PiCAN2, PiCAN3, and PiCAN-M Driver Installation for Raspberry Pi
This post provides you a brief overview on the steps required to install the software driver on the Raspberry Pi for use with the PiCAN2, PiCAN3, and PiCAN-M CAN Bus HATs, including the dual-port and SMPS versions. Please refer also to the board's user manual. Start by creating a new SD card image with the Raspberry Pi [...]
CAN Bus to Internet-of-Things (IoT) Projects with the ESP32
The integration of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth LE allows a wide range of applications with our modules. Using Wi-Fi secures connectivity within a large radius while using Bluetooth enables the user to efficiently detect (with low-energy beacons) a module and connect it to a smartphone. With in-built antenna switches, RF balun, power amplifier, low-noise receive [...]
A Simple SAE J1939 to USB Gateway with the Arduino Uno, Mega 2560, Due, Teensy, ESP32
The following is an excerpt from SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino by Wilfried VossI deem it necessary to clarify the definition of “SAE J1939 to USB Gateway” because there are several variants of gateway applications.If you browse through the Internet in search for SAE J1939 gateways, you will primarily find CAN [...]
What is the Difference Between SAE J1939 and NMEA 2000?
After developing and programming multiple SAE J1939 devices over the years, I was curious to determine the difference between SAE J1939 and NMEA 2000. There are some valid reasons why I didn't consider an expansion into NMEA 2000, and they all have to do with the immense costs related to NMEA 2000 development. First of [...]
