Build Your Own Vintage Radio Broadcaster The Elektor AM Transmitter Kit allows streaming audio to vintage AM radio receivers. Based on a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller module, the AM Transmitter can transmit on 32 frequencies in the AM band, from 500 kHz up to 1.6 MHz in 32 steps of approx. 35 kHz. The frequency is selected with a potentiometer and shown on a 0.96" OLED display. A pushbutton allows toggles the transmitting mode between On and Off. The range of the transmitter depends on the antenna. The onboard antenna provides a range of a few centimeters, requiring the AM Transmitter to be placed close to or inside the radio. An external loop antenna (not included) can be connected to increase the range. The Elektor AM Transmitter Kit comes as a kit of parts that you must solder to the board yourself. Features The board is compatible with a Hammond 1593N enclosure (not included).A 5 VDC power supply with micro-USB connector (e.g., an old phone charger) is needed to power the kit (not included). Current consumption is 100 mA. The Arduino software (requiring Earle Philhower’s RP2040 Boards Package) for the Elektor AM Transmitter Kit plus more information is available at the Elektor Labs page of this project.

Het boek “Sensoren aan de Raspberry Pi” richt zich tot iedereen die zich wil verdiepen in een Raspberry Pi in combinatie met Windows 10 IoT Core. Dit besturingssysteem biedt samen met een RPi weliswaar veel rekenkracht, maar voor de communicatie met de buitenwereld zijn nog externe modules en sensoren nodig. Daartoe wordt in dit boek gebruik gemaakt van een sensor-kit met 35 modules die nog geen 60 euro kost. Auteur Florian Schäffer begint zijn boek met de introductie van de Raspberry Pi en hij beschrijft welke hardware u nodig hebt om met de RPi te kunnen werken. Dan volgt een eerste kennismaking met Windows 10 IoT Core. Daarna wordt dieper ingegaan op het gebruik van Visual Studio 2015 en worden de eerste programmeervoorbeelden beschreven. Ook wordt uitgelegd hoe een MySQL-databank kan worden aangestuurd via een app en hoe de als webserver kan worden ingezet. In het tweede deel worden de sensoren stuk voor stuk beschreven met hun eigenschappen en worden er veel toepassingsvoorbeelden gegeven. De source-codes van de programma’s zijn als download bij het boek beschikbaar. Tot slot wordt nog aandacht besteed aan het gebruik van druktoetsen en schakelaars, en het werken met digitale uitgangen en analoge ingangen.

ModbusRTU and ModbusTCP examples with the Arduino Uno and ESP8266 Introduction to PLC programming with OpenPLC, the first fully open source Programmable Logic Controller on the Raspberry Pi, and Modbus examples with Arduino Uno and ESP8266 PLC programming is very common in industry and home automation. This book describes how the Raspberry Pi 4 can be used as a Programmable Logic Controller. Before taking you into the programming, the author starts with the software installation on the Raspberry Pi and the PLC editor on the PC, followed by a description of the hardware. You'll then find interesting examples in the different programming languages complying with the IEC 61131-3 standard. This manual also explains in detail how to use the PLC editor and how to load and execute the programs on the Raspberry Pi. All IEC languages are explained with examples, starting with LD (Ladder Diagram) over ST (Structured Control Language) to SFC (Special Function Chart). All examples can be downloaded from the author's website. Networking gets thorough attention too. The Arduino Uno and the ESP8266 are programmed as ModbusRTU or ModbusTCP modules to get access to external peripherals, reading sensors and switching electrical loads. I/O circuits complying with the 24 V industry standard may also be of interest for the reader. The book ends with an overview of commands for ST and LD. After reading the book, the reader will be able to create his own controllers with the Raspberry Pi.
