Arduino Due Firmware Flaw: Problem With Using The USB Programming Port At 230400 Baud And Beyond
One of the improvements that came with the Arduino IDE's updates was an increased baud rate for the Serial Monitor. Well, there are many time-sensitive applications that will benefit from the speed gain, specifically when using one of the fastest Arduinos around, the Arduino Due with its ARM Cortex M3 processor. However, when you set the Serial [...]
ARM Cortex Processors – UART Programming Problem At Baud Rates Higher Than 115200
To say it upfront, I cannot confirm with 100% certainty that all ARM Cortex microcontrollers are affected by the UART programming problem as described in the following, but there are indications that make my assumption very probable. The outcome depends primarily on thorough testing of serial communication applications, but there is evidence to the contrary [...]
Programmable, Arduino-Due-Based USB Gateway With Two CAN Bus Ports
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 the [...]
Arduino DUE CORE Board With Dual CAN Bus Interface, Real-Time Clock, And SD Card
As I had mentioned in my post, Arduino DUE CORE Board With Dual CAN Bus Interface And Extended Power Supply Range, our business strategy is providing prototyping solutions for the CAN Bus (including SAE J1939, ISOBUS, NMEA 2000), and, in the months to follow, we will increase our focus on the Arduino platform, specifically the Arduino Due. Now [...]

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. Arduino Development Cookbook comprises clear and step-by-step [...]
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 [...]
SAE J1939 GPS Application With Arduino Due Delivers PGN 65267 (Vehicle Position)
I am repeating myself over and over, but the Arduino Due is my preferred choice when it comes to quick prototyping of SAE J1939 and CAN Bus applications. It is the ease of programming and the great performance that makes it all possible. In fact, I created this application in only a few hours, mostly [...]
Master The Arduino Due To Communicate through Ethernet, WiFi, USB, Firmata, and Xbee
Arduino Sketches is a practical guide to programming the increasingly popular microcontroller that brings gadgets to life. Accessible to tech-lovers at any level, this book provides expert instruction on Arduino programming and hands-on practice to test your skills. You will find coverage of the various Arduino boards, detailed explanations of each standard library, and guidance on [...]
Electronic Logging Device (ELD) - GPS And Real-Time Clock (RTC) Breakout Board For The Arduino Due
Lately, I had looked into the topic of Electronic Logging Devices (ELD). An ELD is electronic hardware that is attached to a commercial motor vehicle engine to record driving hours. The driving hours of commercial drivers (truck and bus drivers) are regulated by a set of rules known as the hours of service (HOS). An ELD monitors a vehicle’s [...]
