308 Schaltungen – das zehnte Buch innerhalb der „Dreihunderter-Reihe“. 308 Schaltungen und neue Konzepte in einem Buch sind ein (fast) unerschöpflicher Fundus zu allen Bereichen der Elektronik: Audio & Video, Spiel & Hobby, Haus & Hof, Prozessor & Controller, Messen & Testen, PC & Peripherie, Stromversorgung & Ladetechnik sowie zu Themen, die sich nicht katalogisieren lassen.
308 Schaltungen – enthält viele komplette Problemlösungen, zumindest aber die Idee hierzu. Nicht zuletzt sind die 308 Schaltungen der Anstoß zu ganz neuen Überlegungen.
308 Schaltungen – sind eine Zusammenfassung der Beiträge aus den Halbleiterheften 2000 bis 2002. Die Halbleiterhefte sind die jährlichen Doppelausgaben Juli/August der Zeitschrift Elektor.
308 Schaltungen ist das Buch für alle, die kreativ mit der Elektronik umgehen; sei es im Beruf oder als Hobby.

Ein Blick in die einschlägigen Internetforen zeigt, dass das Programmieren immer noch in der Gruppe der beliebten Hobbys rangiert. Wo dem Hobbyprogrammierer früher eine Reihe bekannter und populärer Programmiersprachen zur Verfügung standen, ist es heute relativ übersichtlich geworden: Außer C++, Java und Visual Basic gibt es wenig bekannte und beliebte Programmiersprachen. Was fehlt, ist eine Programmiersprache, die für Laien fast so einfach zu handhaben ist wie die alten BASIC-Versionen, deren Leistung und Features dennoch an die Möglichkeiten und die Power moderner Windows-Rechner angepasst sind. Diese Programmiersprache existiert und heißt Processing.
Das vorliegende Buch führt den Leser in diese visuelle Programmiersprache ein. Das Buch richtet sich an Leser, die bereits allgemeine Erfahrungen im Umgang mit Programmiersprachen besitzen und wissen, worum es sich bei Strings, Arrays oder Schleifen handelt. Der Autor zeigt anhand vieler kurzer Programmbeispiele, wie einfach es ist, mit Processing auch leistungsfähige Software zu programmieren und sich dabei auf eine nur geringe Anzahl von Befehlen, Anweisungen und Funktionen zu beschränken.
Die in diesem Buch vorgestellten Programme sind zum Teil Hardware-orientiert, wobei auch die Erfassung von Daten und die Steuerung von Hardware mittels des bekannten Mikrocontrollers Arduino einer Rolle spielt. Kurz und gut: Ein Buch für alle, die eine schnell und einfach zu programmierende Software mit elektronischer Hardware kombinieren und das Ganze über maßgeschneiderte Benutzeroberflächen steuern möchten.

Develop your own custom home automation devices
Espressif's ESP8266 and ESP32 microcontrollers have brought DIY home automation to the masses. However, not everyone is fluent in programming these microcontrollers with Espressif's C/C++ SDK, the Arduino core, or MicroPython. This is where ESPHome comes into its own: with this project, you don’t program your microcontroller but configure it.
This book demonstrates how to create your own home automation devices with ESPHome on an ESP32 microcontroller board. You’ll learn how to combine all kinds of electronic components and automate complex behaviours. Your devices can work completely autonomously, and connect over Wi-Fi to your home automation gateways such as Home Assistant or MQTT broker.
By the end of this book, you will be able to create your own custom home automation devices the way you want. Thanks to ESPHome and the ESP32, this is within everyone’s grasp.
