Mit dem Elektor Arduino Nano Trainingsboard (MCCAB) eigene Projekte realisieren
Der Mikrocontroller ist das wohl faszinierendste Teilgebiet der Elektronik, denn aufgrund der Vielzahl von Funktionen, die er auf seinem Chip vereinigt, ist er für den Entwickler ein universelles Multi-Tool zur Realisierung seiner Projekte. Praktisch jedes Gerät des täglichen Gebrauchs wird heute von einem Mikrocontroller gesteuert. Für einen elektronischen Laien blieb es aufgrund der Komplexität bisher allerdings ein Wunschtraum, eigene Ideen mit einem Mikrocontroller zu realisieren. Das Arduino-Konzept hat den Einsatz von Mikrocontrollern weitgehend vereinfacht, sodass jetzt auch Laien eigene Elektronik-Ideen mit einem Mikrocontroller verwirklichen können.
Buch & Hardware im Bundle: 'Learning by Doing'
Dieses im Bundle mitgelieferte Buch (im großen A4-Format) zeigt, wie man auch ohne große Erfahrung in Elektronik und Programmiersprachen eigene Projekte mit einem Mikrocontroller realisieren kann. Es ist ein Mikrocontroller-Praxiskurs für Einsteiger, denn nach einem Überblick über die Interna des Mikrocontrollers und einer Einführung in die Programmiersprache C liegt der Schwerpunkt des Kurses auf den praktischen Übungen. Der Leser eignet sich die erforderlichen Kenntnisse durch 'Learning by Doing' an: in dem umfangreichen Praxisteil mit 12 Projekten und 46 Übungen wird das im vorderen Teil des Buches Gelernte mit vielen Beispielen unterlegt. Die Übungen sind dabei so aufgebaut, dass der Bearbeiter eine Aufgabenstellung erhält, die er mit seinem im Theorieteil des Buches aufgebauten Wissen löst. Für jede Übung gibt es anschließend eine ausführlich erklärte und kommentierte Musterlösung, die dem Bearbeiter bei Problemen weiterhilft und die er mit seiner eigenen Lösung vergleichen kann.
Arduino IDE
In der Arduino IDE, einer Software-Entwicklungsumgebung, die kostenlos auf den eigenen PC heruntergeladen werden kann und die das gesamte Softwarepaket enthält, das für ein eigenes Mikrocontroller-Projekt benötigt wird, schreibt der Bearbeiter mit dem Editor der IDE seine Programme („Apps“) in der Programmiersprache C. Der in die Arduino IDE integrierte Compiler übersetzt sie in die Bits und Bytes, die der Mikrocontroller versteht und die dann über ein USB-Kabel in den Speicher des Mikrocontrollers auf dem Elektor Arduino Nano Trainingsboard (MCCAB) geladen werden.
Externe Sensoren, Motoren oder Baugruppen abfragen oder steuern
Das Elektor Arduino Nano Trainingsboard (MCCAB) enthält neben einem Mikrocontrollermodul Arduino Nano alle für die Übungen benötigten Bauteile wie Leuchtdioden, Schalter, Taster, akustische Signalgeber usw. Auch externe Sensoren, Motoren oder Baugruppen können mit diesem Mikrocontroller-Übungssystem abgefragt oder gesteuert werden.

Realize your own projects with the Elektor Arduino Nano MCCAB Training Board
The microcontroller is probably the most fascinating subfield of electronics. Due to the multitude of functions, it combines on its chip, it is a universal multi-tool for developers to realize their projects. Practically every device of daily use today is controlled by a microcontroller. However, for an electronic layman, realizing his own ideas with a microcontroller has so far remained a pipe dream due to its complexity. The Arduino concept has largely simplified the use of microcontrollers, so that now even laymen can realize their own electronics ideas with a microcontroller.

Learning Embedded Systems with STM32 Nucleo Boards
Embedded programming has become more accessible than ever before. Development boards are inexpensive, software tools are easy to install, and the Arduino IDE provides a familiar environment for creating embedded applications. Combined with the STM32 Nucleo family of development boards, it offers an excellent platform for learning how modern microcontrollers interact with the physical world.
This book introduces embedded programming using the Arduino environment on STM32 Nucleo boards. You will learn how a microcontroller continuously reads inputs, processes information, and controls outputs in a predictable real-time loop. Through practical examples, you will discover how to control LEDs, read switches and sensors, generate PWM signals, drive motors, and exchange data with other devices, all while becoming familiar with the capabilities of STM32 microcontrollers.
Although the STM32 family includes devices with different performance levels, memory sizes, and peripheral sets, they all share the same architectural concepts. Digital and analog I/O, timers, interrupts, PWM, communication interfaces, and low-power operation are fundamental features found throughout the STM32 ecosystem. Understanding these building blocks will enable you to work confidently with a wide range of STM32 devices, from entry-level microcontrollers to more advanced applications.
By focusing on practical programming techniques rather than hardware complexity, this book develops skills that remain useful well beyond the examples presented. Whether you are taking your first steps in embedded systems or expanding your experience with STM32 microcontrollers, you will gain a solid understanding of both the Arduino development environment and the principles that underpin embedded software design.
The Arduino Uno is an open-source microcontroller development system encompassing hardware, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), and a vast number of libraries.
