The Piccolino rapid development board can be used to design microcontroller circuits quickly. The Piccolino has a fast 16f887 PIC microcontroller, voltage regulator, and communications module, and can be easily extended using its four headers. This e-book contains 30 projects based on the Piccolino. We'll use its unique communications facilities and get the Piccolino to communicate with programs on a PC. On the PC, we use the free programming language Small Basic. You can use this to create Windows programs with buttons and graphs quickly. You will learn how to analyze components such as inductors, capacitors, and OPAMPs, and how to display the measurement results in a graphical format. This will help you to design your circuits easily. We will then start to adapt to the Piccolino. We'll add components to it to make it more powerful, with extra features such as flow control and digital to analog conversion. The clear instructions will enable you to design and build your adaptations. This way you can make your custom designed Piccolino. We'll end up making an extension: a PCB that that can be mounted on the Piccolino headers. As an example, we'll design and build an extension for an LCD. You can use the included board layout to make your PCB or have it made for you. At the same time, you will learn how to make your extensions. The only limitation is your imagination! The clear descriptions along with circuit diagrams and photos, will make the building of these projects an enjoyable experience. Each project has a clear explanation of the reasons why it was designed in a particular way. This helps you learn a lot about the Piccolino, as well as Small Basic, and the components that are used in this e-book. You can adapt the projects to suit your requirements or combine several projects.

Bauen Sie Ihre perfekte Wetterstation oder forschen Sie zusammen mit der ganzen Welt an Umweltdaten. Mit vielen praktischen Projekten für Arduino, Raspberry Pi, NodeMCU, ESP32 und weiteren Developmentboards. Wetterstationen erfreuen sich seit Jahrzehnten großer Beliebtheit. Ob in aktuellen oder längst eingestellten Elektronik-Magazinen – regelmäßig finden sich Beiträge zum Eigenbau einer Wetterstation. Im Laufe der Jahre wurden diese Systeme immer ausgefeilter und können heute nahtlos in das Smart Home integriert werden. Allerdings erfordert dies oft die Bindung an einen (teuren) Markenhersteller, der sämtliche Komponenten abdeckt. Mit Ihrer eigenen Wetterstation können Sie jedoch mühelos mithalten – und sogar Messwerte erfassen, die kommerzielle Geräte nicht bieten. Dabei kommt der Spaß nicht zu kurz: Sie erweitern spielerisch Ihr Wissen über Elektronik, moderne Mikrocontroller-Developmentboards und Programmiersprachen. Schon für weniger als zehn Euro können Sie erste Umweltdaten erfassen und Ihr System Schritt für Schritt mit wachsendem Interesse weiter ausbauen. Aus dem Inhalt: Wind und Wetter auf der Spur Wetterdisplay mit OpenWeatherMap und Vakuum-Fluoreszenzanzeige Flüchtige organische Verbindungen in der Atemluft Mit MQ-Sensoren arbeiten: Kohlenmonoxid messen – geruchlos aber extrem giftig CO2-Ampel mit ThingSpeak-IoT-Anbindung Ein Gießautomat für Ihre Pflanzen Gutes Raumklima: Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit sind wichtige Kriterien Schickes Thermometer mit alter Röhrentechnik Nostalgisches Wetterhäuschen für die ganze Familie Luftdruck und Temperatur genau messen Sonnenbrand-Warngerät DIY-Sensor für die Sonnenscheindauer Das Smartphone zeigt’s an: Nebel oder klare Sicht?

Dieses Buch nimmt Sie mit auf eine Entdeckungsreise in die Welt der digitalen Elektronik. Nach dem Aufbau einer soliden Wissensbasis hierüber verlagert sich der Schwerpunkt zur programmierbaren Logik. Wie lassen sich mit vorhandenen Bausteinen logische Systeme aufbauen und wie koppelt man sie sicher und störungsfrei an die analoge Außenwelt? Das sind Fragen, die das Buch beantwortet. Moderne logische Systeme sind so komplex, dass deren Aufbau mit separaten Bauelementen wie einzelnen Gattern, Flipflops, Zählern oder Teilern eine fast unmögliche Aufgabe ist. Deshalb beschäftigt sich das Buch in der zweiten Hälfte mit der programmierbaren Logik in Form von FPGA- und CPLD-ICs. Sie lernen Methoden kennen, die als Brücke zwischen dem klassischen Design und der zeitgemäßen Entwicklung mit FPGA fungieren. Neben dem schematischen FPGA-Entwurf setzt sich das Buch auch mit Sprachen wie Verilog und VHDL auseinander. Das abschließende Projekt, eine Uhr mit Alarmfunktion in Verilog und VHDL, zeigt den praktischen Nutzen der programmierbaren Logik. Neben den erforderlichen Programmierkenntnissen ist auch der praktische Schaltungsaufbau von Bedeutung. Der Autor erläutert die wesentlichen Bedingungen hierfür, beispielsweise die der erforderlichen Stromversorgung und der optimalen (Analog-)Signalverarbeitung. Alle in diesem Buch besprochenen Beispiele lassen sich mit der kostenfreien FPGA-Entwicklungsumgebung Quartus von Altera realisieren.

A Hands-on Guide to Crafting Your Own Power Plant The book you are about to read provides a step-by-step guide for building a renewable energy power plant at home. Our goal was to make the book as practical as possible. The material is intended for immediate application with a small amount of theory. Yet, the theory is important as a foundation that saves time and effort by disabusing the readers of potential misconceptions. Specifically, upon having a firm understanding of photovoltaic physics, you will not be inclined to fruitlessly search for 90% efficient solar panels! We want our readers to be the “doers”. If the book gets covered in grime and some pages become torn while you are building your power plant – this is the best compliment to us. The book covers solar and wind energy. Also, a curious power source based on manure is discussed as well, giving the doers an opportunity to further develop the manure fuel cell. It is important to note that there are many companies offering installation of complete solar solutions. Upon installing the panels, the system is not owned by the customer. Therefore, there is no freedom for experimentation and optimization. Also, none can beat the cost of a DIY solution as well as the ultimate satisfaction. All that is written here is a result of us building a renewable energy solution in Southern California. As the book was completed, the energy began flowing!

This book is for people who want to understand how AC drives (also known as inverter drives) work and how they are used in industry by showing mainly the practical design and application of drives. The key principles of power electronics are described and presented in a simple way, as are the basics of both DC and AC motors. The different parts of an AC drive are explained, together with the theoretical background and the practical design issues such as cooling and protection. An important part of the book gives details of the features and functions often found in AC drives and gives practical advice on how and where to use these. Also described is future drive technology, including a matrix inverter. The mathematics is kept to an essential minimum. Some basic understanding of mechanical and electrical theory is presumed, and a basic knowledge of single andthree phase AC systems would be useful. Anyone who uses or installs drives, or is just interested in how these powerful electronic products operate and control modern industry, will find this book fascinating and informative.
