Elektor Publishing Electronic Security and Espionage
A Handbook on DIY Nowadays, security problems are rarely properly solved or correctly addressed. Electronic security is only part of the chain in making a system secure. Electronic security is usually addressed as network or software security, neglecting other aspects, but the chain is only as strong as its weakest link. This book is about electronic hardware security, with an emphasis on problems that you can solve on a shoestring DIY budget. It deals mostly with secure communications, cryptosystems, and espionage. You will quickly appreciate that you can’t simply buy a trustworthy and reliable cryptosystem off the shelf. You will then realise that this applies equally to individuals, corporations, and governments. If you want to increase your electronic security awareness in a world already overcrowded with networks of microphones and cameras, this is a book for you. Furthermore, if you want to do something DIY by designing and expanding upon simple electronic systems, please continue reading. Some of the devices described are already published as projects in the Elektor magazine. Some are still ideas yet to be worked out. Complexity is the main enemy of security, so we'll try to keep to simple systems. Every chapter will analyse real-life espionage events or at least several hypothetical scenarios that will hopefully spark your imagination. The final goal is to build a security-conscious mindset (or “to get into a head of a spy”) which is necessary to recognise possible threats beforehand, to design a truly secure system. Don’t bother reading if: you think you and your secrets are 100% safe and secure you think somebody else can effectively handle your security you think conspiracy theories only exist in theory – Telefunken’s masterpiece the “FS-5000 Harpoon” was built on one!

Elektor Publishing Les oscilloscopes anciens & modernes pour les débutants
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.

Elektor Publishing Getting Started with ESPHome
Develop your own custom home automation devices Espressif's ESP8266 and ESP32 microcontrollers have brought DIY home automation to the masses. However, not everyone is fluent in programming these microcontrollers with Espressif's C/C++ SDK, the Arduino core, or MicroPython. This is where ESPHome comes into its own: with this project, you don’t program your microcontroller but configure it. This book demonstrates how to create your own home automation devices with ESPHome on an ESP32 microcontroller board. You’ll learn how to combine all kinds of electronic components and automate complex behaviours. Your devices can work completely autonomously, and connect over Wi-Fi to your home automation gateways such as Home Assistant or MQTT broker. By the end of this book, you will be able to create your own custom home automation devices the way you want. Thanks to ESPHome and the ESP32, this is within everyone’s grasp. Set up an ESPHome development environment and create maintainable configurations Use buttons and LEDs Sound a buzzer and play melodies Read measurements from various types of sensors Communicate over a short distance with NFC, infrared light, and Bluetooth Low Energy Show information on various types of displays Downloads Software

Elektor Publishing Develop and Operate Your LoRaWAN IoT Nodes
LoRaWAN s'est remarquablement développé en tant que solution de communication dans l'IdO. The Things Network (TTN) y a contribué. The Things Network a été mis à niveau vers The Things Stack Community Edition (TTS (CE)). Les clusters TTN V2 ont été fermés vers la fin de l'année 2021. Ce livre vous explique les étapes nécessaires pour exploiter les n?uds LoRaWAN à l'aide de TTS (CE) et peut-être étendre le réseau de passerelles avec votre propre passerelle. Entre-temps, il existe même des passerelles LoRaWAN adaptées à une utilisation mobile avec lesquelles vous pouvez vous connecter au serveur TTN via votre téléphone portable. L'auteur présente plusieurs n?uds LoRaWAN commerciaux et un nouveau matériel peu coûteux et alimenté par batterie pour construire des n?uds LoRaWAN autonomes. L'enregistrement des n?uds et des passerelles LoRaWAN dans le TTS (CE), la transmission des données collectées via MQTT et la visualisation via Node-RED, Cayenne, Thingspeak et Datacake permettent de réaliser des projets IdO complexes et des applications inédites à très faible coût. Ce livre vous permettra de fournir et de visualiser les données collectées avec des capteurs alimentés par batterie (n?uds LoRaWAN) sans fil sur Internet. Vous apprendrez les bases des applications de villes intelligentes et d'IdO qui permettent, entre autres, de mesurer la qualité de l'air, le niveau de l'eau, l'épaisseur de la neige, de déterminer les places de stationnement libres (smart parking) et de contrôler intelligemment l'éclairage public.
