Arduino DUE CORE Board With Dual CAN Bus Interface And Extended Power Supply Range

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 [...]

Under Development: SAE J1708 to UART Breakout Board For Embedded Systems

SAE J1708 is a standard used for serial communications between ECUs on a heavy duty vehicle and also between a computer and the vehicle. With respect to Open System Interconnection model (OSI), J1708 defines the physical layer. Common higher layer protocols that operate on top of J1708 are SAE J1587 and SAE J1922. The protocol [...]

In-Vehicle IP65-rated Box Computer Supports CAN Bus, OBD-II, SAE J1939, And SAE J1708

The MVS series of electronic control units (ECU) by Nexcom features CAN connectivity, and it provides up to four slots for mini-PCIe modules. The modular vehicle computers are equipped with Intel’s 6th generation Core processors on the MVS 5600-IPK or with the Atom processor on the MVS 2620-IPK. The MVS series can aggregate real-time vehicle information from micro-controller [...]

Monitoring SAE J1708/J1587 Data Traffic Using The Arduino Mega2560 Or Arduino Due

First of all, let me point out that this post is merely about monitoring SAE J1708/J1587 data traffic, i.e. the mere reading of data frames. SAE J1708, the hardware layer, is based on RS485, however, with a small hardware modification that allows message collision detection and prevention. In the following, I am using an RS485 [...]
