    Out of stock

    The Analog Thing V1.2 (in short THAT) is a high-quality, low-cost, open-source, and not-for-profit cutting-edge analog computer designed for desktop use to solve (sets of) differential equations. With its patch panel instead of keyboard, mouse, and monitor, its user interface differs noticeably from those of its digital stored-program cousins. The patch panel is divided into groups of analog computing elements such as integrators, summers, and multipliers. THAT allows modeling dynamic systems with great speed, parallelism, and energy efficiency. Its use is intuitively interactive, experimental, and visual. It bridges the gap between hands-on practice and mathematical theory, integrating naturally with design and engineering practices such as speculative trial-and-error exploration and the use of scale models. Dynamic system modeling on THAT can serve a variety of valuable purposes. It may help understand what is (models of), or it may help bring about what should be (models for). It may be used to explain in educational settings, to imitate in gaming, to predict in the natural sciences, to control in engineering, or it may be pursued for the pure joy of it! THAT can be used with various kinds of oscilloscopes, such as conventional cathode ray tube oscilloscopes, digital oscilloscopes, and USB oscilloscopes in conjunction with PCs. Features 5 Integrators – Circuits that perform integration over time. 4 Summers – Circuits that add inputs continously. 2 Comparators – Circuits that compare inputs to support conditional functions. Master/Minion Ports – Interfaces that allow daisy-chaining multiple THATs to create arbitrarily large programs. 8 Coefficient Potentiometers – Rotary knobs to provide user-defined inputs. 2 Multipliers – Circuits that multiply inputs continously.

  • Advanced Control Robotics (E - book) - Elektor

    Elektor Digital Advanced Control Robotics (E-book)

    If you enjoy DIY electronics, projects, software and robots, you’ll find this book intellectually stimulating and immediately useful. With the right parts and a little guidance, you can build robot systems that suit your needs more than overpriced commercial systems can. 20 years ago, robots based on simple 8-bit processors and touch sensors were the norm. Now, it’s possible to build multi-core robots that can react to their surroundings with intelligence. Today’s robots combine sensor readings from accelerometers, gyroscopes and computer vision sensors to learn about their environments. They can respond using sophisticated control algorithms and they can process data both locally and in the cloud. This book, which covers the theory and best practices associated with advanced robot technologies, was written to help roboticists, whether amateur hobbyist or professional, take their designs to the next level. As will be seen, building advanced applications does not require extremely costly robot technology. All that is needed is simply the knowledge of which technologies are out there and how best to use each of them. Each chapter in this book will introduce one of these different technologies and discuss how best to use it in a robotics application. On the hardware side, we’ll cover microcontrollers, servos, and sensors, hopefully inspiring you to design your own awe-inspiring, next-generation systems. On the software side, we’ll cover programming languages, debugging, algorithms, and state machines. We’ll focus on the Arduino, the Parallax Propeller, Revolution Education PICAXE and projects I’ve with which I’ve been involved, including the TBot educational robot, the PropScope oscilloscope, the 12Blocks visual programming language, and the ViewPort development environment. In addition, we’ll serve up a comprehensive introduction to a variety of essential topics, including output (e.g. LEDs, servo motors), and communication technologies (e.g. infrared, audio), that you can use to develop systems that interact to stimuli and communicate with humans and other robots. To make these topics as accessible as possible, handy schematics, sample code and practical tips regarding building and debugging have been included. Hanno Sander Christchurch, New Zealand

  •  -80% Guiding Light - Elektor

    Gight Guiding Light

    This smart plinth lighting automatically switches on and off when you get up at night. The motion sensor sees you get out of bed and the light turns on! There is an illuminated path from bed to toilet. Obstacles on the way to the toilet are immediately visible and tripping hazards are prevented. Scientific research shows that the fear of falling is significantly reduced when using a Guide Light. The LED lighting has a perfect light intensity. The light is subtle enough not to wake you up, but bright enough for a reliable orientation. The Guiding Light is much more than just a night light.

  • SparkFun RFID Qwiic Reader - Elektor

    SparkFun SparkFun RFID Qwiic Reader

    Plug a reader into the headers, use a Qwiic cable, scan your 125kHz ID tag, and the unique 32-bit ID will be shown on the screen. The unit comes with a read LED and buzzer, but don't worry, there is a jumper you can cut to disable the buzzer if you want. Utilizing SparkFun's handy Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still have broken out 0.1"-spaced pins if you prefer to use a breadboard. Utilizing the onboard ATtiny84A, the Qwiic RFID takes the six byte ID tag of your 125kHz RFID card, attaches a timestamp to it, and puts it onto a stack that holds up to 20 unique RFID scans at a time. This information is easy to get at with some simple I²C commands.
