When you experiment with the Raspberry Pi on a regular basis and you connect a variety of external hardware to the GPIO port via the header you may well have caused some damage in the past. The Elektor Raspberry Pi Buffer Board is there to prevent this! The board is compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero 2 (W), 3, 4, 5, 400 and 500. All 26 GPIOs are buffered with bi-directional voltage translators to protect the Raspberry Pi when experimenting with new circuits. The PCB is intended to be inserted in the back of Raspberry Pi 400/500. The connector to connect to the Raspberry Pi is a right angled 40-way receptacle (2x20). The PCB is only a fraction wider. A 40-way flat cable with appropriate 2x20 headers can be connected to the buffer output header to experiment for instance with a circuit on a breadboard or PCB. The circuit uses 4x TXS0108E ICs by Texas Instruments. The PCB can also be put upright on a Raspberry Pi. Downloads Schematics Layout

Build Your Own Vintage Radio Broadcaster The Elektor AM Transmitter Kit allows streaming audio to vintage AM radio receivers. Based on a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller module, the AM Transmitter can transmit on 32 frequencies in the AM band, from 500 kHz up to 1.6 MHz in 32 steps of approx. 35 kHz. The frequency is selected with a potentiometer and shown on a 0.96" OLED display. A pushbutton allows toggles the transmitting mode between On and Off. The range of the transmitter depends on the antenna. The onboard antenna provides a range of a few centimeters, requiring the AM Transmitter to be placed close to or inside the radio. An external loop antenna (not included) can be connected to increase the range. The Elektor AM Transmitter Kit comes as a kit of parts that you must solder to the board yourself. Features The board is compatible with a Hammond 1593N enclosure (not included).A 5 VDC power supply with micro-USB connector (e.g., an old phone charger) is needed to power the kit (not included). Current consumption is 100 mA.

Zeitsteuerung, Scheduler, PIO und Zustandsmaschinen Multitasking ist der Schlüssel zu leistungsfähigen Embedded-Systemen, und zugleich eine der größten Herausforderungen in der Mikrocontroller-Programmierung. Dieses Buch zeigt Ihnen Schritt für Schritt, wie Sie von einem einfachen Ein-Task-Programm zu einem strukturierten, reaktionsfähigen und skalierbaren System gelangen. Dabei steht nicht nur das Wie, sondern vor allem das Warum im Mittelpunkt. Sie lernen: warum scheinbare Parallelität entsteht weshalb blockierende Programme instabil werden wie Aufgaben effizient und kontrolliert parallel ablaufen Ausgehend vom klassischen Superloop vermittelt das Buch moderne Multitasking-Strategien – von nicht-blockierender Programmierung und Tick-Systemen bis zu Task-Schedulern, Zustandsmaschinen und ereignisgesteuerten Konzepten. Der Fokus liegt auf der Praxis: Sensoren, Displays, Kommunikation und reale Anwendungen werden Schritt für Schritt integriert und mit verständlich kommentierten Beispielprogrammen erklärt. Fortgeschrittene Themen umfassen: Multicore-Programmierung mit dem Raspberry Pi Pico asynchrones Programmieren mit uasyncio RTOS-Grundlagen mit FreeRTOS die Kombination aus Multicore und RTOS Dabei werden auch die Grenzen dieser Techniken, insbesondere unter MicroPython, klar aufgezeigt. Das Buch richtet sich an ambitionierte Einsteiger und fortgeschrittene Entwickler, die Embedded-Systeme fundiert verstehen und robuste, wartbare Multitasking-Anwendungen entwickeln möchten.

A Beginner's Guide to AI and Edge Computing Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now part of our daily lives. With companies developing low-cost AI-powered hardware into their products, it is now becoming a reality to purchase AI accelerator hardware at comparatively very low costs. One such hardware accelerator is the Hailo module which is fully compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5. The Raspberry Pi AI Kit is a cleverly designed hardware as it bundles an M.2-based Hailo-8L accelerator with the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ to offer high speed inferencing on the Raspberry Pi 5. Using the Raspberry Pi AI Kit, you can build complex AI-based vision applications, running in real-time, such as object detection, pose estimation, instance segmentation, home automation, security, robotics, and many more neural network-based applications. This book is an introduction to the Raspberry Pi AI Kit, and it is aimed to provide some help to readers who are new to the kit and wanting to run some simple AI-based visual models on their Raspberry Pi 5 computers. The book is not meant to cover the detailed process of model creation and compilation, which is done on an Ubuntu computer with massive disk space and 32 GB memory. Examples of pre-trained and custom object detection are given in the book. Two fully tested and working projects are given in the book. The first project explains how a person can be detected and how an LED can be activated after the detection, and how the detection can be acknowledged by pressing an external button. The second project illustrates how a person can be detected, and how this information can be passed to a smart phone over a Wi-Fi link, as well as how the detection can be acknowledged by sending a message from the smartphone to your Raspberry Pi 5.
