Wie enigszins bekend is met moderne microprocessor systemen als Arduino, kent ongetwijfeld ook de problemen met dit soort kaarten. Ze zijn te duur om voor elk project een aparte kaart aan te schaffen en zijn bovendien nogal fors van formaat. Het aardige van de ATtiny is dat de schijn bedriegt. Het lijkt een klein IC met een beperkt toepassingsgebied, maar het heeft een verbazingwekkend scala aan (speelse) mogelijkheden. Dit boek beschrijft de enorme veelzijdigheid van de ATtiny microcontroller aan de hand van ongeveer vijftig leuke elektronica projecten, speciaal gericht op de beginner.  De meeste ontwerpen zijn volledig uitgewerkt, enkele zijn meer als ontwerpidee gepresenteerd. De inhoudsopgave laat zien dat we ons op vele terreinen zullen begeven, van zonnevolger tot helling indicator. Dit boek is beslist geen theorieboek. Het is een boek dat gelezen zal worden met de soldeerbout in de hand. Voor het programmeren van de ATtiny maken we dankbaar gebruik van een Arduino kaart. Als de Arduino ingesteld word als programmer, kunnen we er de meeste Arduino “sketches” mee overzetten naar de ATtiny. We wensen u veel plezier met het nabouwen van de schakelingen.

LoRaWAN, Sigfox, NB-IoT & LTE-M Compared The Internet of Things depends on a critical question. How do you connect devices that must operate for years on tiny batteries, often miles from the nearest power outlet? This Elektor Technical Brief provides a practical guide to the technologies that have become the backbone of long-range, low-power IoT connectivity. Compiled by the Elektor Content Team, this concise technical brief examines the real engineering tradeoffs behind today’s leading Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) technologies: LoRaWAN, Sigfox, NB-IoT, and LTE-M. By referencing a wide range of Elektor articles and other online content, this document explains why link budget, noise, bandwidth, and power consumption ultimately determine system performance. From there, it explores the architectures, strengths, limitations, and deployment realities of each major LPWAN technology, helping you understand not just how they work, but when and why to use them. Whether you’re designing smart meters, industrial sensors, agricultural monitoring systems, asset trackers, or connected infrastructure, this guide provides the insights needed to make informed connectivity decisions. Along the way, you’ll discover: Why LPWAN technologies emerged and where they fit in the IoT landscape The RF fundamentals that drive range, reliability, and battery life Details about LoRaWAN, Sigfox, NB-IoT, and LTE-M Practical comparisons of power, coverage, latency, cost, and deployment models Guidance for selecting the right LPWAN technology for your application Emerging trends shaping the future of long-range IoT connectivity Clear, accessible, and grounded in real engineering practice, this Technical Brief helps you move beyond specifications and marketing claims to understand what matters most. If you’re building connected products that need to survive in the field — not just in the lab — this is the LPWAN guide you’ll want at your side.

Meten is voor een praktiserend elektronicus even vanzelfsprekend als ademhalen. Of het nu om het ontwikkelen van nieuwe schakelingen gaat, de controle van elektronische apparaten tijdens de productiefase of om het foutzoeken in defecte apparatuur: meetapparaten zijn het belangrijkste gereedschap en worden voortdurend gebruikt. 'Weet wat je meet', luidt een bekende uitspraak. En zo is het maar net: om zichzelf geen rad voor ogen te draaien moet de elektronicus weten wat hij doet, moet hij de nauwkeurigheid van zijn meetapparatuur en vooral de voor- en nadelen van de toegepaste meetmethode kennen. En hier steekt dit boek de lezer de helpende hand toe: uitgaand van theoretische beschouwingen en definities van de belangrijkste begrippen van de meettechniek begeleidt het de lezer bij de reis van eenvoudige wijzerinstrumenten via multimeter en oscilloscoop tot en met FFT-analyzers en gespecialiseerde meetapparaten zoals audio-analyzers, geluidsdrukmeters, apparaat- en installatietesters.

Mit Arduino – Schaltungsprojekte für Profis wird der Leser umfassend in die Hardware und Software der Arduino-Plattform eingeführt. Einfache, leicht verständliche Projekte am Anfang des Buches führen Schritt für Schritt in die Open-Source-Plattform ein. Die Projekte werden dann zunehmend komplexer, um dem Leser möglichst viele konkrete Lösungsmöglichkeiten aufzuzeigen, die mit dem Arduino-Mikrocontroller auch für angehende Profis zur Verfügung stehen. Dabei wird neben den erforderlichen theoretischen Grundlagen stets größter Wert auf eine praxisorientierte Ausrichtung gelegt. So werden wichtige Techniken wie AD-Wandlung, Timer oder Interrupts stets in Praxisprojekte eingebettet. Es entstehen Lauflichteffekte, ein Aufwachlicht, voll funktionsfähige Voltmeter, präzise Digitalthermometer, Uhren in allen Variationen, Reaktionszeitmesser oder mausgesteuerte Roboterarme. Und ganz nebenbei hat der Leser die Grundlagen der zugehörigen Controller-Technik verstanden und im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes begriffen.

From SRPP and Mu-Follower to OTL Designs Tube amplifiers suffer from distortion. Fortunately, circuits such as the SRPP amplifier, mu-follower, and beta-follower produce minimal distortion even at output voltages of 50 to 100 Vpeak. These designs are often published with errors. Without a sound understanding of the theory, it is easy to arrive at a flawed design. In the first section of this book, we investigate the origin of distortion, while in the second we investigate the design of and SRPP and a mu-follower. On the internet we can find the most exotic designs. Evaluating them teaches us that these designs often make matters worse rather than better. In the chapter on incorrect SRPPs and mu-followers, we sometimes see bizarre and misguided designs where using a simple single-triode amplifier would perform much better. Push-pull output stages also exist. A great number of them are examined, and their similarity to the SRPP is discussed. This is done especially with the help of the theory behind the OTL based on the ‘mother’ of all OTLs, the Philips HF303. Finally, attention is given to frequency characteristics and technical matters such as the supply voltage and the filament power supply. To illustrate these points, there are a few designs covering the subjects discussed. This book presents much new theory that has not been published before. It is often an eye-opener, showing that many things have a beautiful and unexpected simplicity.

1-Wire ist die Bezeichnung für eine serielle Schnittstelle, die mit nur einer Datenader auskommt. Es ist ein Master-Multi-Slave-Kommunikationsprotokoll. Verfügbar sind integrierte Bausteine zur Temperaturmessung, Akkuüberwachung, Echtzeituhr und beispielsweise Hotelschließanlagen. Eine Besonderheit von 1-Wire-Geräten ist die Spannungsversorgung aus der Gegenstation, hierbei erfolgt die Versorgung der Slaves über die Datenleitung. Der Leser erhält mit „Das 1-Wire-Praxisbuch“ eine umfassende Einführung in die 1-Wire-Technologie. Das Buch zeigt anhand praktischer Projekte zum Nachbauen, wie man verschiedene verfügbare 1-Wire-Chips in eigene Mikrocontroller-gesteuerte Anwendungen integrieren kann, und zwar mit Assembler-Software-Implementierungen für PIC-Mikrocontroller und mit Sketches für den Arduino. Die 1-Wire-Technik kommt in dem Buch praxisnah bei einem elektronischen Schloss zum Einsatz, das von einem PIC-Mikrocontroller gesteuert wird. Ein weiteres Praxisprojekt erläutert Schritt für Schritt, wie beispielsweise eine ständige Temperaturmessung mit 1-Wire-Bausteinen möglich ist.

Ready-to-use devices and self-built Arduino nodes in the 'The Things Network' LoRaWAN has developed excellently as a communication solution in the IoT. The Things Network (TTN) has contributed to this. The Things Network was upgraded to The Things Stack Community Edition (TTS (CE)). The TTN V2 clusters were closed towards the end of 2021. This book shows you the necessary steps to operate LoRaWAN nodes using TTS (CE) and maybe extend the network of gateways with an own gateway. Meanwhile, there are even LoRaWAN gateways suitable for mobile use with which you can connect to the TTN server via your cell phone. The author presents several commercial LoRaWAN nodes and new, low-cost and battery-powered hardware for building autonomous LoRaWAN nodes. Registering LoRaWAN nodes and gateways in the TTS (CE), providing the collected data via MQTT and visualization via Node-RED, Cayenne, Thingspeak, and Datacake enable complex IoT projects and completely new applications at very low cost. This book will enable you to provide and visualize data collected with battery-powered sensors (LoRaWAN nodes) wirelessly on the Internet. You will learn the basics for smart city and IoT applications that enable, for example, the measurement of air quality, water levels, snow depths, the determination of free parking spaces (smart parking), and the intelligent control of street lighting (smart lighting), among others.
