The newcomer to Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers invariably gets an LED to flash as their first attempt to master this technology. You can use just a simple LED indicator in order to show that your initial attempt is working, which will give you confidence to move forward. This is how the book begins — simple programs to flash LEDs, and eventually by stages to use other display indicators such as the 7-segment display, alphanumeric liquid crystal displays and eventually a colour graphic LCD. As the reader progresses through the book, bigger and upgraded PIC chips are introduced, with full circuit diagrams and source code, both in assembler and C. In addition, a small tutorial is included using the MPLAB programming environment, together with the EAGLE schematic and PCB design package to enable readers to create their own designs using the book’s many case studies as working examples to work from.

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.

De schrijver laat niet alleen beginners maar ook gevorderden op professionele wijze en met verstand van zaken kennismaken met dit uiterst interessant onderwerp. Ook hobbyisten of professionals die hun kennis willen verdiepen of uitbreiden, krijgen daartoe in dit boek volop mogelijkheid. De moderne state-of-the-art AVR-processoren van Atmel vormen in combinatie met programmering in C een platform dat gedurende lange tijd actueel zal blijven. Na een inleiding en een kennismaking met de vereiste ontwikkelomgeving komen projecten aan bod die stap voor stap naar het gewenste doel leiden. Voor de meeste projecten wordt het Mini-Megaboard gebruikt – een experimenteerprint die oorspronkelijk in het maandblad Elektor is beschreven. Dit garandeert dat de beschreven projecten probleemloos kunnen worden nagebouwd. Maar natuurlijk kunnen ook eigen experimenteerprinten worden gebruikt – een van de doelstellingen van dit boek is immers dat de lezer uiteindelijk zelfstandig eigen schakelingen kan ontwerpen en bouwen. Een greep uit de inhoud: De juiste microcontroller De ontwikkelomgeving De eerste experimenten met de ?C Het Mini-Mega-board Beginselen van I/O Vloeibaar-kristal-displays Seriële data-overdracht Analoge in- en uitvoer Programmasturing met interrupts Timers en counters Geheugenoperaties De seriële I²C-bus en SPI Voorbeeldprojecten

Er zijn niet zoveel boeken te vinden over het ontwerpen en bouwen van zenders met een klein uitgangsvermogen. Dit boek beschrijft nauwkeurig de werking en bouw van maar liefst twintig audio- en videozender(tje)s. Daarmee biedt het aan de amateur-elektronicus, technicus, zendamateur en andere radio-enthousiasten het noodzakelijke materiaal om zich verder te bekwamen op dit gebied. Er wordt slechts weinig aandacht besteed aan de theorie, maar dat heeft een groot voordeel: ruim 300 pagina’s vol praktijk. De zenders, sommige eenvoudig, andere meer gecompliceerd, werden speciaal ontworpen voor het gebruik door amateurs. Ze werken tussen 150 kHz en 1300 MHz. De gebruikte techniek dateert vooral uit de jaren 90. Dit mag op het eerste gezicht een tekortkoming lijken, maar het is juist een extra argument voor publicatie. De technieken hebben zich inmiddels bewezen en er worden eenvoudige, goedkope en nog steeds goed verkrijgbare onderdelen gebruikt. Dit boek richt zich dus in de eerste plaats tot de potentiële gebruiker van HF-technieken, die er niet voor terugschrikt om dit soort schakelingen in elkaar te zetten. De schakelingen zijn probleemloos na te bouwen (nog een voordeel van zich bewezen technieken). Om dat te bereiken hebben de auteurs veel aandacht besteed aan: de testprocedures voor elke schakeling, de onderdelenlijst, instructies voor het vervaardigen van de spoelen en voor de afregeling. Bij de meeste schakelingen is bovendien een printontwerp afgedrukt. Naast zenders voor o.a. FM-stereo, AM, VHF-FM-amateur, R/C-TV, 40-m-CW-zender, 10-m-SSB, 2-m-NBFM, FM-video-link en amateur-TV vindt u in dit boek ook verwante schakelingen, zoals een down-converter voor 400, 900 en 1300 MHz en een HF-vermogensmeter.

PIC und AVR verstehen In diesem Buch werden wir uns ausschließlich mit 8-Bit-Mikrocontrollern beschäftigen, und zwar mit Mikrocontrollern der 8-Bit-PIC- und der 8-Bit-AVR-Mikrocontroller-Linien. Bei der PIC-Familie handelt es sich dabei um PIC10, PIC12, PIC16 und PIC18; bei der AVR-Familie um ATtiny, ATmega und ATxmega. Die vorgestellten 8-Bit-Chips sind für sehr viele Anwendungen vollkommen ausreichend und preislich auch attraktiv. Durch die Lektüre des Buches erhalten Sie ein fundiertes Wissen über die genannten 8-Bit-Mikrocontroller, über ihre Architektur, ihre Pinbelegungen und über ihre Programmierung. Weil wir uns in diesem Buch mit den Grundlagen der Architektur der PICs und AVRs vertraut machen möchten, werden wir auch für alle PIC- und AVR-Anwendungen Assembler einsetzen, denn die Assembler-Sprache erlaubt es, die Technik im Detail kennenzulernen. Wenn man wirklich wissen möchte, was sich im Mikrocontroller abspielt, greift man zu Assembler. Damit hat man die beste Gelegenheit, sehr nah an den Kern zu kommen. Und wenn man schon einen Mikrocontroller-Typ kennengelernt und verstanden hat, ist es bei dem nächsten deutlich einfacher, auch wenn er von einem anderen Hersteller kommt. Bei anderen Programmiersprachen bleibt die Technik immer ziemlich tief versteckt. Die Assembler-Beispiele sind so einfach gestaltet, dass sie jeder mit den im Buch aufgezeigten Programmiertechniken erstellen kann. Weil es sich um einfache Beispiele handelt, werden wir sie alle auf einer universellen Lochrasterplatine realisieren. Manche sind auch auf einem Experimentier-Breadboard umsetzbar.
