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.

Cool Projects for Test, Measurement, and Control
The Raspberry Pi has dominated the maker scene for many years. Freely accessible I/O pins have made it one of the most popular processor boards of all time. However, the classic Raspberry Pi has no analog inputs. Direct measurement of analog values is therefore not possible. Consequently, photodiodes, NTCs, Hall sensors, etc. cannot be read directly. In addition, the pins are connected directly to the exposed contacts, i.e. without a driver or protection circuit. This can quickly destroy the central controller and thus the entire Raspberry Pi.
These problems can be elegantly solved with the Pico. As a front-end, it can easily handle a wide range of measurement tasks. In addition, the Pico is much cheaper than a classic Raspberry Pi 4 or 5. If a faulty circuit leads to the destruction of the Pico, this is relatively easy to handle. This makes the combination of a classic Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 and the Pico an ideal pair.
The book introduces the broad and highly topical field of modern controller technology using the combined force of a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 and a Raspberry Pi Pico. In addition to a detailed introduction to the operation and functionality of the controller boards themselves, the book also focuses on data acquisition and processing with digital processors. Especially the combination of both systems offers a wide range of interesting possibilities.
Some practical projects from the contents:
USB between Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 and Pico
I²C Communication and Pico as an I²C device
Voltmeter and Computer Thermometer
Pico W as a Web Server and WLAN Scanner
Frequency Meters and Generators
OLED Displays on Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 and Pico

3rd Edition – Fully updated for Raspberry Pi 4
The Raspberry Pi is a very cheap but complete computer system that allows all sorts of electronics parts and extensions to be connected. This book addresses one of the strongest aspects of the Raspberry Pi: the ability to combine hands-on electronics and programming.
Combine hands-on electronics and programming
After a short introduction to the Raspberry Pi you proceed with installing the required software. The SD card that can be purchased in conjunction with this book contains everything to get started with the Raspberry Pi. At the side of the (optional) Windows PC, software is used which is free for downloading. The book continues with a concise introduction to the Linux operating system, after which you start programming in Bash, Python 3 and Javascript. Although the emphasis is on Python, the coverage is brief and to the point in all cases – just enabling you to grasp the essence of all projects and start adapting them to your requirements. All set, you can carry on with fun projects.
The book is ideal for self-study
No fewer than 45 exciting and compelling projects are discussed and elaborated in detail. From a flashing lights to driving an electromotor; from processing and generating analog signals to a lux meter and a temperature control. We also move to more complex projects like a motor speed controller, a web server with CGI, client-server applications and Xwindows programs.
Each project has details of the way it got designed that way
The process of reading, building, and programming not only provides insight into the Raspberry Pi, Python, and the electronic parts used, but also enables you to modify or extend the projects any way you like. Also, feel free to combine several projects into a larger design.
Programming and Projects for the Minima and WiFi
Based on the low-cost 8-bit ATmega328P processor, the Arduino Uno R3 board is likely to score as the most popular Arduino family member so far, and this workhorse has been with us for many years. Recently, the new Arduino Uno R4 was released, based on a 48-MHz, 32-bit Cortex-M4 processor with a huge amount of SRAM and flash memory. Additionally, a higher-precision ADC and a new DAC are added to the design. The new board also supports the CAN Bus with an interface.
Two versions of the board are available: Uno R4 Minima, and Uno R4 WiFi. This book is about using these new boards to develop many different and interesting projects with just a handful of parts and external modules, which are available as a kit from Elektor. All projects described in the book have been fully tested on the Uno R4 Minima or the Uno R4 WiFi board, as appropriate.
The project topics include the reading, control, and driving of many components and modules in the kit as well as on the relevant Uno R4 board, including
LEDs
7-segment displays (using timer interrupts)
LCDs
Sensors
RFID Reader
4×4 Keypad
Real-time clock (RTC)
Joystick
8×8 LED matrix
Motors
DAC (Digital-to-analog converter)

Learn to 3D Model & 3D Print with Tinkercad
With this book and the complementary videos, you’ll be 3D printing in no time at all. This course is meant to have you make casings for electronic components but also goes into optimizing your print technique as well as adding a little flair to your 3D creations. The course is perfect for you if you just bought your (first) 3D printer and want to print your own designs as soon as possible while also being able to get more background information.
You’ll get to know the workings of a 3D printer and what software to use to model your object, not forgetting to make it print perfectly. We’ll even use the magic of 3D printing to create things that appear impossible to make (this fast and simple) with any other rapid-prototyping technique.
At the end of this course, it’ll be second nature for you to design an object for 3D printing and fine-tune your print-setting to get the perfect print!
The book includes the following 7 video tutorials:
Introduction
Basic 3D modeling for 3D printing
Modeling a casing
Post-processing
Pushing the limits
Movable parts

With the availability of free and open source C/C++ compilers today, you might wonder why someone would be interested in assembler language. What is so compelling about the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)? How does RISC-V differ from existing architectures? And most importantly, how do we gain experience with the RISC-V without a major investment? Is there affordable hardware available?
The availability of the Espressif ESP32-C3 chip provides a way to get hands-on experience with RISC-V. The open sourced QEMU emulator adds a 64-bit experience in RISC-V under Linux. These are just two ways for the student and enthusiast alike to explore RISC-V in this book.
The projects in this book are boiled down to the barest essentials to keep the assembly language concepts clear and simple. In this manner you will have “aha!” moments rather than puzzling about something difficult. The focus in this book is about learning how to write RISC-V assembly language code without getting bogged down. As you work your way through this tutorial, you’ll build up small demonstration programs to be run and tested. Often the result is some simple printed messages to prove a concept. Once you’ve mastered these basic concepts, you will be well equipped to apply assembly language in larger projects.
