Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Projects with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, And Smartphones
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a wireless personal area network technology designed and marketed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth SIG) aimed at novel applications in the healthcare, fitness, beacons, security, and home entertainment industries. Compared to Classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy is intended to provide considerably reduced power consumption and cost while maintaining a [...]
Compact Industrial PC With CAN Bus Interface Designed For IoT Applications
The Automation PC 2200 is the latest generation of B&R's 2000 series of industrial PCs. Equipped with Intel Atom processors from the Apollo Lake generation, the PC is available in either box PC or panel PC format.Despite its small dimensions, the product is a full PC system. A field-bus connection like CAN Bus can be configured individually. Compact [...]
Software Tool Simplifies The Design Of In-Vehicle CAN Bus Networks Based On SAE J1939
Mentor, a Siemens business, introduced their Capital Systems Networks, an advanced software tool engineered to speed and simplify the creation of in-vehicle Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) communications networks based on the SAE J1939 standard for diesel engines. The solution provides a technology to help engineers rapidly develop, optimize and validate SAE J1939 networks. Commonly deployed in heavy-duty commercial [...]
Motor Control With Arduino Mega 2560, Raspberry Pi, Or BeagleBone Black
Makers can do amazing things with motors. Yes, they may be more complicated than some other circuit elements, but with this book, you can completely master them. Once you do, many incredible new projects become possible. First, the author Matthew Scarpino explains how electric motors work and what you need to know about each major type, [...]
CAN-over-IP Gateway With JSON Interface For Integration Into IoT Environments
The PCAN-Gateway product family by Peak-System enables the connection of CAN Bus networks via Ethernet IP connection. The CAN Bus messages are packed as data in TCP or UDP messages and transmitted via IP network, allowing CAN Bus systems to be integrated into IoT environments plus having an alternative access point for remote diagnostics. The configuration of the PCAN-Gateways [...]
Fleet Management System (FMS) Using Mobile Devices To Connect To SAE J1939 Networks
WABCO Holdings Inc., a global supplier of technologies that improve the safety, efficiency and connectivity of commercial vehicles, announced the launch of TRAXEE™, its new Fleet Management System (FMS), which is designed to meet the specific needs of operators of small to medium-size commercial fleets. The onboard unit connects to the truck’s CAN Bus / SAE J1939 system.The FMS [...]
LIN Bus Configuration And Test Environment for Embedded Solutions Such As The Arduino Uno
LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial network protocol used for communication between components in vehicles. The need for a cheap serial network arose as the technologies and the facilities implemented in the car grew, while the CAN bus was too expensive to implement for every component in the car. European car manufacturers started using [...]
Arduino DUE CORE Board With Dual CAN Bus Interface And Extended Power Supply Range
As part of our business strategy of providing prototyping solutions for the CAN Bus (including SAE J1939, ISOBUS, NMEA 2000) we have decided to focus more on the Arduino platform, specifically the Arduino Due. The Due, while providing the power of an ARM Cortex M3 processor, comes with two CAN Bus ports per default, however, lacking [...]
Versatile PC Diagnostics Interface With CAN Bus, CAN FD, And LIN Ports
The VCI-Muxdiag-3 by Exxotest (France) is a versatile PC interface. It is particularly suitable for communication analysis and diagnostics applications on multi-bus vehicle architectures. The product is compatible with the following communication channels: Classical CAN Bus, CAN FD, LIN, and more. The dimensions of 131 mm x 65 mm x 25 mm make it possible to transport the product for [...]
Programmable Controller With CAN FD And Ethernet Ports For Commercial Vehicle Applications
Bosch Rexroth, in cooperation with Bosch, has developed and offers controllers for mobile working machines. It combines multiple features, such as free programmability with a new hardware architecture and a software concept within the framework of the Bosch electric/electronic (E/E) architecture for commercial vehicles and mobile working machines.In addition to advanced multi-core processors, it uses ASICs [...]
