Elektor Publishing Basic Electronics for Beginners
Analogue Electronics and Microcontrollers ProjectsHobbyist electronics can be a fun way to learn new skills that can be helpful to your career. Those who understand the basics of electronics can design their own circuits and projects. However, before you run, you need to learn to walk.It all starts with analogue electronics. You should be familiar with the simple components and circuits and understand their basic behaviors and the issues you may encounter. The best way to do this is through real experiments. Theory alone is not enough. This book offers a large number of practical entry-level circuits, with which everyone can gain the basic experience.Through the widespread introduction of microcontrollers, a new chapter in electronics has begun. Microcontrollers are now performing more and more tasks that were originally solved using discrete components and conventional ICs. Starting out has become easier and easier thanks to platforms including Bascom, Arduino, micro:bit. The book introduces numerous manageable microcontroller applications. It’s now a case of less soldering and more programming.

FreeCAD for Electronics Applications
Practical Introduction to 3D Modeling from Enclosure to Front PanelEmbedding a vintage component, creating a professional looking home for a circuit board, or even designing a complex apparatus complete with a chassis – these and many other challenges turn into a stimulating pleasure with FreeCAD. Once you have internalized the basic processes, there are virtually no limits to your imagination.Starting to use a new software is never straightforward – especially with a tool as versatile as FreeCAD. Manageable, but at the same time easily usable individual components provide the starting point in this book. Putting these components together later results in assemblies.In the FreeCAD universe, a workable trajectory is demonstrated. The described procedure is illustrative so the examples are easily applied to custom tasks. The devices were made by the author and illustrated with photos.Creating a 3D design is requiring some effort but the initial investment pays off soon. Besides the impressive spatial representation of the projects, the extracted drawings yield a solid base for documentation and production. Extended FreeCAD capabilities like the unfolding of sheet metal parts enormously add to efficiency and pushes models forward into practical assembly.Soon you will definitely not want to do without FreeCAD!

Elektor Digital Home Automation and Electronics for Starters (E-book)
Projects with Arduino, ESPHome, Home Assistant, and Raspberry Pi & Co. We start by learning about electrical engineering by looking at the basics of voltage and current and the types of resistors, diodes and transistors. In the second chapter, we get to know the most famous microcontroller, the Arduino Uno. We will analyze its structure, learn how to code and carry out illustrative examples. In chapter three, we set up Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi. We look at scenes, automations and the general handling of HA. We then look at the MQTT protocol, which is the gold standard in home electronics communication, so to speak, but other interfaces such as I²C, SPI and UART are also explained in detail in this chapter. In the following chapter we will take a look at the ESP8266, the more modern ESP32 and of course the ESP32-CAM. First some theory, followed by practical examples. Indoor climate sensors for temperature and humidity, motion sensors, RFID readers and many more sensors are explained in detail in chapter 7, followed by practical examples. Chapter 8 deals with actuators such as the 7-segment display, servo motors, displays, stepper motors and much more. You can use ESPHome to integrate sensors and actuators into Home Assistant without any programming effort. In this chapter, you will be guided step by step through how to integrate your own sensors. Do you want to bring more colorful light into your living space? Then the chapter on LEDs is just right for you. The different types of LED lights are explained here and, of course, the basics of lighting technology are not forgotten. There are a lot of ICs in electronics that make our lives easier; in this chapter we get to know a few ICs and the basic knowledge is immediately put into practice. All code examples do not have to be typed out, you can download them for free from GitHub and modify them. The respective link (with QR code) can be found in the code example.
