Tyre pressure monitoring system using Bluetooth Low Energy
https://www.electronics-lab.com/tyre-pressure-monitoring-system-bluetooth-low-energy/
Author: Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio A tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) aims to monitor air pressure on various automotive systems. The most common TPMS sensors mainly use sub-GHz radio standards to transfer information to the vehicle’s computer. There are two different types: direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS). The use of bluetooth low energy (BLE) connectivity […]
Cortex-M-based MCUs Set Pace For Automotive Design
https://www.electronics-lab.com/cortex-m-based-mcus-set-pace-automotive-design/
AUTomotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) is a worldwide automotive consortium trying to create and establish an open and standardized software architecture for automotive electronic control units (ECUs). However, as is always the case with industry consortiums and standards, they are not endorsed by all interested parties, and, to complicate matters even more, not all applications […]
