The jCOM.DUE.CORE-B board by Copperhill Technologies combines products into one:
- Dual CAN Bus Interface for Arduino Due
- Due Core – Arduino Compatible SAM3X8E 32bit ARM Cortex M3 Module
The CAN Bus board includes dual CAN transceivers as needed by the two integrated CAN ports on the Arduino Due, i.e., they convert the CAN TTL signal into a differential voltage as required by the CAN Bus Standard (ISO 11898).
The Due Core is a microcontroller board based on Arduino Due, featuring the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU.
The Due Core is a compact version of the Arduino DUE. It combines all peripherals required for the MCU, and all GPIO signals are routed to 2.54mm connectors. As a standard MCU core, the board has the following features:
- Compact size: All components fit on a 54 x 58mm 4-Layers PCB. All IOs are routed to a 116-pin 2.54 standard connector.
- Durable design: High-quality 4-layer PCB layout, two 5V to 3.3V LDO onboard, one for digital and one for analog processing. Separate AVCC and AGND, to ensure optimum analog performance.
- Easy to set up the development environment: Uploading sketches through standard 6-pin UART interface, standard Micro USB connector, full use of existing resources.
- User-friendly design: Rich LED status indication, two onboard buttons, one is used for MCU reset, and one is for Flash Erase. Unique jumper erases protection against the flash erased by mistake.
- Rich resources: All IOs are available for the user. The onboard I2C EEPROM is designed to compensate for the shortcomings of the standard SAM3X8E, which has no built-in EEPROM.
The jCOM.DUE.CORE-B board is powered either by the USB port connection (either the programming or native USB) or through an external power supply supporting an input voltage of 7 to 36 VDC.
Potential applications include:
- CAN to USB Gateway and Protocol Converter
- SAE J1939 Gateway and Protocol Converter
- CAN Data Logger
- CAN Bridge (connecting 2 CAN networks, even at different baud rates)
- CAN Analyzer (in combination with a suitable Windows program)
- SAE J1939 Data Monitoring
- CAN ECU Prototyping
- SAE J1939 ECU Prototyping
This book supports you to breathe life into the robots of your dreams―without advanced electronics or programming skills.
Arduino Robot Bonanza shows you how to build autonomous robots using ordinary tools and standard parts. Learn how to wire things up, program your robot’s brain, and add your unique flair.
This easy-to-follow, fully illustrated guide starts with the Teachbot and progresses to projects of increased complexity, including the musical TuneBot, the remote-controlled TeleBot, a slithering snakelike ‘bot, and a robotic arm with 16 inches of reach.
- Get started on the Arduino board and software
- Build a microcontroller-based brain
- Hook up high-tech sensors and controllers
- Write and debug powerful Arduino apps
- Navigate by walking, rolling, or slithering
- Program your ‘bot to react and explore on its own
- Add a remote control and wireless video
- Generate sound effects and synthesized speech
- Develop functional robot arms and grippers
- Extend plans and add exciting features
