Raspberry Pi With CAN Bus Or SAE J1939 Turbo Interface Board
A note upfront: The CAN interface board for the Raspberry Pi as described in the following, specifically the firmware code, is under current development. The hardware is currently in production, and the release is targeted for the end of February 2017. If you have a special interest in running the SAE J1939 protocol on the Raspberry [...]
CAN Bus Interface For the Raspberry Pi 2/3 Comes With Various Options
The PiCAN2 board series by Copperhill Technologies provides CAN Bus capabilities for the Raspberry Pi 2 or 3. The boards (with the exception of the dual isolated interface) use the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller in combination with the MCP2551 CAN transceiver. There is an easy to install SocketCAN driver, and programming can be accomplished in C [...]
Digital I/O Carrier Board for the Raspberry Pi Single-Board Computer
Industrial automation manufacturer and IoT (Internet of Things) system developer Opto 22 has announced the release of their Digital I/O Carrier Board for the Raspberry Pi SBC, which enables the RPi to sense or switch up to 16 individually selectable electrical loads ranging from 2.5 to 280 VAC/VDC, with solid-state power and reliability. This carrier board provides [...]
Arduino Or Raspberry Pi - Which System Is Better Suited For CAN Bus Projects?
To say it upfront, the choice between the Arduino platform and the Raspberry Pi is primarily a personal matter, depending on factors like knowledge of programming and programming languages, preferences for operating systems, and, after all, hardware knowledge. Both system architectures, while being very different from each other, provide vast software and hardware support for [...]
Raspberry Pi Cookbook: Python Programming And Hardware Access
With millions of new users and several new models, the Raspberry Pi ecosystem continues to expand, along with a myriad of new questions about the Raspberry Pi’s capabilities.The second edition of this popular cookbook by Simon Monk provides more than 240 hands-on projects for running this tiny low-cost computer with Linux and programming it with [...]
SAE J1939 ECU Simulator And Data Monitor for Raspberry Pi
The jCOM.J1939.USB gateway board is a high-performance, low-latency vehicle network adapter for SAE J1939 applications. It allows any host device with a USB COM port to monitor SAE J1939 data traffic and communicate with a SAE J1939 vehicle network. The board supports the full SAE J1939 protocol according to J1939/81 Network Management (Address Claiming) and J1939/21 Transport [...]
Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) Development And Prototyping with Raspberry Pi
The prototyping of Controller Area Network (CAN) applications used to be a tedious and expensive task, but the recent years have seen the emergence of low-cost, yet easy-to-use embedded development platforms such as the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard [...]
Turbo CAN Bus, SAE J1939 Board For Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Arduino, and Android Systems
As part of our embedded hardware and software development for CAN (Controller Area Network) based vehicle protocols, the first prototype of the jCOM.CAN.USB, a CAN/J1939 to USB/UART gateway board for embedded solutions, has passed the performance and quality tests successfully, and we are now ready to start production. The main focus of this board is the [...]
BeagleBone Green, Well Suited For IoT Applications, Boots Linux In Under 10 Seconds
The BeagleBoard is a low-power open-source hardware single-board computer produced by Texas Instruments in association with Digi-Key and Newark element14. The BeagleBoard was also designed with open source software development in mind, and as a way of demonstrating the Texas Instrument's OMAP3530 system-on-a-chip. The board was developed by a small team of engineers as an [...]
