The Black Shadow Project: From Sensors to Embedded AI Most robotics books stop at individual components or jump to frameworks that hide the hardware. This book explores how a complete autonomous robot is designed, integrated and debugged from first principles, following an engineer’s practical problems, failed approaches and workable solutions. Three dedicated dual-core microcontrollers divide perception, motor control and navigation, reducing timing conflicts. Sixteen time-of-flight sensors across eight independent I²C buses provide 360° environmental coverage at 20 Hz. Their measurements feed a trained neural network that performs real-time obstacle avoidance directly on the microcontroller using TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers, without cloud services or a GPU. A built-in Wi-Fi access point and browser interface give your smartphone access to live telemetry, sensor visualisation and manual driving without installing an app. An onboard virtual machine executes bytecode scripts one instruction per scheduler tick, allowing multi-step manoeuvres without blocking real-time control loops. This establishes a foundation for increasingly independent behaviour. The closing chapter examines what separates shared control from the book’s goal of Level 3 autonomy: self-localisation, mission planning, reliable heading, predictive power management and recognising when to stop. It outlines possible solutions, then challenges you to design Black Shadow 2.0. Throughout, the emphasis remains on integration, troubleshooting and practical engineering decisions.

Das Interesse an Röhrenschaltungen ist wach... Gerade im Audiosektor gibt es nach wie vor eine beträchtliche Gruppe ernstzunehmender Fachleute (darunter viele Musiker), die von der klanglichen Überlegenheit neuer und auch alter Röhrentechnologie überzeugt sind. Röhrenverstärker – chromblitzende, z.T. äußerlich ungewöhnlich gestylte Geräte, in denen nicht nur viel elektronisches, mindestens genauso viel handwerkliches Know How steckt – sind für sie "State of the Art" der Klangreproduktion. Wer's nicht glaubt: ein Gang über diverse Audio-Messen ("High-End") überzeugt; sowohl einige der renommierten Großanbieter deutscher, amerikanischer und japanischer Provinienz als auch kleine (aber feine) Firmen bieten Röhrenverstärker. Exzellente, in Handarbeit gefertigte Geräte, seien optisch und klanglich, davon sind Röhrenanhänger fest überzeugt, selbst durch transistorisierte "High-Ender" nun einmal nicht zu schlagen. Alles hat seine Geschichte... Die Grundlagen moderner Reproduktionstechnik, das gilt für beide Verstärkertypen gleichermaßen, reichen mittlerweile rund sechzig bis siebzig Jahre zurück in die Zeit, als die Entwicklung und der Einsatz der ersten Kinoverstärker mit dem Aufkommen des Tonfilms realisiert wurden. Wichtige Impulse gab dabei die Vervollkommnung der Aufnahme- und Wiedergabewandler für die Verstärker, die möglichst verzerrungsarm (oder besser das, was man damals darunter verstand) ein relativ breites Frequenzband verarbeiten mussten. Auf der Suche nach Perfektion waren die 40er- und 50er-Jahre besonders bedeutsam: in dieser Zeit wurden Forderungen formuliert und Standards gesetzt, auf denen letztlich unsere modernen Qualitätsanforderungen im Audiobereich basieren. Dieses Buch wirft einen Blick mit den Schwerpunkten Erfindung der Elektronenröhre Entwicklung der Röhren-Audiotechnik und einer kommentierten Schaltungsdokumentation auf eben diese Geschichte der Reproduktionstechnik in der Röhrenära.

Das Durchführen von Messungen gehört zu den grundlegenden Tätigkeiten eines jeden Elektronikers, wie das tägliche Brot zum Leben. Ob bei der Entwicklung von Schaltungen, der Überprüfung während der Produktion oder bei der Fehlersuche in defekten Geräten: Messgeräte sind das wichtigste Handwerkszeug und kommen stets zum Einsatz. „Wer misst, misst Mist“ lautet ein oft zitiertes Motto. Damit dem nicht so ist, muss der Elektroniker wissen, was er tut, muss die Genauigkeit seiner Messgeräte und vor allem die Schwachpunkte des Messverfahrens kennen. Hier setzt dieses Buch an: Ausgehend von theoretischen Betrachtungen und Begriffsdefinitionen geht die Reise von den einfachen Zeigerinstrumenten über Multimeter und Oszilloskop hin zu FFT-Analysen und spezialisierten Messgeräten wie Audio-Analyser, Schallpegelmesser, Geräte- und Installationstester.

Valve Amplifiers are regarded by many to be the ne plus ultra when it comes to processing audio signals. The combination of classical technology and modern components has resulted in a revival of the valve amplifier. The use of toraidal-core output transformers, developed by the author over the past 15 years, has contributed to this revival. The most remarkable features of these transformers are their extremely wide frequency ranges and their very low levels of linear and nonlinear distortion. This book explains the whys and wherefores of toroidal output transformers at various technical levels, starting with elementary concepts and culminating in complete mathematical descriptions. In all of this, the interactions of the output valves, transformer and loudspeaker form the central theme. Next come the practical aspects. The schematic diagram of a valve amplifier often appears to be very simple at first glance, but anyone who has built a modern valve amplifier knows that a lot of critical details are hidden behind this apparent simplicity. These are discussed extensively, in connection with designs for amplifiers with output powers ranging from 10 to 100 watts. Finally, the author gives some attention to a number of special valve amplifiers, and to the theory and practice of negative feedback. In summary, this book offers innovative solutions for achieving perfect audio quality. Do-it-yourself builders, as well as persons who want to gain a deeper technical understanding of the complex world of audio transformers, valve amplifiers and audio signal processing, will find this book a rich and useful source of information.

All you need to know about good acoustics and sound systems in performance and worship spaces! Everyone knows that the ability to hear music in balance and to understand speech is essential in any space used for performance or worship. Unfortunately, in the early 21st century, we find that buildings with good acoustics are the exception rather than the rule. Much of the fault leading to this result can be traced to the widespread perception that acoustics is a black art. In fact, scientific acoustics as developed in the last century is a well-defined engineering practice that can lead to predictable excellent results. A basic, non-engineering understanding of acoustics will help building owners, theater managers, ministers and teachers of music, performers, and other professionals to achieve their goals of excellent acoustics in venues with which they work. Performers having a basic understanding of acoustics will be able to make the most of the acoustics of the venue in which they perform. This book helps those responsible for providing good acoustics in performance and worship spaces to understand the variables and choices entailed in proper acoustic design for performance and worship. Practicing acoustical consultants will find the book a useful reference as well. The level of presentation is comfortable and straightforward without being simplistic. If correct acoustical principles are incorporated into the design, renovation, and maintenance of performance and worship venues, good acoustics will be the result.

Für den sensiblen und kritischen HiFi-Hörer ist die Röhrenverstärkung noch immer der "musikalischste" Weg der Signalaufbereitung in der Übertragungskette Signalquelle, Verstärker und Lautsprecher. Transparenz, Räumlichkeit, Tiefe, Klangfülle, Wärme... alle diese oder ähnliche Charakterisierungen versuchen etwas zu umschreiben, was kaum zu beschreiben ist, bei dem die Sprache scheinbar "versagt": das Hörerlebnis "Röhre". Moderne Audio-Röhren-Spitzengeräte sind im Schnitt sündhaft teuer; bei den niedrigen, ausschließlich in Handarbeit gefertigten Stückzahlen ist das erklärlich. Schaltungstechnisch gibt es bei den Röhrenverstärkern kaum mehr Geheimnisse, denn die Röhrentechnologie wurde bereits vor rund 30 Jahren "erwachsen". Allenfalls die Herstellung hochwertiger Ausgangsübertrager wird teilweise als gut gehütetes Fabrikationsgeheimnis behandelt. Was für den Audio-Hörer gilt, gilt auch für die meisten – nicht nur technisch interessierten – Gitarrenspieler allemal: für sie produziert die Röhre "the singing voice", die das Gitarrenspiel erst lebendig erscheinen lässt. Dieses Buch macht alle diese Dinge dem technisch interessierten Leser deutlich. Es zeigt dem praxisorientierten Audio-Hörer und Musiker Alternativen auf, wie man durch Selbstbau zu einem preiswerten Röhren-Equipment kommen kann. Dazu gehört, dass auch einige theoretische Zusammenhänge nicht ganz aus dem Blickfeld geraten.
