Webinar On Developing Custom Navigation, Localization And Attitude Applications For Autonomous Vehicles, Drones, Robotics
Aceinna and WPG Americas offer a webinar for developers of autonomous vehicle navigation products with CAN Bus interfaces. The webinar will take place on April 23, 2020, at 01:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada).The central topic will be about the use of Aceinna’s open-source IMUs (inertial measurement units) for developing guidance solutions for autonomous [...]
CAN Bus Programming With STM32, Developing with FreeRTOS, libopencm3 and GCC
Using FreeRTOS and libopencm3 rather than the Arduino software environment, this book will assist you in developing multi-tasking applications that go beyond Arduino norms. In addition to the standard peripherals found in the typical Arduino device, the STM32 system includes a USB controller, RTC (Real Time Clock), DMA (Direct Memory Access controller), CAN Bus, and more.Each chapter includes precise [...]
CAN Bus Controllers Quickly & Easily Expand CAN Bus Networks For Machinery
E-T-A's flexible and compact SCS10, SCS20, and SCS30 CAN Bus controllers can plug into industry-standard vehicle sockets without additional wiring and configured using a graphical programming environment. In addition to defining CAN Bus messages, a large number of logical links and time functions are available. The SCS (Smart Control Systems) product group holds intelligent systems, power [...]
CAN Bus Hub With Three Female, One Male D-SUB9 Connector, And Adjustable Termination Resistor
The T-cannector v2 by Kvaser represents a CAN Bus hub with three female and one male D-SUB9 connectors. Used typically in application developments, the device offers an adjustable CAN termination resistor (120 Ohm, 60 Ohm, or unterminated). It renders an affordable and safe way of terminating a CAN Bus circuit, as well as applying power to devices that [...]
Compact Embedded ARM iMX6 UltraLite Computer Supports CAN Bus, Ethernet, USB, RS-232, RS-485
Technologic Systems launched their TS-7100, a small-size single-board computer with an optional DIN-mountable enclosure that measures 2.4" by 3.6" by 1.7". It is powered by the ARM iMX6 UltraLite microprocessor, and it ships with a variety of industry-standard interfaces, including Ethernet, USB, RS-232, RS-485, and CAN Bus. A Linux PC is recommended for development and will be assumed [...]
Design Concept: Ethernet Controller For Embedded IoT Systems And Automotive Networking
We at Copperhill Technologies have plans to create gateways for automotive networking, which includes serial protocols such as Automotive Ethernet, CAN (Controller Area Network), and LIN (Local Interconnect Network). The following focusses on the Ethernet part of the concept, where Ethernet also applies to Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Industrial-Internet-of-Things (IIoT) applications. The basic idea is to build [...]
ARM Cortex M-7 Embedded IoT Development Kit With Two CAN Bus Flexible Data Rate (CAN-FD) Ports
The MODM7AE70 embedded development kit by NetBurner features the ARM® Cortex® M7 System-on-Module (SOM). It is an IoT device containing everything required to combine industrial-quality network control, monitoring, and processing in nearly any device. The easy-to-use development suite includes everything needed to learn quickly, code, test, and deploy an industrial-strength embedded solution.Besides the ARM platform hardware, the [...]
SAE J1939 Utilizes CAN Bus Message Collision During Bus Arbitration
SAE J1939 is a higher-layer protocol (HLP) based on Controller Area Network (CAN Bus). It provides serial data communications between microprocessor systems (also called Electronic Control Units - ECU) in any heavy-duty vehicles. Everything that has to do with the CAN Bus provides reliability with the maximum possible performance in mind, not only regarding required electrical robustness [...]
Digital Signal Processor Board With One CAN Bus Interface
Renesas Electronics Corporation, a Japanese company providing leading-edge semiconductor solutions, introduced its RX23E-A MCU starter kit for analog evaluation of automation and measurement equipment. It utilizes an onboard CAN Bus driver integrated circuit.The starter kit serves developers working with the CAN-Bus-capable 32‑bit RX23E‑A MCU (micro-controller unit), featuring the analog front‑end (AFE). The package integrates hardware, software, and tools [...]
Quick Reference: Controller Area Network - CAN Bus - Versus Industrial Ethernet
At first glance, a comparison of the two networking technologies, Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) and Industrial Ethernet may appear as a battle between David and Goliath. On one side, you have the clear underdog, CAN Bus with its 1 Mbit/sec baud rate, its limited network length, and a maximum data length of 8 bytes per message. [...]
