Learn programming for Alexa devices, extend it to smart home devices and control the Raspberry Pi The book is split into two parts: the first part covers creating Alexa skills and the second part, designing Internet of Things and Smart Home devices using a Raspberry Pi. The first chapters describe the process of Alexa communication, opening an Amazon account and creating a skill for free. The operation of an Alexa skill and terminology such as utterances, intents, slots, and conversations are explained. Debugging your code, saving user data between sessions, S3 data storage and Dynamo DB database are discussed. In-skill purchasing, enabling users to buy items for your skill as well as certification and publication is outlined. Creating skills using AWS Lambda and ASK CLI is covered, along with the Visual Studio code editor and local debugging. Also covered is the process of designing skills for visual displays and interactive touch designs using Alexa Presentation Language. The second half of the book starts by creating a Raspberry Pi IoT 'thing' to control a robot from your Alexa device. This covers security issues and methods of sending and receiving MQTT messages between an Alexa device and the Raspberry Pi. Creating a smart home device is described including forming a security profile, linking with Amazon, and writing a Lambda function that gets triggered by an Alexa skill. Device discovery and on/off control is demonstrated. Next, readers discover how to control a smart home Raspberry Pi display from an Alexa skill using Simple Queue Service (SQS) messaging to switch the display on and off or change the color. A node-RED design is discussed from the basic user interface right up to configuring MQTT nodes. MQTT messages sent from a user are displayed on a Raspberry Pi. A chapter discusses sending a proactive notification such as a weather alert from a Raspberry Pi to an Alexa device. The book concludes by explaining how to create Raspberry Pi as a stand-alone Alexa device.

An Introduction to Real and Reduced-Scale Autonomous Vehicles Want to cut through the hype and get to the core of autonomous and connected vehicles? Then this book is your clear, accessible guide to a complex and fast-moving field. Starting with Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), it walks you through the essential foundations, including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) – the stepping stones to full autonomy. Explore how self-driving cars mimic human behavior through a loop of perception, analysis, decision, and action. Discover the key functions that make it possible: localization, obstacle detection, driver monitoring, cooperative awareness – and the most challenging of all, trajectory planning, across strategic, tactical, and operational levels. Will vehicles be connected? The debate is on – but the standards are already here. Learn how connectivity, infrastructure, and vehicles can work in synergy through the innovative concept of floating car data (FCD). Dive into real-world implementation: with embedded electronics account-ing for over 30% of a modern vehicle‘s cost, we unpack the architecture, coordination, and tools required to manage the complexity – brought to life with a hands-on case study. To finish, we open the door to the future: building your own 1:10 scale autonomous vehicle. No plug-and-play solutions – just the foundations for a collaborative, creative, and geek-friendly challenge. Let’s drive the future together.

Develop your own custom home automation devices Espressif's ESP8266 and ESP32 microcontrollers have brought DIY home automation to the masses. However, not everyone is fluent in programming these microcontrollers with Espressif's C/C++ SDK, the Arduino core, or MicroPython. This is where ESPHome comes into its own: with this project, you don’t program your microcontroller but configure it. This book demonstrates how to create your own home automation devices with ESPHome on an ESP32 microcontroller board. You’ll learn how to combine all kinds of electronic components and automate complex behaviours. Your devices can work completely autonomously, and connect over Wi-Fi to your home automation gateways such as Home Assistant or MQTT broker. By the end of this book, you will be able to create your own custom home automation devices the way you want. Thanks to ESPHome and the ESP32, this is within everyone’s grasp. Set up an ESPHome development environment and create maintainable configurations Use buttons and LEDs Sound a buzzer and play melodies Read measurements from various types of sensors Communicate over a short distance with NFC, infrared light, and Bluetooth Low Energy Show information on various types of displays Downloads Software

Eine Einführung in die Schaltungssimulation LTspice wurde von Mike Engelhardt entwickelt und gehört inzwischen zu Analog Devices. Es handelt sich dabei um ein Programm zur Schaltplanerstellung – einen leistungsstarken, schnellen und kostenlosen SPICE-Simulator sowie um ein Werkzeug zur Darstellung von Kurvenverläufen. Es bietet eine umfangreiche Bauteildatenbank, die weltweit durch SPICE-Modelle unterstützt wird. Mit LTspice kann man schnell und einfach Schaltpläne erstellen. Dank der leistungsfähigen grafischen Ausgabefunktionen lassen sich Spannungen und Ströme in einer Schaltung, die Leistungsaufnahme der Bauteile und viele weitere Parameter darstellen. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, den Entwurf und die Simulation elektronischer Schaltungen mit LTspice zu vermitteln. Es behandelt unter anderem folgende Themen: DC und AC-Schaltungen Kleinsignal- und Z-Dioden Transistorschaltungen inkl. Oszillatoren Tryristor-, Diac- und Triacschaltungen Operationsverstärkerschaltungen inkl. Oszillatoren Der 555 Timer-IC Filter Spannungsregler Optokoppler Erstellung von Spannungskurven Simulation von Logikschaltungen mit der 74HC-Familie SPICE-Modellierung LTspice ist ein äußerst vielseitiges Werkzeug zur Simulation elektronischer Schaltungen mit zahlreichen Funktionen und Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Eine vollständige Behandlung aller Details würde jedoch den Rahmen dieses Buches sprengen. Daher konzentriert sich das Buch auf die gängigsten Themen wie DC- und AC-Analyse, Parametersweep, Übertragungsfunktionen, Oszillatoren, Diagramme und weitere grundlegende Anwendungen. Obwohl es sich um eine Einführung handelt, deckt dieses Buch dennoch die meisten Interessensgebiete all jener ab, die sich mit der Simulation elektronischer Schaltungen beschäftigen.

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.
