It’s that time of the year again – football season. We’re talking about American Football and Football as known by the rest of the world (aka Soccer), some of the most watched sports games in the world, with hundreds of thousands of fans coming together each year to cheer on their team for the win.

I am starting to use Promira Serial Platform with the Promira Software API I2C/SPI Active. The spi_eeprom command does not specify what data should be written - I need to send 0x1000 to register 0x50. There is a queue variable in the code that I believe needs to be filled. How do I access the queue?

When most people think about artificial intelligence, they think of the smart robotic assistants we see portrayed in science fiction films - the kind that can bring you a drink, carry a conversation, or remind you to leave the house with an umbrella.

I could use some pointers on getting started with the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter. I’m implementing an I2C communication between two PCs, each PC connected to an Aardvark adapter.  The goal is to define and implement the communication protocol, and verify it with the Aardvark IC2/SPI Host Adapter. Here’s an overview of my plan:

Embedded systems engineers use a variety of skills and tools to build and program products that contain embedded computing systems. Along with coding software, software debugging programs, and simulators, most embedded systems engineers make use of a protocol analyzer, a specialized diagnostic tool that can be used to monitor bus traffic across a communication channel. Protocol analyzers are available for many different specialized applications and at several price points - they are a valuable tool for embedded engineers whose work requires them to understand the movement of data on the embedded systems that they design and build.

We just spent a week in Detroit and as you'd expect, the trip had an automotive focus. I started this trip off by coming in a day early to spend a little time getting to know the area and learn a little more about the history of the industry.  What better place to start than with the Ford Museum, located on Piquette Avenue at the site  of the original the original Ford manufacturing facility.

I am using the Komodo CAN Solo Interface with Komodo GUI Software to run a CAN module from a Linux host system. I am sending data through the General CAN Mode. My concern is when reviewing the data log 3 out of 8 bytes of data at the receiving end are masked.

I recently purchased the Promira Serial Platform to replace the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter. I am trying to “hand over” the Aardvark Software API code to the Promira Software API I2C/SPI Active code.

I understand the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter comes with the option of using either an external power supply or the Cheetah adapter (with power from the USB bus I assume) to drive the SPI output.
