No-Code KI für Maker und Entwickler Dieses Buch nimmt Heraklits Leitsatz "Panta rhei – alles fließt" als Ausgangspunkt, um den Wandel und die Dynamik moderner Lebens- und Arbeitswelten zu beleuchten. Arbeitsabläufe – sogenannte Workflows – durchziehen sowohl das private als auch das geschäftliche Umfeld. Sie entstehen aus dem Zusammenspiel einzelner, oft banaler Handlungen, die in eine sinnvolle Reihenfolge gebracht werden. Diese Abläufe lassen sich manuell ausführen, doch durch Automatisierung und digitale Hilfsmittel werden sie deutlich effizienter und belastbarer. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf dem Einsatz Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI), die sich mit rasanter Geschwindigkeit in immer mehr Lebensbereiche integriert. Ob automatische Übersetzungen, persönliche Assistenzen oder intelligente Infrastrukturen – KI-Systeme wie ChatGPT oder DeepSeek bieten vielfältige Möglichkeiten zur Prozessvereinfachung. Im privaten Bereich sind smarte Häuser ein Beispiel, im geschäftlichen Umfeld sind es komplexe Reaktionsketten auf bestimmte Situationen, bei denen KI gezielt eingesetzt wird. Für die praktische Umsetzung solcher Prozesse bietet das Buch eine Einführung in das Low-Code-Tool n8n, das es ermöglicht, auch komplexe Workflows ohne klassische Programmierung zu gestalten. Mit über 500 fertigen Integrationen verbindet n8n verschiedenste Anwendungen miteinander und kann durch KI-Module ergänzt werden. Das Buch zeigt auf leicht verständliche Weise, wie sich solche Systeme sowohl im Alltag als auch in Unternehmen nutzen lassen – für mehr Effizienz, Struktur und technologische Souveränität. Alle Linux-Befehle und Dateieinträge zur Konfiguration von Anwendungen stehen für Sie als Download bereit. Downloads GitHub

Beginselen van het programmeren Eenvoudige projecten voor beginners Interface- en hardware-uitbreidingen Complexe projecten voor gevorderden Twee zaken hebben in belangrijke mate bijgedragen aan het grote succes van het Arduinoplatform. De eerste is de complete, gebruiksklare processorprint die de kennismaking met dehardware aanzienlijk vergemakkelijkt. En de tweede is de gratis verkrijgbare programmeerinterface, die zonder ingewikkelde installatieprocedures meteen gebruikt kan worden. Eenvoudige projecten voor beginners garanderen snelle resultaten. Het is niet nodig eerst ingewikkelde parameters (processortype of interface-instellingen) te selecteren -- de eerste voorbeeldprogramma's kunnen al na enkele minuten in de Arduino worden geladen en uitgeprobeerd. De Arduino-gebruiker wordt geholpen door een groot aantal software-bibliotheken -- maar deze nog dagelijks groeiende schat aan libraries vormt juist voor de beginner een luxe-probleem: na de eerste eenvoudige voorbeelden is het niet altijd even duidelijk hoe het nu verder moet. Bij de in het internet circulerende projecten ontbreekt het in veel gevallen aan gedetailleerd commentaar en uitleg. Er is geen duidelijk herkenbare leidraad, en eigenlijk is dat ook niet zo vreemd omdat de toepassingen door verschillende mensen voor verschillende doeleinden zijn ontwikkeld. Dat is waar dit boek te hulp komt. Projecten worden op een systematische manier gepresenteerd, waarbij elk project een ander onderwerp belicht. De aanpak is praktijkgericht, maar de noodzakelijke theoretische achtergrond wordt daarbij niet uit het oog verloren. Belangrijke onderwerpen zoals A/D-omzetting, timers en interrupts worden steeds in praktische projecten 'ingebed'. In het boek komen zaken als looplicht-effecten, praktisch bruikbare voltmeters, nauwkeurige digitale thermometers, allerlei soorten klokken, reactietesters en zelfs een muisgestuurde robotkraan aan de orde. En al lezende en doende krijgt de lezer een gedegen inzicht in de achterliggende controllertechnieken.

Understanding and Using Them Effectively What happens in electronics is invisible to the naked eye. The instrument that allows to accurately visualize electrical signals, the one through which the effects of electronics become apparent to us, is the oscilloscope. Alas, when one first ventures into electronics, it is often without an oscilloscope. And one is left fumbling, both physically and mentally. Observing an electrical signal on a screen for the first time is a revelation. Nobody wishes to forgo that marvel again. There is no turning back. In electronics, if one wishes to progress with both enjoyment and understanding, an oscilloscope is essential. This marks the beginning of a period of questioning: how to choose one? And no sooner is that question answered than a whole string of others arises, which can be summed up in just one: how does one use the oscilloscope in such a way that what it displays truly reflects the reality of the signals? Rémy Mallard is a passionate communicator with a gift for making complex technical subjects understandable and engaging. In this book, he provides clear answers to essential questions about using an oscilloscope and offers a wealth of guidance to help readers explore and understand the electrical signals behind electronic systems. With his accessible style and practical insights, this book is a valuable tool for anyone eager to deepen their understanding of electronics.
