Elektor Labs Elektor Sand Clock for Raspberry Pi Pico (incl. Laser Head Upgrade)
This bundle contains the popular Elektor Sand Clock for Raspberry Pi Pico and the new Elektor Laser Head Upgrade, offering even more options for displaying the time. Not only can you "engrave" the current time in sand, you can now alternatively write it on a glow-in-the-dark foil or create green drawings. Contents of the bundle Elektor Sand Clock for Raspberry Pi Pico (normal price: €50) Elektor Laser Head Upgrade for Sand Clock (normal price: €35) Elektor Sand Clock for Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi-based Eye Catcher) A standard sand clock just shows how time passes. In contrast, this Raspberry Pi Pico-controlled sand clock shows the exact time by "engraving" the four digits for hour and minute into the layer of sand. After an adjustable time the sand is flattened out by two vibration motors and everything begins all over again. At the heart of the sand clock are two servo motors driving a writing pen through a pantograph mechanism. A third servo motor lifts the pen up and down. The sand container is equipped with two vibration motors to flatten the sand. The electronic part of the sand clock consists of a Raspberry Pi Pico and an RTC/driver board with a real-time clock, plus driver circuits for the servo motors. A detailed construction manual is available for downloading. Features Dimensions: 135 x 110 x 80 mm Build time: approx. 1.5 to 2 hours Included 3x Precut acrylic sheets with all mechanical parts 3x Mini servo motors 2x Vibration motors 1x Raspberry Pi Pico 1x RTC/driver board with assembled parts Nuts, bolts, spacers, and wires for the assembly Fine-grained white sand Elektor Laser Head Upgrade for Sand Clock The new Elektor Laser Head transforms the Sand Clock into a clock that writes the time on glow-in-the-dark film instead of sand. In addition to displaying the time, it can also be used to create ephemeral drawings. The 5 mW laser pointer, with a wavelength of 405 nm, produces bright green drawings on the glow-in-the-dark film. For best results, use the kit in a dimly lit room. Warning: Never look directly into the laser beam! The kit includes all the necessary components, but soldering three wires is required. Note: This kit is also compatible with the original Arduino-based Sand Clock from 2017. For more details, see Elektor Magazine 1-2/2017 and Elektor Magazine 1-2/2018.

Elektor Bundles Mikrocontroller-Praxiskurs für Arduino-Einsteiger (Bundle)
Mit dem Elektor Arduino Nano Trainingsboard (MCCAB) eigene Projekte realisieren Der Mikrocontroller ist das wohl faszinierendste Teilgebiet der Elektronik, denn aufgrund der Vielzahl von Funktionen, die er auf seinem Chip vereinigt, ist er für den Entwickler ein universelles Multi-Tool zur Realisierung seiner Projekte. Praktisch jedes Gerät des täglichen Gebrauchs wird heute von einem Mikrocontroller gesteuert. Für einen elektronischen Laien blieb es aufgrund der Komplexität bisher allerdings ein Wunschtraum, eigene Ideen mit einem Mikrocontroller zu realisieren. Das Arduino-Konzept hat den Einsatz von Mikrocontrollern weitgehend vereinfacht, sodass jetzt auch Laien eigene Elektronik-Ideen mit einem Mikrocontroller verwirklichen können. Buch & Hardware im Bundle: 'Learning by Doing' Dieses im Bundle mitgelieferte Buch (im großen A4-Format) zeigt, wie man auch ohne große Erfahrung in Elektronik und Programmiersprachen eigene Projekte mit einem Mikrocontroller realisieren kann. Es ist ein Mikrocontroller-Praxiskurs für Einsteiger, denn nach einem Überblick über die Interna des Mikrocontrollers und einer Einführung in die Programmiersprache C liegt der Schwerpunkt des Kurses auf den praktischen Übungen. Der Leser eignet sich die erforderlichen Kenntnisse durch 'Learning by Doing' an: in dem umfangreichen Praxisteil mit 12 Projekten und 46 Übungen wird das im vorderen Teil des Buches Gelernte mit vielen Beispielen unterlegt. Die Übungen sind dabei so aufgebaut, dass der Bearbeiter eine Aufgabenstellung erhält, die er mit seinem im Theorieteil des Buches aufgebauten Wissen löst. Für jede Übung gibt es anschließend eine ausführlich erklärte und kommentierte Musterlösung, die dem Bearbeiter bei Problemen weiterhilft und die er mit seiner eigenen Lösung vergleichen kann. Arduino IDE In der Arduino IDE, einer Software-Entwicklungsumgebung, die kostenlos auf den eigenen PC heruntergeladen werden kann und die das gesamte Softwarepaket enthält, das für ein eigenes Mikrocontroller-Projekt benötigt wird, schreibt der Bearbeiter mit dem Editor der IDE seine Programme („Apps“) in der Programmiersprache C. Der in die Arduino IDE integrierte Compiler übersetzt sie in die Bits und Bytes, die der Mikrocontroller versteht und die dann über ein USB-Kabel in den Speicher des Mikrocontrollers auf dem Elektor Arduino Nano Trainingsboard (MCCAB) geladen werden. Externe Sensoren, Motoren oder Baugruppen abfragen oder steuern Das Elektor Arduino Nano Trainingsboard (MCCAB) enthält neben einem Mikrocontrollermodul Arduino Nano alle für die Übungen benötigten Bauteile wie Leuchtdioden, Schalter, Taster, akustische Signalgeber usw. Auch externe Sensoren, Motoren oder Baugruppen können mit diesem Mikrocontroller-Übungssystem abgefragt oder gesteuert werden.
