A Hands-on Guide to Crafting Your Own Power Plant The book you are about to read provides a step-by-step guide for building a renewable energy power plant at home. Our goal was to make the book as practical as possible. The material is intended for immediate application with a small amount of theory. Yet, the theory is important as a foundation that saves time and effort by disabusing the readers of potential misconceptions. Specifically, upon having a firm understanding of photovoltaic physics, you will not be inclined to fruitlessly search for 90% efficient solar panels! We want our readers to be the “doers”. If the book gets covered in grime and some pages become torn while you are building your power plant – this is the best compliment to us. The book covers solar and wind energy. Also, a curious power source based on manure is discussed as well, giving the doers an opportunity to further develop the manure fuel cell. It is important to note that there are many companies offering installation of complete solar solutions. Upon installing the panels, the system is not owned by the customer. Therefore, there is no freedom for experimentation and optimization. Also, none can beat the cost of a DIY solution as well as the ultimate satisfaction. All that is written here is a result of us building a renewable energy solution in Southern California. As the book was completed, the energy began flowing!

Der Autor zeigt in diesem Buch alle wichtigen Aspekte der Mikrocontroller-Programmierung, ohne den Leser mit unnötigen oder nebensächlichen Informationen zu überladen. Am Ende der Lektüre ist der Leser in der Lage, 8-Bit-Mikrocontroller zu verstehen und zu programmieren. Die Einführung in die Mikrocontroller-Programmierung dekliniert der Autor an Mikrocontrollern aus der PIC-Familie durch. Der PIC mit seinem 8-Bit-Design ist nicht auf dem modernsten technischen Stand, aber dafür einfach zu verstehen. Er wird in einem DIP-Gehäuse angeboten, ist überall erhältlich und nicht besonders komplex. Das gesamte Datenblatt des PICs ist um Dekaden kürzer als die Architekturbeschreibung, die den Prozessor eines fortgeschrittenen Mikrocontrollers beschreibt. Die Einfachheit hat ihre Vorteile. Wer versteht, wie ein Mikrocontroller grundlegend funktioniert, kann sich später in fortgeschrittene Softcores einarbeiten. Steht im ersten Teil des Buches Assembler als ausführende Programmiersprache im Vordergrund, so geht der Autor im zweiten Teil seines Buches vertiefend auf C ein. Quasi nebenbei entführt das Buch den Leser in die Tiefen der praktischen Arbeit mit Mikrocontrollern, erklärt interessante Messtechnik und zeigt Möglichkeiten zur Arbeitserleichterung und Fehlersuche.

Ook in deze tijd klinken buizenversterkers nog steeds fantastisch, misschien wel mooier dan ooit. Nu hebben we immers de beschikking over moderne materialen als ringkern uitgangstransformatoren, uiterst hoogwaardige weerstanden en condensatoren en vele soorten goed klinkend draad. Ook de moderne geluidsbronnen als de CD speler en de nieuwste hoogwaardige luidsprekers laten beter dan ooit horen hoe goed de buizenversterker weergeeft. Dit boek van Menno van der Veen kijkt niet alleen theoretisch naar buizenversterkers, maar vooral ook naar de ontwerpfase waarin besluiten moeten worden genomen over de doelen en eisen van de versterker. Hoe hangen deze samen met subjectieve en objectieve criteria? Welke schakelingen klinken vooral prachtig en waarom doen ze dat? Stel dat je een versterker gaat ontwikkelen en in de handel wilt brengen, tegen welke problemen loop je dan aan? En wat te zeggen van het belang en de betekenis van metingen? Zeggen ze nu iets of zeggen ze niets? Dankzij de grote rekenkracht van de computer kunnen we tegenwoordig dieper meten dan ooit. Hoe pas je deze technieken toe bij buizenversterkers? Tot nu toe waren metingen over frequentiebereik en vermogen en vervorming voldoende om een beeld van de eigenschappen van een versterker te geven. Maar zijn zulke metingen voldoende of moeten we gaan meten zoals ons oor waarneemt, met echte muzieksignalen in plaats van meettoontjes? De auteur schetst een toekomst waarbij meten aan de versterker de eigenschappen van ons horen moet volgen om tot nieuwe inzichten te komen. Dit boek is meer op de praktijk gericht dan op de theorie en heeft een beschouwend karakter, alsof de auteur van bovenaf naar de buizenversterker kijkt. Kenniselementen worden geïntegreerd en in een breed overzichtelijk kader geplaatst.

A Small Basic Approach There are many different PC programming languages available on the market. Some have beautiful names; some have easy to use development tools. Others have incredible power. They all have one thing in common: they assume that you have, or want to have, a knack for technology and difficult to read commands. In this book we take a practical approach to programming. We assume that you simply want to write a PC program, and write it quickly. Not in a professional environment, not in order to start a new career, but for plain and simple fun... or just to get a task done. Therefore we use Small Basic. You will have an application up and running in a matter of minutes. You will understand exactly how it works and be able to write text programs, graphical user interfaces, and advanced drivers. It is so simple; you don't even need to be an adult!

This book focuses more on practical aspects than on theory, and it has an contemplative nature, as though the author were viewing amplifiers from above. Knowledge elements are integrated and placed in the context of a broad overview. Even now tube amplifiers still sound great perhaps better than ever before. In part that is because we now have access to modern components such as toroidal output transformers, extremely high-quality resistors and capacitors, and many sorts of wire with good acoustic properties. Modern audio sources, such as CD players, and the latest top-end loudspeakers also enable us to appreciate how well tube amplifiers reproduce music even better than before. This new book from Menno van der Veen looks at tube amplifiers from more than just a theoretical perspective. It focuses primarily on the design phase, where decisions must be taken with regard to the purpose and requirements of the amplifier, and it addresses the following questions: How do these aspects relate to subjective and objective criteria? Which circuits sound the best, and why? If you want to develop and market an amplifier, what problems should you expect? What are the significance and meaning of measurements? Are they still meaningful, or have they lost their relevance? Thanks to the enormous processing power of computers, we can now measure more details than ever before. How can these new methods be applied to tube amplifiers? Previously it was sufficient to measure the frequency range, power and distortion of an amplifier in order to characterize the amplifier. Are these measurements still sufficient, or should we start measuring according to how we hear, using real music signals instead of waveforms from signal generators? The author sketches a future where amplifier measurements that conform to our sense of hearing enable us to arrive at new insights. This book focuses more on practical aspects than on theory, and it has an contemplative nature, as though the author were viewing amplifiers from above. Knowledge elements are integrated and placed in the context of a broad overview.

Practical Multitasking Fundamentals Programming embedded systems is difficult because of resource constraints and limited debugging facilities. Why develop your own Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) as well as your application when the proven FreeRTOS software is freely available? Why not start with a validated foundation? Every software developer knows that you must divide a difficult problem into smaller ones to conquer it. Using separate preemptive tasks and FreeRTOS communication mechanisms, a clean separation of functions is achieved within the entire application. This results in safe and maintainable designs. Practicing engineers and students alike can use this book and the ESP32 Arduino environment to wade into FreeRTOS concepts at a comfortable pace. The well-organized text enables you to master each concept before starting the next chapter. Practical breadboard experiments and schematics are included to bring the lessons home. Experience is the best teacher. Each chapter includes exercises to test your knowledge. The coverage of the FreeRTOS Application Programming Interface (API) is complete for the ESP32 Arduino environment. You can apply what you learn to other FreeRTOS environments, including Espressif’s ESP-IDF. The source code is available from GitHub. All of these resources put you in the driver’s seat when it is time to develop your next uber-cool ESP32 project. What you will learn: How preemptive scheduling works within FreeRTOS The Arduino startup “loopTask” Message queues FreeRTOS timers and the IDLE task The semaphore, mutex, and their differences The mailbox and its application Real-time task priorities and its effect Interrupt interaction and use with FreeRTOS Queue sets Notifying tasks with events Event groups Critical sections Task local storage The gatekeeper task
