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.

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.
