Elektor Publishing The Maker’s Guide to AI Coding
If you can describe it, you can build it AI coding assistants are changing what makers and solopreneurs can build. Tasks that once demanded weeks of learning a new language, framework, or software stack can now be delegated to an AI—provided you know how to describe the job, judge the result, and keep control of the process. The Maker’s Guide to AI Coding is a practical guide to doing exactly that. It explains how to work with AI coding tools as collaborators rather than vending machines, how much to delegate, how to write specifications that produce useful results, and how to recognise hallucinations, context drift, overconfidence, and code that runs but is still wrong. The book is built around four increasingly ambitious projects. You begin with a browser-based RC filter analyser, then develop a live serial data plotter for Arduino and other microcontrollers. Next comes a datasheet questionand- answer tool using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), followed by a complete multi-user resource booking system with authentication, a database, external services, background jobs, and deployment. No advanced programming background is required. The emphasis is on thinking clearly, guiding the AI, testing what it produces, and preserving the skills needed to evaluate its work. Along the way, you learn development workflow designed to remain useful as tools evolve. If you can describe what you want to build, this book shows you how to turn that description into working software.

Elektor Digital MicroPython for Microcontrollers (E-book)
Projects with Thonny-IDE, uPyCraft-IDE, and ESP32 The 'Python' programming language has enjoyed an enormous upswing in recent years. Not least, various single-board systems such as the Raspberry Pi have contributed to its popularity. But Python has also found widespread use in other fields, such as artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML). It is obvious, therefore, to use Python or the 'MicroPython' variant for use in SoCs (Systems on Chip) as well. Powerful controllers such as the ESP32 from Espressif Systems offer excellent performance as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionality at an affordable price. With these features, the Maker scene has been taken by storm. Compared to other controllers, the ESP32 has a significantly larger flash and SRAM memory, as well as a much higher CPU speed. Due to these characteristics, the chip is not only suitable for classic C applications, but also for programming with MicroPython. This book introduces the application of modern one-chip systems. In addition to the technical background, the focus is on MicroPython itself. After the introduction to the language, the programming skills learned are immediately put into practice. The individual projects are suitable for use in the laboratory as well as for everyday applications. So, in addition to the actual learning effect, the focus is also on the joy of building complete and useful devices. By using laboratory breadboards, circuits of all kinds can be realized with little effort, turning the testing and debugging of the 100% homebrew projects into an instructive pleasure. The various applications, such as weather stations, digital voltmeters, ultrasound range finders, RFID card readers or function generators, make the projects presented ideally suited for practical courses or subject and study work in the natural sciences, or in science and technology classes.

Elektor Digital Arduino voor gevorderden (E-book)
Beginselen van het programmeren Eenvoudige projecten voor beginners Interface- en hardware-uitbreidingen Complexe projecten voor gevorderden Twee zaken hebben in belangrijke mate bijgedragen aan het grote succes van het Arduinoplatform. De eerste is de complete, gebruiksklare processorprint die de kennismaking met dehardware aanzienlijk vergemakkelijkt. En de tweede is de gratis verkrijgbare programmeerinterface, die zonder ingewikkelde installatieprocedures meteen gebruikt kan worden. Eenvoudige projecten voor beginners garanderen snelle resultaten. Het is niet nodig eerst ingewikkelde parameters (processortype of interface-instellingen) te selecteren -- de eerste voorbeeldprogramma's kunnen al na enkele minuten in de Arduino worden geladen en uitgeprobeerd. De Arduino-gebruiker wordt geholpen door een groot aantal software-bibliotheken -- maar deze nog dagelijks groeiende schat aan libraries vormt juist voor de beginner een luxe-probleem: na de eerste eenvoudige voorbeelden is het niet altijd even duidelijk hoe het nu verder moet. Bij de in het internet circulerende projecten ontbreekt het in veel gevallen aan gedetailleerd commentaar en uitleg. Er is geen duidelijk herkenbare leidraad, en eigenlijk is dat ook niet zo vreemd omdat de toepassingen door verschillende mensen voor verschillende doeleinden zijn ontwikkeld. Dat is waar dit boek te hulp komt. Projecten worden op een systematische manier gepresenteerd, waarbij elk project een ander onderwerp belicht. De aanpak is praktijkgericht, maar de noodzakelijke theoretische achtergrond wordt daarbij niet uit het oog verloren. Belangrijke onderwerpen zoals A/D-omzetting, timers en interrupts worden steeds in praktische projecten 'ingebed'. In het boek komen zaken als looplicht-effecten, praktisch bruikbare voltmeters, nauwkeurige digitale thermometers, allerlei soorten klokken, reactietesters en zelfs een muisgestuurde robotkraan aan de orde. En al lezende en doende krijgt de lezer een gedegen inzicht in de achterliggende controllertechnieken.

Elektor Digital Arduino – Circuits & Projects Guide (E-book)
Two reasons can be identified for the immense success of the Arduino platform. First, the cheap, ready to go processor board greatly simplifies the introduction to hardware. The second success factor is the free and open-source programming suite that does not require an installation procedure. Simple entry-level examples ensure rapid successes. Complex selection procedures for parameters like the microprocessor version or interface settings are not required. The first sample programs can be uploaded to the Arduino board, and tested, in a matter of minutes. The Arduino user is supported by an array of software libraries. However, the daily increasing volume of libraries poses initial problems to the newcomer, and the way ahead may be uncertain after a few entry-level examples. In many cases, detailed descriptions are missing, and poorly described projects tend to confuse rather than elucidate. Clear guidance and a single motto are missing, usually owing to the projects having been created by several different persons—all with different aims in mind. This book represents a different approach. All projects are presented in a systematical manner, guiding into various theme areas. In the coverage of must-know theory great attention is given to practical directions users can absorb, including essential programming techniques like A/D conversion, timers and interrupts—all contained in the hands-on projects. In this way readers of the book create running lights, a wakeup light, fully functional voltmeters, precision digital thermometers, clocks of many varieties, reaction speed meters, or mouse controlled robotic arms. While actively working on these projects the reader gets to truly comprehend and master the basics of the underlying controller technology.
