (ISO 11898-2) compatible interface (20 kBit/s up [...]
