Master digital electronics – the hands-on way! This bundle includes the book Learning Digital Electronics, featuring 20+ practical projects in Logic and Circuit design, as well as a 100-piece kit – so you can start building logic circuits, counters, displays, and more right away. Learning Digital Electronics (Book) This book is a practical guide to digital electronics, covering the essential components of modern digital systems: number systems, logic gates, Boolean algebra, combinational and sequential logic, and more. Through more than 20 structured projects, you’ll design and build digital systems using real-world components such as logic gates, multiplexers, decoders, flip-flops, counters, and shift registers. The projects range from basic LED logic circuits to digital locks, display systems, traffic light controllers, and timing-based designs. Selected projects introduce the use of tools such as CircuitVerse for circuit simulation, while several designs make use of 74HC-series logic devices, commonly used in digital hardware prototyping. Inside, you’ll find: Clear coverage of number systems and binary arithmetic Logic gate fundamentals and universal gate implementations Step-by-step projects using flip-flops, counters, and registers Real-world design with 74HC-series logic chips Techniques for designing combinational and sequential systems This book takes a design-first, application-driven approach to digital electronics—built around working circuits, tested logic, and hands-on experimentation.

Build Your Own Vintage Radio Broadcaster The Elektor AM Transmitter Kit allows streaming audio to vintage AM radio receivers. Based on a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller module, the AM Transmitter can transmit on 32 frequencies in the AM band, from 500 kHz up to 1.6 MHz in 32 steps of approx. 35 kHz. The frequency is selected with a potentiometer and shown on a 0.96" OLED display. A pushbutton allows toggles the transmitting mode between On and Off. The range of the transmitter depends on the antenna. The onboard antenna provides a range of a few centimeters, requiring the AM Transmitter to be placed close to or inside the radio. An external loop antenna (not included) can be connected to increase the range. The Elektor AM Transmitter Kit comes as a kit of parts that you must solder to the board yourself. Features The board is compatible with a Hammond 1593N enclosure (not included).A 5 VDC power supply with micro-USB connector (e.g., an old phone charger) is needed to power the kit (not included). Current consumption is 100 mA. The Arduino software (requiring Earle Philhower’s RP2040 Boards Package) for the Elektor AM Transmitter Kit plus more information is available at the Elektor Labs page of this project.

Schaltungen, Software und Empfangspraxis Die Kurzwellen-Empfangstechnik entwickelt sich ständig weiter. Im Mai 2007 wurde von Elektor das "Software Defined Radio mit USB-Schnittstelle" vorgestellt. Ziel war ein möglichst einfacher Empfänger, der durch den Einsatz geeigneter Software überzeugende Empfangsergebnisse liefert. Die benötigten Programme stehen auf der Elektor-Website und im Internet gratis zur Verfügung. Schon nach wenigen Monaten hatte dieser neue Empfänger eine weite Verbreitung gefunden. Zahlreiche Software-Autoren unterstützten das Projekt. Auch Bedienungshinweise, Erweiterungen sowie Tipps und Tricks findet man im Netz. Die Vielfalt der Möglichkeiten erschwert die Orientierung. Deshalb wurde dieses Buch geschrieben. Das Ziel ist ein Überblick über Aufbau, Software und Bedienung des SDR. Außerdem werden Selbstbauprojekte vorgestellt, die es erlauben, mit geringsten Kosten eigene Empfänger zu entwerfen; denn das Thema entwickelt sich laufend weiter...
