Avec une simple carte Pro Mini et quelques autres composants, des projets qui étaient impensables il y a 20 ou 30 ans (ou qui auraient coûté une petite fortune) sont réalisés facilement et à un prix abordable dans ce livre. Des simples effets LED à une station complète de chargement et de test de batteries qui mettra une batterie rechargeable à l'épreuve, il y en a pour tous les goûts. Tous les projets sont basés sur le microcontrôleur ATmega328, qui offre des possibilités infinies de mesure, de commutation et de contrôle grâce à ses 20 portes d'entrée et de sortie. Par exemple, avec un affichage à 7 segments et quelques résistances, vous pouvez construire un voltmètre ou un thermomètre à base de NTC. La plateforme Arduino offre l'environnement de développement idéal pour programmer cette gamme de cartes. Outre ces projets très pratiques, le livre fournit également les connaissances nécessaires pour vous permettre de créer des projets à partir de vos propres idées. Comment mesurer, et quoi ? Quel transistor convient pour commuter une certaine charge ? Quand est-il préférable d'utiliser un circuit intégré ? Comment commuter la tension du secteur ? Même les projets fonctionnant sur batterie basés sur le LilyPad sont abordés en détail, ainsi que de nombreux moteurs différents, du simple moteur à courant continu au moteur pas à pas. Les capteurs sont un autre sujet passionnant. Par exemple, un simple récepteur infrarouge qui peut donner aux télécommandes désuètes une nouvelle vie en contrôlant votre maison, et un minuscule composant qui peut mesurer la différence de pression de l'air entre le sol et la hauteur de la table !

Elektor Publishing Raspberry Pi 4 OR 5 AND Pico
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?

Elektor Publishing Building a High-Tech Alarm System with Raspberry Pi
This book discusses the basic components of any alarm system. All alarm systems have two basic functions. First, they monitor their environment looking for a change such as a door or window opening or someone moving about in the room. Second, they alert the legal owner or user to this change. The system described in this book uses a scanning type software to detect intruders. It behaves like a guard dog, pacing up and down the fence line on the lookout for either an intruder or a familiar person. If you have an alarm key, you can disarm the system and enter. With the scanning method, the software is easy to write and explain. It can scan eight alarm zones plus two special fire zones in about one second. You don’t have to be an electrical engineer to install an alarm system, just a decent carpenter, painter, and plasterer! Because this alarm system runs on 12 volts, you don’t have to be a licensed electrician either to install it. The alarm system presented here uses Python software on the Raspberry Pi combined with some elementary electronic circuits. The code described in the book, as well as CAD files and a bill of materials for the alarm panel, are available for free downloading. The book provides the reader with examples of typical configurations coming straight from the author‘s experience. After reviewing the hardware components typically used in common alarm systems, the author shows how to plan one yourself. To implement a modular alarm, no matter if it is for a single house or for a business or restaurant, the book shows how to skillfully combine a Raspberry Pi with small auxiliary electronic circuits. These are not installation instructions but food for thought that will enable readers to find a solution to their needs.
