Are 24/12 V automotive ECUs 3.3 V under the hood?
It’s impossible to make a blanket statement about what voltages the MCU will actually use - you need to consult the MCU datasheet.
That said, 5V and/or 3.3V are common for logic I/O voltages, it's ...

Non-inverting driver for LED
You can directly drive a 2N7000 gate from a 5V MCU pin at a reasonable PWM frequency such as a few kHz. So GPIO pin high = 'on'.
Worst case MOSFET Rds(on) with 4.5V drive is 5.3Ω @25°C. Probably 50% ...

Lithium-ion battery pack in series or parallel
Lithium-ion battery pack in series or parallel
Definitely in series. Connecting Li-ion modules or batteries in parallel brings an inordinate amount of headaches.
Approach 1 vs. Approach 2
Certainly ...

CAN Bus Dominant and Recessive?
It has to do with arbitration of the bus. Each node on the network must observe the bus at all times, even when transmitting. If a node is transmitting a recessive bit and it detects a dominant bit, ...
