September 2010 Publication Date: August 19 (UK), August 12 (USA). Status: closed for copy | Electronics Design and Simulation Software | Nowadays electronics engineers and enthusiasts tend to use a mouse more often than a soldering iron. CAD programs and simulators make it easy to design, test and modify circuits without actually assembling a circuit board. Design and simulation tools also give developers a significant advantage in the programming of devices such as microcontrollers and FPGAs. In this issue we devote our attention to prominent and less prominent software tools, with particular emphasis on open-source tools. | |
October 2010 Publication Date: September 23 (UK), September 10 (USA). Status: Closed for copy | Networks | Everywhere you look, from road traffic to home automation, you see a networked future. Although the Internet is the best known, largest and most versatile network, the mobile telephone network is also suitable for remote control and data retrieval. And now that special ICs and modules are available for ZigBee and other network protocols, it’s especially easy to put together your own wireless network. | |
November 2010 Publication Date: October 21 (UK), October 14 (USA). Status: Partly open for copy | Sensors | There’s almost no end to the topic of sensor technology. Numerous products are now available for virtually every measurable quantity, and they often differ in terms of accuracy, robustness, and operating principle. The tasks of driving, calibrating and evaluating these widely diverse sensors pose problems for many designers. We lend a helping hand to beginners, while at the same time offering something new for experienced users. | |
December 2010 Publication Date: November 18 (UK), November 11 (USA). Status: Partly open for copy | LEDs | LED technology, design constraints and resources and the struggle to achieve warm light. | |
