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 [...]
