Le monde de l'électronique est à la fois vaste et… tout petit ! Voici un livre qui confirme ces deux constatations contradictoires. En effet, en électronique, tout touche à tout, d'une manière ou d'une autre. Le plus petit détail peut avoir les plus grandes conséquences, et pas toujours celles que l'on attendrait.
L'objectif de l'auteur de cette série d'articles autonomes intitulée hors-circuits, réunis ici en un livre, n'est pas de vous tenir par la main. Robert Lacoste, électronicien professionnel de haut-niveau, vous donne des pistes pour comprendre ce qui paraît mystérieux. Il vous guide juste assez pour vous permettre ensuite de progresser tout seul. Avec lui, non seulement vous repousserez vos propres limites, mais saurez aussi détecter celles du matériel et du logiciel que vous utilisez. En vous invitant à repasser par les notions de physique de base, il vous permettra de séparer les véritables progrès techniques des laïus commerciaux.
Les bases, ça peut mener loin
D'où vient la sensibilité d'un récepteur d'ondes radio ? Pourquoi le téléchargement d'une vidéo sur votre portable est-il beaucoup plus lent à la campagne qu'en centre-ville ? Si pour vous la réponse technique à des questions comme celles-ci (et bien d'autres que vous n'osez peut-être même pas vous poser) n'est pas évidente, ce livre vous aidera à y voir plus clair. Oui, on peut être à l'aise avec les microcontrôleurs, mais dérouté par le comportement d'un simple transistor. Vous sentez-vous concerné par de telles interrogations ? Ce livre est donc pour vous.
Sans aucune formule mathématique qui ne soit pas à la portée d'un lycéen, il balaye tout le champ de l'électronique, depuis l'analogique jusqu'au traitement numérique du signal en passant par le domaine si redouté des hautes-fréquences. La théorie ne s'y éloigne jamais beaucoup de la loi d'Ohm ! Avec des mots simples, l'auteur explique comment ça marche, pourquoi parfois ça ne marche pas comme on veut, et comment mieux utiliser différentes techniques dans vos propres projets pour que ça marche.

Raspberry Pi 5 provides two four-lane MIPI connectors, each of which can support either a camera or a display. These connectors use the same 22-way, 0.5 mm-pitch “mini” FPC format as the Compute Module Development Kit, and require adapter cables to connect to the 15-way, 1 mm-pitch “standard” format connectors on current Raspbery Pi camera and display products.These mini-to-standard adapter cables for cameras and displays (note that a camera cable should not be used with a display, and vice versa) are available in 200 mm, 300 mm and 500 mm lengths.
The PC has long-time outgrown its function as a pure computer and has become an all-purpose machine. This book is targeted towards those people that want to control existing or self-built hardware from their computer. Using Visual Basic as Rapid Application Development tool we will take you on a journey to unlock the world beyond the connectors of the PC. After familiarising yourself with Visual Basic, its development environment and the toolset it offers, items such as serial communications, printer ports, bit-banging, protocol emulation, ISA, USB and Ethernet interfacing and the remote control of test-equipment over the GPIB bus, are covered in extent. Each topic is accompanied by clear, ready to run code, and where necessary, schematics are provided that will get your projects up to speed in no time. This book will show you advanced things like: using tools like Debug to find hardware addresses, setting up remote communication using TCP/IP and UDP sockets and even writing your own internet servers. Or how about connecting your own block of hardware over USB or Ethernet and controlling it from Visual Basic. Other things like internet-program communication, DDE and the new graphics interface of Windows XP are covered as well. All examples are ready to compile using Visual Basic 5.0, 6.0, NET or 2005. Extensive coverage is given on the differences between what could be called Visual Basic Classic and Visual basic .NET / 2005.

STmicroelectronics’ wireless IoT & wearable sensor development kit
‘SensorTile.box’ is a portable multi-sensor circuit board housed in a plastic box and developed by STMicroelectronics. It is equipped with a high-performance 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 processor with DSP and FPU, and various sensor modules, such as accelerometer, gyroscope, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, atmospheric pressure sensor, microphone, and so on. SensorTile.box is ready to use with wireless IoT and Bluetooth connectivity that can easily be used with an iOS or Android compatible smartphone, regardless of the level of expertise of the users. SensorTile.box is shipped with a long-life battery and all the user has to do is connect the battery to the circuit to start using the box.
The SensorTile.box can be operated in three modes: Basic mode, Expert mode, and Pro mode. Basic mode is the easiest way of using the box since it is pre-loaded with demo apps and all the user has to do is choose the required apps and display or plot the measured data on a smartphone using an app called STE BLE Sensor. In Expert mode users can develop simple apps using a graphical wizard provided with the STE BLE Sensor. Pro mode is the most complex mode allowing users to develop programs and upload them to the SensorTile.box.
This book is an introduction to the SensorTile.box and includes the following:
Brief specifications of the SensorTile.box; description of how to install the STE BLE Sensor app on an iOS or Android compatible smartphone required to communicate with the box.
Operation of the SensorTile.box in Basic mode is described in detail by going through all of the pre-loaded demo apps, explaining how to run these apps through a smartphone.
An introduction to the Expert mode with many example apps developed and explained in detail enabling users to develop their own apps in this mode. Again, the STE BLE Sensor app is used on the smartphone to communicate with the SensorTile.box and to run the developed apps.
The book then describes in detail how to upload the sensor data to the cloud. This is an important topic since it allows the sensor measurements to be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection, at any time.
Finally, Pro mode is described in detail where more experienced people can use the SensorTile.box to develop, debug, and test their own apps using the STM32 open development environment (STM32 ODE). The Chapter explains how to upload the developed firmware to the SensorTile.box using several methods. Additionally, the installation and use of the Unicleo-GUI package is described with reference to the SensorTile.box. This PC software package enables all of the SensorTile.box sensor measurements to be displayed or plotted in real time on the PC.

This 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 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 book is for you!

Mastering the Language and the Development Platform
Many people would like to learn Java but getting started is not easy since programming with Java requires at least two things: mastering the programming language and the development environment. With the help of many examples, this book shows how the language is structured. In addition, it employs the Eclipse development environment as an example of a powerful tool to teach developing Java programs.
In Basics, the first part of the book, you acquire your Java and Eclipse basic knowledge. This part lays the programming foundations, gives you an overview of Java technology, and shows you what is special about object-oriented programming.
In the second part called Java Language, everything revolves around the subtleties of the Java language and this is where the first small Java applications are created, aided by a fine blend of the knowledge part and practical exercises.
Java Technology is both the name and the focus of the third part which also introduces you to the rules to observe when programming, what class libraries are and what advantages they have. In addition, you will learn how to test programs, what algorithms are, and how to program them.
The fourth part, Java Projects, enables you to apply all the previous elements in an application with a graphical user interface. The project shows how to develop a larger application piece by piece with the Eclipse development environment. The Appendix concludes with a section on frequent errors that can occur when working with Eclipse, and a Glossary.
As demand for solar panel installation has risen sharply, especially for installations larger than balcony power plants, the order books of solar companies are full. If you ask for a quote today, you may have to wait a while, if your request isn't simply postponed indefinitely. Another consequence of the solar boom is that some companies are charging very high prices for installations.
Yet there is an obvious and radical solution to the problem of excessive prices: Do it yourself, as the English say. The price of materials is currently affordable, and it's the ideal time for those who do the work themselves. They couldn't save more. Add to this the satisfaction of doing something useful, both economically and ecologically, and the pleasure of building yourself.
In this special issue, you'll find a wide selection of Elektor assemblies, from solar panel controllers to solar water heaters and solar panel orientation systems. The issue also contains practical information on solar panel installation and the technology behind them. Finally, there are a number of articles on the subject of balcony power plants, from how to install them to how to connect them to the Internet...

De SparkFun GPS-RTK2 verhoogt de lat voor hoge precisie GPS en is de nieuwste in een reeks van krachtige RTK kaarten met de ZED-F9P module van u-blox. De ZED-F9P is een top-of-the-line module voor hoge nauwkeurigheid GNSS en GPS locatie-oplossingen, met inbegrip van RTK in staat tot 10mm, drie-dimensionale nauwkeurigheid. Met deze kaart, zult u in staat zijn om te weten waar uw (of een object) X, Y, en Z locatie is binnen ruwweg de breedte van uw vingernagel! De ZED-F9P is uniek omdat hij zowel als rover als basis station kan werken. Door gebruik te maken van ons handige Qwiic systeem, hoeft u niet te solderen om hem aan te sluiten op de rest van uw systeem. We hebben echter nog steeds 0,1'-spaced pinnen als u liever een breadboard gebruikt. We hebben zelfs een oplaadbare backupbatterij ingebouwd om de laatste moduleconfiguratie en satellietgegevens tot twee weken lang beschikbaar te houden. Deze batterij helpt bij het 'warm-starten' van de module, waardoor de tijd tot de eerste fix drastisch wordt verkort. Deze module beschikt over een survey-in modus waardoor de module een basisstation kan worden en RTCM 3.x correctiegegevens kan produceren. Het aantal configuratiemogelijkheden van de ZED-F9P is ongelofelijk! Geofencing, variabel I2C-adres, variabele updatefrequenties, zelfs de hoge precisie RTK-oplossing kan worden verhoogd tot 20Hz. De GPS-RTK2 heeft zelfs vijf communicatiepoorten die allemaal tegelijk actief zijn: USB-C (die als COM-poort wordt geteld), UART1 (met 3,3V TTL), UART2 voor RTCM-ontvangst (met 3,3V TTL), I2C (via de twee Qwiic-connectoren of uitgevallen pinnen), en SPI. Sparkfun heeft ook een uitgebreide Arduino bibliotheek voor u-blox modules geschreven om de GPS-RTK2 gemakkelijk uit te lezen en te besturen via het Qwiic Connect System. Laat NMEA achter! Begin met het gebruik van een veel lichter gewicht binaire interface en geef je microcontroller (en zijn ene seriële poort) een pauze. De SparkFun Arduino bibliotheek laat zien hoe je breedtegraad, lengtegraad, zelfs koers en snelheid over I2C kunt lezen zonder de noodzaak van constante seriële polling. Features Parallel ontvangst van GPS, GLONASS, Galileo en BeiDou Ontvangt zowel L1C/A als L2C banden Spanning: 5 V of 3,3 V, maar alle logica is 3,3 V Stroom: 68 mA - 130 mA (varieert met constellaties en volgstatus) Tijd tot eerste fix: 25 s (koud), 2 s (warm) Maximale navigatiesnelheid: PVT (basis locatie over UBX binair protocol) - 25 Hz RTK - 20 Hz Raw - 25 Hz Horizontale Positie Nauwkeurigheid: 2,5 m zonder RTK 0,010 m met RTK Max Hoogte: 50k m Max Snelheid: 500 m/s Gewicht: 6.8 g Afmetingen: 43,5 mm x 43,2 mm 2 x Qwiic aansluitingen
Je zou Pirate Audio Headphone Amp kunnen gebruiken om een nette, zakformaat speler te bouwen voor lokale audiobestanden (MP3, FLAC, etc) of voor het streamen van muziek van online diensten zoals Spotify. Om je op weg te helpen heeft Pimoroni plugins gebouwd voor Mopidy waarmee je prachtige album art kunt weergeven, je tracks kunt afspelen/pauzeren en het volume kunt regelen. De DAC en hoofdtelefoonversterker geven je heldere digitaal versterkte audio via je hoofdtelefoon met kabel. Pirate Audio is een reeks van alles-in-een audio boards voor Raspberry Pi, met hoge kwaliteit digitale audio, prachtig heldere IPS displays voor album art, tactiele knoppen voor playback controle, en een aangepaste Pirate Audio software en installer om het opzetten van dit allemaal een fluitje van een cent te maken.Functies

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#.
