Safe Wireless CAN Bus Bridge For Machine To Machine Communication Also Supports SAE J1939
The CAN-Sync wireless CAN Bus bridge from Humanistic Robotics (HRI) allows the user to transmit CAN data wirelessly over a transparent point-to-point bridge, without modifying the data. Higher-Layer Protocols such as SAE J1939 and CANopen are also supported.The product provides a wireless link between two CAN Bus interfaces with HRI’s Safetysense technology which is designed to guarantee that critical control [...]
SAE J1939 - Serial Control And Communications Vehicle Network
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Truck and Bus Control and Communications Subcommittee has developed a family of standards concerning the design and use of devices that transmit electronic signals and control information among vehicle components. SAE J1939 and its companion documents have quickly become the accepted industry standard and the Controller Area Network [...]
Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) - Serial Network Technology For Embedded Systems
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial network technology that was originally designed for the automotive industry, especially for European cars, but has also become a popular bus in industrial automation as well as other applications. The CAN bus is primarily used in embedded systems, and as its name implies, is a network technology that provides fast communication among microcontrollers [...]
Arduino Due - Programming And Debugging Using JTAG ICE And Atmel Studio
Atmel’s SAM3X series MCUs are great for users who want to move further from the world of 8bit/16bit microcontrollers to 32bit ARM Cortex core MCUs. One of the most famous device in this series is SAM3X8E, Atmel’s Smart ARM microcontroller. The development platform of choice for getting started with the SAM3X8E is the Arduino Due board. The SAM3X8E [...]
