Mit Arduino – Schaltungsprojekte für Profis wird der Leser umfassend in die Hardware und Software der Arduino-Plattform eingeführt. Einfache, leicht verständliche Projekte am Anfang des Buches führen Schritt für Schritt in die Open-Source-Plattform ein. Die Projekte werden dann zunehmend komplexer, um dem Leser möglichst viele konkrete Lösungsmöglichkeiten aufzuzeigen, die mit dem Arduino-Mikrocontroller auch für angehende Profis zur Verfügung stehen. Dabei wird neben den erforderlichen theoretischen Grundlagen stets größter Wert auf eine praxisorientierte Ausrichtung gelegt. So werden wichtige Techniken wie AD-Wandlung, Timer oder Interrupts stets in Praxisprojekte eingebettet. Es entstehen Lauflichteffekte, ein Aufwachlicht, voll funktionsfähige Voltmeter, präzise Digitalthermometer, Uhren in allen Variationen, Reaktionszeitmesser oder mausgesteuerte Roboterarme. Und ganz nebenbei hat der Leser die Grundlagen der zugehörigen Controller-Technik verstanden und im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes begriffen.

It is becoming important for microcontroller users to quickly learn and adapt to new technologies and architecture used in high performance 32-bit microcontrollers. Many manufacturers now offer 32-bit microcontrollers as general purpose processors in embedded applications. ARM provide 32 and 64-bit processors mainly for embedded applications. These days, the majority of mobile devices including mobile phones, tablets, and GPS receivers are based on ARM technology. The low cost, low power consumption, and high performance of ARM processors makes them ideal for use in complex communication and mixed signal applications. This book makes use of the ARM Cortex-M family of processors in easy-to-follow, practical projects. It gives a detailed introduction to the architecture of the Cortex-M family. Examples of popular hardware and software development kits are described. The architecture of the highly popular ARM Cortex-M processor STM32F107VCT6 is described at a high level, taking into consideration its clock mechanisms, general input/output ports, interrupt sources, ADC and DAC converters, timer facilities, and more. The information provided here should act as a basis for most readers to start using and programming the STM32F107VCT6 microcontroller together with a development kit.

A Guide to Powerful Programming for Embedded Systems You must be a well-rounded professional to excel in the ever-evolving, rapidly developing embedded design and programming industry. Simply put, when it comes to electronics design and programming, the more topics you can master, the more you’ll flourish at your workplace and at your personal workbench. This shouldn’t be a surprise, as the line between the skills of a hardware engineer and software engineer is blurring. The former should have a good grasp of programming in order to build efficient systems. The latter should understand the details of the design (whether it’s a physical or virtual application) for which he or she is writing code. Thus, to be successful, a modern professional electronics engineer must have a solid grasp of both hardware design and programming. Assembly Language Essentials is a matter-of-fact guide to Assembly that will introduce you to the most fundamental programming language of a processor. Unlike other resources about Assembly that focus exclusively on specific processors and platforms, this book uses the architecture of a fictional processor with its own hardware and instruction set. This enables you to consider the importance of Assembly language without having to deal with predetermined hardware or architectural restrictions. You’ll immediately find this thorough introduction to Assembly to be a valuable resource, whether you know nothing about the language or you have used it before. The only prerequisite is that you have a working knowledge of at least one higher-level programming language, such as C or Java. Assembly Language Essentials is an indispensible resource for electronics engineering professionals, academics, and advanced students looking to enhance their programming skills. The book provides the following, and more: An introduction to Assembly language and its functionality Significant definitions associated with Assembly language, as well as essential terminology pertaining to higher-level programming languages and computer architecture Important algorithms that may be built into high-level languages, but must be done the “hard way” in Assembly language — multiplication, division, and polynomial evaluation A presentation of Interrupt Service Routines with examples A free, downloadable Assembler program for experimenting with Assembly

Für den sensiblen und kritischen HiFi-Hörer ist die Röhrenverstärkung noch immer der "musikalischste" Weg der Signalaufbereitung in der Übertragungskette Signalquelle, Verstärker und Lautsprecher. Transparenz, Räumlichkeit, Tiefe, Klangfülle, Wärme... alle diese oder ähnliche Charakterisierungen versuchen etwas zu umschreiben, was kaum zu beschreiben ist, bei dem die Sprache scheinbar "versagt": das Hörerlebnis "Röhre". Moderne Audio-Röhren-Spitzengeräte sind im Schnitt sündhaft teuer; bei den niedrigen, ausschließlich in Handarbeit gefertigten Stückzahlen ist das erklärlich. Schaltungstechnisch gibt es bei den Röhrenverstärkern kaum mehr Geheimnisse, denn die Röhrentechnologie wurde bereits vor rund 30 Jahren "erwachsen". Allenfalls die Herstellung hochwertiger Ausgangsübertrager wird teilweise als gut gehütetes Fabrikationsgeheimnis behandelt. Was für den Audio-Hörer gilt, gilt auch für die meisten – nicht nur technisch interessierten – Gitarrenspieler allemal: für sie produziert die Röhre "the singing voice", die das Gitarrenspiel erst lebendig erscheinen lässt. Dieses Buch macht alle diese Dinge dem technisch interessierten Leser deutlich. Es zeigt dem praxisorientierten Audio-Hörer und Musiker Alternativen auf, wie man durch Selbstbau zu einem preiswerten Röhren-Equipment kommen kann. Dazu gehört, dass auch einige theoretische Zusammenhänge nicht ganz aus dem Blickfeld geraten.

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.
