Microcontrollers have become an indispensable part of modern electronics. They make things possible that vastly exceed what could be done previously. Innumerable applications show that almost nothing is impossible. There’s thus every reason to learn more about them, but that raises the question of where to find a good introduction to this fascinating technology. The answer is easy: this Microcontroller Basics book, combined with the 89S8252 Flash Board project published by Elektor Electronics. However, this book offers more than just a basic introduction. It clearly explains the technology using various microcontroller circuits and programs written in several different programming languages. Three microcontrollers from the 8051 family are used in the sample applications, ranging from the simple 89C2051 to the AN2131, which is designed to support USB applications. The programming tools include assemblers, Basic-52 and BASCOM-51, and several C compilers. Every reader can thus find the programming environment most suitable to his or her needs. In the course of the book, the reader gradually develops increased competence in converting his or her ideas into microcontroller circuitry. All of the sample programs can be downloaded from the Elektor Electronics website or the author’s website. That has the added advantage that the latest versions are always available.

From Simple Ciphers to Secure Systems Understanding how to apply cryptography on modern microcontrollers is essential for building secure, reliable, and trustworthy systems. This book explains cryptography in the context of embedded hardware, from classical ciphers that illustrate core principles to modern techniques such as AES for practical high-security applications. By combining mathematical theory with real-world microcontroller implementations, readers learn not only how cryptography works, but also how to implement it effectively on systems with limited processing power and memory. The book is intended for students starting out in cryptography, hobbyists securing personal projects, and engineers looking for a structured guide to embedded security. The book covers these key topics in applied cryptography: Classical ciphers on Arduino Uno and Raspberry Pi Pico, with full programs: Spartan Scytale, Hebrew Atbash, Caesar, ROT13, Alberti Disk, Vigenère, Affine, Polybius, Playfair, Beaufort, Ottoman Codebook, and One-Time Pad. Hacking classical ciphers using microcontrollers, with examples. Pseudo-random (PRNG) and true random number generation (TRNG) on microcontrollers. Symmetric-key cryptography with full programs: DES and AES-128/256. Memory and speed constraints of cryptography on microcontrollers.

Easy and Affordable Digital Signal ProcessingThe aim of this book is to teach the basic principles of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and to introduce it from a practical point of view using the bare minimum of mathematics. Only the basic level of discrete-time systems theory is given, sufficient to implement DSP applications in real time. The practical implementations are described in real time using the highly popular ESP32 DevKitC microcontroller development board. With the low cost and extremely popular ESP32 microcontroller, you should be able to design elementary DSP projects with sampling frequencies within the audio range. All programming is done using the popular Arduino IDE in conjunction with the C language compiler.After laying a solid foundation of DSP theory and pertinent discussions on the main DSP software tools on the market, the book presents the following audio-based sound and DSP projects: Using an I²S-based digital microphone to capture audio sound Using an I²S-based class-D audio amplifier and speaker Playing MP3 music stored on an SD card through an I²S-based amplifier and speaker Playing MP3 music files stored in ESP32 flash memory through an I²S-based amplifier and speaker Mono and stereo Internet radio with I²S-based amplifiers and speakers Text-to-speech output with an I²S-based amplifier and speaker Using the volume control in I²S-based amplifier and speaker systems A speaking event counter with an I²S-based amplifier and speaker An adjustable sinewave generator with I²S-based amplifier and speaker Using the Pmod I²S2 24-bit fast ADC/DAC module Digital low-pass and band-pass real-time FIR filter design with external and internal A/D and D/A conversion Digital low-pass and band-pass real-time IIR filter design with external and internal A/D and D/A conversion Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT)

This is the second edition of a book aimed at engineers, scientists, and hobbyists who want to interface PCs with hardware projects using graphical user interfaces. Desktop and web-based applications are covered. The programming language used is Python 3, which is one of the most popular languages around: speed of programming being a key feature. The book has been revised and updated with an emphasis on getting the user to produce practical designs with ease – a text editor is all that is required to produce Python programs. Hardware interfacing is achieved using an Arduino Uno as a remote slave. A full description and source code of the communication interface is given in the book. The slave provides digital and analog input and outputs. Multiple Unos can be included in one project with all control code written in Python and running on a PC One project involves a PIC microcontroller with the code provided that can be loaded into the PIC using the Uno.

Die Programmiersprache „Python“ hat in den letzten Jahren einen enormen Aufschwung erlebt. Nicht zuletzt haben verschiedene Einplatinensysteme wie der Raspberry Pi zu deren Bekanntheitsgrad beigetragen. Aber auch in anderen Gebieten, wie der Künstlichen Intelligenz oder dem Machine Learning, hat Python weite Verbreitung gefunden. Es ist daher naheliegend, Python bzw. die Variante „MicroPython“ auch für den Einsatz in SoCs (Systems on Chip) zu verwenden. Leistungsfähige Controller wie der ESP32 der Firma Espressif Systems bieten eine hervorragende Performance sowie Wi-Fi- und Bluetooth-Funktionalität zu einem günstigen Preis. Mit diesen Eigenschaften wurde die Maker-Szene im Sturm erobert. Im Vergleich zu anderen Controllern weist der ESP32 einen deutlich größeren Flash und SRAM-Speicher, sowie eine wesentlich höhere CPU-Geschwindigkeit auf. Aufgrund dieser Leistungsmerkmale eignet sich der Chip nicht nur für klassische C-Anwendungen, sondern insbesondere auch für die Programmierung mit MicroPython. Das vorliegende Buch führt in die Anwendung der modernen Ein-Chip-Systeme ein. Neben den technischen Hintergründen steht vor allem MicroPython selbst im Vordergrund. Nach der Einführung in die Sprache werden die erlernten Programmierkenntnisse umgehend in die Praxis umgesetzt. Die einzelnen Projekte sind sowohl für den Einsatz im Labor als auch für Alltagsanwendungen geeignet. Neben dem eigentlichen Lerneffekt steht also auch die Freude am Aufbau kompletter und nützlicher Geräte im Vordergrund. Durch die Verwendung von Laborsteckboards können Schaltungen aller Art mit geringem Aufwand realisiert werden, sodass das Austesten der selbstgebauten Geräte zum lehrreichen Vergnügen wird. Durch die verschiedenen Anwendungen wie Wetterstationen, Digitalvoltmeter, Ultraschall-Entfernungsmesser, RFID-Kartenleser oder Funktionsgeneratoren sind die vorgestellten Projekte auch für Praktika oder Fach- und Studienarbeiten in den Naturwissenschaften bzw. im Natur- und Technikunterricht bestens geeignet.
