In ESP32 programmeren voor beginners bekijken we de ESP32 en zijn voorganger, de ESP8266. Deze kleine, maar zeer krachtige Chinese chips bestaan uit een processor, geheugen, input- en outputaansluitingen en hebben draadloze netwerktoegang via WiFi. Met dit boek tonen we hoe de programmeeromgeving Arduino werkt en hoe die kan gebruikt worden met ESP-hardware. Aan de hand van voorbeelden en projecten verduidelijken we hoe de ESP-hardware kan worden toegepast. In vogelvlucht: We beschrijven de opbouw van ESP-experimenten. We tonen hoe displays worden aangesloten. Eeprom_24c16 demonstreert hoe een externe geheugenchip wordt gebruikt om getallen en tekst op te slaan en weer uit te lezen. Project Klok is de eenvoudige implementatie van een digitale klok. We geven een handleiding voor het gebruik van temperatuur- en luchtvochtigheidsensoren. Webclient laat zien hoe de ESP32 gegevens van het internet kan halen. Met Webserver kunnen we op afstand met een pc of smartphone gegevens halen uit een ESP32, sensoren uitlezen en toestellen aan- en uitschakelen. Een NTP-klok haalt tijdinformatie van Tijdserver. Die geeft zowel de tijd als het aantal seconden sinds 1 januari 1900. Het boek beschrijft hoe hieruit de tijd kan worden berekend. In het laatste hoofdstuk gebruiken we het internet om nauwkeurige weerinformatie en voorspellingen op te vragen.

20+ Macintosh Models, from 1984 to Today (History, Engineering, and Restoration) Apple is not like any other company. More than anyone else, it transformed technology into something people could desire, love, and even identify with—much like a luxury brand. Users were not only buying a tool; they were buying a vision, a way of life. At the center of this transformation stands the Macintosh. First introduced in 1984, it was radically different from everything before. With its graphical interface and mouse, it made computing approachable, even friendly. What now feels obvious—clicking on icons, dragging files, pointing instead of typing commands—was revolutionary at the time. The Macintosh not only changed the way people related to technology. The Macintosh forced the entire industry to rethink the way we use computers. This book tells that story through some of the most significant Macintosh models. Each one is presented not only in words but also in images, because these computers are more than technology—they are design icons, symbols of a unique vision. History, technical detail, and photography come together here, aiming to show each Macintosh as it truly deserves to be seen.

32 neue Projekte, praktische Beispiele und Übungen mit dem Elektor Arduino Nano MCCAB Trainingsboard Die Elektronik und die Mikrocontrollertechnik bieten die Möglichkeit, kreativ tätig zu sein. Mit diesem Mikrocontroller-Praxiskurs besteht die Möglichkeit, eigene Arduino-Projekte zu realisieren und solche Erfolgsmomente erleben zu können. Im Idealfall funktioniert beim ersten Einschalten alles so, wie man es sich vorgestellt hat. In der Praxis läuft es dagegen selten wie erwartet. Dann braucht man Kenntnisse, um den Grund für das Nichtfunktionieren effizient suchen und finden zu können. In diesem Buch für Fortgeschrittene steigen wir tief in die Welt der Mikrocontroller und der Arduino IDE ein, um neue Verfahren und Details kennen zu lernen, und erfolgreich noch anspruchsvollere Situationen angehen und lösen zu können. Mit diesem Buch gibt der Autor dem Leser das nötige Rüstzeug, um eigenständig Projekte zu kreieren und auch schnell Fehler finden zu können. Anstatt nur fertige Lösungen zu bieten, erklärt er die Hintergründe, die verwendete Hardware und die eventuell benötigten Tools. Er stellt Aufgaben, bei denen der Leser seine eigene Kreativität einbringt und den Arduino-Sketch selbst schreibt. Falls man einmal keine vernünftige Idee hat und nicht weiterkommt, gibt es natürlich zu jedem Projekt und zu jeder Aufgabe einen Lösungsvorschlag mit zugehöriger Software, der im Buch ausführlich kommentiert und erklärt wird. Sie erfahren mit diesem Praxiskurs mehr über das Innenleben des Arduino Nano und des darauf befindlichen Mikrocontrollers. Sie lernen Hardware-Module kennen, mit denen Sie neue interessante Projekte realisieren werden. Sie beschäftigen sich mit Softwareverfahren wie z. B. "Zustandsmaschinen", durch deren Anwendung sich Aufgabenstellungen oft einfacher und übersichtlicher lösen lassen. Die zahlreichen praktischen Projekt- und Übungs-Sketche realisieren wir wieder auf dem vom "Mikrocontroller-Praxiskurs für Arduino-Einsteiger" bekannten MCCAB Trainingsboard, das die gesamte Hardware-Peripherie und die Bedienungselemente enthält, die wir für die Ein-/Ausgabe-Operationen unserer Sketche benötigen. Leser, die das MCCAB Trainingsboard noch nicht besitzen, können die benötigte Hardware separat erwerben, oder alternativ auch auf einem Breadboard aufbauen.

LoRaWAN, Sigfox, NB-IoT & LTE-M Compared The Internet of Things depends on a critical question. How do you connect devices that must operate for years on tiny batteries, often miles from the nearest power outlet? This Elektor Technical Brief provides a practical guide to the technologies that have become the backbone of long-range, low-power IoT connectivity. Compiled by the Elektor Content Team, this concise technical brief examines the real engineering tradeoffs behind today’s leading Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) technologies: LoRaWAN, Sigfox, NB-IoT, and LTE-M. By referencing a wide range of Elektor articles and other online content, this document explains why link budget, noise, bandwidth, and power consumption ultimately determine system performance. From there, it explores the architectures, strengths, limitations, and deployment realities of each major LPWAN technology, helping you understand not just how they work, but when and why to use them. Whether you’re designing smart meters, industrial sensors, agricultural monitoring systems, asset trackers, or connected infrastructure, this guide provides the insights needed to make informed connectivity decisions. Along the way, you’ll discover: Why LPWAN technologies emerged and where they fit in the IoT landscape The RF fundamentals that drive range, reliability, and battery life Details about LoRaWAN, Sigfox, NB-IoT, and LTE-M Practical comparisons of power, coverage, latency, cost, and deployment models Guidance for selecting the right LPWAN technology for your application Emerging trends shaping the future of long-range IoT connectivity Clear, accessible, and grounded in real engineering practice, this Technical Brief helps you move beyond specifications and marketing claims to understand what matters most. If you’re building connected products that need to survive in the field — not just in the lab — this is the LPWAN guide you’ll want at your side. Elektor helped launch the first wave of electronics makers in 1961. Since then, our global community has grown by hundreds of thousands of active members (comprising professional engineers, makers, and students) and more than 500 contributing experts. Every day, we inspire members to design and earn money with electronics.

Vom Messwert zur stabilen Entscheidung Wie wird aus einem einfachen Mikrocontroller ein intelligentes System, das Sensorwerte erfasst, verarbeitet und sinnvoll darauf reagiert? Dieses Buch zeigt es Ihnen Schritt für Schritt – verständlich, praxisnah und ohne unnötige Vorkenntnisse. Sie beginnen mit den Grundlagen der digitalen und analogen Ein- und Ausgänge. Anschließend lernen Sie, wie Sensorwerte gelesen, geglättet und zuverlässig bewertet werden. Anschauliche Beispiele erklären, warum einzelne Messwerte oft täuschen können und wie Mittelwertbildung, Hysterese und einfache Entscheidungsregeln für stabile Ergebnisse sorgen. Nach und nach erweitern Sie Ihre Projekte um Displays, I²C-Kommunikation und mehrere vernetzte Mikrocontroller. So entstehen verteilte Systeme, in denen Raspberry Pi Pico und ATtiny-Controller Daten austauschen und gemeinsam Aufgaben übernehmen. Im fortgeschrittenen Teil erhalten Sie einen leicht verständlichen Einstieg in Merkmalsbildung, Datenvorverarbeitung, hybride Entscheidungsmodelle und TinyML-nahe Anwendungen. Dabei verbinden Sie klassische Regelungstechnik mit modernen datenbasierten Methoden. Alle Projekte werden von ausführlich kommentierten Programmen in C und MicroPython begleitet. Das Buch richtet sich an Einsteiger, Maker, Studierende und alle, die Embedded-Systeme von Grund auf verstehen möchten. Am Ende können Sie eigene Systeme entwickeln, die nicht nur messen, sondern Informationen auswerten, zuverlässige Entscheidungen treffen und gezielt reagieren.
