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!

In ESP32 programmeren voor beginners bekijken we de ESP32 en zijn voorganger, de ESP8266. Deze kleine, maar zeer krachtige Chinese chips bestaan uit een processor, geheugen, input- en outputaansluitingen en hebben draadloze netwerktoegang via WiFi. Met dit boek tonen we hoe de programmeeromgeving Arduino werkt en hoe die kan gebruikt worden met ESP-hardware. Aan de hand van voorbeelden en projecten verduidelijken we hoe de ESP-hardware kan worden toegepast. In vogelvlucht: We beschrijven de opbouw van ESP-experimenten. We tonen hoe displays worden aangesloten. Eeprom_24c16 demonstreert hoe een externe geheugenchip wordt gebruikt om getallen en tekst op te slaan en weer uit te lezen. Project Klok is de eenvoudige implementatie van een digitale klok. We geven een handleiding voor het gebruik van temperatuur- en luchtvochtigheidsensoren. Webclient laat zien hoe de ESP32 gegevens van het internet kan halen. Met Webserver kunnen we op afstand met een pc of smartphone gegevens halen uit een ESP32, sensoren uitlezen en toestellen aan- en uitschakelen. Een NTP-klok haalt tijdinformatie van Tijdserver. Die geeft zowel de tijd als het aantal seconden sinds 1 januari 1900. Het boek beschrijft hoe hieruit de tijd kan worden berekend. In het laatste hoofdstuk gebruiken we het internet om nauwkeurige weerinformatie en voorspellingen op te vragen.

The Internet of Things is rapidly gaining interest, and that has fueled the development of the Edison. A tiny computer, the size of a postage stamp, with a lot of power and built-in wireless communication capabilities. In this eBook we will help you get up-to-speed with the Edison, by installing the software both on the Edison as well as on your Windows PC. We will use the Edison Arduino break-out board because it is easy to work with. We will discuss Linux, Arduino C++ and Python, and show examples of how the Edison can interface with other hardware. We will use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to set up wireless connections, and show you a trick to program sketches over Wi-Fi. Once you have completed this book your Edison will be up and running with the latest software version, and you will have sufficient knowledge of both hardware and software to start making your own applications. You will even be able to program the Edison over USB and wireless both in Arduino C++ and Python. This is not a projects eBook, but a toolbox that will allow you to explore the wonderful world of the Intel Edison!

Raspberry Pi 5 provides two four-lane MIPI connectors, each of which can support either a camera or a display. These connectors use the same 22-way, 0.5 mm-pitch “mini” FPC format as the Compute Module Development Kit, and require adapter cables to connect to the 15-way, 1 mm-pitch “standard” format connectors on current Raspbery Pi camera and display products.These mini-to-standard adapter cables for cameras and displays (note that a camera cable should not be used with a display, and vice versa) are available in 200 mm, 300 mm and 500 mm lengths.
