Space, the final frontier, will become more and more popular. The space industry is continually growing and new products and services will be required. Innovation is needed for the development of this industry. Today it is no longer possible to follow all the events in field of space. The space market is growing and activities are increasing, especially the market for small-satellites. This book wants to help close the gap and encourage electronic engineers to enter into the fascinating field of space electronics. One of the main difficulties is finding people with knowledge of space electronics design. Nowadays companies have to invest a lot of time and resources to instruct electronic engineers with no experience of space. Only a brief and basic introduction of this topic is typically achieved at university in space engineering lectures. Professionals with practical experience and the necessary theoretical knowledge are scarce. Companies from the space sector are searching for staff with knowledge of space electronics. This book will bring space closer aspiring to the space electronic hobbyists.

A Project-Based Introduction to Microcontrollers and Drone Control A Practical Introduction to Embedded Systems with the ESP32 This book is intended for readers who are new to embedded systems and looking for a structured, example-driven way to begin. If you’ve explored general-purpose electronics or Arduino-based resources but found them too broad or lacking in practical application, this guide offers a more focused alternative. With a small, affordable set of components – such as LEDs, sensors, an OLED screen and a motion sensor – you’ll build and work with the same hardware setup throughout the book. This allows you to focus on learning and experimenting without constant reconfiguration. Topics include: Understanding and programming the ESP32 microcontroller Using the Arduino IDE to write and deploy code Exploring cyber-physical systems, culminating in basic drone control No prior experience with Arduino or embedded development is required. Each section includes hands-on examples and mini-projects designed to reinforce core concepts and encourage deeper exploration. By the end, you’ll be equipped not only to reproduce the book’s examples, but also to extend them toward your own ideas and applications. Whether your interest is in learning embedded programming, building interactive systems, or exploring educational drone control, this book provides a clear and practical path to getting started.

The Controller Area Network (CAN) was originally developed to be used as a vehicle data bus system in passenger cars. Today, CAN controllers are available from over 20 manufacturers, and CAN is finding applications in other fields, such as medical, aerospace, process control, automation, and so on. This book is written for students, for practising engineers, for hobbyists, and for everyone else who may be interested to learn more about the CAN bus and its applications. The aim of this book is to teach you the basic principles of CAN networks and in addition the development of microcontroller based projects using the CAN bus. In summary, this book enables the reader to: Learn the theory of the CAN bus used in automotive industry Learn the principles, operation, and programming of microcontrollers Design complete microcontroller based projects using the C language Develop complete real CAN bus projects using microcontrollers Learn the principles of OBD systems used to debug vehicle electronics You will learn how to design microcontroller based CAN bus nodes, build a CAN bus, develop high-level programs, and then exchange data in real-time over the bus. You will also learn how to build microcontroller hardware and interface it to LEDs, LCDs, and A/D converters. The book assumes that the reader has some knowledge on basic electronics. Knowledge of the C programming language will be useful in later chapters of the book, and familiarity with at least one member of the PIC series of microcontrollers will be an advantage, especially if the reader intends to develop microcontroller based projects using the CAN bus.

With Examples for Arduino UNO, Raspberry Pi Pico and ESP32 Programming small electronic systems has never been more accessible. Tasks that once demanded expensive tools, specialized hardware, and deep electrical engineering expertise can now be tackled with low-cost development boards and approachable software. At the centre of this shift is the Arduino environment, which provides a unified and familiar way to program a wide range of microcontroller platforms—from classic AVR boards like the Arduino UNO to modern ARM-based boards such as the Raspberry Pi Pico, and powerful Wi-Fi-enabled devices like the ESP32. This book introduces embedded programming through the core idea that defines all microcontrollers: reading inputs, processing information, and controlling outputs in a predictable loop. The Arduino environment abstracts much of the hardware complexity, allowing you to focus on behaviour rather than implementation details. With just a few lines of code, you can blink LEDs, read sensors, control motors, and communicate with other devices. While the Arduino UNO, Raspberry Pi Pico, and ESP32 boards differ greatly in performance and features, they share the same fundamental building blocks: digital and analog I/O, timers, serial communication, PWM, interrupts, and power management. Learning these concepts within the Arduino framework builds skills that transfer easily across platforms and scale toward more advanced applications. By exploring multiple boards while maintaining a consistent programming approach, this book helps you progress from simple experiments to confidently produce well-structured designs—showing that embedded development can be both practical and enjoyable.

Modelle für 3D-Druck, CNC-Fräsen, Prozesskommunikation und Dokumentation erstellen Das Design dreidimensionaler Modelle mit Werkzeugen wie Blender oder 3D Studio Max ist eine Aufgabe, die ingenieurwissenschaftlich begabte Personen nur allzu gern delegieren. OpenSCAD wählt einen erfrischend anderen Zugang. Anstatt ein Objekt als Punktwolke zu betrachten, schreibt der Modellerzeuger in einer an JavaScript erinnernden Sprache ein Programm. Dieses beschreibt die zu erzeugende Geometrie als eine Serie von Arbeitsschritten. Dreidimensionale Modelle entstehen so in einem Workflow, der an die Entwicklung klassischer ingenieurwissenschaftliche Güter erinnert. Wegen der Nähe zur manuellen Fertigung mit Werkzeug ist das ein Prozess, der Ingenieuren gut in die Hände spielt. Aber Achtung: trotz der Einfachheit der Syntax ist OpenSCAD kein primitives Modellierungsprogramm. Umfangreiche Scriptingmöglichkeiten sorgen dafür, dass sich die Modelle dynamisch an geänderte Situationen anpassen. Dieses Lehrbuch demonstriert die Möglichkeiten von OpenSCAD anhand praktischer Beispiele. Freuen Sie sich auf Ersatzknöpfe für ein LeCroy-Oszilloskop, Garderobenstangenhalter, einen Halter für Seifenspender und diverse andere Beispiele aus dem realen Leben. Der mit mehr als 15 Dienstjahren Erfahrung ausgestattete Autor entwickelte dieses für Linux und Windows gleichermaßen geeignete Buch explizit für informatikaffine Personen. Wenn Sie mit irgendeiner Programmiersprache Erfahrung haben, ist dieses Buch ihr Weg zum schnellen und unbürokratischen Erzeugen dreidimensionaler Modelle.
