Analoge schakelingen, sensors en microcontrollers
Elektronica is spannend. Het is een hobby die zowel leuk als leerzaam is. Het stelt je in staat om thuis of op het werk nieuwe en nuttige vaardigheden te leren. Een ervaren elektronicus ontwerpt zijn eigen schakelingen, en brengt zijn projecten tot leven. Maar voordat je zover bent, moet je eerst de basis onder de knie krijgen. Daarom brengt dit boek een groot aantal inleidende artikelen samen die in het elektronicatijdschrift Elektor zijn gepubliceerd. Het is je metgezel bij het leerproces in de wereld van de elektronica.
Het begint allemaal met analoge elektronica. Je zult de eenvoudigste componenten en circuits ontdekken om te begrijpen hoe ze werken, hoe ze op elkaar inwerken en de mogelijke problemen. De beste manier om vooruitgang te boeken is door echte experimenten uit te voeren, want theorie is niet genoeg. Dit boek begeleid je in een groot aantal praktische projecten voor beginners. Door ze te maken, doe je veel ervaring en kennis op.
Het tweede deel van het boek neemt je mee in de wereld van de digitale elektronica. De auteur bespreekt het gebruik van microcontrollers. Taken die voorheen werden uitgevoerd door discrete componenten of conventionele geïntegreerde schakelingen worden nu uitgevoerd door microcontrollers. De programmeertaal BASCOM, maar ook platforms als Arduino, BBC micro:bit en andere, maken dit leerproces veel gemakkelijker. Dit boek beschrijft in detail vele toepassingen van microcontrollers, die betaalbaar zijn voor de beginner. Hier gaan programmeren en solderen hand in hand!
Learn to program displays and GUIs with Python
This book is about Raspberry Pi 4 display projects. The book starts by explaining how to install the latest Raspbian operating system on an SD card, and how to configure and use the GPIO ports.
The core of the book explains the following topics in simple terms with fully tested and working example projects:
Simple LED projects

GUI Programming with Tkinder
One unique feature of this book is that it covers almost all types of display that readers will need to use in their Raspberry Pi based projects. The operation of each project is fully given, including block diagrams, circuit diagrams, and commented full program listings. It is therefore an easy task to convert the given projects to run on other popular platforms, such as Arduino or PIC microcontrollers.
Python program listings of all Raspberry Pi projects developed in this book are available for download at Elektor.com. Readers can use these programs in their projects. Alternatively, they can modify the programs to suit their applications.

La rencontre de la physique et du microcontrôleur ne devrait plus étonner personne. Il existe d’excellents enregistreurs de données, ainsi que de nombreux programmes pour les traiter et les présenter sous forme de graphiques colorés et attrayants. La physique rébarbative, c’est fini !
J’ai choisi l’Arduino, car cette plate-forme est d’un accès facile et sa documentation abondante. La famille Arduino offre des ressources extraordinaires à un prix dérisoire. Ajoutez-y le logiciel gratuit CoolTerm, et vous pouvez enregistrer toutes les données de mesure pour les retravailler sous Excel et créer aisément des tableaux ou des graphiques.
Ce livre n’est pas un manuel de physique. Vous n’y trouverez ni équations différentielles ni courbes abstraites. Nous étudierons des phénomènes physiques de la vie de tous les jours. Sans chercher à être exhaustif, mon modeste ouvrage apporte aux leçons de physique une approche nouvelle et créative grâce aux techniques modernes de mesure et de traitement des données. L’électronique utilisée est simple, et constitue une belle démonstration des possibilités.

Learn RC and RL Filters with Hands-On Circuits and Simulation
Introduction to Electronic Filters is your comprehensive guide to understanding, designing, and applying first-order electronic filters using resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Whether you are a student, maker, or educator, this book demystifies the theory behind RC and RL filters and bridges the gap between concepts and real-world applications through simulation and experimentation.
From the basics of frequency response and phase shift to hands-on breadboard builds and Python-based simulations, this book offers a deeply practical learning experience. You will learn to analyse filters using Bode plots and phasors, and explore applications in audio tone shaping, sensor signal conditioning, noise reduction, and power supply filtering.
As you progress, you’ll build, measure, simulate, and tune filters using modern tools like CircuitLab, Python, and the Analog Discovery 3. Each chapter includes thoughtfully crafted activities that reinforce learning by doing – designing filters for specific tasks, simulating dynamic behaviour, and observing how theory translates into performance.
Inside you’ll find:
A clear introduction to the fundamentals of electronic filters
Detailed explanations of RC and RL filters, cutoff frequency, and phase
Guided activities using both simulation and hardware tools
Real-life applications in audio, sensors, power supplies, and more
A beginner-friendly primer on Python and algebra for electronics
Whether you’re working through simulations or experimenting with real components on your workbench, this book will help you develop a solid understanding of electronic filters and their role in practical circuits.
