US citizen Leo, who has clashed with Donald Trump over several issues, submits his vote by post in Chicago

Pope Leo has voted in the US midterm elections – the first time a sitting pontiff is known to have cast a ballot in any political election at any time in history.

Leo, who has clashed with the US president, Donald Trump, over several issues, submitted his vote by post in Chicago, where he was born, the Vatican said on Friday. Leo became the first American leader of the Catholic church last year after the death of Pope Francis.

В каждом автомобильном микроконтроллере есть CAN шина. Образно выражаясь CAN — это труба для чисел, CAN — это нервная система автомобиля. Именно по САN передаются сигналы от датчиков и команды к исполнительным механизмам агрегатов.

CAN — это двухпроводный, дифференциальный, последовательный, полудуплексный интерфейс для передачи бинарных данных между электронными платами (PCB). В качестве кабеля чаще всего применяют одну экранированную витую пару проводов с именами: CAN_L и CAN_H.

CAN определяет два уровня модели OSI-7 (стек сетевых протоколов): физический и канальный. То есть CAN определяет также и бинарную структуру пакета в кабеле. В пакете CAN фигурируют такие переменные, как ID пакета, 8 байт данных, длина пакета, 15 битная контрольная сумма, биты подтверждения ACK, начало и конец пакета.

В данном тексте представлен перевод даташита с английского на русский того фрагмента, который посвящен CAN модулю. Также даны некоторые поясняющие комментарии.

Цель данного текста — включить CAN трансивер на микроконтроллере FC7300F8MD. Научиться отправлять и принимать CAN‑classic пакеты.

A new documentary follows the Chicagoan from child trumpet prodigy to Gabriel-singing icon and DIY maverick. ‘Not everybody wants to see musical genius’, he says

At We Out Here festival in Dorset in August, thousands of people could be heard singing a trumpet melody as if it was a giant brass-band karaoke session. On stage was Peven Everett, performing a rendition of Gabriel, one of the most celebrated anthems in dance-music history. Co-created with producer Roy Davis Jr, the best-known version, which blew up in UK clubs in the mid-90s, is a spiritual garage-house track about the “archangel of love” that can bring both punters and DJs to tears.

But Everett is much more than one song. Damon Albarn of Gorillaz tells me that “Peven has a once-in-a-generation voice … he’s a great inspiration to us all.” We Out Here founder, Gilles Peterson says that the Chicagoan is, alongside Detroit’s Moodymann and Amp Fiddler, “the closest thing dance music has to a Prince-type figure”. A prolific multi-instrumentalist and one-man cottage industry, Everett’s catalogue spans more than 500 tracks, across house, neo-soul, hip-hop, samba and more.
