CAN-BUS Shield v2
Sold outWith its long travel distance, great communication speed and high reliability, CAN-BUS is one of the most common industrial bus.
Overview
It is commonly found on modern machine tools and as an automotive diagnostic bus.
Thanks to the CAN-BUS, makers are able to hack their cars!
It adopts MCP2515 CAN-BUS controller with SPI interface and MCP2551 CAN transceiver to give you Arduino CAN-BUS capability. Default pinout is OBD-II and CAN standard pinout can be selected by switching jumpers on DB9 interface.
Moreover, it has the TF card slot for data storage and the CS pin that can be set to D4 or D5.
The INT pin can also be set to D2 or D3 by switching jumpers on the back of the shield.
CAN-BUS Shield Works perfectly with Arduino UNO (ATmega328), Arduino Mega (ATmega1280/2560) as well as Arduino Leonardo (ATmega32U4).

Using the Garmin LIDARLite v3HP, Arduino MKR WIFI 1010 and Pushsafer to detect an intruder and send a push notification to a smartphone.

Being able to monitor the weather in real-time is great for education, research, or simply to analyze how the local climate changes over time. This project by Hackster.io user Pradeep explores how he was able to design a simple station outdoors that could communicate with a cloud-based platform for aggregating the sensed data. The board Pradeep selected is the Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 owing to its low-power SAM D21 microcontroller and Wi-Fi/BLE connectivity for easy, wireless communication. After configured, he connected a DFRobot Lark Weather Station, which contains sensors for measuring wind speed/direction, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure — all in a compact device. Every second, the MKR WiFi 1010’s sketch polls the sensors for new data over I2C before printing it to USB. The cloud integration aspect was achieved by leveraging Qubitro’s platform to collect and store the data for later visualization and analysis. To set it up, Pradeep created a new device connection and copied the resulting MQTT endpoint/token into his sketch. Then once new data became ready, it got serialized into a JSON payload and sent to the topic where a variety of widgets could then show dials and charts of each weather-related metric.
