Comma.ai is a self-driving car startup founded by George Hotz, the American hacker known for unlocking the iPhone and the PlayStation 3. Comma AI who originally wanted to build self-driving car kit, canceled their initial project due to safety concerns from NHTSA but later open-source their project and has now launched a Panda, an On-Board […]
LTM2889 – Isolated CAN FD µModule Transceiver and Power
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ltm2889-isolated-can-fd-%c2%b5module-transceiver-power/
The LTM2889 is a fully ISO 11898-2 compliant CAN (controller area network) μModule transceiver and isolator that guards against large ground-to-ground differentials and common mode transients in 3.3V or 5V applications. In practical CAN systems, ground potentials vary widely from node to node, often exceeding the tolerable range, which can result in an interruption of […]
