Plot, Cut, Drill, Mill and Laser with the Z99 This book covers the construction, hardware, software, and operation of the Z99 – CNC machine. This is a multifunctional 4-axis machine for home construction. The capabilities of the Z99 machine include: large-format schematic plotting PCB plotting with etch-resist pens schematic plotting with conductive-ink pens letter cutting out of vinyl paper cutting PCB/substrate drilling PCB/substrate milling text milling laser engraving laser cutting of solder paste masks By making the support software available as freeware, readers of the book are challenged and encouraged to develop new applications for the Z99. The machine would not be of much use if the user has no option to create suitable files for the designs in mind. A large part of this book is dedicated to creating source files in a variety of freeware software packages, including Inkscape, DesignSpark PCB, KiCad, and FlatCAM. The book is also useful for readers keen to comprehend and then master the basic structure of HPGL, Gerber, Drill, and G-code files, as well as to have a go at deciphering them using software.

This book discusses the basic components of any alarm system. All alarm systems have two basic functions. First, they monitor their environment looking for a change such as a door or window opening or someone moving about in the room. Second, they alert the legal owner or user to this change. The system described in this book uses a scanning type software to detect intruders. It behaves like a guard dog, pacing up and down the fence line on the lookout for either an intruder or a familiar person. If you have an alarm key, you can disarm the system and enter. With the scanning method, the software is easy to write and explain. It can scan eight alarm zones plus two special fire zones in about one second. You don’t have to be an electrical engineer to install an alarm system, just a decent carpenter, painter, and plasterer! Because this alarm system runs on 12 volts, you don’t have to be a licensed electrician either to install it. The alarm system presented here uses Python software on the Raspberry Pi combined with some elementary electronic circuits. The code described in the book, as well as CAD files and a bill of materials for the alarm panel, are available for free downloading. The book provides the reader with examples of typical configurations coming straight from the author‘s experience. After reviewing the hardware components typically used in common alarm systems, the author shows how to plan one yourself. To implement a modular alarm, no matter if it is for a single house or for a business or restaurant, the book shows how to skillfully combine a Raspberry Pi with small auxiliary electronic circuits. These are not installation instructions but food for thought that will enable readers to find a solution to their needs.

Develop innovative hardware-based projects in C The Raspberry Pi has traditionally been programmed using Python. Although this is a very powerful language, many programmers may not be familiar with it. C on the other hand is perhaps the most commonly used programming language and all embedded microcontrollers can be programmed using it. The C language is taught in most technical colleges and universities and almost all engineering students are familiar with using it with their projects. This book is about using the Raspberry Pi with C to develop a range of hardware-based projects. Two of the most popular C libraries, wiringPi and pigpio are used. The book starts with an introduction to C and most students and newcomers will find this chapter invaluable. Many projects are provided in the book, including using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to establish communication with smartphones. Many sensor and hardware-based projects are included. Both wiringPi and pigpio libraries are used in all projects. Complete program listings are given with full explanations. All projects have been fully tested and work. The following hardware-based projects are provided in the book: Using sensors Using LCDs I²C and SPI buses Serial communication Multitasking External and timer interrupts Using Wi-Fi Webservers Communicating with smartphones Using Bluetooth Sending data to the cloud Program listings of all Raspberry Pi projects developed in this book are available on the Elektor website. Readers can download and use these programs in their projects. Alternatively, they can customize them to suit their applications.

Alle verwendeten Code-Beispiele stehen unter "Downloads" zum Herunterladen bereit. Mit den vorgestellten Konzepten können auf einfache Weise eigene Ergebnisse erzielt und somit der Lernprozess unterstützt werden. Auch professionelle Software-Tools von Microsoft stehen zum kostenlosen Download zur Verfügung. Die Anwender stellen für Microsoft's Visual Studio 2010 eine Vielzahl von Steuerungen, Eigenschaften, Methoden und Ereignissen bereit. Leser, die die Hardware eines PCs steuern wollen, erhalten genaue Anleitungen. In den Kapiteln über PC-Schnittstellen wird das Erbe der seriellen und parallelen Ports besprochen, analoge Zugänge steuern die Soundkarte und verwenden DirectX-Treiber von Microsoft. Die Anbindung des allgegenwärtigen USB-Ports wird genau erklärt, einschließlich des Entwurfs von Hard- und Software zur Steuerung eines PIC-Boards via USB.

Elektronische Systeme in Fahrzeugen werden immer wichtiger. Dies ist nicht nur auf die gestiegenen Ansprüche der Kunden hinsichtlich Komfort und Sicherheit zurückzuführen: Auch der Umweltschutz spielt bei dieser Entwicklung eine entscheidende Rolle. Aufgrund dieser Tatsache befinden sich heutzutage bis zu 80 elektronische Regeleinheiten in unseren Fahrzeugen, die – auch wenn sie von verschiedenen Herstellern stammen – natürlich auch miteinander kommunizieren müssen.Seit 2008 verlangt die europäische Gesetzgebung bei neu zugelassenen Fahrzeugen, dass sich Störungen, die zu einem erhöhten Schadstoffausstoß führen, über den CAN-Bus mit einem externen Diagnosetester aufspüren lassen.In diesem Buch werden Funktion und Aufbau des CAN-Protokolls sowohl im Hard- als auch im Software-Bereich ausführlich beschrieben. Dabei kommen die damit verbundenen Themen wie „Aufbau eines CAN-Berichtes“, „Prioritätsregelung“ und „physikalische Verbindung“ nicht zu kurz. Neben dem CAN-Bus ist EOBD-via-CAN ein vorherrschendes Thema. Wie funktioniert EOBD und welche diagnostischen Gegebenheiten sind mithilfe eines Diagnosetesters zugänglich?Die Gesetzgebung der Europäischen Union und die internationalen ISO- und SAE-Normen führen den Leser wie ein roter Faden durch die einzelnen Kapitel. Alle mit dem Thema in Zusammenhang stehenden Gesetze tragen zu einer Verringerung der Umweltbelastung bei und sorgen dafür, dass eine emissionsbezogene Störung am Fahrzeug schnell angezeigt (und damit auch repariert) wird.Ganz gleich, ob es um das Verständnis eines CAN-Berichtes, um das Aufspüren eines lästigen Fehlers oder gar um den Aufbau eines eigenen CAN-Bus-Systems geht: Dieses Buch erklärt nicht nur den CAN-Bus, sondern auch die Diagnose mittels CAN-Bus in verständlicher Weise und ist für private „Schrauber“ und professionelle Diagnosetechniker gleichermaßen geeignet. Studenten und Entwickler von CAN- und EOBD-Applikationen können sich mit diesem Buch durch „Probieren und Studieren“ eine Basis für ihre eigenen Entwicklungen schaffen.
