This bundle contains the popular Elektor Sand Clock for Raspberry Pi Pico and the new Elektor Laser Head Upgrade, offering even more options for displaying the time. Not only can you "engrave" the current time in sand, you can now alternatively write it on a glow-in-the-dark foil or create green drawings.
Contents of the bundle
Elektor Sand Clock for Raspberry Pi Pico (normal price: €50)
Elektor Laser Head Upgrade for Sand Clock (normal price: €35)
Elektor Sand Clock for Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi-based Eye Catcher)
A standard sand clock just shows how time passes. In contrast, this Raspberry Pi Pico-controlled sand clock shows the exact time by "engraving" the four digits for hour and minute into the layer of sand. After an adjustable time the sand is flattened out by two vibration motors and everything begins all over again.
At the heart of the sand clock are two servo motors driving a writing pen through a pantograph mechanism. A third servo motor lifts the pen up and down. The sand container is equipped with two vibration motors to flatten the sand. The electronic part of the sand clock consists of a Raspberry Pi Pico and an RTC/driver board with a real-time clock, plus driver circuits for the servo motors.
A detailed construction manual is available for downloading.
Features
Dimensions: 135 x 110 x 80 mm
Build time: approx. 1.5 to 2 hours
Included
3x Precut acrylic sheets with all mechanical parts
3x Mini servo motors
2x Vibration motors
1x Raspberry Pi Pico
1x RTC/driver board with assembled parts
Nuts, bolts, spacers, and wires for the assembly
Fine-grained white sand
Elektor Laser Head Upgrade for Sand Clock
The new Elektor Laser Head transforms the Sand Clock into a clock that writes the time on glow-in-the-dark film instead of sand. In addition to displaying the time, it can also be used to create ephemeral drawings. The 5 mW laser pointer, with a wavelength of 405 nm, produces bright green drawings on the glow-in-the-dark film. For best results, use the kit in a dimly lit room. Warning: Never look directly into the laser beam!
The kit includes all the necessary components, but soldering three wires is required.
Note: This kit is also compatible with the original Arduino-based Sand Clock from 2017. For more details, see Elektor Magazine 1-2/2017 and Elektor Magazine 1-2/2018.

Dual-Core Programming with a Raspberry Pi PicoVenture Into the World of Parallel Programming
Design IoT Projects with Raspberry Pi, Arduino and ESP32 The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a major application area for embedded systems. As a result, more and more people are becoming interested in learning about embedded design and programming. Technical colleges and universities are moving away from legacy 8 and 16-bit microcontrollers and are introducing 32-bit embedded microcontrollers to their curriculums. Many IoT applications demand precision, high processing power, and low power consumption. Produced by IBM, Node-RED is an open-source visual editor for wiring the Internet of Things. Node-RED comes with a large number of nodes to handle a multitude of tasks. The required nodes are selected and joined together to perform a particular task. Node-RED is based on flow type programming where nodes are configured and joined together to form an application program. There are nodes for performing complex tasks, including web access, Twitter, E-mail, HTTP, Bluetooth, MQTT, controlling GPIO ports, etc. One particularly nice aspect of Node-RED is that the programmer does not need to learn how to write complex programs. For example, an email can be sent by simply joining nodes together and writing only a few lines of code. The aim of this book is to teach how Node-RED can be used in projects. The main hardware platform used with most of the projects in this book is Raspberry Pi 4. Chapters are included to show how Node-RED can be also be used with Arduino Uno, ESP32 DevKitC, and the ESP8266 NodeMCU microcontroller development boards.
Dit 216 pagina's tellende e-book staat boordevol Arduino-ideeën, uitleg, tips, diagrammen, programma's, PCB layouts en meer. Genoeg voor dagen vol informatief, inspirerend en stimulerend leesplezier!
Opgemaakt als PDF bevat dit digitale document een inhoudsopgave inclusief links naar elk project, zo dat u gemakkelijk komt waar u wilt zijn. Dit biedt u de mogelijkheid om tussen projecten te wisselen en degene die u het meeste boeien snel en gemakkelijk te vinden.

De mens is van nature uitgerust met sensoren voor geluid, licht, geur, smaak en gevoel. Zintuigen die met elektronica slechts ten dele gekopieerd kunnen worden. Met de Elektor sensorkit kunnen we wel aardig in de buurt komen.
Sensoren kunnen elektronica aansturen, maar ze kunnen ons ook van informatie voorzien. Daarom vormt niet alleen het meten van grootheden, maar ook het zichtbaar maken ervan via de Arduino seriële monitor een niet onbelangrijk deel van dit boek.
De microprocessor ATtiny85 die de Arduino-taal begrijpt, maakt het experimenteren met sensoren gemakkelijk en goedkoop. We zullen niet snel een Arduino-kaartje vast solderen in een permanente opstelling. Bij een achtpotige ATtiny zal dat geen schuldgevoel opleveren. Dat neemt niet weg dat alle sketches gewoon op elk Arduino-board draaien met mogelijk hier en daar een aanpassing van pennummers omdat die kunnen verschillen met reguliere Arduino-boards.
We zullen uitgebreid aandacht besteden aan het programmeren van de ATtiny. Veel schakelingen zijn bruikbaar in het natuurkundepracticum op school of voor bedrijfsmatige toepassingen. Maar de nadruk ligt toch wel op de (beginnende) elektronicahobbyist die zijn vrije tijd op een leuke maar vooral ook nuttige manier wil besteden. Want meer dan ooit tevoren heeft techniek de toekomst.
