Architecture, Programming and Applications The MSP430 is a popular family of microcontrollers from Texas Instruments. In this book we will work with the smallest type, which is the powerful MSP430G2553. We will look at the capabilities of this microcontroller in detail, as it is well-suited for self-made projects because it is available in a P-DIP20 package. We will take a closer look at the microcontroller and then build, step by step, some interesting applications, including a 'Hello World' blinking LED and a nice clock application, which can calculate the day of the week based on the date. You also will learn how to create code for the MSP microcontroller in assembler. In addition to that, we will work with the MSP-Arduino IDE, which makes it quite easy to create fast applications without special in-depth knowledge of the microcontrollers. All the code used in the book is available for download from the Elektor website.

The Elektor Laser Head transforms the Elektor Sand Clock into a clock that writes the time on glow-in-the-dark film instead of sand. In addition to displaying the time, it can also be used to create ephemeral drawings. The 5 mW laser pointer, with a wavelength of 405 nm, produces bright green drawings on the glow-in-the-dark film. For best results, use the kit in a dimly lit room. Warning: Never look directly into the laser beam! The kit includes all the necessary components, but soldering three wires is required. Note: This kit is also compatible with the original Arduino-based Sand Clock from 2017. For more details, see Elektor Magazine 1-2/2017 and Elektor Magazine 1-2/2018.

Projects Using Arduino IDE and the LVGL Graphics Library The ESP32 is probably one of the most popular microcontrollers used by many people, including students, hobbyists, and professional engineers. Its low cost, coupled with rich features makes it a popular device to use in many projects. Recently, a board called the ESP32 Cheap Yellow Display (CYD for short) is available from its manufacturers. The board includes a standard ESP32 microcontroller together with a 320x240 pixel TFT display. Additionally, the board provides several connectors for interfaces such as GPIO, serial port (TX/RX), power and Ground. The inclusion of a TFT display is a real advantage as it enables users to design complex graphics-based projects without resorting to an external LCD or graphics displays. The book describes the basic hardware of the ESP32 CYD board and provides details of its on-board connectors. Many basic, simple, and intermediate-level projects are given in the book based on the ESP32 CYD, using the highly popular Arduino IDE 2.0 integrated development environment. The use of both the basic graphics functions and the use of the popular LVGL graphics library are discussed in the book and projects are given that use both types of approaches. All the projects given in the book have been tested and are working. The block diagram, circuit diagram, and the complete program listings and program descriptions of all the projects are given with explanations. Readers can use the LVGL graphics library to design highly popular eye-catching full-color graphics projects using widgets such as buttons, labels, calendars, keypads, keyboards, message boxes, spinboxes, sliders, charts, tables, menus, bars, switches, drop-down lists, animations, and many more widgets.

Dieses Buch enthält eine Sammlung von Artikeln aus der Zeitschrift Elektor zum Thema „Audiotechnik". Die vorgestellten Schaltungen beschäftigen sich nicht nur mit der Klangwiedergabe, sondern beginnen dort, wo hörenswerte Aufnahmen ihren Ursprung haben: beim bezahlbaren und anspruchsvollen Mikrofon-Vorverstärker. Es folgen u. a. Endstufen, Ergänzungen zu Soundkarten und nicht zuletzt Boxen-Bauvorschläge. Dabei kommt die Theorie nur soweit zu Wort, wie sie für das Verständnis erforderlich ist. Schnell folgt alles, was zur Verwirklichung der Idee notwendig ist: genaue Baupläne mit Platinenlayout, Stückliste und Bestückungsplan, Aufbauanleitung, Beschaffungshinweise für schwer erhältliche Bauteile, Abgleichhinweise usw. Ein Leistungsverstärker, der genügend Power für Veranstaltungssäle, Diskos und Theater bietet, rundet das Angebot ab. Um die Bauvorhaben erfolgreich zu realisieren, sollten einige Grundkenntnisse im Aufbau elektronischer Schaltungen und – noch wichtiger – etwas Übung im praktischen Aufbau und im Löten vorhanden sein.
