Quite unintentionally a one-page story on an old Heathkit tube tester in the December 2004 edition of Elektor magazine spawned dozens of ‘Retronics’ tales appearing with a monthly cadence, and attracting a steady flow of reader feedback and contributions to the series. Since launching his Retronics columns, Elektor Editor Jan Buiting has never been short of copy to print, or vintage equipment to marvel at. This book is a compilation of about 80 Retronics installments published between 2004 and 2012. The stories cover vintage test equipment, prehistoric computers, long forgotten components, and Elektor blockbuster projects, all aiming to make engineers smile, sit up, object, drool, or experience a whiff of nostalgia. To reflect that our memories are constantly playing tricks on us, and honoring that “one man’s rubbish is another man’s gem”, the tales in the book purposely have no chronological order, and no bias in favor of transistor or tube, microprocessor or discrete part, audio or RF, DIY or professional, dry or narrative style. Although vastly diff erent in subject matter, all tales in the book are told with personal gusto because Retronics is about sentiment in electronics engineering, construction and repair, be it to reminisce about a 1960s Tektronix scope with a cleaning lady as a feature, or a 1928 PanSanitor box for dubious medical use. Owners of this book are advised to not exceed one Retronics tale per working day, preferably consumed in the evening hours under lamp light, in a comfortable chair, with a piece of vintage electronic equipment close and powered up.

50 maal 'elektronica van vroeger'. In het januarinummer 2005 van het elektronica-maandblad Elektor zag de rubriek 'Retrotronica' voor het eerst het licht. Onder supervisie van Elektor-redacteur Jan Buiting wordt sindsdien elke maand een stukje 'elektronica van vroeger' opgerakeld. Tegenwoordig worden de meeste elektronische schakelingen opgebouwd rond een microcontroller die het 'denkwerk' voor zijn rekening neemt. Nog niet zo heel lang geleden echter bestonden die dingen nog niet (of waren ze onbetaalbaar); niettemin slaagden de ontwerpers van toen er (naar huidige maatstaven) verbijsterend goed in om uiterst betrouwbaar en nauwkeurig werkende schakelingen en apparatuur te bouwen. Veel apparaten blijken, na jaren op een stoffige zolder of in een vochtige kelder te hebben gestaan, na een schoonmaakactie nog perfect te functioneren -- er is dus geen reden om de 'elektronica van vroeger' met een meewarige blik te bekijken; integendeel: het zijn vaak wondertjes van vernuft en vakmanschap! In dit boek hebben we 50 bijdragen uit de rubriek 'Retrotronica' voor u gebundeld - een must voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in 'oude' elektronica of in de geschiedenis van het maandblad Elektor (destijds Elektuur), aangezien enkele 'klassieke' Elektuur-schakelingen prominent aan bod komen!

RFID technology has conquered many areas in which barcodes, magnetic strips and contact smartcards were used previously. Everyday applications, such as electronic ticketing, access cards, debit cards and electronic identity documents would not be possible without this technology. MIFARE is the most widely used RFID technology, and this book provides a practical and comprehensive introduction to it. Among other things, the initial chapters cover physical fundamentals, relevant standards, RFID antenna design, security considerations and cryptography. The complete design of a reader’s hardware and software is described in detail. The reader’s firmware and the associated PC software support programming using any .NET language. The specially developed PC program, “Smart Card Magic.NET”, is a simple development environment that supports sending commands to a card at the click of a mouse, as well as the ability to create C# scripts. Alternatively, one may follow all of the examples using Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition. Finally, the major smart card reader API standards are introduced. The focus is on programming contactless smartcards using standard PC/SC readers using C/C++, Java and C#.

This rigid end effector plate is designed to be in place of the standard AxiDraw pen-lift Z stage, and provides an alternative mounting scheme for mounting various things to the end of the AxiDraw's arm, for applications where greater rigidity is important but the lifting ability of the standard Z stage is not required. The rigid end effector is custom machined from aluminum, and provides six M3 tapped holes and two M4 tapped holes for mounting what ever it is that you would like to mount to the end of the AxiDraw, to use it as a 2D robot arm. The hole pattern is compatible with the AxiDraw pen clip, so you can, if you like, mount the AxiDraw's pen clip to this end effector. Installation is straightforward, but requires a Pozidrive PZ2 screwdriver, not included*. Remove the AxiDraw's pen clip, and then remove the pen-lift Z stage by removing two screws with the PZ2 screwdriver. Install the rigid end effector plate in its place, using the two included mounting screws and the PZ2 screwdriver. You may wish to also tie back or fully remove the AxiDraw's cable guides, which normally extend to power the pen-lift stage. Specifications Material: Anodized 6061-T6 aluminum Size: 1.97 x 1.38 x 0.19 inches (50 x 35 x 4.8 mm) Weight: Approximately 11 g Mounting hardware: included (Two M4x12 pozidrive-head self-tapping screws) Compatibility All AxiDraw V3 family pen plotters AxiDraw V3/A3 AxiDraw SE/A3 AxiDraw MiniKit models

De RTL-SDR is een betaalbare dongle die kan worden gebruikt als een computer-ondersteunde radioscanner voor het ontvangen van live radiosignalen tussen 500 kHz en 1,75 GHz bij u in de buurt. Deze RTL-SDR V4 heeft verschillende verbeteringen waaronder het gebruik van de R828D tunerchip, een triplex ingangsfilter, een notchfilter, verbeterde componenttoleranties, een 1 PPM temperatuur-gecompenseerde oscillator (TCXO), een SMA F-connector, aluminium behuizing met passieve koeling, bias T-circuit, verbeterde voeding en een ingebouwde HF upconverter. RTL-SDR V4 wordt geleverd met een draagbare dipool antennekit. Het is een geweldig apparaat voor beginners omdat hij terrestrial en satellietontvangst mogelijk maakt, gemakkelijk buitenshuis kan worden gemonteerd, en geschikt is voor draagbaar en tijdelijk gebruik onderweg. Kenmerken Verbeterde HF-ontvangst: De V4 maakt gebruik van een ingebouwde upconverter in plaats van een direct sampling circuit. Dit betekent dat er geen gebruik meer hoeft te worden gemaakt wordt van de Nyquist-frequentie van rond de 14,4 MHz, wat een verbeterde gevoeligheid en een instelbare versterking op HF mogelijk maakt. Net als bij de V3 blijft het laagste afstembereik 500 kHz en kan bij een zeer sterk ontvangstsignaal nog steeds front-end verzwakking/filtering nodig zijn. Verbeterde filtering: De V4 maakt gebruik van de R828D tunerchip die drie ingangen heeft. De SMA ingang is drievoudig uitgevoerd voor 3 banden: HF, VHF en UHF. Dit zorgt voor enige isolatie tussen de 3 banden, wat betekent dat out-of-band interferentie van sterke zenders minder snel verminderde gevoeligheid of spiegelsignalen kan veroorzaken. Verbeterde filtering x2: Naast de triplex ingang kan ook de open drain pin op de R828D worden gebruikt. Hierop kunnen eenvoudige notch-filters worden aangesloten voor bekende banden qua interferentie, zoals de AM en FM omroepbanden en de DAB-banden. Deze dempen slechts met een paar dB maar kunnen nog steeds van nut zijn. Verminderde faseruis op sterke signalen: Door een verbeterd ontwerp van de voeding is de faseruis als gevolg van ruis uit de voeding aanzienlijk verminderd. Minder warmte: Een ander voordeel van de verbeterde voeding is een lager stroomverbruik en minder warmteontwikkeling in vergelijking met de V3.
