Meet Ollie – The Swiss Army Knife of Connectors
https://www.electronics-lab.com/meet-ollie-the-swiss-army-knife-of-connectors/
Two challenges field engineers face is the need to go around with multiple connectors and cables, and the ESD/over-voltage challenges faced when interfacing with high voltage devices. With the desire to help solve these challenges, Melbourne-based hardware designer Ali Slim, got to work and recently announced a new product called Ollie. An isolated, multifunction interface […]
Jake Wachlin Demonstrates His CAN Controlled Dual Closed- Loop Motor Controller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/jake-wachlin-demonstrates-his-can-controlled-dual-closed-loop-motor-controller/
Jake Wachlin has posted on Hackaday a CAN Controlled Dual Closed-Loop Motor Controller. CAN is an acronym for Controller Area Network. This is a robotic vehicle bus standard designed to enable microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other’s applications without a host computer. This mechanism is implemented in the CAN controlled dual closed-loop motor […]
Microchip MCP2518FD : External CAN FD Controller with SPI Interface
https://www.electronics-lab.com/microchip-mcp2518fd-external-can-fd-controller-with-spi-interface/
The MCP2518FD is a cost-effective and small-footprint External CAN FD Controller that can be easily added to a microcontroller with an available SPI interface. Therefore, a CAN FD channel can be easily added to a microcontroller that is either lacking a CAN FD peripheral or that doesn’t have enough CAN FD channels. The MCP2518FD supports […]
