SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino - Introduction
This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. It is important to know that neither the Arduino Uno nor the Arduino Mega 2560, even though perfect for prototyping due to low price and ease of programming, are not, in their bare form, an industrial-strength solution, not only in terms of [...]
Beginner-Friendly Collection Of Electronics Projects Using The Low-Cost Arduino Board
The Arduino Project Handbook is a beginner-friendly collection of electronics projects using the low-cost Arduino board. With only a handful of components, an Arduino, and a computer, you will learn to build and program everything from light shows to arcade games to an ultrasonic security system.First, you will get set up with an introduction to the Arduino [...]
CAN Bus Prototyping With Arduino Uno - Arduino CAN Sketches
This post is part of a series about Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) Prototyping With the Arduino Uno.The implementation of either one of the introduced CAN Bus Shields and the corresponding CAN Bus sketches went surprisingly smooth when paired with the right library software. I found several source codes for accessing the MCP2515 CAN controller, but most of [...]
Arduino Technical Reference And Handbook For Technicians, Engineers, And Makers
Rather than yet another project-based workbook, Arduino: A Technical Reference is a reference and handbook that thoroughly describes the electrical and performance aspects of an Arduino board and its software. This book brings together in one place all the information you need to get something done with Arduino. It will save you from endless web searches [...]
CAN With Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD) Devices For Embedded Systems Such As Raspberry Pi, Arduino, And Teensy
Developed by Bosch (Germany), CAN with Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD) is an extension to the original CAN Bus protocol as specified in ISO 11898-1 that responds to increased bandwidth requirements in automotive and industrial networks. CAN FD is supported by semiconductor chip manufacturers and end users alike, with Infineon, NXP, Daimler and GM among the [...]
Arduino Projects for the Internet of Things - Experiments with Real-World Applications
Gain a strong foundation of Arduino-based device development, from which you can go in any direction according to your specific development needs and desires. You will build Arduino-powered devices for everyday use, and then connect those devices to the Internet. You will be introduced to the building blocks of the Internet of Things (IoT), and then deploy those [...]
Building Sensor Networks With Arduino, Raspberry Pi, And XBee Radio Modules
Beginning Sensor Networks with Arduino and Raspberry Pi teaches you how to build sensor networks with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and XBee radio modules, and even shows you how to turn your Raspberry Pi into a MySQL database server to store your sensor data! First you will learn about the different types of sensors and sensor networks, including how to build a [...]
CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) Projects with ARM Cortex M3 and Arduino Uno
This book details the use of the ARM Cortex-M family of processors and the Arduino Uno in practical CAN bus based projects. Inside, it gives a detailed introduction to the architecture of the Cortex-M family whilst providing examples of popular hardware and software development kits. Using these kits helps to simplify the embedded design cycle [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
