Accessible to all readers, including students of secondary school and amateur technology enthusiasts, Robotics, Mechatronics, and Artificial Intelligence simplifies the process of finding basic circuits to perform simple tasks, such as how to control a DC or step motor, and provides instruction on creating moving robotic parts, such as an "eye" or an "ear." Though many companies offer kits for project construction, most experimenters want to design and build their own robots and other creatures specific to their needs and goals. With this new book by Newton Braga, hobbyists and experimenters around the world will be able to decide what skills they want to feature in a project and then choose...
Now that the FCC has changed the laws governing pirate radio and video stations, more and more people across the country are starting broadcasts from their homes. Of course transmitting equipment is very expensive, but now you can build your own transmitters for a fraction of the cost of purchasing. By reading about and building the over thirty projects in Pirate Radio and Video, you can construct your own station with a minimum investment for maximum learning. With projects for UHF, VHF, AM and FM transmitters, this book covers the gamut of popular bands and outputs. Not only will you learn how to build your own transmitters, but also how to troubleshoot problems, test outcomes and even syn...
Taking concepts from Don Lancaster's legendary "CMOS Cookbook", the author brings them into the 21st century as he presents an updated look at CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductors) from theory to design applications. Ideal for students as well as experienced designers.
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 wa...
Mechatronics specialists play an important role today. Like a "jack of all trades," these technical professionals know how to install a new machine, make necessary connections to electronic circuits, and design required control software. The result of a union of electronics and mechanics, success in this field requires an understanding of robotics, pneumatics, hydraulics, and artificial intelligence. These topics, and more, are the subject of our new Mechatronics Sourcebook. A "must" for anyone who designs, studies, or works with mechatronics projects, the book begins with a review of basic chemistry and physics principles, as well as key mechanics formulas. Later chapters invite readers to explore pneutronics and hydronics applications, electric motors and relays, servo systems, power electronics and power supplies, and more. Relevant information on microcontrollers and microprocessors, PC interfacing, memory applications, programmable controls and digital logic is also included, providing immediate and hassle-free access to all of the information required for success as a highly-skilled, professional mechatronics specialist.
The popular evil genius format provides hobbyists with a fun and inexpensive way to learn Mechatronics (the merger of electronics and mechanics) via 25 complete projects. Projects include: mechanical race car, combat robot, ionic motor, electromagnet, robotic arm, light beam remote control, and more Includes "parts lists" and "tool bin" for each project Covers all the preparation needed to begin building, such as "how to solder," "how to recognize components and diagrams, "how to read a schematic," etc.
For years paranormal scientists have explored the detection and documentation of spirits, auras, ESP, hypnosis, and many more phenomena through electronics. Electronic Projects from the Next Dimension provides useful information on building practical circuits and projects, and applying the knowledge to unique experiments in the paranormal field. The author writes about dozens of inexpensive projects to help electronics hobbyists search for and document their own answers about instrumental transcommunication (ITC), the electronic voice phenomenon (EVP), and paranormal experiments involving ESP, auras, and Kirlian photography. Although paranormal studies are considered esoteric, Electronic Projects from the Next Dimension teaches the technical skills needed to make devices that can be used in many different kinds of experiments. Each section indicates how the circuit can be used in paranormal experiments with suggestions about procedures and how to analyze the results. Provides unique projects for believers and skeptics Perfect for any level of electronics experience Learn from these basics projects and design your own applications
Chock full of projects based on the 4093 IC, this book will be of great interest to makers, hobbysts and students (STEAMers). Readers will have the opportunity to learn how to apply this CMOS Ic in their primary uses while building these detailed projects. This book includes instructions to build over one hundred projects. They include shields for microcontrollers, lamp controls, timers, audio, RF, inverters, alarms and much more. This book offers the readers a satisfaying, practical way of learning about this topic in electronics: Teaches how to use circuits using the 4093 IC as shields for microcontrollers Focuses on insights gained through completing each project explore the imense capabilities of the 4093 IC
Imagine a crazy but very well-intentioned teacher, who knows about technology and other sciences and his two students involved in the greatest adventures and all this in a small town where a technical school operates. Using electronic technology from different periods, from improvised material to microcontrollers and other resources, they get involved in funny problems, solve mysteries, and even solve community problems. This is Professor Ventura with his students Bart and Clarke. In this book, I chose some of the funniest adventures I wrote since when I imagined the characters in the 60’s and then modified them to be part of a series, published in an 80’s magazine and later on my website, with an evident modernization.
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 co...
