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.

Der Autor zeigt in diesem Buch alle wichtigen Aspekte der Mikrocontroller-Programmierung, ohne den Leser mit unnötigen oder nebensächlichen Informationen zu überladen. Am Ende der Lektüre ist der Leser in der Lage, 8-Bit-Mikrocontroller zu verstehen und zu programmieren. Die Einführung in die Mikrocontroller-Programmierung dekliniert der Autor an Mikrocontrollern aus der PIC-Familie durch. Der PIC mit seinem 8-Bit-Design ist nicht auf dem modernsten technischen Stand, aber dafür einfach zu verstehen. Er wird in einem DIP-Gehäuse angeboten, ist überall erhältlich und nicht besonders komplex. Das gesamte Datenblatt des PICs ist um Dekaden kürzer als die Architekturbeschreibung, die den Prozessor eines fortgeschrittenen Mikrocontrollers beschreibt. Die Einfachheit hat ihre Vorteile. Wer versteht, wie ein Mikrocontroller grundlegend funktioniert, kann sich später in fortgeschrittene Softcores einarbeiten. Steht im ersten Teil des Buches Assembler als ausführende Programmiersprache im Vordergrund, so geht der Autor im zweiten Teil seines Buches vertiefend auf C ein. Quasi nebenbei entführt das Buch den Leser in die Tiefen der praktischen Arbeit mit Mikrocontrollern, erklärt interessante Messtechnik und zeigt Möglichkeiten zur Arbeitserleichterung und Fehlersuche.

From Rubbing Amber to Swiping Glass "The story of electricity, told one connection at a time."Why does rubbing amber attract dust? How did we go from that curious effect to a world where screens respond to a single touch? And how did we get from mysterious sparks to tiny chips packed with billions of transistors? For centuries, electricity puzzled and fascinated those who encountered its curious effects—long before it even had a name. From the earliest observations of static charge to the complex electronics that shape our lives today, this book traces the gradual, and often surprising, story of how humanity came to understand and harness this powerful force. This book offers an engaging and accessible account of the people, ideas, and inventions that transformed electricity from a scientific curiosity into the foundation of our digital age. Along the way, you’ll meet a host of inquisitive minds—some famous, others less so—whose persistence and creativity helped unravel the mysteries of the natural world and gave rise to the technologies we now take for granted. Covering everything from Leyden jars and batteries to transistors, microcontrollers and the internet, this book presents a clear and enjoyable overview of electronics and its relatively short, yet rich, history. Whether you have a technical background or simply a curiosity about how things work, From Rubbing Amber to Swiping Glass offers a thoughtful look at how far we’ve come—and a gentle nudge to wonder what might come next.

Retro Radio is een praktijkboek voor beginners en uitermate geschikt voor iedereen die wel eens een radio zou willen bouwen en meer wil weten over de radiotechniek. Na een inleiding in de beginselen van de techniek en de radio-ontvangst op de korte golf komen een aantal eenvoudige radio-ontwerpen aan bod. Het gaat om radio’s voor de middengolf en korte golf, waarbij de KG radio’s geschikt zijn voor de ontvangst van Single Side Band signalen. Het “retro” karakter dankt het boek aan het feit dat de gepubliceerde schakelingen klassiekers zijn uit de analoge radiotechniek. Ze zijn geïnspireerd door schakelingen uit de jaren ’50 en de begintijd van de radiotechniek. De auteur grijpt terug op de radio in zijn meest elementaire vorm. Al het “overbodige” is uit de schakelingen weggelaten. Er wordt gewerkt met spoelen, afstemcondensatoren, keramische filters en spoelfilters. Alle schakelingen zijn gebouwd met gewone transistors en een veldeffecttransistor. Elektronische chips worden niet gebruikt. Overigens is aan de nieuwste ontwikkelingen niet helemaal voorbij gegaan. Er is ook een SDR ontwerp opgenomen. Een greep uit de schema’s: een kristalradio, verschillende middengolf ontvangers (ook met een radiobuis), een “oer” schema geïnspireerd door de begintijd van de radio, twee korte golf ontvangers met SSB (2-12 MHz en 6-17 MHz) en een ontvanger voor de 80 meter band. Verder is in dit boek bijzonder veel aandacht besteed aan de praktische constructie van de radio’s en zijn er verschillende eenvoudige meetapparaten beschreven die dienst kunnen doen bij het ontwerpen en testen van radio’s (meetzender, absorptiemeter, transistortester e.d.).

The Unitree G1 is a modern humanoid robot that impresses with its remarkable flexibility and advanced technology. With an exceptionally wide range of joint movement and up to 43 joint motors, it exceeds the agility of a typical human. Powered by imitation learning and reinforcement learning, its robotic systems are continuously developed and optimized through artificial intelligence. One of the G1's most impressive features is its ability to autonomously move into a walking position as soon as it touches the ground – no external assistance required! It can immediately start moving, demonstrating a high level of independence and adaptability. The G1 is also equipped with a force-controlled, highly dexterous hand that operates with both sensitivity and precision, thanks to its combination of force and position control. This hand closely mimics human movements, allowing for precise object manipulation.
