Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Projects with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, And Smartphones
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a wireless personal area network technology designed and marketed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth SIG) aimed at novel applications in the healthcare, fitness, beacons, security, and home entertainment industries. Compared to Classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy is intended to provide considerably reduced power consumption and cost while maintaining a [...]
Motor Control With Arduino Mega 2560, Raspberry Pi, Or BeagleBone Black
Makers can do amazing things with motors. Yes, they may be more complicated than some other circuit elements, but with this book, you can completely master them. Once you do, many incredible new projects become possible. First, the author Matthew Scarpino explains how electric motors work and what you need to know about each major type, [...]
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 [...]
Use Your Raspberry Pi To Learn Embedded Computing Fundamentals
In the 1980s, the tech revolution was kickstarted by a flood of relatively inexpensive, highly programmable computers like the Commodore. Now, a second revolution in computing is beginning with the Raspberry Pi. Learning Computer Architecture with the Raspberry Pi is the premier guide to understanding the components of the most exciting tech product available. Thanks to this [...]
CANopen Module For Raspberry Pi And Other Embedded Systems
Emsa (formerly Embedded Systems Academy) announced their new product, the CANgine-Berry, an active CAN co-processor module that uses a regular UART communication channel towards the host system. With its independent 32-bit micro-controller, the product can execute CAN protocols with tough timing demands such as CANcrypt or CANopen with response times of under 10 ms. Depending on the [...]
New Development - Intelligent Power Supply - including UPS - for Raspberry Pi
It is important to re-iterate that the Raspberry Pi was originally developed as a low-cost computer system for children. However, the small size plus small price combined with a great performance made the RPi a great solution for all kinds of applications, may it be for home projects or even for industrial and automotive prototyping [...]
