Mehr als 50 Grundlagenprojekte mit MicroPython und dem RP2040-Mikrocontroller Der Raspberry Pi Pico ist eine leistungsstarke Mikrocontroller-Platine, die speziell für das Physical Computing – also hardwarenahe Anwendungen – entwickelt wurde. Der Raspberry Pi Pico kann so programmiert werden, dass er eine einzelne Aufgabe sehr effizient ausführt und ermöglicht so schnelle Steuerungs- und Überwachungsanwendungen in Echtzeit. Der 'Pico', wie wir ihn nennen, basiert auf dem schnellen, effizienten und kostengünstigen Dual-Core ARM Cortex-M0+ RP2040 Mikrocontroller-Chip, der mit bis zu 133 MHz läuft und über 264 KB SRAM und 2 MB Flash-Speicher verfügt. Neben dem großen Speicher hat der Pico noch weitere attraktive Eigenschaften, darunter eine große Anzahl von GPIO-Pins sowie gängige Schnittstellen wie ADC, SPI, I²C, UART und PWM. Als Krönung bietet der Chip schnelle und genaue Timer, eine Hardware-Debug-Schnittstelle und einen internen Temperatursensor. Zur Programmierung lassen sich leicht die gängigen Hochsprachen wie MicroPython oder C/C++ verwenden. Dieses Buch ist eine Einführung in die Verwendung des Pico mit der Programmiersprache MicroPython. In allen Projekten wird die Thonny-Entwicklungsumgebung (IDE) eingesetzt. Über 50 Projekte decken folgende Themen ab: Installation von MicroPython auf dem Raspberry Pi Pico Timer-Interrupts und externe Interrupts Projekte mit Analog-Digital-Wandler (ADC) Verwendung des internen sowie externer Temperatursensoren Datenlogger Projekte zur PWM, UART, I²C-Bus und SPI-Bus Wi-Fi und Bluetooth für die Kommunikation mit Smartphones Projekte mit dem Digital-Analog-Wandler (DAC) Alle in diesem Buch vorgestellten Projekte wurden vollständig getestet und sind funktionsfähig. Es werden keine Programmier- oder Elektronikkenntnisse vorausgesetzt, um sie nachzuvollziehen. Für alle beschriebenen Projekte gibt es kurze Beschreibungen, Blockdiagramme, detaillierte Schaltpläne und vollständige MicroPython-Programmlistings. Die Listings sind auch auf der zum Buch gehörenden Elektor-Webseite zu finden.

The Arduino Pro Mini is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, an on-board resonator, a reset button, and holes for mounting pin headers. A six pin header can be connected to an FTDI cable or SparkFun breakout board to provide USB power and communication to the board. The Arduino Pro Mini is intended for semi-permanent installation in objects or exhibitions. The board comes without pre-mounted headers, allowing the use of various types of connectors or direct soldering of wires. The pin layout is compatible with the Arduino Mini. The Arduino Pro Mini was designed and is manufactured by SparkFun Electronics.

A Beginner's Guide to AI and Edge Computing Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now part of our daily lives. With companies developing low-cost AI-powered hardware into their products, it is now becoming a reality to purchase AI accelerator hardware at comparatively very low costs. One such hardware accelerator is the Hailo module which is fully compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5. The Raspberry Pi AI Kit is a cleverly designed hardware as it bundles an M.2-based Hailo-8L accelerator with the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ to offer high speed inferencing on the Raspberry Pi 5. Using the Raspberry Pi AI Kit, you can build complex AI-based vision applications, running in real-time, such as object detection, pose estimation, instance segmentation, home automation, security, robotics, and many more neural network-based applications. This book is an introduction to the Raspberry Pi AI Kit, and it is aimed to provide some help to readers who are new to the kit and wanting to run some simple AI-based visual models on their Raspberry Pi 5 computers. The book is not meant to cover the detailed process of model creation and compilation, which is done on an Ubuntu computer with massive disk space and 32 GB memory. Examples of pre-trained and custom object detection are given in the book. Two fully tested and working projects are given in the book. The first project explains how a person can be detected and how an LED can be activated after the detection, and how the detection can be acknowledged by pressing an external button. The second project illustrates how a person can be detected, and how this information can be passed to a smart phone over a Wi-Fi link, as well as how the detection can be acknowledged by sending a message from the smartphone to your Raspberry Pi 5.

TurtleBot3 is the most affordable robot among the SLAM-able mobile robots equipped with a 360° Laser Distance Sensor LDS-01. ROS Standard The TurtleBot brand is managed by Open Robotics, which develops and maintains ROS. Nowadays, ROS has become the go-to platform for all the roboticists around the world. TurtleBot can be integrated with existing ROS-based robot components, but TurtleBot3 can be an affordable platform for whom want to get started learning ROS. Extensibility TurtleBot3 encourages users to customize its mechanical structure with some alternative options: open source embedded board (as a control board), computer and sensors. TurtleBot3 Waffle Pi is a two-wheeled differential drive type platform but it is able to be structurally and mechanically customized in many ways: Cars, Bikes, Trailers and so on. Extend your ideas beyond imagination with various SBC, sensors and motors on a scalable structure. Modular Actuator for Mobile Robot TurtleBot3 is able to get a precise spatial data by using 2 DYNAMIXEL’s in the wheel joints. DYNAMIXEL XM series can be operated by one of 6 operating modes (XL series: 4 operating modes): Velocity control mode for wheels, Torque control mode or Position control mode for joint, etc. DYNAMIXEL can be used even to make a mobile manipulator which is light but can be precisely controlled with velocity, torque and position control. DYNAMIXEL is a core component that makes TurtleBot3 perfect. It is easy to assemble, maintain, replace and reconfigure. Open Control Board for ROS The control board is open-sourced in hardware wise and in software wise for ROS communication. The open source control board OpenCR1.0 is powerful enough to control not only DYNAMIXEL’s but also ROBOTIS sensors that are frequently being used for basic recognition tasks in cost effective way. Various sensors such as Touch sensor, Infrared sensor, Color sensor and a handful more are available. The OpenCR1.0 has an IMU sensor inside the board so that it can enhance precise control for countless applications. The board has 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V power supplies to reinforce the available computer device lineups. Open Source The hardware, firmware and software of TurtleBot3 are open source which means that users are welcomed to download, modify and share source codes.

For Raspberry Pi, ESP32 and nRF52 with Python, Arduino and Zephyr Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio chips are ubiquitous from Raspberry Pi to light bulbs. BLE is an elaborate technology with a comprehensive specification, but the basics are quite accessible. A progressive and systematic approach will lead you far in mastering this wireless communication technique, which is essential for working in low power scenarios. In this book, you’ll learn how to: Discover BLE devices in the neighborhood by listening to their advertisements. Create your own BLE devices advertising data. Connect to BLE devices such as heart rate monitors and proximity reporters. Create secure connections to BLE devices with encryption and authentication. Understand BLE service and profile specifications and implement them. Reverse engineer a BLE device with a proprietary implementation and control it with your own software. Make your BLE devices use as little power as possible. This book shows you the ropes of BLE programming with Python and the Bleak library on a Raspberry Pi or PC, with C++ and NimBLE-Arduino on Espressif’s ESP32 development boards, and with C on one of the development boards supported by the Zephyr real-time operating system, such as Nordic Semiconductor's nRF52 boards. Starting with a very little amount of theory, you’ll develop code right from the beginning. After you’ve completed this book, you’ll know enough to create your own BLE applications.
