The Mendocino Motor AR O-8 is a magnetically levitated, solar powered electric motor as a kit. Light Becomes Movement The solar-powered Mendocino motor seems to float in the air. At first glance, you can't see why the rotor is turning at all. This is the magic of the motor. The Lorentz force is a very small electrical force. In a classroom setting, it is detected by a current swing in the magnetic field. With the Mendocino motor, we have succeeded in developing a beautiful application that uses this weak force for propulsion. Due to its concealed base magnet, the motor will fascinate technically inclined observers. In bright sunlight, the motor can reach a speed of up to 1,000 rpm. More impressive, however, is that even the faint glow of an ample tea light (D = 6 cm with a flame height of about 2 cm) is sufficient to drive the motor. The motor is not yet an alternative source of energy, even though it looks tempting. Presumably, it will remain an attractive model until a resourceful mind disproves this assumption. Dimensions All solar cells 65 x 20 mm Mirror diameter: 25 mm Rotor weight: approx. 150 g Model length: 160 mm Model width: 85 mm Frame height: approx. 85 mm Frame material: black acrylic Tube made of highly polished aluminum Mirror color: silver The Mendocino motor’s easy-to-follow instruction manual includes more than 70 illustrations. It describes a safe and practical approach to construction but also gives you the freedom to try your solutions. Partly Pre-Assembled Kit A portion of the kit comes pre-assembled. Bonding the borosilicate glass pane to the acrylic surface requires specialized knowledge and aids. We do not want to impose this on the hobbyist. For instance, the base magnet is attached to the aluminum tube. As a hobbyist, you will need some know-how and appropriate tools: carpet knife, soldering iron and tin, hot glue, pliers, and a clamp or ferrule to fix the supplied assembly aid. A lot of fun is guaranteed!

Microcontrollers have become an indispensable part of modern electronics. They make things possible that vastly exceed what could be done previously. Innumerable applications show that almost nothing is impossible. There’s thus every reason to learn more about them, but that raises the question of where to find a good introduction to this fascinating technology. The answer is easy: this Microcontroller Basics book, combined with the 89S8252 Flash Board project published by Elektor Electronics. However, this book offers more than just a basic introduction. It clearly explains the technology using various microcontroller circuits and programs written in several different programming languages. Three microcontrollers from the 8051 family are used in the sample applications, ranging from the simple 89C2051 to the AN2131, which is designed to support USB applications. The programming tools include assemblers, Basic-52 and BASCOM-51, and several C compilers. Every reader can thus find the programming environment most suitable to his or her needs. In the course of the book, the reader gradually develops increased competence in converting his or her ideas into microcontroller circuitry. All of the sample programs can be downloaded from the Elektor Electronics website or the author’s website. That has the added advantage that the latest versions are always available.

In this book the author presents all essential aspects of microcontroller programming, without overloading the reader with unnecessary or quasi-relevant bits of information. Having read the book, you should be able to understand as well as program, 8-bit microcontrollers.The introduction to microcontroller programming is worked out using microcontrollers from the PIC series. Not exactly state-of-the-art with just 8 bits, the PIC micro has the advantage of being easy to comprehend. It is offered in a DIP enclosure, widely available and not overly complex. The entire datasheet of the PIC micro is shorter by decades than the description of the architecture outlining the processor section of an advanced microcontroller. Simplicity has its advantages here. Having mastered the fundamental operation of a microcontroller, you can easily enter into the realms of advanced softcores later.Having placed assembly code as the executive programming language in the foreground in the first part of the book, the author reaches a deeper level with ‘C’ in the second part. Cheerfully alongside the official subject matter, the book presents tips & tricks, interesting measurement technology, practical aspects of microcontroller programming, as well as hands-on options for easier working, debugging and faultfinding.
