20 jaar geleden waren robots gebaseerd op eenvoudige 8-bit processoren en aanraaksensoren de norm. Nu is het mogelijk om multi-core robots te bouwen die met intelligentie op hun omgeving kunnen reageren. De robots van vandaag combineren sensorgegevens van versnellingsmeters, gyroscopen en computer vision-sensoren om hun omgeving te leren kennen. Ze kunnen reageren met geavanceerde controlealgoritmen en ze kunnen gegevens zowel lokaal als in de cloud verwerken. Dit boek, dat de theorie en best practices behandelt die samenhangen met geavanceerde robottechnologieën, is geschreven om robotici, zowel hobbyisten als professionals, te helpen hun ontwerpen naar een hoger niveau te tillen. Zoals zal blijken, vereist het bouwen van geavanceerde toepassingen geen extreem dure robottechnologie. Alles wat nodig is, is simpelweg de kennis van welke technologieën er zijn en hoe je ze het beste kunt gebruiken. Elk hoofdstuk in dit boek introduceert een van deze verschillende technologieën en bespreekt hoe deze het best kan worden gebruikt in een robotica-toepassing. Aan de hardwarekant behandelen we microcontrollers, servo's en sensoren, zodat u hopelijk geïnspireerd wordt om uw eigen ontzagwekkende systemen van de volgende generatie te ontwerpen. Aan de softwarekant behandelen we programmeertalen, debugging, algoritmen en toestandsmachines. We richten ons op de Arduino, de Parallax Propeller, Revolution Education PICAXE en projecten waarbij ik betrokken ben geweest, waaronder de TBot educatieve robot, de PropScope oscilloscoop, de 12Blocks visuele programmeertaal en de ViewPort ontwikkelomgeving. Daarnaast geven we een uitgebreide introductie tot een aantal essentiële onderwerpen, waaronder output (bv. LED's, servomotoren) en communicatietechnologieën (bv. infrarood, audio), die je kunt gebruiken om systemen te ontwikkelen die reageren op stimuli en communiceren met mensen en andere robots. Om deze onderwerpen zo toegankelijk mogelijk te maken zijn handige schema's, voorbeeldcode en praktische tips met betrekking tot bouwen en debuggen opgenomen.

This e-book is intended for electronics enthusiasts and professionals alike, who want a much deeper understanding of the incredible technology conquests over the pre-digital decades that created video. It details evolution of analogue video electronics and technology from the first electro-mechanical television, through advancements in Cathode Ray Tubes, transistor circuits and signal processing, up to the latest analogue, colour-rich TV, entertainment devices and calibration equipment. Key technological advances that enabled monochrome video and, eventually, colour are explained. The importance, compromises and techniques of maintaining crucial backward legacy compatibilities are described. The generation, signal processing and playback of analogue video signals in numerous capture, display, recording and playback devices together with operating principles and practices are examined. Technical and, often, political merits and deficiencies of key national and international video standards are highlighted. Several formats are shown to win and ultimately to co-exist. This e-book begins at fairly basic levels; concepts are introduced with human physiological perceptions of light and colour explained. This leads to the subject matter of luminance and chrominance; their equations and the circuits to process. There is full, detailed analysis of waveform shapes and timings inside video equipment and relevant popular connections e.g. S-video. Several analogue video projects which you can build yourself are also included in this book; with schematics, circuit board layouts and calibration steps to help you obtain the best results. The book makes use of many colour pages where the subject matter demands it (e.g. test cards). If you really want a deeper understanding of analogue video then this e-book is for you!

Clever Tricks with ATmega328 Pro Mini BoardsWith a simple Pro Mini board and a few other components, projects that 20 or 30 years ago were unthinkable (or would have cost a small fortune) are realized easily and affordably in this book: From simple LED effects to a full battery charging and testing station that will put a rechargeable through its paces, there’s something for everyone.All the projects are based on the ATmega328 microcontroller, which offers endless measuring, switching, and control options with its 20 input and output lines. For example, with a 7-segment display and a few resistors, you can build a voltmeter or an NTC-based thermometer. The Arduino platform offers the perfect development environment for programming this range of boards.Besides these very practical projects, the book also provides the necessary knowledge for you to create projects based on your own ideas. How to measure, and what? Which transistor is suitable for switching a certain load? When is it better to use an IC? How do you switch mains voltage? Even LilyPad-based battery-operated projects are discussed in detail, as well as many different motors, from simple DC motors to stepper motors.Sensors are another exciting topic: For example, a simple infrared receiver that can give disused remote controls a new lease on life controlling your home, and a tiny component that can actually measure the difference in air pressure between floor and table height!

Two reasons can be identified for the immense success of the Arduino platform. First, the cheap, ready to go processor board greatly simplifies the introduction to hardware. The second success factor is the free and open-source programming suite that does not require an installation procedure. Simple entry-level examples ensure rapid successes. Complex selection procedures for parameters like the microprocessor version or interface settings are not required. The first sample programs can be uploaded to the Arduino board, and tested, in a matter of minutes. The Arduino user is supported by an array of software libraries. However, the daily increasing volume of libraries poses initial problems to the newcomer, and the way ahead may be uncertain after a few entry-level examples. In many cases, detailed descriptions are missing, and poorly described projects tend to confuse rather than elucidate. Clear guidance and a single motto are missing, usually owing to the projects having been created by several different persons?all with different aims in mind. This book represents a different approach. All projects are presented in a systematical manner, guiding into various theme areas. In the coverage of must-know theory great attention is given to practical directions users can absorb, including essential programming techniques like A/D conversion, timers and interrupts?all contained in the hands-on projects. In this way readers of the book create running lights, a wakeup light, fully functional voltmeters, precision digital thermometers, clocks of many varieties, reaction speed meters, or mouse controlled robotic arms. While actively working on these projects the reader gets to truly comprehend and master the basics of the underlying controller technology.
