In dit boek worden een serie spannende en leuke projecten voor de Arduino behandeld, zoals een stil alarm, mensensensor, lichtmeter, besturing van een motor, internet en draadloze bediening (via een radioverbinding). In tegenstelling tot veel gratis projecten op internet zijn de projecten in dit boek in de praktijk getest, en werken gegarandeerd! U kunt dit boek gebruiken als projectenboek, en de 45 projecten nabouwen en in de praktijk inzetten. Door de duidelijke uitleg, schema's en zelfs foto's van de opstelling op is het nabouwen een erg leuke bezigheid. De foto's zijn gemaakt van een werkende opstelling, dus u weet zeker dat ze kloppen. U kunt de projecten in dit boek ook met elkaar combineren om zo uw eigen projecten te maken. Per project wordt duidelijk uitgelegd waarom het project op die manier is uitgevoerd. Al doende leert u veel over het project en de gebruikte onderdelen, en kunt u het project zelf aanpassen en uitbreiden naar uw eigen wensen. Daarnaast is het boek ook als naslagwerk inzetbaar. Via de index vindt u gemakkelijk projecten die als voorbeeld voor het gebruik van C++ opdrachten en Arduino-functionaliteit kunnen dienen. Zelfs als u alle projecten gemaakt hebt zal dit boek om die reden nog lang een plekje naast uw PC behouden.

Atmel AVR ist eine 8-bit-Mikrocontroller-Familie des Herstellers Atmel. Diese Controller sind wegen ihres einfachen Aufbaus, ihrer leichten Programmierbarkeit, den kostenlosen Entwicklungswerkzeugen und der Verfügbarkeit in DIP-Gehäuseformen auch bei Elektronikern und Makern äußerst beliebt. Darüber hinaus sind diese Controller bereits ab zwei Euro erhältlich. Im Arduino Uno-Board wird der ATmega328 verwendet. AVR-Programmierung für Quereinsteiger besteht aus zwei Teilen. Im ersten Teil wird in einfachen Worten erklärt, wie eine MCU (= Micro Controller Unit) im Detail arbeitet. Dem folgt eine Einführung in die Programmiersprache C. Anschließend taucht der Leser im zweiten Teil des Buches in die Welt der Register und ihre Bits ein. Dort findet man auch ein umfangreiches Glossar aller Register- und Bit-Namen. Das Buch dient somit auch als Nachschlagewerk, wenn man sich durch das Datenblatt oder andere Texte arbeiten muss. Das Buch wendet sich an alle, die bisher mit dem Arduino programmiert haben und nun nach technischen Möglichkeiten und Wegen suchen, ihre Elektronik- und Programmierkenntnisse zu erweitern. Dazu eignet sich die AVR-Programmierung im besonderen Maße.

Valve Amplifiers are regarded by many to be the ne plus ultra when it comes to processing audio signals. The combination of classical technology and modern components has resulted in a revival of the valve amplifier. The use of toraidal-core output transformers, developed by the author over the past 15 years, has contributed to this revival. The most remarkable features of these transformers are their extremely wide frequency ranges and their very low levels of linear and nonlinear distortion. This book explains the whys and wherefores of toroidal output transformers at various technical levels, starting with elementary concepts and culminating in complete mathematical descriptions. In all of this, the interactions of the output valves, transformer and loudspeaker form the central theme. Next come the practical aspects. The schematic diagram of a valve amplifier often appears to be very simple at first glance, but anyone who has built a modern valve amplifier knows that a lot of critical details are hidden behind this apparent simplicity. These are discussed extensively, in connection with designs for amplifiers with output powers ranging from 10 to 100 watts. Finally, the author gives some attention to a number of special valve amplifiers, and to the theory and practice of negative feedback. In summary, this book offers innovative solutions for achieving perfect audio quality. Do-it-yourself builders, as well as persons who want to gain a deeper technical understanding of the complex world of audio transformers, valve amplifiers and audio signal processing, will find this book a rich and useful source of information.

Learn programming for Alexa devices, extend it to smart home devices and control the Raspberry Pi The book is split into two parts: the first part covers creating Alexa skills and the second part, designing Internet of Things and Smart Home devices using a Raspberry Pi. The first chapters describe the process of Alexa communication, opening an Amazon account and creating a skill for free. The operation of an Alexa skill and terminology such as utterances, intents, slots, and conversations are explained. Debugging your code, saving user data between sessions, S3 data storage and Dynamo DB database are discussed. In-skill purchasing, enabling users to buy items for your skill as well as certification and publication is outlined. Creating skills using AWS Lambda and ASK CLI is covered, along with the Visual Studio code editor and local debugging. Also covered is the process of designing skills for visual displays and interactive touch designs using Alexa Presentation Language. The second half of the book starts by creating a Raspberry Pi IoT 'thing' to control a robot from your Alexa device. This covers security issues and methods of sending and receiving MQTT messages between an Alexa device and the Raspberry Pi. Creating a smart home device is described including forming a security profile, linking with Amazon, and writing a Lambda function that gets triggered by an Alexa skill. Device discovery and on/off control is demonstrated. Next, readers discover how to control a smart home Raspberry Pi display from an Alexa skill using Simple Queue Service (SQS) messaging to switch the display on and off or change the color. A node-RED design is discussed from the basic user interface right up to configuring MQTT nodes. MQTT messages sent from a user are displayed on a Raspberry Pi. A chapter discusses sending a proactive notification such as a weather alert from a Raspberry Pi to an Alexa device. The book concludes by explaining how to create Raspberry Pi as a stand-alone Alexa device.

Elektronische systemen in een voertuig worden steeds belangrijker. Dit wordt mede veroorzaakt door de toenemende milieu- en veiligheidseisen en de wensen ten aanzien van het comfort. Dit leidt niet alleen tot een toename van het aantal regeleenheden (tot 80 stuks in een enkel voertuig) maar deze regeleenheden, die vaak van verschillende leveranciers zijn, moeten ook met elkaar communiceren. Vanaf 2008 is het voor nieuwe voertuigen die voor typegoedkeuring worden aangeboden, verplicht om ten aanzien van emissiegerelateerde storingen via de CAN-bus met een externe diagnosetester te communiceren, volgens een door Europese regelgeving vastgestelde norm. Er wordt uitgebreid aandacht besteed aan de opbouw en werking van het CAN-protocol, gezien vanuit zowel de software als de hardware. Onderwerpen die aan bod komen zijn onder andere de opbouw van een CAN-bericht, de prioriteitsregeling en de fysieke verbinding. Behalve de CAN-bus komt ook EOBD via de CAN-bus uitgebreid aan de orde: hoe werkt EOBD, en welke diagnostische gegevens zijn met behulp van een diagnosetester toegankelijk. De ‘rode draad’ wordt gevormd door de regelgeving van de Europese Unie en de internationale ISO- en SAE-normen. Deze regelgeving en normen moeten er voor zorgen dat de milieubelasting tot een minimum wordt beperkt en een milieugerelateerde storing snel gesignaleerd (en gerepareerd) wordt. Na het doorlezen en bestuderen van de inhoud wordt de CAN-bus en de diagnose via de CAN-bus voor iedereen inzichtelijk; de hobbyist die een CAN-bericht wil begrijpen en eventueel een eigen CAN-bussysteem wil opzetten, de sleutelaar die de storingen van zijn eigen voertuig wil uitlezen en repareren, maar ook de professionele diagnosetechnicus die een lastige fout moet opsporen. Daarnaast kunnen studenten en ontwikkelaars van CAN- en EOBD-applicaties door bestuderen en vooral experimenteren een basis leggen voor eigen toepassingen.
