The Elektor Audio DSP FX Processor combines an ESP32 microcontroller and an ADAU1701 Audio DSP from Analog Devices. Besides a user-programmable DSP core, the ADAU1701 has high-quality analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters built-in and features an I²S port. This makes it suitable as a high-quality audio interface for the ESP32. Programs for the ESP32 can be created with Arduino, Platform IO, CMake or by using the Espressif IDF in another way. Programs for the ADAU7101 audio DSPs are created with the free visual programming tool SigmaStudio by dragging and dropping pre-defined algorithm blocks on a canvas.

Program, build, and master over 50 projects with MicroPython and the RP2040 microprocessor The Raspberry Pi Pico is a high-performance microcontroller module designed especially for physical computing. Microcontrollers differ from single-board computers, like the Raspberry Pi 4, in not having an operating system. The Raspberry Pi Pico can be programmed to run a single task very efficiently within real-time control and monitoring applications requiring speed. The ‘Pico’ as we call it, is based on the fast, efficient, and low-cost dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ RP2040 microcontroller chip running at up to 133 MHz and sporting 264 KB of SRAM, and 2 MB of Flash memory. Besides its large memory, the Pico has even more attractive features including a vast number of GPIO pins, and popular interface modules like ADC, SPI, I²C, UART, and PWM. To cap it all, the chip offers fast and accurate timing modules, a hardware debug interface, and an internal temperature sensor. The Raspberry Pi Pico is easily programmed using popular high-level languages such as MicroPython and or C/C++. This book is an introduction to using the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller in conjunction with the MicroPython programming language. The Thonny development environment (IDE) is used in all the projects described. There are over 50 working and tested projects in the book, covering the following topics: Installing the MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico using a Raspberry Pi or a PC Timer interrupts and external interrupts Analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) projects Using the internal temperature sensor and external temperature sensor chips Datalogging projects PWM, UART, I²C, and SPI projects Using Wi-Fi and apps to communicate with smartphones Using Bluetooth and apps to communicate with smartphones Digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) projects All projects given in the book have been fully tested and are working. Only basic programming and electronics experience is required to follow the projects. Brief descriptions, block diagrams, detailed circuit diagrams, and full MicroPython program listings are given for all projects described. Readers can find the program listings on the Elektor web page created to support the book.

No-Code KI für Maker und Entwickler Dieses Buch nimmt Heraklits Leitsatz "Panta rhei – alles fließt" als Ausgangspunkt, um den Wandel und die Dynamik moderner Lebens- und Arbeitswelten zu beleuchten. Arbeitsabläufe – sogenannte Workflows – durchziehen sowohl das private als auch das geschäftliche Umfeld. Sie entstehen aus dem Zusammenspiel einzelner, oft banaler Handlungen, die in eine sinnvolle Reihenfolge gebracht werden. Diese Abläufe lassen sich manuell ausführen, doch durch Automatisierung und digitale Hilfsmittel werden sie deutlich effizienter und belastbarer. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf dem Einsatz Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI), die sich mit rasanter Geschwindigkeit in immer mehr Lebensbereiche integriert. Ob automatische Übersetzungen, persönliche Assistenzen oder intelligente Infrastrukturen – KI-Systeme wie ChatGPT oder DeepSeek bieten vielfältige Möglichkeiten zur Prozessvereinfachung. Im privaten Bereich sind smarte Häuser ein Beispiel, im geschäftlichen Umfeld sind es komplexe Reaktionsketten auf bestimmte Situationen, bei denen KI gezielt eingesetzt wird. Für die praktische Umsetzung solcher Prozesse bietet das Buch eine Einführung in das Low-Code-Tool n8n, das es ermöglicht, auch komplexe Workflows ohne klassische Programmierung zu gestalten. Mit über 500 fertigen Integrationen verbindet n8n verschiedenste Anwendungen miteinander und kann durch KI-Module ergänzt werden. Das Buch zeigt auf leicht verständliche Weise, wie sich solche Systeme sowohl im Alltag als auch in Unternehmen nutzen lassen – für mehr Effizienz, Struktur und technologische Souveränität. Alle Linux-Befehle und Dateieinträge zur Konfiguration von Anwendungen stehen für Sie als Download bereit. Downloads GitHub

20+ Macintosh Models, from 1984 to Today (History, Engineering, and Restoration) Apple is not like any other company. More than anyone else, it transformed technology into something people could desire, love, and even identify with—much like a luxury brand. Users were not only buying a tool; they were buying a vision, a way of life. At the center of this transformation stands the Macintosh. First introduced in 1984, it was radically different from everything before. With its graphical interface and mouse, it made computing approachable, even friendly. What now feels obvious—clicking on icons, dragging files, pointing instead of typing commands—was revolutionary at the time. The Macintosh not only changed the way people related to technology. The Macintosh forced the entire industry to rethink the way we use computers. This book tells that story through some of the most significant Macintosh models. Each one is presented not only in words but also in images, because these computers are more than technology—they are design icons, symbols of a unique vision. History, technical detail, and photography come together here, aiming to show each Macintosh as it truly deserves to be seen.

Modular and Scalable Control Systems Using Structured Text This book offers a structured and practical approach to modern PLC development using object-oriented principles. It is a guide for engineers, programmers, and students seeking to harness the power of object-oriented programming (OOP) in the context of industrial automation with PLCs. The content focuses on the CODESYS development environment and Structured Text (ST), both of which support modern programming techniques while maintaining compatibility with real-time automation requirements. Through step-by-step demos and instructional examples, it demonstrates how modular, reusable code can enhance development efficiency, simplify ongoing maintenance, and enable scalable and flexible control system architectures. Key topics include: Structured Text fundamentals: conditions, loops, arrays, and functions Object-oriented concepts: classes, methods, and inheritance Advanced techniques: polymorphism, interfaces, and access control Modular design with reusable components and structured program flow Implementation of finite state machines and scalable application design Built around instructional demos and clear explanations, this book helps readers develop maintainable and modern control software in the CODESYS environment using proven programming techniques.

In dit boek gebruiken we JAL (Just Another Language) om de PIC-microcontroller te programmeren in 60 oefeningen. JAL is makkelijk in gebruik en is een goede basis om programmeren in andere talen snel te leren. Na het lezen en toepassen van de voorbeelden in dit boek kan iedereen die zich hierin serieus heeft verdiept met behulp van JAL zelf de microcontroller aansturen. Je leert onder meer het programmeren van timers, analoog/digitaal omzetters, comparators, pulsbreedte regeling voor motoren en geluid, LED- en LCD-scherm aansturing, USB-connectie en communicatiemogelijkheden met computers of andere microcontrollers. Ook weet je aan het eind van het boek wat je moet doen om nu nog onbekende mogelijkheden te gaan toepassen. Met deze kennis kan iedereen van beginner tot meer gevorderde zijn creativiteit vorm geven in projecten met microcontrollers. Wil je verder met leren programmeren dan legt dit boek ook een zeer goede basis. Wie goed met JAL overweg kan en zich de gestructureerde wijze van denken heeft aangeleerd, zal de stap naar andere programmeertalen zoals Python, C++ enz. kunnen maken. Ook het programmeren van minicomputers zoals de Raspberry Pi en Arduino zijn mogelijkheden. Om te starten is geen kennis van elektronica nodig. Wie niets weet van elektronica, krijgt overal in het boek de noodzakelijke kennis aangereikt. Alle belangrijke en benodigde informatie staat in de tekst.
