An Introduction to Real and Reduced-Scale Autonomous Vehicles Want to cut through the hype and get to the core of autonomous and connected vehicles? Then this book is your clear, accessible guide to a complex and fast-moving field. Starting with Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), it walks you through the essential foundations, including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) – the stepping stones to full autonomy. Explore how self-driving cars mimic human behavior through a loop of perception, analysis, decision, and action. Discover the key functions that make it possible: localization, obstacle detection, driver monitoring, cooperative awareness – and the most challenging of all, trajectory planning, across strategic, tactical, and operational levels. Will vehicles be connected? The debate is on – but the standards are already here. Learn how connectivity, infrastructure, and vehicles can work in synergy through the innovative concept of floating car data (FCD). Dive into real-world implementation: with embedded electronics account-ing for over 30% of a modern vehicle‘s cost, we unpack the architecture, coordination, and tools required to manage the complexity – brought to life with a hands-on case study. To finish, we open the door to the future: building your own 1:10 scale autonomous vehicle. No plug-and-play solutions – just the foundations for a collaborative, creative, and geek-friendly challenge. Let’s drive the future together.

32 new Projects, Practical Examples and Exercises with the Elektor Arduino Nano MCCAB Training Board Electronics and microcontroller technology offer the opportunity to be creative. This practical microcontroller course provides you with the chance to bring your own Arduino projects and experience such moments of success. Ideally, everything works as you imagined when you switch it on for the first time. In practice, however, things rarely work as expected. At that point, you need knowledge to efficiently search for and find the reason for the malfunction. In this book for advanced users, we delve deep into the world of microcontrollers and the Arduino IDE to learn new procedures and details, enabling you to successfully tackle and solve even more challenging situations. With this book, the author gives the reader the necessary tools to create projects independently and also to be able to find errors quickly. Instead of just offering ready-made solutions, he explains the background, the hardware used, and any tools required. He sets tasks in which the reader contributes their own creativity and writes the Arduino sketch themselves. If you don’t have a good idea and get stuck, there is, of course, a suggested solution for every project and every task, along with the corresponding software, which is commented on and explained in detail in the book. This practical course will teach you more about the inner workings of the Arduino Nano and its microcontroller. You will get to know hardware modules that you can use to realize new and interesting projects. You will familiarize yourself with software methods such as ‘state machines,’ which can often be used to solve problems more easily and clearly. The numerous practical projects and exercise sketches are once again realized on the Arduino Nano MCCAB Training Board, which you may already be familiar with from the course book ‘Microcontrollers Hands-on Course for Arduino Starters’, and which contains all the hardware peripherals and operating elements we need for the input/output operations of our sketches. Readers who do not yet own the Arduino Nano MCCAB Training Board can purchase the required hardware separately, or alternatively, build it on a breadboard.

Make your project dreams come true: an odometer for the hamster wheel, a fully automatic control of your ant farm with web interface, or the Sandwich-O-Mat – a machine that toasts and grills sandwiches of your choice. With the Arduino and the DIY or Maker movement, not only did entry into microcontroller programming become child's play, but a second development also took place: Resourceful developers brought small boards – so-called shields or modules – to the market, which greatly simplified the use of additional hardware. The small modules contain all the important electronic parts to be connected to the microcontroller with a few plug-in cables, eliminating the need for a fiddly and time-consuming assembly on the plug-in board. In addition, it is also possible to handle tiny components that do not have any connecting legs (so-called SMDs).

Tout sur les protocoles et leur mise en œuvre avec Arduino Initialement destiné aux véhicules routiers, le réseau CAN (« Controller Area Network ») et son successeur le réseau CAN FD (« Flexible Data ») ont vu leurs champs d’application s’élargir à de nouveaux domaines. L’industrie propose de nombreux modules microcontrôleurs dotés d’une interface CAN et/ou CAN FD. L’environnement de développement Arduino a démocratisé la programmation de ces modules et il existe des bibliothèques qui implémentent un pilote CAN et/ou un pilote CAN FD. La première partie dresse un rapide historique des réseaux CAN et CAN FD et expose la problématique des lignes de transmission en abordant succinctement leur théorie et présentant des résultats de simulation Spice. La deuxième partie est consacrée au réseau CAN, en détaillant successivement la fonction logique du réseau, les transcepteurs, les contrôleurs, la topologie la plus classique (le bus) et d’autres moins courantes, les répéteurs et les passerelles. Les aspects particuliers du protocole, tels que le bit stuffing, l’arbitrage, les trames d’erreur, la détection des erreurs sont exposés. La discussion de la fiabilité du protocole est illustrée par des exemples mettant en évidence ses faiblesses. La troisième partie présente le protocole CAN FD, ses deux variantes CAN FD ISO et CAN FD non ISO, leurs fiabilités, leurs faiblesses, mises en évidence par des exemples. Différents transcepteurs et contrôleurs CAN FD sont décrits. La quatrième partie est dédiée aux applications : comment utiliser les services d’un pilote, concevoir une messagerie, utiliser un analyseur logique. Deux exemples d’application terminent cette partie. Ce livre s’adresse aux amateurs et aux ingénieurs non spécialistes pour comprendre les possibilités qu’offre un réseau CAN et comment on le met en œuvre. Un enseignant trouvera des informations pour approfondir ses connaissances et pour concevoir des travaux pratiques. Une connaissance des microcontrôleurs, de leur programmation, de l’électronique numérique aidera à la lecture des schémas. La connaissance du langage C++ et du langage de simulation électronique Spice facilitera la compréhension des programmes qui sont décrits dans le livre. Tous les codes source sont disponibles sur le dépôt GitHub de l’auteur. Téléchargements GitHub
