Affordable solutions with the ESP8266 and 3D printing If you are looking for a small yet powerful IoT device, you are likely to come across the ESP8266 and compatible products on the market today. One of these, the Wemos/Lolin D1 Mini Pro board strikes a remarkable balance between cost and performance. A small and very affordable prototype board, the D1 Mini Pro stands out with its WiFi functionality and a 16-Mbytes flash memory for easy creation of a flash file system. In addition, there are sufficient input and output pins (only one analog input though) to support PWM, I²C, and One-Wire systems to mention but a few. The book describes the operation, modding, construction, and programming of home appliances including a colorful smart home accessory, a refrigerator/greenhouse controller, an AC powerline monitor, a door lock monitor, and an IKEA Trådfri controller. As a benefit, all firmware developed for these DIY, "IoT-ized" devices can be updated over-the-air (OTA). For most of the designs in the book, a small printed circuit board (PCB) and an enclosure are presented so readers can have a finished and attractive-looking product. Readers having – or with access to! – a 3D printer can "print" the suggested enclosures at home or in a shop. Some of the constructions benefit from a Raspberry Pi configured as a gateway or cms server. This is also described in detail with all the necessary configuring. You don’t need to be an expert but the prerequisites to successful replication of the projects include basic skills with PC software including the ability to surf the Internet. In terms of hardware, you should be comfortable with soldering and generally assembling the PCBs presented in the book. All custom software written for the IoT devices, the PCB layouts, and 3D print files described in the book are available for free downloading.

Die WiFi-Module der chinesischen Firma Espressif haben schon längst die Maker-Community erobert, bieten sie doch zu einem konkurrenzlosen Preis MCU- und WiFi-Funktionalität. Mit einfachen Mitteln lässt sich ein Arduino mit einem ESP-Modul um WiFi erweitern. Die globale Bastler-Gemeinde ersetzte schon bald die integrierte Firmware mit eigener Firmware, sodass Entwickler ESP-Boards wie Arduino-Boards programmieren können. Der neue ESP32 geht einen Schritt weiter und ist in jeder Beziehung leistungsfähiger als der ESP8266. Zudem besitzt er nun Bluetooth-Funktionalität. Der ESP32 verfügt über einen 240-MHz-Zweikern-Mikroprozessor mit einer Performanz von 600 DMIPS. Neben 520 KByte SRAM befinden sich 16 MByte Flashspeicher an Board. Zur Kommunikation mit der Außenwelt enthält das System-on-a-Chip die 802.11-b/g/n-WiFi-Komponente HT40 und Bluetooth-Funktionalität. Als Sensoren bietet der ESP32 einen Hall-Sensor, eine zehnfache, kapazitive Touch-Schnittstelle, einen analogen Verstärker für niedrige Signale und einen 32-kHz-Kristallquartz. Der Bestseller-Autor Erik Bartmann hat sich ausführlich mit dem ESP32 beschäftigt. Heraus gekommen ist dabei Das ESP32-Praxisbuch, in dem er die Leser Schritt für Schritt in die Arbeit mit diesem preiswerten WiFi-Mikrocontroller einführt.

Open-Source-Code mit Arduino IDE und PlatformIO Autonomes Fahren: GPS, Accelerometer, Gyroskop PS3-Controller Mikrocontroller wie der Arduino und Einplatinenrechner wie der Raspberry Pi haben sich zu beliebten Komponenten entwickelt. Dritter im Bunde ist der ESP32 der Firma Espressif. Mikrocontroller dieser Baureihe zeichnen sich durch eine Vielzahl implementierter Funktionen aus, die bei einem Arduino konventioneller Prägung mit einem Atmel-AVR-Mikrocontroller erst mit weiterer Hardware möglich sind. Prominentes Beispiel sind hier die WiFi- und Bluetooth-Funktionalitäten. Gegenüber einem Raspberry Pi zeichnen sie sich durch einen deutlich geringeren Preis aus. Allgemeine Informationen für die Realisierung eines Roboterauto-Projekts mit dem ESP32 sind leicht zu finden. Dabei handelt es sich aber oft nur um Ausführungen zu einem Teilaspekt, ohne inhaltliche oder funktionale Abstimmung. So ist nicht nur die Beschaffung der benötigten Informationen mühselig und zeitaufwändig, sie kann auch außerordentlich fehlerträchtig sein. Ansatzpunkt dieses Buches ist, diese Lücke zu schließen. Es geht auf verschiedene Möglichkeiten eines Chassis ein, vermittelt nötige Kenntnisse und führt schrittweise von einer einfachen Motorsteuerung zu einem komplexen sensor- und sprachgesteuerten Roboterauto. Hacks rund um GPS und eine PlayStation 3 runden die Sache ab. Inhalt Bei der Reihenfolge der Kapitel wurde versucht – beginnend bei der Darstellung von grundlegenden Informationen – über die Lösung einfacher Aufgaben zu etwas anspruchsvolleren Techniken zu führen. Der Mikrocontroller ESP32 Die Software erstellen Die Stromversorgung Rund um die Hardware Das Chassis Der Gleichstrommotor Kabellose Steuerung über WiFi Mit Sensoren Hindernisse erkennen Eine eigene Roboterauto-App Servo und Lichtsensor GPS Accelerometer / Gyroskop PS3-Controller Roboterauto-App Hinweis zur Software Die Dateien haben das Suffix (.cpp). Grund ist die Entwicklung mit PlatformIO. Mit Copy & Paste sollten sie auch in der Arduino-IDE verwendet werden können.

Practical Introduction to 3D Modeling from Enclosure to Front Panel Embedding a vintage component, creating a professional looking home for a circuit board, or even designing a complex apparatus complete with a chassis – these and many other challenges turn into a stimulating pleasure with FreeCAD. Once you have internalized the basic processes, there are virtually no limits to your imagination. Starting to use a new software is never straightforward – especially with a tool as versatile as FreeCAD. Manageable, but at the same time easily usable individual components provide the starting point in this book. Putting these components together later results in assemblies. In the FreeCAD universe, a workable trajectory is demonstrated. The described procedure is illustrative so the examples are easily applied to custom tasks. The devices were made by the author and illustrated with photos. Creating a 3D design is requiring some effort but the initial investment pays off soon. Besides the impressive spatial representation of the projects, the extracted drawings yield a solid base for documentation and production. Extended FreeCAD capabilities like the unfolding of sheet metal parts enormously add to efficiency and pushes models forward into practical assembly. Soon you will definitely not want to do without FreeCAD!
