EAGLE, the "Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor" is a professional-grade CAD (computer aided design) software package for the design and drafting of electronic schematics as well as the design and fabrication of printed circuit boards (PCBs). This publication, the 'EAGLE Advanced User Guide' provides the experienced EAGLE user with insight into using some of the more advanced features of EAGLE software. It is not a guide to teach the reader the basic concepts of EAGLE, nor does it discuss the 'how to' of the EAGLE interface and the simpler operations and commands of the software. That is the purpose of the author's previous title EAGLE V6 Getting Started Guide also published by Elektor. This book is intended as an enduring document covering the more advanced modules, commands, and functions which make up EAGLE. It is hoped that this book will sit on the desk or the bookshelf of the EAGLE user, and provide a quick, succinct reference to assist with more complex applications and uses of EAGLE - an 'EAGLE User's Companion', if you like. Complementing the EAGLE Advanced User Guide, the EAGLE User Language manual is included in this book in unabridged form, reproduced with permission of CadSoft GmbH. At the time of writing, the material in this book covers version 7 of the EAGLE software suite.

The Ultimate Compendium of Sensor Projects

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.

Product Description In the book, Microcontroller Basics with PIC, Tam Hanna presents the essential aspects of microcontroller programming, without overloading the you with unnecessary or quasi-relevant bits of information. Having read the book, you should be able to understand and program 8-bit microcontrollers. The introduction to microcontroller programming focuses on the Microchip Technology PIC series. The PIC micro has the advantage of being easy to comprehend. It is offered in a DIP enclosure, widely available and not overly complex. The entire datasheet of the PIC micro is shorter by than the description of the architecture outlining the processor section of an advanced microcontroller. Simplicity has its advantages here. Having mastered the fundamental operation of a microcontroller, you can easily move on to advanced softcores later. Having placed assembly code as the executive programming language in the foreground in the first part of the book, Hanna reaches a deeper level with C in the second part. The informative book details tips and tricks, interesting measurement technology, practical aspects of microcontroller programming, and hands-on options for easier working, debugging and fault finding. About the Author Tam Hanna has been programming and developing microcontroller and microprocessor systems for over 15 years aimed at various application areas. Besides his consulting activities he gives lectures at congresses, writes specialist articles for various magazines, and tutors. His popular Instragram channel supplies background information on measurement technology an electronics.

There are many so-called 'Arduino compatible' platforms on the market. The ESP8266 – in the form of the WeMos D1 Mini Pro – is one that really stands out. This device includes WiFi Internet access and the option of a flash file system using up to 16 MB of external flash memory. Furthermore, there are ample in/output pins (though only one analogue input), PWM, I²C, and one-wire. Needless to say, you are easily able to construct many small IoT devices!

This book contains the following builds:\nA colourful smart home accessory 
refrigerator controller 
230 V power monitor 
door lock monitor 
and some further spin-off devices.\nAll builds are documented together with relevant background information for further study. For your convenience, there is a small PCB for most of the designs; you can also use a perf board. You don’t need to be an expert but the minimum recommended essentials include basic experience with a PC, software, and hardware, including the ability to surf the Internet and assemble PCBs. 
And of course: A handle was kept on development costs. All custom software for the IoT devices and PCB layouts are available for free download from at Elektor.com.

Hobbyist electronics can be a fun way to learn new skills that can be helpful to your career. Those who understand the basics of electronics can design their own circuits and projects. However, before you run, you need to learn to walk. 
It all starts with analogue electronics. You should be familiar with the simple components and circuits and understand their basic behaviors and the issues you may encounter. The best way to do this is through real experiments. Theory alone is not enough. This book offers a large number of practical entry-level circuits, with which everyone can gain the basic experience. 
Through the widespread introduction of microcontrollers, a new chapter in electronics has begun. Microcontrollers are now performing more and more tasks that were originally solved using discrete components and conventional ICs. Starting out has become easier and easier thanks to platforms including Bascom, Arduino, micro:bit. The book introduces numerous manageable microcontroller applications. It’s now a case of less soldering and more programming.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a major application area for embedded systems. As a result, more and more people are becoming interested in learning about embedded design and programming. Technical colleges and universities are moving away from legacy 8 and 16-bit microcontrollers and are introducing 32-bit embedded microcontrollers to their curriculums. Many IoT applications demand precision, high processing power, and low power consumption.Produced by IBM, Node-RED is an open-source visual editor for wiring the Internet of Things. Node-RED comes with a large number of nodes to handle a multitude of tasks. The required nodes are selected and joined together to perform a particular task. Node-RED is based on flow type programming where nodes are configured and joined together to form an application program. There are nodes for performing complex tasks, including web access, Twitter, E-mail, HTTP, Bluetooth, MQTT, controlling GPIO ports, etc. One particularly nice aspect of Node-RED is that the programmer does not need to learn how to write complex programs. For example, an email can be sent by simply joining nodes together and writing only a few lines of code.The aim of this book is to teach how Node-RED can be used in projects. The main hardware platform used with most of the projects in this book is Raspberry Pi 4. Chapters are included to show how Node-RED can be also be used with Arduino Uno, ESP32 DevKitC, and the ESP8266 NodeMCU microcontroller development boards.
