Temporary Delay in the Delivery of Unitree Robots
Like many other suppliers, we are currently experiencing delays in the delivery of Unitree robots. A shipment from our supplier is currently held in customs, which has unfortunately led to later-than-planned deliveries for previously placed orders. We are actively working with our supplier to resolve this issue and expect more clarity soon, but at this time, we cannot provide any guarantees.
Additionally, a new shipment is already on its way, though it will take some time to arrive. Since other suppliers are facing similar challenges, switching to a different provider is unlikely to result in a faster solution. Our top priority remains fulfilling existing orders.
If you have any questions or would like to update your order, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team. We will keep you informed of any further developments.

Clever Tricks with ATmega328 Pro Mini Boards
With a simple Pro Mini board and a few other components, projects that 20 or 30 years ago were unthinkable (or would have cost a small fortune) are realized easily and affordably in this book: From simple LED effects to a full battery charging and testing station that will put a rechargeable through its paces, there’s something for everyone.
All the projects are based on the ATmega328 microcontroller, which offers endless measuring, switching, and control options with its 20 input and output lines. For example, with a 7-segment display and a few resistors, you can build a voltmeter or an NTC-based thermometer. The Arduino platform offers the perfect development environment for programming this range of boards.
Besides these very practical projects, the book also provides the necessary knowledge for you to create projects based on your own ideas. How to measure, and what? Which transistor is suitable for switching a certain load? When is it better to use an IC? How do you switch mains voltage? Even LilyPad-based battery-operated projects are discussed in detail, as well as many different motors, from simple DC motors to stepper motors.
Sensors are another exciting topic: For example, a simple infrared receiver that can give disused remote controls a new lease on life controlling your home, and a tiny component that can actually measure the difference in air pressure between floor and table height!

The Unitree G1 is a modern humanoid robot that impresses with its remarkable flexibility and advanced technology. With an exceptionally wide range of joint movement and up to 43 joint motors, it exceeds the agility of a typical human. Powered by imitation learning and reinforcement learning, its robotic systems are continuously developed and optimized through artificial intelligence.
One of the G1's most impressive features is its ability to autonomously move into a walking position as soon as it touches the ground – no external assistance required! It can immediately start moving, demonstrating a high level of independence and adaptability. The G1 is also equipped with a force-controlled, highly dexterous hand that operates with both sensitivity and precision, thanks to its combination of force and position control. This hand closely mimics human movements, allowing for precise object manipulation.

AI Projects for the Raspberry Pi with the AI HAT+
Edge AI is transforming everyday devices by putting intelligence where it matters most: directly inside the hardware. With on-device inference, a camera can recognize a visitor instantly, a phone can translate speech without streaming audio to the cloud, and a wearable can detect anomalies in real time—fast, private, and reliable even when the network disappears.
This book is your practical guide to building exactly those kinds of systems with the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ and the Hailo-8L accelerator. You’ll start with clear foundations: core AI and machine-learning concepts, how neural networks work, and what truly distinguishes Edge AI from cloud AI—plus an honest look at ethical considerations and future impacts.
Then it’s straight to hands-on physical computing. Step by step, you’ll set up Raspberry Pi OS, power and cooling, and develop in Python using the Thonny IDE. You’ll learn GPIO basics with lights and servos, mount the AI HAT+ hardware, install and verify the Hailo software stack, and connect the right camera—official modules or USB webcams, even multiple cameras.
From your first pipeline to real projects, you’ll run person detection, pose estimation, segmentation, and depth estimation, then level up with YOLO object detection: smart alerts, guest counters, and custom extensions. You’ll even connect vision to motion by combining gesture recognition with servo-driven mechanisms, including a robotic arm.
With troubleshooting tips, hardware essentials, and a practical Python refresher, this book turns Edge AI from buzzword into buildable reality.
Der Arduino Uno ist ein Open-Source-Mikrocontroller-Entwicklungssystem, das Hardware, eine integrierte Entwicklungsumgebung (IDE) und eine Vielzahl von Bibliotheken umfasst. Es wird von einer riesigen Gemeinschaft von Programmierern, Elektronikern, Enthusiasten und Akademikern unterstützt. Insbesondere die Bibliotheken erleichtern die Programmierarbeit und reduzieren die Entwicklungszeiten, da sie das Erstellen von Programmen erheblich erleichtern.
Der Raspberry Pi 4 kann in vielen Projekten wie Audio- und Videoanwendungen, aber auch in Industriesteuerungen, Robotik, Spielen usw. eingesetzt werden. Dazu bietet er auch WiFi- und Bluetooth-Fähigkeiten, wodurch er sich zudem hervorragend für internetbasierte Steuerungs- und Überwachungsanwendungen eignet.
In diesem Buch werden sowohl der Raspberry Pi 4 als auch der Arduino Uno in PID-basierten automatischen Steuerungsanwendungen eingesetzt. Nach einer grundlegenden Theorie der Regelsysteme werden funktionierende und getestete Projekte zur Steuerung realer Systeme mit PID-Reglern vorgestellt. Die Open-Loop-Eigenschaften, die Abstimmung der PID-Parameter und das Closed-Loop-Zeitverhalten der Systeme werden zusammen mit Blockdiagrammen, Schaltplänen und PID-Regelalgorithmen ausführlich diskutiert.
Vollständige Programme für den Raspberry Pi und den Arduino Uno runden die im Buch vorgestellten Projekte ab. Die Regelsysteme können problemlos auch auf andere Projekte angewendet werden und die für den Raspberry Pi 4 angegebenen Programme sollten auch mit anderen Modellen der Raspberry Pi-Familie reibungslos funktionieren.
Das Buch behandelt folgende Themen:
Steuer- und Regelsysteme
Analoge und digitale Sensoren
Übertragungsfunktionen und zeitkontinuierliche Systeme
Systemantwortfunktionen erster und zweiter Ordnung
Zeitdiskrete digitale Systeme
Zeitkontinuierliche PID-Regler

Bring some engineering magic to your festive season with the Wordy LED Christmas Tree, a unique DIY electronics kit designed by Elektor. This beautifully engineered 3D Christmas tree combines eleven PCBs, a Raspberry Pi Pico, and 27 addressable RGB LEDs to illuminate Christmas greetings in seven languages: Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
Unlike ordinary LED trees, each word inside the tree has its own light chamber, creating a refined, softly glowing display without sound or flicker. The LEDs are fully WS2812-compatible and driven via the popular Adafruit NeoPixel library, making custom animations and color effects easy to create.
Perfect for makers, tinkerers, and festive electronics fans, this kit offers both an enjoyable build and a striking, conversation-worthy decoration. The Wordy Christmas Tree is your perfect holiday maker project!
