Pfiffige Projekte zum Messen, Steuern und Regeln Der Raspberry Pi dominiert seit vielen Jahren die Maker-Szene. Frei verfügbare I/O-Pins machten ihn zu einem der beliebtesten Prozessorboards aller Zeiten. Allerdings verfügt der klassische Raspberry Pi über keinerlei Analogeingänge. Eine direkte Messung analoger Werte ist damit nicht möglich. So können weder Photodioden noch NTCs oder Hallsensoren etc. unmittelbar ausgelesen werden. Zudem sind die Pins direkt, d. h. ohne Treiber oder Schutzschaltung, mit den freiliegenden Kontakten verbunden. Dadurch kann der zentrale Controller und damit der gesamte Raspberry Pi schnell zerstört werden. Mit dem Pico können diese Probleme elegant gelöst werden. Er kann als sogenanntes „Frontend“ problemlos vielfältige Messaufgaben übernehmen. Zudem ist der Pico deutlich preisgünstiger als ein klassischer Raspberry Pi 4. Falls eine Fehlbeschaltung zur Zerstörung des Pico führt, ist dies vor allem für nicht-professionelle Anwender relativ leicht zu verkraften. Der klassische Raspberry Pi und der Pico werden so zum idealen Duo. Das Buch führt entsprechend in das weite und hochaktuelle Gebiet der modernen Controllertechnik anhand der beiden Boards „Raspberry Pi 4“ und „Raspberry Pi Pico“ ein. Neben einer tiefergehenden Einführung in die Arbeits- und Funktionsweise der Controllerboards selbst wird insbesondere auch auf die Messwerterfassung und -verarbeitung mit digitalen Prozessoren eingegangen. Insbesondere die Kombination beider Systeme bietet vielfältige und hochinteressante Möglichkeiten. Praktische Projekte aus dem Inhalt: USB-Verbindung zwischen Raspberry Pi 4 und Pico I²C-Kommunikation und Pico als I²C-Device Voltmeter und Computerthermometer Pico W als Web-Server und WLAN-Scanner Frequenzmesser und -generatoren OLED-Displays an Pico und Raspberry Pi 4 Energiesparmonitor Welche Astronauten sind im Orbit?

If you have the right tools, designing a microprocessor shouldn’t be complicated. The Verilog hardware description language (HDL) is one such tool. It can enable you to depict, simulate, and synthesize an electronic design, and thus increase your productivity by reducing the overall workload associated with a given project.Monte Dalrymple’s Microprocessor Design Using Verilog HDL is a practical guide to processor design in the real world. It presents the Verilog HDL in a straightforward fashion and serves as a detailed introduction to reducing the computer architecture and as an instruction set to practice. You’re led through the microprocessor design process from start to finish, and essential topics ranging from writing in Verilog to debugging and testing are laid bare.The book details the following, and more: Verilog HDL Review: data types, bit widths/labeling, operations, statements, and design hierarchy Verilog Coding Style: files vs. modules, indentation, and design organization Design Work: instruction set architecture, external bus interface, and machine cycle Microarchitecture: design spreadsheet and essential worksheets (e.g., Operation, Instruction Code, and Next State) Writing in Verilog: choosing encoding, assigning states in a state machine, and files (e.g., defines.v, hierarchy.v, machine.v) Debugging, Verification, and Testing: debugging requirements, verification requirements, testing requirements, and the test bench Post Simulation: enhancements and reduction to practice Monte Dalrymple received a BSEE (with highest honors) and an MSEE from the University of California at Berkeley, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Monte started his career at Zilog, where he designed a number of successful products, including the Serial Communication Controller (SCC) family and the Universal Serial Controller (USC) family. He was also the architect and lead designer of the Z380 microprocessor. Monte started his own company, Systemyde International Corp., in 1995, and has been doing contract design work ever since. He designed all five generations of Rabbit microprocessors, a Z180 clone that is flying on the Juno mission to Jupiter, and a Z8000 clone that flies in a commercial avionics air data computer. Monte holds 16 patents as well as both amateur and commercial radio licenses. Monte wrote 10 articles for Circuit Cellar magazine between 1996 and 2010. He recently completed a side project to replace the CPU in an HP-41C calculator with a modern FPGA-based version.

Einführung und praxisorientierte Grundlagen Die Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit (EMV) hat einen zwiespältigen Ruf: Einerseits gilt sie als langweilig, manchmal als teures, wenn nicht gar unnötiges Übel, andererseits wird sie auch mystisch verklärt – als „Hightech-Voodoo“. In diesem Buch wird der Versuch unternommen, der EMV den Schrecken zu nehmen – durch methodisches Arbeiten und das richtige Verständnis der elektrotechnischen Grundlagen. Elektromagnetische Beeinflussungen unterliegen zwar stochastischen Prozessen, der Erfolg ist aber kein Zufall, sondern der Lohn systematischer Arbeit. EMV ist eine Frage der Produktqualität! Dieses Buch bietet einen Einstieg in das Thema EMV. Es stellt die oben genannten Zusammenhänge dar und gibt Elektronikentwicklern, Systemingenieuren sowie interessierten Hobbyelektronikern einen Überblick und ein Handbuch zum Thema EMV – natürlich, wie so oft, ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit. Die Idee zu diesem Buch entstand bei der Erstellung von Vorlesungsskripten. Viele Beispiele und Erfahrungen aus der jahrelangen Praxis sind in dieses Buch eingeflossen.
