XMC Board With Four CAN Bus FD Ports And Optional IRIG-B
esd electronics announces their XMC-CAN/402-4-FD, an XMC board that comes with four independent CAN FD (CAN With Flexible Data Rate) interfaces according to ISO 11898-1:2015. They are driven by the ISO 16845:2004 certified esdACC (esd advanced CAN Core) implemented in the Altera FPGA. The FPGA supports bus mastering (first-party DMA) to transfer data to the host memory. [...]
PCI Express Module With Four Isolated CAN Bus Ports For Defense And Avionics Applications
Acropack CAN modules from Acromag (USA) target defense and avionics applications with PCIe mezzanine supporting Arinc 825 and CAN aerospace standards. The AP560 module provides four independent, isolated CAN channels. Each channel has a H13111 CAN controller by Holt paired with a galvanic isolated ADM3053 transceiver by Analog Devices. Designed for defense and avionics applications, the interface board is configurable to [...]
Hands-On Recipes To Quickly Build And Understand Arduino Projects And Their Development
The single-chip computer board Arduino is small in size but vast in scope, capable of being used for electronic projects from robotics through to home automation. The most popular embedded platform in the world, Arduino users range from school children to industry experts, all incorporating it into their designs.

New Development - Intelligent Power Supply - including UPS - for Raspberry Pi
It is important to re-iterate that the Raspberry Pi was originally developed as a low-cost computer system for children. However, the small size plus small price combined with a great performance made the RPi a great solution for all kinds of applications, may it be for home projects or even for industrial and automotive prototyping [...]
Arduino Due Design Flaw: Due Won't Start After Power-Off-On, Requires Reset
I had noticed the problem with resetting an Arduino Due "clone" for a while and finally started looking into a solution. In detail, the Arduino Due doesn't reliably start running its sketch after power is applied. This applies when power is applied per USB or through the external power supply. If power is removed for less than [...]
CANgineBerry - Active CANcrypt And CANopen Module For Raspberry Pi And Other Embedded Computing Platforms
The CANgineBerry CANopen is an active CAN co-processor module that uses a regular UART communication channel to connect to the host system. With its independent 32-bit microcontroller, the CANgineBerry can easily execute CAN protocols with tough timing demands such as CANcrypt or CANopen with response times of under 10 ms.Depending on the configuration, the CAN communication [...]
