Fun Internet of Things (IoT) Projects With Arduino
Arduino is a powerful and very versatile platform used by millions of people around the world to create DIY electronics projects. It can be connected to a wide variety of sensors and other components, making it the ideal platform to build fantastic Internet of Things (IoT) projects on―the next wave in the era of computing.This book [...]
ATmega64 Development Board Designed For Rapid Prototyping
The STK64+ by WaveShare is a complete, cost-effective development board for the ATmega64. It is designed to provide embedded system designers a quick start to developing code on the ATmega64 MCU and supports them with developing a prototype device quickly and easily.The ATmega64 chip resides on a device board, which sits on top of the motherboard; hence, allowing [...]
Circuitry Provides Robust ESD And Transient Protection For Automotive CAN Bus, CAN-FD And CAN Bus Transceiver Nodes
Semtech (USA) has launched the µClamp2492SQ chip, which is AEC-Q100 compliant. The 24-V transient voltage protection array is optimized to safeguard automotive CAN Bus nodes from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and overvoltage transient threats. It features an 18-pF capacitance. To sufficiently implement ESD immunity, CAN Bus nodes require ESD protection circuits with 24-V operating voltage and a low ESD clamping [...]
Power Over Ethernet HAT For Raspberry Pi 3B+ And 802.3af PoE Network
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology for wired Ethernet local area networks (LANs) that allows the electrical current necessary for the operation of each device to be carried by the data cables rather than by power cords. Doing so minimizes the number of wires that must be strung to install the network. PoE was [...]
LIN (Local Interconnect Network) Prototyping For Embedded Systems Such As Arduino, Raspberry Pi
LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial network protocol used for communication between components in vehicles. The demand for a second serial network emerged as the technologies and the facilities implemented in modern cars grew, while the CAN Bus was too expensive to implement for every component in the car. European car manufacturers started using [...]
CAN FD (CAN Bus with Flexible Data Rate) Prototyping For Embedded Systems Such As Arduino, Raspberry Pi
CAN FD was created to accommodate increases in bandwidth requirements within automotive networks. The CAN FD protocol has brought the software closer to "real time" through the minimization of delays between instruction and transfer of data (latency) and higher bandwidth. CAN FD also allows for more storage capacity in a data frame. While the classic CAN [...]
Embedded Computing System based on Freescale i.MX6 Quad Supports Two CAN Bus FD Ports
Janz Tec introduced a series of embedded computers with CAN Bus FD interfaces which can also connect to the IT world.In regards to CAN Bus connectivity, the embedded systems emPC-A/iMX6, emPC-X and the Industrial IoT Gateway series support the CAN FD protocol according to ISO 11898-1:2015, combining the advantages of embedded systems and CAN FD protocols, such as space-saving [...]
