Introduction:
AnalogToCan represents the evolution of the Analog to Digital converter, offering the ability to convert analog signals to digital or pulse and transmit them via Can-bus or Wifi using TCP connection. The device is designed to handle voltages up to 28V, making it suitable for a wide range of automotive and industrial applications. Despite its powerful capabilities, it weighs less than 50g, making it ideal for applications in the racing and industry.
Input stage:
The module has 8 programmable input ranges (0-5V or 0-12V), the device ensures 12-bit resolution for both 5V and 12V sensors. Each input benefits from dedicated supply voltage for stabilized sensor operation, effectively reducing noise.
Input accuracy is enhanced through the application of software filters to each input. These filters include IIR, FIR, and custom options, effectively reducing input noise and aliasing to a minimum.
Can-Bus:
The module features a Can-Bus line that facilitates streaming data from sensors. The Can-Bus can achieve maximum speed and has the capability to activate resistance termination on the software side, eliminating the need for wiring modifications.
The module can also serve as a Can-packet forwarder, enabling compatibility for devices that were not originally designed for the Can-bus line.
Output Stage and Control:
The presence of two PWM outputs make board suitable to became a Can-bus actuator, capable of controlling actuators like servos or electrical motor relays.
The output stage can deliver up to 2A, providing substantial power. Combined input and output capabilities, the board can function as a sophisticated controller. It allows effortless implementation of custom control algorithms or fine-tuning using our pre-implemented PID + feedforward controller.
Wifi and Update:
An outstanding feature of the board is its capability for over-the-air updates via Wifi. This ensures you stay up-to-date with the latest firmware and can conveniently modify the device's behavior through our website.
In a future software update, the ability to stream collected data from input signals or Can to a remote server will be introduced. This feature will enable real-time environmental monitoring, along with the capability to remotely send commands to alter actuator behavior.
Configurator:
The purchase of this module offers access to dedicated online STM32-DeveloperTool for optimizing module configuration. This configuration can be customized based on the user's experience and can be adjusted at any time using any internet-connected device: PC, smartphone, or tablet.
The software provides an intuitive and visual interface to easily modify software parameters. After making parameter changes, it allows for a direct update of the board through the web interface.
For example, fine-tuning a PID controller, configuring filters for analog inputs, determining PWM output usage, or deciding signal recombination can be easily accomplished using the software. An example of the intermediate-level interface is provided below.
The expert version also enables the inclusion of custom C scripts for highly personalized, high-level applications, such as Kalman filtering, sensor fusion, MPC, and other personalized options.
