Connecting the jCOM.j1939.USB Board Hardware
The jCOM.J1939.USB gateway board is a high-performance, low-latency vehicle network adapter for SAE J1939 applications. It allows any host device with a USB COM port to monitor SAE J1939 data traffic and communicate with a SAE J1939 vehicle network. The hardware installation involves two, fairly ease-to-accomplish steps: Establish the USB connection Connect to the CAN / SAE J1939 [...]
SAE J1939 ECU Simulator And Data Monitor for Raspberry Pi
The jCOM.J1939.USB gateway board is a high-performance, low-latency vehicle network adapter for SAE J1939 applications. It allows any host device with a USB COM port to monitor SAE J1939 data traffic and communicate with a SAE J1939 vehicle network. The board supports the full SAE J1939 protocol according to J1939/81 Network Management (Address Claiming) and J1939/21 Transport [...]
Mapping the SAE J1939 Data Link Layer to CAN FD
About SAE J1939 The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standard SAE J1939 is the vehicle bus recommended practice used for communication and diagnostics among vehicle components. Originating in the car and heavy-duty truck industry in the United States, it is now widely used in other parts of the world. SAE J1939 is used in the commercial vehicle area for [...]
Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) Development And Prototyping with Raspberry Pi
The prototyping of Controller Area Network (CAN) applications used to be a tedious and expensive task, but the recent years have seen the emergence of low-cost, yet easy-to-use embedded development platforms such as the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard [...]
CAN (Controller Area Network) Gateway Design Considerations
While designing the jCOM series of CAN / SAE J1939 to USB gateways, we have thrived to accomplish maximum performance at the lowest possible price. While this statement may appear contradictive, we believe that we have created the perfect compromise (See also my post Turbo CAN Bus, SAE J1939 Board For Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Arduino, and Android Systems). So, what [...]
Expansion Cape for BeagleBone Features Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) And RS485 Interface
The BeagleBoard is a low-power open-source hardware single-board computer produced by Texas Instruments in association with Digi-Key and Newark element14. The BeagleBoard was also designed with open source software development in mind, and as a way of demonstrating the Texas Instrument's OMAP3530 system-on-a-chip. The board was developed by a small team of engineers as an [...]
Turbo CAN Bus, SAE J1939 Board For Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Arduino, and Android Systems
As part of our embedded hardware and software development for CAN (Controller Area Network) based vehicle protocols, the first prototype of the jCOM.CAN.USB, a CAN/J1939 to USB/UART gateway board for embedded solutions, has passed the performance and quality tests successfully, and we are now ready to start production. The main focus of this board is the [...]
