Bouw je eigen vintage radiozender De Elektor AM-zender kit maakt het mogelijk om audio te streamen naar vintage AM-radiotoestellen. Gebaseerd op een Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller-module kan de AM-zender uitzenden op 32 frequenties in de AM-band, van 500 kHz tot 1,6 MHz in 32 stappen van ca. 35 kHz. De frequentie wordt gekozen met een potentiometer en weergegeven op een 0,96" OLED-display. Een drukknop maakt het mogelijk om de zendmodus te schakelen tussen Aan en Uit. Het bereik van de zender hangt af van de antenne. De ingebouwde antenne biedt een bereik van enkele centimeters, waardoor de AM-zender dicht bij of in de radio moet worden geplaatst. Een externe lusantenne (niet inbegrepen) kan worden aangesloten om het bereik te vergroten. De Elektor AM-zender kit wordt geleverd als een bouwpakket dat je zelf op de printplaat moet solderen. Kenmerken De printplaat is compatibel met een Hammond 1593N-behuizing (niet inbegrepen).Een 5 VDC-voeding met micro-USB-connector (bijv. een oude telefoonoplader) is nodig om de kit van stroom te voorzien (niet inbegrepen). Stroomverbruik: 100 mA. De Arduino-software (vereist het RP2040-boards-pakket van Earle Philhower) voor de Elektor AM-zenderkit plus meer informatie is beschikbaar op de Elektor Labs-pagina van dit project.

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.

From Rubbing Amber to Swiping Glass "The story of electricity, told one connection at a time."Why does rubbing amber attract dust? How did we go from that curious effect to a world where screens respond to a single touch? And how did we get from mysterious sparks to tiny chips packed with billions of transistors? For centuries, electricity puzzled and fascinated those who encountered its curious effects—long before it even had a name. From the earliest observations of static charge to the complex electronics that shape our lives today, this book traces the gradual, and often surprising, story of how humanity came to understand and harness this powerful force. This book offers an engaging and accessible account of the people, ideas, and inventions that transformed electricity from a scientific curiosity into the foundation of our digital age. Along the way, you’ll meet a host of inquisitive minds—some famous, others less so—whose persistence and creativity helped unravel the mysteries of the natural world and gave rise to the technologies we now take for granted. Covering everything from Leyden jars and batteries to transistors, microcontrollers and the internet, this book presents a clear and enjoyable overview of electronics and its relatively short, yet rich, history.

Understanding and Using Them Effectively What happens in electronics is invisible to the naked eye. The instrument that allows to accurately visualize electrical signals, the one through which the effects of electronics become apparent to us, is the oscilloscope. Alas, when one first ventures into electronics, it is often without an oscilloscope. And one is left fumbling, both physically and mentally. Observing an electrical signal on a screen for the first time is a revelation. Nobody wishes to forgo that marvel again. There is no turning back. In electronics, if one wishes to progress with both enjoyment and understanding, an oscilloscope is essential. This marks the beginning of a period of questioning: how to choose one? And no sooner is that question answered than a whole string of others arises, which can be summed up in just one: how does one use the oscilloscope in such a way that what it displays truly reflects the reality of the signals? Rémy Mallard is a passionate communicator with a gift for making complex technical subjects understandable and engaging. In this book, he provides clear answers to essential questions about using an oscilloscope and offers a wealth of guidance to help readers explore and understand the electrical signals behind electronic systems. With his accessible style and practical insights, this book is a valuable tool for anyone eager to deepen their understanding of electronics.

Eine Einführung in die Schaltungssimulation LTspice wurde von Mike Engelhardt entwickelt und gehört inzwischen zu Analog Devices. Es handelt sich dabei um ein Programm zur Schaltplanerstellung – einen leistungsstarken, schnellen und kostenlosen SPICE-Simulator sowie um ein Werkzeug zur Darstellung von Kurvenverläufen. Es bietet eine umfangreiche Bauteildatenbank, die weltweit durch SPICE-Modelle unterstützt wird. Mit LTspice kann man schnell und einfach Schaltpläne erstellen. Dank der leistungsfähigen grafischen Ausgabefunktionen lassen sich Spannungen und Ströme in einer Schaltung, die Leistungsaufnahme der Bauteile und viele weitere Parameter darstellen. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, den Entwurf und die Simulation elektronischer Schaltungen mit LTspice zu vermitteln. Es behandelt unter anderem folgende Themen: DC und AC-Schaltungen Kleinsignal- und Z-Dioden Transistorschaltungen inkl. Oszillatoren Tryristor-, Diac- und Triacschaltungen Operationsverstärkerschaltungen inkl. Oszillatoren Der 555 Timer-IC Filter Spannungsregler Optokoppler Erstellung von Spannungskurven Simulation von Logikschaltungen mit der 74HC-Familie SPICE-Modellierung LTspice ist ein äußerst vielseitiges Werkzeug zur Simulation elektronischer Schaltungen mit zahlreichen Funktionen und Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Eine vollständige Behandlung aller Details würde jedoch den Rahmen dieses Buches sprengen. Daher konzentriert sich das Buch auf die gängigsten Themen wie DC- und AC-Analyse, Parametersweep, Übertragungsfunktionen, Oszillatoren, Diagramme und weitere grundlegende Anwendungen. Obwohl es sich um eine Einführung handelt, deckt dieses Buch dennoch die meisten Interessensgebiete all jener ab, die sich mit der Simulation elektronischer Schaltungen beschäftigen.
