Sound Secrets and Technology What would today’s rock and pop music be without electric lead and bass guitars? These instruments have been setting the tone for more than sixty years. Their underlying sound is determined largely by their electrical components. But, how do they actually work? Almost no one is able to explain this to the true musician with no technical background. This book answers many questions simply, in an easily-understandable manner. For the interested musician (and others), this book unveils, in a simple and well-grounded way, what have, until now, been regarded as manufacturer secrets. The examination explores deep within the guitar, including pickups and electrical environment, so that guitar electronics are no longer considered highly secret. With a few deft interventions, many instruments can be rendered more versatile and made to sound a lot better – in the most cost-effective manner. The author is an experienced electronics professional and active musician. He has thoroughly tested everything described here, in practice.

Ce qui se passe en électronique est par définition invisible à l'oeil nu. L'instrument qui permet précisément de rendre visibles les signaux électriques, celui par le truchement duquel les effets de l'électronique se manifestent à nous, c'est l'oscilloscope. Hélas, quand on commence à faire de l'électronique, c'est souvent sans oscilloscope. Et l'on en est réduit à tâtonner, aussi bien physiquement que mentalement. Le jour où l'on goûte à la visualisation des signaux sur un écran, c'est une révélation. Plus personne ne souhaite se priver de cet enchantement. Pas de retour en arrière. En électronique, si l'on veut progresser dans le plaisir et dans la compréhension, il faut un oscillo. Commence alors une période d'interrogation : comment choisir ? Et à peine cette question-là aura-t-elle trouvé sa réponse, il en viendra une ribambelle d'autres que l'on peut résumer en une seule : comment se servir de l'oscilloscope de telle sorte que ce qu'il affiche corresponde bien à la réalité des signaux ? Dans ce livre, Rémy Mallard, répond clairement à ces questions. Il donne aussi de nombreuses informations pour aider son lecteur à élucider lui-même de nouveaux mystères qui ne manqueront pas de surgir. Ceux qui le connaissent déjà comme l'auteur d'un livre sur l'électronique dont le titre est un programme à lui tout seul : L'électronique pour les débutants qui sèchent les cours mais soudent sans se brûler les doigts, ainsi que d'un livre d'initiation à la programmation des microcontrôleurs PIC, savent qu'ils trouveront ici un ouvrage utile, qu'ils rouvriront souvent.

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 Energy Saving Monitor Which Astronauts are in Orbit?

Clever Tricks with ATmega328 Pro Mini Boards With 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!

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!

Create Models for 3D Printing, CNC Milling, Process Communication and Documentation Engineers dread designing 3D models using traditional modeling software. OpenSCAD takes a refreshing and completely different approach. Create your models by arranging geometric solids in a JavaScript-like language, and use them with your 3D printer, CNC mill, or process communication. OpenSCAD differs from other design systems in that it uses programmatical modeling. Your model is made up of primitives that are invoked using a C-, Java- or Python-like language. This approach to model design is close to the “mechanical work” done in the real world and appeals to engineers and others who are not a member of the traditional creative class. OpenSCAD also provides a wide variety of comfort functions that break the 1:1 relationship between code and geometry. This book demonstrates the various features of the programming language using practical examples such as a replacement knob for a LeCroy oscilloscope, a wardrobe hanger, a container for soap dispensers, and various other real-life examples. Written by an engineer with over 15 years of experience, this book is intended for Linux and Windows users alike. If you have programming experience in any language, this book will have you producing practical three-dimensional objects in short order!

Dit bundel bevat de populaire Elektor zandklok voor Raspberry Pi Pico en de nieuwe Elektor laserkop upgrade, en biedt daarmee nog meer mogelijkheden om de tijd weer te geven. U kunt de actuele tijd nu niet alleen in zand "graveren", maar ook op een lichtgevende folie schrijven of groene tekeningen maken. Inhoud van de bundel Elektor Zandklok voor Raspberry Pi Pico (normale prijs: € 50) Elektor Laserkop Upgrade voor Zandklok (normale prijs: € 35) Zandklok voor Raspberry Pi (een op de Raspberry Pi Pico gebaseerde Eye Catcher) Een standaard zandklok laat meestal slechts zien hoe de tijd verstrijkt. Deze door een Raspberry Pi Pico aangestuurde zandklok toont daarentegen de exacte tijd door de vier cijfers voor uren en minuten in een zandlaag te "graveren". Na een vooraf ingestelde periode wordt het zand door twee trilmotoren vlak getrild en begint alles weer van voren af aan. Het hart van de zandklok wordt gevormd door twee servomotoren, die via een pantograafmechanisme een schrijfpen aandrijven. Een derde servomotor tilt deze pen op en neer. Het zandbakje is voorzien van twee trilmotoren om het zand weer vlak te trillen. Het elektronische deel van de zandklok bestaat uit een Raspberry Pi Pico en een RTC/driverbord met een real-time klok, plus drivercircuits voor de servomotoren. Een gedetailleerde bouwhandleiding is beschikbaar via download. Kenmerken Afmetingen: 135 x 110 x 80 mm Bouwtijd: ca. 1,5 tot 2 uur Inbegrepen 3x Voorgesneden acrylaatplaten met alle mechanische onderdelen 3x Mini servomotoren 2x Trilmotoren 1x Raspberry Pi Pico 1x RTC/driverkaart met geassembleerde onderdelen Moeren, boutjes, afstandhouders en draden voor de montage Fijnkorrelig wit zand Elektor Laserkop Upgrade voor Zandklok De nieuwe Elektor Laserkop transformeert de Elektor Zandklok in een klok die de tijd op glow-in-the-dark-film schrijft in plaats van op zand. Naast het weergeven van de tijd kan het ook worden gebruikt om kortstondige tekeningen te maken. De 5 mW laserpointer, met een golflengte van 405 nm, produceert heldergroene tekeningen op de glow-in-the-dark-film. Voor het beste resultaat gebruikt u de kit in een slecht verlichte kamer. Waarschuwing: Kijk nooit rechtstreeks in de laserstraal! De kit bevat alle benodigde componenten, maar het solderen van drie draden is vereist. Opmerking: Deze kit is ook compatibel met de originele Arduino-gebaseerde Zandklok uit 2017. Voor meer details, zie Elektor 1-2/2017 en Elektor 1-2/2018.

From SRPP and Mu-Follower to OTL Designs Tube amplifiers suffer from distortion. Fortunately, circuits such as the SRPP amplifier, mu-follower, and beta-follower produce minimal distortion even at output voltages of 50 to 100 Vpeak. These designs are often published with errors. Without a sound understanding of the theory, it is easy to arrive at a flawed design. In the first section of this book, we investigate the origin of distortion, while in the second we investigate the design of and SRPP and a mu-follower. On the internet we can find the most exotic designs. Evaluating them teaches us that these designs often make matters worse rather than better. In the chapter on incorrect SRPPs and mu-followers, we sometimes see bizarre and misguided designs where using a simple single-triode amplifier would perform much better. Push-pull output stages also exist. A great number of them are examined, and their similarity to the SRPP is discussed. This is done especially with the help of the theory behind the OTL based on the ‘mother’ of all OTLs, the Philips HF303. Finally, attention is given to frequency characteristics and technical matters such as the supply voltage and the filament power supply. To illustrate these points, there are a few designs covering the subjects discussed. This book presents much new theory that has not been published before. It is often an eye-opener, showing that many things have a beautiful and unexpected simplicity.

You’ll begin with the essentials: signals, devices for working with them, and what "logic 0" and "logic 1" mean in real hardware. Simple demonstration setups made from easy-to-find parts (LEDs, diodes, resistors, switches) help you see how logic behaves, making the theory click before you move on. From there, you’ll explore a wide range of logic elements and how they’re implemented, including classic logic families such as TTL and CMOS. The fundamentals section covers the building blocks of digital systems: flip-flops, Schmitt triggers, registers, counters and dividers, encoders/ decoders, multiplexers/demultiplexers, plus A/D and D/A conversion and timing circuits. Next, the book invites you into "new ideas" in digital electronics—universal logic elements, unconventional approaches (including thyristor-based and fractional logic), and creative logic functions that can inspire original designs. Finally, a large, well-organized collection of application circuits turns knowledge into projects: electronic switches and selectors, pulse generators, PWM regulators, frequency multipliers/dividers, phase shifters, and digital filters. Study it deeply, and you’ll gain not only understanding—but the ability to design and debug digital circuits independently.
