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 [...]

The Easiest Way Installing A Bluetooth Interface On The Arduino Due And Mega 2560
Whenever it comes to setting up new applications, I usually come back to the Arduino Due, while the Mega 2560 is a close second choice. This next new project was an SAE J1939 (a CAN Bus based higher layer protocol) to Bluetooth interface. The idea was to connect an ARM-Processor-based hardware to a vehicle network [...]
Home Security Network Development Using The Arduino Platform
The Arduino is an open source micro-controller built on a single circuit board that is capable of receiving sensory input from the environment and controlling interactive physical objects. It is also a development environment that allows the writing of software to the board, and is programmed in the Arduino programming language. It is used for a variety [...]
