Elektor Digital Microcontroller Basics with PIC (E-book)
Dans ce livre, l'auteur présente tous les aspects essentiels de la programmation des microcontrôleurs, sans surcharger le lecteur avec des informations inutiles ou quasi pertinentes. Après avoir lu le livre, vous devriez être capable de comprendre et de programmer des microcontrôleurs 8 bits. L'introduction à la programmation des microcontrôleurs s'effectue à l'aide de microcontrôleurs de la série PIC. Pas vraiment à la pointe de la technologie avec seulement 8 bits, le micro PIC a l'avantage d'être simple à comprendre. Il est proposé dans un boîtier DIP, largement disponible et pas trop complexe. La fiche technique complète du micro PIC est plus courte de plusieurs décennies que la description de l'architecture décrivant la section processeur d'un microcontrôleur avancé. La simplicité a ici ses avantages. Après avoir maîtrisé le fonctionnement fondamental d’un microcontrôleur, vous pourrez facilement entrer plus tard dans le domaine des softcores avancés. Après avoir placé le code assembleur comme langage de programmation exécutif au premier plan dans la première partie du livre, l'auteur atteint un niveau plus profond avec le « C » dans la deuxième partie. Parallèlement au sujet officiel, le livre présente des trucs et astuces, une technologie de mesure intéressante, des aspects pratiques de la programmation des microcontrôleurs, ainsi que des options pratiques pour faciliter le travail, le débogage et la recherche de pannes.

Tout sur les protocoles et leur mise en œuvre avec Arduino Initialement destiné aux véhicules routiers, le réseau CAN (« Controller Area Network ») et son successeur le réseau CAN FD (« Flexible Data ») ont vu leurs champs d’application s’élargir à de nouveaux domaines. L’industrie propose de nombreux modules microcontrôleurs dotés d’une interface CAN et/ou CAN FD. L’environnement de développement Arduino a démocratisé la programmation de ces modules et il existe des bibliothèques qui implémentent un pilote CAN et/ou un pilote CAN FD. La première partie dresse un rapide historique des réseaux CAN et CAN FD et expose la problématique des lignes de transmission en abordant succinctement leur théorie et présentant des résultats de simulation Spice. La deuxième partie est consacrée au réseau CAN, en détaillant successivement la fonction logique du réseau, les transcepteurs, les contrôleurs, la topologie la plus classique (le bus) et d’autres moins courantes, les répéteurs et les passerelles. Les aspects particuliers du protocole, tels que le bit stuffing, l’arbitrage, les trames d’erreur, la détection des erreurs sont exposés. La discussion de la fiabilité du protocole est illustrée par des exemples mettant en évidence ses faiblesses. La troisième partie présente le protocole CAN FD, ses deux variantes CAN FD ISO et CAN FD non ISO, leurs fiabilités, leurs faiblesses, mises en évidence par des exemples. Différents transcepteurs et contrôleurs CAN FD sont décrits. La quatrième partie est dédiée aux applications : comment utiliser les services d’un pilote, concevoir une messagerie, utiliser un analyseur logique. Deux exemples d’application terminent cette partie. Ce livre s’adresse aux amateurs et aux ingénieurs non spécialistes pour comprendre les possibilités qu’offre un réseau CAN et comment on le met en œuvre. Un enseignant trouvera des informations pour approfondir ses connaissances et pour concevoir des travaux pratiques. Une connaissance des microcontrôleurs, de leur programmation, de l’électronique numérique aidera à la lecture des schémas. La connaissance du langage C++ et du langage de simulation électronique Spice facilitera la compréhension des programmes qui sont décrits dans le livre. Tous les codes source sont disponibles sur le dépôt GitHub de l’auteur. Téléchargements GitHub

Elektor Digital Retronics (E-book)
Quite unintentionally a one-page story on an old Heathkit tube tester in the December 2004 edition of Elektor magazine spawned dozens of ‘Retronics’ tales appearing with a monthly cadence, and attracting a steady flow of reader feedback and contributions to the series. Since launching his Retronics columns, Elektor Editor Jan Buiting has never been short of copy to print, or vintage equipment to marvel at. This book is a compilation of about 80 Retronics installments published between 2004 and 2012. The stories cover vintage test equipment, prehistoric computers, long forgotten components, and Elektor blockbuster projects, all aiming to make engineers smile, sit up, object, drool, or experience a whiff of nostalgia. To reflect that our memories are constantly playing tricks on us, and honoring that “one man’s rubbish is another man’s gem”, the tales in the book purposely have no chronological order, and no bias in favor of transistor or tube, microprocessor or discrete part, audio or RF, DIY or professional, dry or narrative style. Although vastly diff erent in subject matter, all tales in the book are told with personal gusto because Retronics is about sentiment in electronics engineering, construction and repair, be it to reminisce about a 1960s Tektronix scope with a cleaning lady as a feature, or a 1928 PanSanitor box for dubious medical use. Owners of this book are advised to not exceed one Retronics tale per working day, preferably consumed in the evening hours under lamp light, in a comfortable chair, with a piece of vintage electronic equipment close and powered up.

Elektor Digital The State of Hollow State Audio (E-book)
The State of Hollow State Audio in the Second Decade of the 21st Century Vacuum-tube (or valve, depending upon which side of the pond you live on) technology spawned the Age of Electronics early in the 20th Century. Until the advent of solid-state electronics near mid-century, hollow-state devices were the only choice. But following the invention of the transistor (after their process fell to reasonable levels), within a couple of decades, the death of vacuum tubes was widely heralded. Yet here we are some five decades later, and hollow-state equipment is enjoying something of a comeback, especially in the music and high-end audio industries. Many issues surround hollow-state audio: Does it produce—as some claim—better sound? If so, is there science to back up these claims? How do hollow-state circuits work? How do you design hollow-state audio circuits? If hollow-state equipment fails, how do you go about troubleshooting and repairing it? Can we recreate some of the classic hollow-state audio devices for modern listening rooms and recording studios? How can we intelligently modify hollow-state amplifiers to our taste? These and other topics are covered in The State of Hollow State Audio.

Elektor Digital E-Book: Designing Tube Amplifiers EN ANGLAIS
Ce livre se concentre davantage sur les aspects pratiques que sur la théorie, et il a un caractère contemplatif, comme si l'auteur regardait des amplificateurs d'en haut. Les éléments de connaissances sont intégrés et placés dans le contexte d’un large aperçu. Même aujourd’hui, les amplificateurs à tubes sonnent toujours bien, peut-être mieux que jamais. Cela est dû en partie au fait que nous avons désormais accès à des composants modernes tels que des transformateurs de sortie toroïdaux, des résistances et des condensateurs de très haute qualité et de nombreux types de fils dotés de bonnes propriétés acoustiques. Les sources audio modernes, telles que les lecteurs CD, et les derniers haut-parleurs haut de gamme nous permettent également d'apprécier à quel point les amplificateurs à tubes reproduisent la musique encore mieux qu'auparavant. Ce nouveau livre de Menno van der Veen examine les amplificateurs à tubes d'un point de vue plus que théorique. Il se concentre principalement sur la phase de conception, au cours de laquelle des décisions doivent être prises concernant le but et les exigences de l'amplificateur, et aborde les questions suivantes : Quel est le rapport entre ces aspects et des critères subjectifs et objectifs ? Quels circuits sonnent le mieux et pourquoi ? Si vous souhaitez développer et commercialiser un amplificateur, à quels problèmes devez-vous vous attendre ? Quelle est la signification et la signification des mesures ? Sont-ils encore significatifs ou ont-ils perdu de leur pertinence ? Grâce à l’énorme puissance de traitement des ordinateurs, nous pouvons désormais mesurer plus de détails que jamais. Comment ces nouvelles méthodes peuvent-elles être appliquées aux amplificateurs à tubes ? Auparavant, il suffisait de mesurer la gamme de fréquences, la puissance et la distorsion d'un amplificateur pour caractériser l'amplificateur. Ces mesures sont-elles encore suffisantes, ou devrions-nous commencer à mesurer en fonction de la façon dont nous entendons, en utilisant de vrais signaux musicaux au lieu des formes d'onde provenant de générateurs de signaux ? L'auteur esquisse un avenir où les mesures d'amplificateurs conformes à notre sens de l'ouïe nous permettront d'aboutir à de nouvelles connaissances. Ce livre se concentre davantage sur les aspects pratiques que sur la théorie, et il a un caractère contemplatif, comme si l'auteur regardait des amplificateurs d'en haut. Les éléments de connaissances sont intégrés et placés dans le contexte d’un large aperçu.

Elektor Digital Advanced Control Robotics (E-book)
If you enjoy DIY electronics, projects, software and robots, you’ll find this book intellectually stimulating and immediately useful. With the right parts and a little guidance, you can build robot systems that suit your needs more than overpriced commercial systems can. 20 years ago, robots based on simple 8-bit processors and touch sensors were the norm. Now, it’s possible to build multi-core robots that can react to their surroundings with intelligence. Today’s robots combine sensor readings from accelerometers, gyroscopes and computer vision sensors to learn about their environments. They can respond using sophisticated control algorithms and they can process data both locally and in the cloud. This book, which covers the theory and best practices associated with advanced robot technologies, was written to help roboticists, whether amateur hobbyist or professional, take their designs to the next level. As will be seen, building advanced applications does not require extremely costly robot technology. All that is needed is simply the knowledge of which technologies are out there and how best to use each of them. Each chapter in this book will introduce one of these different technologies and discuss how best to use it in a robotics application. On the hardware side, we’ll cover microcontrollers, servos, and sensors, hopefully inspiring you to design your own awe-inspiring, next-generation systems. On the software side, we’ll cover programming languages, debugging, algorithms, and state machines. We’ll focus on the Arduino, the Parallax Propeller, Revolution Education PICAXE and projects I’ve with which I’ve been involved, including the TBot educational robot, the PropScope oscilloscope, the 12Blocks visual programming language, and the ViewPort development environment. In addition, we’ll serve up a comprehensive introduction to a variety of essential topics, including output (e.g. LEDs, servo motors), and communication technologies (e.g. infrared, audio), that you can use to develop systems that interact to stimuli and communicate with humans and other robots. To make these topics as accessible as possible, handy schematics, sample code and practical tips regarding building and debugging have been included. Hanno Sander Christchurch, New Zealand

Elektor Digital Acoustics in Performance (E-book)
All you need to know about good acoustics and sound systems in performance and worship spaces! Everyone knows that the ability to hear music in balance and to understand speech is essential in any space used for performance or worship. Unfortunately, in the early 21st century, we find that buildings with good acoustics are the exception rather than the rule. Much of the fault leading to this result can be traced to the widespread perception that acoustics is a black art. In fact, scientific acoustics as developed in the last century is a well-defined engineering practice that can lead to predictable excellent results. A basic, non-engineering understanding of acoustics will help building owners, theater managers, ministers and teachers of music, performers, and other professionals to achieve their goals of excellent acoustics in venues with which they work. Performers having a basic understanding of acoustics will be able to make the most of the acoustics of the venue in which they perform. This book helps those responsible for providing good acoustics in performance and worship spaces to understand the variables and choices entailed in proper acoustic design for performance and worship. Practicing acoustical consultants will find the book a useful reference as well. The level of presentation is comfortable and straightforward without being simplistic. If correct acoustical principles are incorporated into the design, renovation, and maintenance of performance and worship venues, good acoustics will be the result.

Elektor Digital 50 PIC Microcontroller Projects (E-book)
This book contains 50 fun and exciting projects for PIC microcontrollers such as a laser alarm, USB teasing mouse, eggtimer, youth repellent, soundswitch, capacitive liquid level gauge, 'finger in the water' sensor, guarding a room using a camera, mains light dimmer (110-240 volts), talking microcontroller and much more. Several different techniques are discussed such as relay, alternating current control including mains, I²C, SPI, RS232, USB, pulse width modulation, rotary encoder, interrupts, infrared, analog-digital conversion (and the other way around), 7-segment display and even CAN bus. You can use this book to build the projects for your own use. The clear explanations, schematics and even pictures of each project make this a fun activity. For each project the theory is discussed and why the project has been executed in that particular way. That means you can also use this book as a studybook, or as basis for larger and more complicated projects. All projects use a breadboard so modification and expansion is easy. Three PIC microcontrollers are used, the 16f877A, 18f4455 and 18f4685. It is also discussed how you can migrate your project from one microcontroller to another – 15 types are supported - including two example projects. All software that is used in this book can be downloaded for free. That also applies to the open source programming language JAL. This powerful and yet easy to learn language is used by hobbyists as well as professionals. This book can also be used as a reference guide. It explains all JAL commands, as well as the expansion libraries. Using the index you can easily find example projects that illustrate the use of these commands. Even when you have built all projects in this book you will still want to keep it within arm's reach.

Examples covered in full detail include a simple LED to a multi-megabyte SD card running the FAT file system. Features of this book Build prototype circuits on breadboard or Veroboard and interface to ARM microcontrollers. A 32-bit ARM7 microcontroller is used in interfacing and software examples. Interfacing principles apply to other ARM microcontrollers and other non-ARM microcontrollers as well. Example programs are written in the C programming language. Use only free or open source software. Download and install all programming tools from the Internet. Template project files are provided for easy project creation. Hardware Interface to LEDs, transistors, optocouplers, relays, solenoids, switches, keypads, LCD displays, seven segment displays, DC motors, stepper motors, external analogue signals using the ADC, RS232, RS-485, TWI, USB, SPI and SD memory cards. Software Once hardware has been interfaced to a microcontroller, software must be written to control the hardware. You will learn how to write programs to operate externally interfaced hardware devices, use timers and interrupts. Also learn how to port FAT file system code for use with an SD memory card, program the PWM to produce an audio sine wave, program the PWM to speed control a DC motor and more. A chapter on more advanced ARM microcontrollers is included with an overview of some of the newest ARM microcontrollers and their features.
