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.Any embedded computing project is as much about the hardware as it is about the software. In this particular project, the ultimate goal is to run an SAE J1939 protocol stack (the software) on the Arduino (the hardware).Only a few years ago, [...]
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 [...]
CAN-to-CAN Bridge/Router with CAN FD Support Plus CAN Bus To Ethernet interface For Cloud Connectivity
HMS/IXXAT announced their Service Pack 1 (SP1) for the Ixxat CANbridge NT and CAN@net NT. This includes added features such as configurable and event-triggered Action Rules, and straight-forward cloud connectivity via MQTT. SP1 introduced Action Rules for CANbridge NT and CAN@net NT, allowing users to define a variety of actions to be performed automatically in response to received [...]
Safe Wireless CAN Bus Bridge For Machine To Machine Communication Also Supports SAE J1939
The CAN-Sync wireless CAN Bus bridge from Humanistic Robotics (HRI) allows the user to transmit CAN data wirelessly over a transparent point-to-point bridge, without modifying the data. Higher-Layer Protocols such as SAE J1939 and CANopen are also supported.The product provides a wireless link between two CAN Bus interfaces with HRI’s Safetysense technology which is designed to guarantee that critical control [...]
SAE J1939 - Serial Control And Communications Vehicle Network
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Truck and Bus Control and Communications Subcommittee has developed a family of standards concerning the design and use of devices that transmit electronic signals and control information among vehicle components. SAE J1939 and its companion documents have quickly become the accepted industry standard and the Controller Area Network [...]
Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) - Serial Network Technology For Embedded Systems
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial network technology that was originally designed for the automotive industry, especially for European cars, but has also become a popular bus in industrial automation as well as other applications. The CAN bus is primarily used in embedded systems, and as its name implies, is a network technology that provides fast communication among microcontrollers [...]
Monitoring SAE J1939 Data Using The Raspberry Pi Plus PiCAN2 CAN Bus Interface Board
During the past years, we have received multiple inquiries in regards to creating an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) using the Raspberry Pi in combination with our PiCAN2 CAN Bus interface board, where the PiCAN is being used to monitor SAE J1939 data.The mere monitoring of SAE J1939 data (Parameter Group Numbers - PGN) is fairly easy, [...]
SAE J1939 Compatible Joystick For Heavy-Duty And Off-Road Use
The TRY54 multifunction joystick from Megatron (Germany) was developed for operation of heavy-duty applications. It was designed for up to 10 million movement cycles. According to Megatron, the handling minimizes the risk of operating errors, and, due to its installation depth of less than 60 mm, the joystick can be integrated into construction machines or forklifts, where space [...]
Rugged 3.5 Inch Color Display For Commercial Vehicles Supports Two CAN Bus / SAE J1939 Ports
Veethree Instruments introduced their Veecan 320, a 3.5" display that provides CAN Bus (SAE J1939), USB, and EIA-232 connectivity. The front panel is IP66-rated, while the back is IP67-rated. This makes this 3.5-inch display suitable for commercial vehicles. The CAN Bus connectable device also provides seven analog inputs, three digital inputs, and four switched outputs. It features an internal [...]
Hand-Operated Joystick Device With SAE J1939 Protocol Output
The Curtis-Wright WM-580 CANBus joystick, available under the Williams Controls product brand, is designed for off-highway vehicles.Williams worked directly with equipment operators on product designs under the supervision of a kinesiologist. The resulting grip and control options are designed to minimize user fatigue and repetitive stress risk, while maximizing comfort, said the company. The input motions are [...]
