In seinem leidenschaftlichen Plädoyer für die Nutzung von Sonnenenergie wendet sich der Autor an technisch nicht versierte Leser. Der Autor von Photovoltaik für Quereinsteiger hat drei klare Botschaften: Es ist ziemlich einfach, eine Photovoltaikanlage erfolgreich in Betrieb zu nehmen. Die notwendigen Kalkulationen dazu, ob sich eine Solaranlage lohnt, passen auf einen Bierdeckel. Elektrischer Strom kann mit Photovoltaik schon heute für 3,5 Eurocent pro Kilowattstunde erzeugt werden. Allerdings nur tagsüber und auch nicht überall auf der Welt (aber an sehr vielen Orten). Das Buch erklärt, wie man zu marktüblichen Preisen Anlagen bauen kann, die zu unschlagbaren Niedrigstpreisen Strom liefern können. Es wird erläutert, wie man Anlagen abhängig vom Standort kalkulieren muss. Dabei beleuchtet der Autor in leicht verständlichen Worten die physikalischen Grundlagen der Gewinnung von Energie durch Photovoltaik und erklärt, wie eine Solarzelle prinzipiell arbeitet. Die grundsätzlichen Bestandteile einer Photovoltaikanlage werden so erklärt, dass sie auch von Laien verstanden werden. Ausführlich geht der Autor auf die richtige Wahl von Batterien zur Speicherung des gewonnenen Stromes ein. Potentielle Fehler- und Gefahrenquellen beim Auf- und Ausbau finden ebenso Berücksichtigung. Das Buch richtet sich dabei an Privatpersonen und an Projektbetreiber, die Strom für den Eigenverbrauch erzeugen möchten.

Sound Secrets and Technology What would today’s rock and pop music be without electric lead and bass guitars? These instruments have been setting the tone for more than sixty years. Their underlying sound is determined largely by their electrical components. But, how do they actually work? Almost no one is able to explain this to the true musician with no technical background. This book answers many questions simply, in an easily-understandable manner. For the interested musician (and others), this book unveils, in a simple and well-grounded way, what have, until now, been regarded as manufacturer secrets. The examination explores deep within the guitar, including pickups and electrical environment, so that guitar electronics are no longer considered highly secret. With a few deft interventions, many instruments can be rendered more versatile and made to sound a lot better – in the most cost-effective manner. The author is an experienced electronics professional and active musician. He has thoroughly tested everything described here, in practice.

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.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new concept in intelligent automation and intelligent monitoring using the Internet as the communications medium. The “Things” in IoT usually refer to devices that have unique identifiers and are connected to the Internet to exchange information with each other. Such devices usually have sensors and/or actuators that can be used to collect data about their environments and to monitor and control their environments. The collected data can be processed locally or it can be sent to centralized servers or to the cloud for remote storage and processing. For example, a small device at the size of a matchbox can be used to collect data about the temperature, relative humidity and the atmospheric pressure. This data can be sent and stored in the cloud. Anyone with a mobile device can then access and monitor this data at any time and from anywhere on Earth provided there is Internet connectivity. In addition, users can for example, adjust the central heating remotely using their mobile devices and accessing the cloud. This book is written for students, for practising engineers and for hobbyists who want to learn more about the building blocks of an IoT system and also learn how to setup an IoT system using these blocks. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the IoT systems. In Chapter 2, the basic concepts and possible IoT architectures are discussed. The important parts of any IoT system are the sensors and actuators and they are described briefly in Chapter 3. The devices in an IoT system usually communicate with each other and the important aspect of IoT communication is covered in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 proceeds with the features of some of the commonly used development kits. One of these, the Clicker 2 for PIC18FJ manufactured by mikroElektronika, can be used as a processor in IoT systems and its features are described in detail in Chapter 6. A popular microcontroller C language, mikroC Pro for PIC gets introduced in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 covers the use of a click board with the Clicker 2 for PIC18FJ development kit. Similarly, the use of a sensor click board is described as a project in Chapter 9, and an actuator board in Chapter 10. Chapters 11 and 12 cover Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technologies in microcontroller based systems, and the remaining chapters of the book demo the creation of a simple Wi-Fi based IoT system with cloud-based data storage. This book has been written with the assumption that the reader has taken a course on digital logic design and has been exposed to writing programs using at least one high-level programming language. Knowledge of the C programming language will be very useful. Also, familiarity with at least one member of the PIC series of microcontrollers (e.g. PIC16 or PIC18) will be an advantage. The knowledge of assembly language programming is not required because all the projects in the book are based on using the C language. If you are a total beginner in programming you can still access the e-book, but first you are advised to study introductory books on microcontrollers.

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.
