Die Hochfrequenztechnik ist eines der Gebiete, auf denen man auch heute noch eigene Ideen in die Tat umsetzen kann. Unzählige Schaltungsvarianten mit besonderen Zielsetzungen geben Raum für sinnvolle Experimente und Projekte. Vieles kann man nicht einfach kaufen. Detektorradios ohne eigene Energiequelle, einfache Röhrenempfänger mit einem Hauch von Nostalgie, die ersten Empfangsversuche mit dem Software Defined Radio oder Spezialempfänger für den Amateurfunk, all dies lässt sich mit wenig Aufwand realisieren. Lange Zeit war das Radiobasteln der Einstieg in die Elektronik. Inzwischen gibt es auch andere Wege, vor allem über Computer, Mikrocontroller und die Digitaltechnik. Allerdings kommen die analogen Wurzeln der Elektronik oft zu kurz. Die Radiotechnik eignet sich besonders gut als Lernfeld der Elektronik, weil man hier mit den einfachsten Grundlagen beginnen kann. Aber auch die Verbindung zur modernen Digitaltechnik liegt auf der Hand, wenn es z. B. um moderne Abstimmverfahren wie PLL und DDS oder um moderne DSP-Radios geht. Dieses Buch gibt einen Überblick und stellt eine Sammlung einfacher Projekte vor. Der Autor möchte Sie dabei unterstützen, eigene Ideen zu entwickeln, eigene Empfänger zu entwerfen und sie zu erproben.

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.

Robotertechnik ist in den letzten Jahren zunehmend in den Blick der Öffentlichkeit geraten. Nicht zuletzt aufgrund der immer häufiger werdenden Anwendungen im industriellen Bereich, im Spielzeugsektor und auch im Haushalt. Robotertechnik als Hobby ist besonders interessant und stellt eine außergewöhnliche Herausforderung dar, da dieses Hobby Fachgebiete wie Elektronik, Mechanik und Informatik verbindet. Es fördert daher in hohem Masse die Fähigkeit, vernetzt zu denken und komplexe, voneinander abhängige Sachverhalte zu erkennen. Roboter-Wettbewerbe – wie zum Beispiel die alljährlich ausgetragene Roboter-Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft – sind ein besonderes Highlight, übersteigen allerdings in den meisten Fällen die Möglichkeiten eines Hobbyisten bei weitem. Andererseits ist der Aufbau eines vorgefertigten Bausatzes oder gar der Betrieb eines fertigen Roboters keine echte Herausforderung und wird schnell langweilig, zumal diese Roboter in der Regel auch keine realen Aufgaben erfüllen können. Besonders beeindruckend ist es, wenn ein Roboter sich nicht nur mehr oder weniger geschickt umher bewegt, sondern dabei gleichzeitig noch das Zimmer reinigt. Dieses Buch stellt verschiedenste Möglichkeiten zum Selbstbau von Reinigungsrobotern vor; angefangen von einfachen mechanisch gesteuerten Wischrobotern bis hin zu komplexen, mikroprozessorgesteuerten Saugrobotern mit diversen Varianten der Hinderniserkennung. Dabei legt der Autor besonderen Wert auf die einfache und preiswerte Herstellung funktioneller Roboter.

An 8-in-1 test & measurement instrument for the electronics workbench A well-equipped electronics lab is crammed with power supplies, measuring devices, test equipment and signal generators. Wouldn‘t it be better to have one compact device for almost all tasks? Based on the Arduino, a PC interface is to be developed that’s as versatile as possible for measurement and control. It simply hangs on a USB cable and – depending on the software – forms the measuring head of a digital voltmeter or PC oscilloscope, a signal generator, an adjustable voltage source, a frequency counter, an ohmmeter, a capacitance meter, a characteristic curve recorder, and much more. The circuits and methods collected here are not only relevant for exactly these tasks in the "MSR" electronics lab, but many details can also be used within completely different contexts.

Projects with Thonny-IDE, uPyCraft-IDE, and ESP32 The 'Python' programming language has enjoyed an enormous upswing in recent years. Not least, various single-board systems such as the Raspberry Pi have contributed to its popularity. But Python has also found widespread use in other fields, such as artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML). It is obvious, therefore, to use Python or the 'MicroPython' variant for use in SoCs (Systems on Chip) as well. Powerful controllers such as the ESP32 from Espressif Systems offer excellent performance as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionality at an affordable price. With these features, the Maker scene has been taken by storm. Compared to other controllers, the ESP32 has a significantly larger flash and SRAM memory, as well as a much higher CPU speed. Due to these characteristics, the chip is not only suitable for classic C applications, but also for programming with MicroPython. This book introduces the application of modern one-chip systems. In addition to the technical background, the focus is on MicroPython itself. After the introduction to the language, the programming skills learned are immediately put into practice. The individual projects are suitable for use in the laboratory as well as for everyday applications. So, in addition to the actual learning effect, the focus is also on the joy of building complete and useful devices. By using laboratory breadboards, circuits of all kinds can be realized with little effort, turning the testing and debugging of the 100% homebrew projects into an instructive pleasure. The various applications, such as weather stations, digital voltmeters, ultrasound range finders, RFID card readers or function generators, make the projects presented ideally suited for practical courses or subject and study work in the natural sciences, or in science and technology classes.
