Last time, we discussed how in-vehicle networks work over CAN. Now we’ll look into the protocol and how it’s used in the automotive industry. On the hardware side, there’s two types of CAN: ...

Creating a proper CAN eye-diagram measurement on a scope’s display requires much more than just triggering on rising and/or falling edges. Eye-diagram mask testing is used in a broad range of today’s ...

Electronic control units (ECUs) in modern vehicles are all linked together via various communication interfaces. The information, which each ECU needs to function correctly, is received from other ...

I'm converting a classic Mini to electric and as a way to save a few thousand bucks, I'm hoping to build a box that can adapt the Nissan Leaf parts to a "normal" system of 12v switches. Specifically ...

Why the CAN bus technology has lasted nearly 40 years. Why evolving requirements of automotive electronics are outstripping CAN’s capabilities. How automotive Ethernet was developed to support the ...

First off, let's establish the basics of how a CAN-Bus network operates. What CAN-Bus does is turn analog, switched voltage signals and sweeps into digital code. Let's take the speedometer, for ...

Industrial applications require high transmission rates, more bandwidth and ways to integrate motion control with other applications. CAN open language enables plug ...

Today's passenger vehicles can utilize about 70 onboard computers (ECUs, actuators, and so forth). So let's consider this group an extended family, and just like any family, communication means a lot.
