Die WiFi-Module der chinesischen Firma Espressif haben schon längst die Maker-Community erobert, bieten sie doch zu einem konkurrenzlosen Preis MCU- und WiFi-Funktionalität. Mit einfachen Mitteln lässt sich ein Arduino mit einem ESP-Modul um WiFi erweitern. Die globale Bastler-Gemeinde ersetzte schon bald die integrierte Firmware mit eigener Firmware, sodass Entwickler ESP-Boards wie Arduino-Boards programmieren können. Der neue ESP32 geht einen Schritt weiter und ist in jeder Beziehung leistungsfähiger als der ESP8266. Zudem besitzt er nun Bluetooth-Funktionalität. Der ESP32 verfügt über einen 240-MHz-Zweikern-Mikroprozessor mit einer Performanz von 600 DMIPS. Neben 520 KByte SRAM befinden sich 16 MByte Flashspeicher an Board. Zur Kommunikation mit der Außenwelt enthält das System-on-a-Chip die 802.11-b/g/n-WiFi-Komponente HT40 und Bluetooth-Funktionalität. Als Sensoren bietet der ESP32 einen Hall-Sensor, eine zehnfache, kapazitive Touch-Schnittstelle, einen analogen Verstärker für niedrige Signale und einen 32-kHz-Kristallquartz. Der Bestseller-Autor Erik Bartmann hat sich ausführlich mit dem ESP32 beschäftigt. Heraus gekommen ist dabei Das ESP32-Praxisbuch, in dem er die Leser Schritt für Schritt in die Arbeit mit diesem preiswerten WiFi-Mikrocontroller einführt.

De werking van veruit de meeste moderne elektronische apparaten is niet slechts op één enkel principe gebaseerd. Vaak staat een of andere computer (doorgaans een microcontroller) centraal. Uit deze fundamentele opzet – een computer die is ingebed in een bepaalde toepassingsschakeling – is de algemene benaming Embedded Systems voortgekomen. De meeste van deze systemen moeten vanuit het niets worden ontwikkeld, en daarbij komt het op elk detail aan. Vindingrijkheid en veelzijdigheid zijn dan een vereiste. De problemen die opgelost moeten worden, vormen niet zelden een ware uitdaging en betreffen niet alleen de analoge en digitale elektronica maar ook de systeemarchitectuur, programmering en programma-organisatie. De delen van deze reeks zijn geschreven voor iedereen – leerling, student of beginnend elektronicus – die zich terdege wil bekwamen in de professionele hardware- en systeemontwikkeling. En ze richten zich tot de allround-elektronicus die geen tijd heeft om specialist op een van de vele deelgebieden te worden maar die weet dat hij met standaard huis-, tuin- en keukenoplossingen niet ver komt. Ze bieden wat studenten en professionele elektronici nodig hebben: een opfrissing en verdieping van de basiskennis, een bron van inspiratie en een schat aan details en spitsvondigheden. Dit deel behandelt de passieve componenten: vaste weerstanden instelbare weerstanden NTC- en PTC-weerstanden spanningsafhankelijke weerstanden condensatoren spoelen transformatoren contactelementen

Dit boek is bedoeld voor diegenen die zich bezig houden met geluidsversterking en geluidsdistributie. Het gaat in op de akoestische eigenschappen van open, halfopen en omsloten ruimten. Belangrijk is hoe luidsprekers aangepast kunnen worden op allerlei omgevingen. Meestal moet men een keuze maken uit het aanbod van luidsprekers en microfoons. De vraag is dan welke luidspreker en microfoon de juiste keuze zijn. En hoe deze moeten worden opgesteld waarbij spraak- en muziekverstaanbaarheid en de maximaal haalbare versterking in de live-situatie de belangrijkste criteria zijn. Dit boek geeft antwoord op die vragen. Verder wordt de lezer meegenomen naar het ontwerpen van luidsprekers op basis van de T/S parameters. Met eenvoudige software is het mogelijk akoestische en mechanische elementen van een luidspreker met de eventuele behuizing te vertalen naar de elektrische analogieën, zodat de luidspreker op de PC gesimuleerd kan worden. Aan de hand van rekenvoorbeelden worden bovenstaande simulaties ondersteund. Tot slot zijn in de referentielijst een aantal internetlinks opgenomen waaruit zeer waardevolle gegevens gehaald kunnen worden. De auteur, Peter Swarte, is natuurkundig ingenieur en was werkzaam bij Philips. Momenteel is hij_eigenaar van consultancy bureau P.A.S. Electro Acoustics en is hij actief lid van zowel het NAG (Nederlands Akoestisch Genootschap) als de AES (Audio Engineering Society).

Multitasking and multiprocessing have become a very important topic in microcontroller-based systems, namely in complex commercial, domestic, and industrial automation applications. As the complexity of projects grows, more functionalities are demanded from the projects. Such projects require the use of multiple inter-related tasks running on the same system and sharing the available resources, such as the CPU, memory, and input-output ports. As a result of this, the importance of multitasking operations in microcontroller-based applications has grown steadily over the last few years. Many complex automation projects now make use of some form of a multitasking kernel. This book is project-based and its main aim is to teach the basic features of multitasking using the Python 3 programming language on Raspberry Pi. Many fully tested projects are provided in the book using the multitasking modules of Python. Each project is described fully and in detail. Complete program listings are given for each project. Readers should be able to use the projects as they are, or modify them to suit their own needs. The following Python multitasking modules have been described and used in the projects: Fork Thread Threading Subprocess Multiprocessing The book includes simple multitasking projects such as independently controlling multiple LEDs, to more complex multitasking projects such as on/off temperature control, traffic lights control, 2-digit, and 4-digit 7-segment LED event counter, reaction timer, stepper motor control, keypad based projects, car park controller, and many more. The fundamental multitasking concepts such as process synchronization, process communication, and memory sharing techniques have been described in projects concerning event flags, queues, semaphores, values, and so on.
