Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the long career of the author as a writer of technical articles and books, he have on several occasions addressed the theme "collection of circuits", also including information. Thus, previously, addressing this theme, he published the series "Circuits and Information" (7 volumes) and "Circuits and Solutions" (5 volumes) containing hundreds of useful circuits and technical information of all kinds. The series has run out, time has passed, but readers still charge us something similar updated and that can still be used in projects of all kinds. In fact, basic circuits using ordinary discrete components, from transistors to integrated circuits, are still widely used as simple solutions for immediate problems, part of more advanced projects and even for didactic purposes, at the request of a teacher who needs an application for a theory. So, he is back with this series, but with a differentiated structure, new projects and a new approach. The difference in approach will be to divide the various volumes of the series by themes, we will have audio circuits,such as amplifiers, preamplifiier, mixers, etc. In his stock of circuits, collected from all possible sources, he already have more than 12,000 of them, many of which can be accessed in a dispersed way in the site of the author. The advantage of having these circuits organized in volumes, besides access anywhere, is in the easy location of a circuit. The information, on the other hand, will be added to the circuits, with internal links, which is only possible in a digital publication. Most of these circuits, collected in publications that, in some cases, may not be very current, receive a special treatment with comments, suggestions and updates that make possible its execution even in our days.

Download or read book Handbook of Electronics Formulas and Calculations Volume 1 written by Newton C. Braga and published by Editora Newton C. Braga. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some years ago I had written a book directed to anyone who designs electronic and electric circuits. Engineers, technicians, teachers, students and hobbyists took a real benefit from that book. The original book is now out of print, being available only used issues. Since the book is very useful, the author decided to review the old edition, add new content and so create a new book for anyone who need a fast access to formulas, tables and calculations when designing his projects or solving a problem. The author, who has himself designed multitudes of projects and circuits during his life, publishing many books and hundreds of articles in electronics magazines and teaching electronics, has collected an assortment of all basic information necessary for calculations needed when designing new projects or solving a problem. More part of these formulas and calculations is now in the author ́s site. The site also has versions in Portuguese and in Spanish. In the site the reader will also find practical examples in projects or articles where many of the formulas shown in this book are used. When starting a project or solving a problem the main difficulty the designer or student founds is how to locate the desired information. This information is normally spread over a large number of resources, such as books, handbooks, Internet, and magazine articles. Although many of us who are experienced in electronics have in mind the principal formulas, we sometimes have trouble with the forgotten constant, multiplication factor or exponent. Finding these values is sometimes difficult depending of the circumstances, such as where you are at the time, or the amount of resources at your disposal.
Download or read book Fun Projects for the Experimenter volume 2 written by Newton C. Braga and published by Editora Newton C. Braga. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During more than 30 years, as a collaborator with American, European and Latin American electronics magazines (*), has published a large assortment of practical circuits using common parts. In 1999 he included the first selection in a volume published by Prompt Publications in USA. The idea was to proceed with the series, publishing many volumes more. But, Prompt closed his activities and the idea was forgotten although the first volume became a best seller. Now with his own publishing house (NCB Publications) the author returned with the idea of make many volumes more of the series. So, the second volume is here proceeding with the same idea: give simple projects to the experimenters who want learn electronics using common parts and with no need of special knowledge about electronics. So, as in the first volume, many of the projects collected by the author are included in this volume, most of which you can build in one evening. The projects range from fun types through practical types to amusement types. Of course, there are other devices that can be used to teach you something about circuits and components. An important feature of theses projects are the ideas to Explore, intended for students looking for projects in science or to use in practical research. This ideal can be complemented by our book Science Fair and Technology Education Projects, also published in English by the author. We can consider this book as a source book of the easiest and fun-to-make of hundreds of projects created and published by the author during his life. (see more about Newton C. Braga in "about the author" in his site).

Download or read book Arduino Internals written by Dale Wheat and published by Apress. This book was released on 2012-01-15 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arduino Internals guides you to the heart of the Arduino board. Author Dale Wheat shares his intimate knowledge of the Arduino board—its secrets, its strengths and possible alternatives to its constituent parts are laid open to scrutiny in this book. You'll learn to build new, improved Arduino boards and peripherals, while conforming to the Arduino reference design. Arduino Internals begins by reviewing the current Arduino hardware and software landscape. In particular, it offers a clear analysis of how the ATmega8 board works and when and where to use its derivatives. The chapter on the "hardware heart" is vital for the rest of the book and should be studied in some detail. Furthermore, Arduino Internals offers important information about the CPU running the Arduino board, the memory contained within it and the peripherals mounted on it. To be able to write software that runs optimally on what is a fairly small embedded board, one must understand how the different parts interact. Later in the book, you'll learn how to replace certain parts with more powerful alternatives and how to design Arduino peripherals and shields. Since Arduino Internals addresses both sides of the Arduino hardware-software boundary, the author analyzes the compiler toolchain and again provides suggestions on how to replace it with something more suitable for your own purposes. You'll also learn about how libraries enable you to change the way Arduino and software interact, and how to write your own library implementing algorithms you've devised yourself. Arduino Internals also suggests alternative programming environments, since many Arduino hackers have a background language other than C or Java. Of course, it is possible to optimize the way in which hardware and software interact—an entire chapter is dedicated to this field. Arduino Internals doesn't just focus on the different parts of Arduino architecture, but also on the ways in which example projects can take advantage of the new and improved Arduino board. Wheat employs example projects to exemplify the hacks and algorithms taught throughout the book. Arduino projects straddling the hardware-software boundary often require collaboration between people of different talents and skills which cannot be taken for granted. For this reason, Arduino Internals contains a whole chapter dedicated to collaboration and open source cooperation to make those tools and skills explicit. One of the crowning achievements of an Arduino hacker is to design a shield or peripheral residing on the Arduino board, which is the focus of the following chapter. A later chapter takes specialization further by examining Arduino protocols and communications, a field immediately relevant to shields and the communication between peripherals and the board. Finally, Arduino Internals integrates different skills and design techniques by presenting several projects that challenge you to put your newly-acquired skills to the test! Please note: the print version of this title is black & white; the eBook is full color.

Download or read book The Soul of A New Machine written by Tracy Kidder and published by Back Bay Books. This book was released on 2011-08-23 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracy Kidder's "riveting" (Washington Post) story of one company's efforts to bring a new microcomputer to market won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award and has become essential reading for understanding the history of the American tech industry. Computers have changed since 1981, when The Soul of a New Machine first examined the culture of the computer revolution. What has not changed is the feverish pace of the high-tech industry, the go-for-broke approach to business that has caused so many computer companies to win big (or go belly up), and the cult of pursuing mind-bending technological innovations. The Soul of a New Machine is an essential chapter in the history of the machine that revolutionized the world in the twentieth century.
