Optimierung der Fahrzeugdiagnose durch eine cloudbasierte Methode zur Identifikation der Datennetze mit künstlicher Intelligenz
Ralf Thomas Lutchen stellt eine neue Methode zur Erstellung von automatisierten Testabläufen in der Fahrzeugentwicklung auf. Dabei setzt der Autor Cloud- und KI-Modelle ein, durch welche die herausfordernde Optimierung der Durchlaufzeit einer Messaufgabe mit 63 % Reduzierung erreicht werden konnte. Zusätzlich zu dieser Optimierung zeigt er auf, wie gleichzeitig die Aktualität der Messaufgabe verbessert wird, bei ebenfalls steigender Vollständigkeit, indem die Komplexität in die Cloud und damit an die KI übertragen wird. Der dafür notwendige Prozess ist die vollständige Identifizierung der Steuergeräte, ihrer Softwarestände sowie aller Datennetze, die am Testequipment angeschlossen sind. Diese Technologie wird erstmals in dieser Studie hergeleitet und ist der Kern der Methode. Die sich daraus ergebenden ökonomischen und ökologischen Vorteile sind im Verhältnis zu den sich zeigenden Kosten und Energiebedarfen signifikant.

ESP32 Formats and Communication
Although Wi-Fi communication is incorporated in many internet-based applications, knowledge of alternative communication protocols is vital for optimal project development with a microcontroller, such as the ESP32. This book focuses on communication protocols for the ESP32 microcontroller with illustrative projects ranging from a Bluetooth Low Energy beacon communicating with your smart wristwatch to Long Range (LoRa) communication between microsatellites circling 550km above the Earth and an ESP32 microcontroller in your home.Just as there are different communication protocols, there are different ESP32 microcontroller formats. You’ll examine the features of several ESP32 microcontroller formats, which enable the optimal combination of communication protocol and ESP32 format to achieve the requirements of a project. Several of the communication protocols and ESP32 formats have only been available in the last few months or years, making the book very relevant.Each chapter focuses on a communication protocol and is stand-alone, so they can be read without having to start from the beginning of the book. The chapters are loosely grouped into short- and long-range communication, image management for transmission to a webpage or a remote LCD screen, and the required apps and IoT techniques for remote control of an ESP32-CAM robot vehicle. The advantages of each communication protocol correspond to different project types.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN* Study the MESH communication protocol and the ESP-NOW protocol with communication between ESP32 microcontrollers without a Wi-Fi connection* Review email communication projects with an ESP32 and generation of quick response codes to instruct an ESP32 to control a connected device.* Look at the ESP32-CAM module built around a 2M-pixel camera for streaming images with the WebSocket protocol to a remote ESP32* Control an ESP32-CAM robot car through remote communication over the internet with image streaming to an Android tablet or mobile phone.WHO THIS BOOK IS FORNeil Cameron is an experienced analyst and programmer with a deep interest in understanding the application of electronics.

Introductory Programs with the 32-bit PIC Microcontroller
Embark on a journey into the world of embedded programming. This book introduces you to the 32bit PIC and will teach you how the main functions of C programming work and can be used with a PIC micro.A one-stop reference for the would-be embedded programmer, you'll explore the electronics needed for a variety of programs as well as how to use different devices with the PIC. The book starts with downloading the environment and creating a simple project, one that uses different oscillators, Phase Lock Loop, and circuitry needed to create the different system clocks—an easy entry point to this exciting environment. You'll also review the MPLABX integrated development environment (IDE) and see how to program the 32Bit PIC, which can be adapted to different PICs.Throughout subsequent chapters, you’ll learn how to use a range of programs that use PIC modules such as the SPI, I2C, UART communication modules, the ADC module, the Capture, Compare, and Pulse Width Modulation module, and the RTCC, Real Time Clock and Calendar Module.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN* Create a project in MPLABX * Configure the different clock frequencies that are used in the 32bit PIC* Build a variable delay subroutine to be used in a simple traffic lights program* Use the MAX 7219 driver IC to control the 8by8 matrix display* Program an I2C expander module to control the display on a LCDWHO THIS BOOK IS FORReaders who want to try their hand at embedded programming, newcomers to programming the PIC 32, programmers who want to look into using MPLAB Harmony 3, and programmers who want to understand how C instructions work with respect to 32bit PIC.

You will start a simple program that allows the user to turn on and off a single LED connected to the PIC.CHAPTER 2 HEADER FILES AND DELAYSThis will take the reader through the important aspect of creating and using local and global header files. We will then look at creating a variable delay subroutine that we will use in a simple traffic lights program.CHAPTER 3 THE SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAYThis will explain what a seven-segment display is and how they work. Then we will go on to write a program that controls the display.CHAPTER 4 THE LCDThis will introduce the reader to the LCD, Liquid Crystal Display. It will explain how they work and how we can create a program to write to the display. It will then move on to explain how we can create and use special characters to display on the LCD.It will also introduce the reader into the concept of arrays.CHAPTER 5 THE DOT MATRIX DISPLAYThis will introduce the reader into the use of a single 8by8 dot matrix display. It will explain how we can use the MAX 7219 driver IC to control the 8by8 matrix display. It will then go on to explain how to control a series of 4 dot matrix displays cascaded together.CHAPTER 6 COMMUNICATIONThis will look at how we can use the SPI module of the PIC to communicate with some EPROM to store data on. It will also move on to explain how we can use the UART terminal to communicate with a terminal.CHAPTER 7 I2C COMMUNICATIONThis will move on to explain what the I2C communication protocol is and how we can create a program to use I2C. It will then move on to show how we can program an I2C expander module to control the display on a LCD.CHAPTER 8 USING INTERRUPTSThis will introduce the reader into interrupts. It will explain what they are and how we can set up the 32bit PIC to use single vectored and multi-vectored interrupts. It will also explain why and how we can set the interrupts to use different priority levels.CHAPTER 9 THE RTCThis will cover using the external crystal oscillator and interrupts to create an accurate clock signal. This will then display the time of day using the TM1637 IC on four 7 segment displays.CHAPTER 10 THE RTC AND THE DS3231This will look at a real time clock using interrupts and an external crystal. It will then look at the DS3231 RTC Module.CHAPTER 11 THE RTCC MODULE OF THE 32 BIT PIC.In this chapter we will look at using the RTCC module of the 32 bit PIC. It will explain how to create an alarm with the RTCC module. We will also look at using the Parallel Master Port of the PIC to write the data of time etc to the LCD.CHAPTER 12 THE ANALOGUE WORLDThis chapter will explain what analogue and digital signals are. It will then move on to explain how the 32 bit PIC use the ADC module to allow analogue inputs to be used in the PIC. It will look at creating a voltmeter with the PIC and using the TC107A temperature transducer on the 16-explorer development board.CHAPTER 13 THE DHT11This will look at the DHT11 humidity and temperature sensor.This will look at SPI and I2C comms.CHAPTER 14 CREATING A SQUARE WAVEThis will look at creating a square wave with a fixed 50/50 duty cycle using the compare module of the PIC.

Learn Engineering with LEGO
LEGO Mindstorms and SPIKE Prime are great products with vast capabilities, but are often so complex that many people don’t know how to use them. LEGO provides a walk-through of a few projects to build, which are cool, but after building these many people get stuck on “now what?” This book answers that question by showing the underlying principles required to build their own ideas.This book is a hands-on tour of how machines work with LEGO—there’s nothing like building a machine with your own to hands to understand how it works. It includes aspects of software engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. As parts and associated engineering concepts are presented, they will be shown in their practical use with graphical step-by-step assembly instructions.The concepts conveyed are mostly learned through building examples, with text explanation to reinforce the ideas being learned. Every engineering concept has a building example to go with it, in a quick build of less than 15 assembly steps. At the end of each chapter there’s a project to tie the concepts of the chapter together of a little more complexity, involving 15 to 30 steps. These assembly steps are drawn with a computer aided design program that looks like the diagrams that LEGO produces for its products, so readers will be familiar with the look of the assembly directions.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN* Layout a Word Blocks or Python computer program from scratch* See how LEGO building elements are meant to be assembled* Manipulate the power source of a rotating shaft from an electric motor* Use gears to alter the speed and torque of a power train* Change the motion from a rotating shaft to a desired action Basic mechanisms (turntable, differential, cam, ratchet, etc.) to * Use sensors (motion, distance, light, color) to make interactive inventions* Integrate mechanical, software, and electrical subsystems in a projectWHO THIS BOOK IS FORThe knowledge presumed in this book is basic familiarity in building with LEGO, having past experience with building a set of moderate complexity of more than a 100 pieces. Basic familiarity with operating a personal computer is also assumed, such as to install an app.Likely interested readers are: LEGO fans looking for ways to build new and better inventions, middle-school and high-school age students who have an interest in science, math, and engineering, adults who like to learn how things work and tinker with inventions, and educators who use the SPIKE Prime set and are looking for new ideas for lesson plans.GRADY KOCH is the author of several books about LEGO and the founder of the website hightechlego.com. He has a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and 35 years of experience as a research engineer at NASA Langley Research Center, where he has built optical and laser instruments that have been flown on aircraft and orbited the Earth. He has three patents in the field of lidar for studying the atmosphere and is the author or contributor of over 200 journal and conference publications. Throughout his career, Dr. Koch has mentored many interns and found that students sometimes need a little help in making the transition of what they’ve learned in classroom to real-world practice. These ideas of applying knowledge to practice are incorporated into his LEGO books.Chapter 1: The HubAssembling and Charging the HubControls and DisplaysFront Panel ButtonsDisplays and SpeakerLEGO Mounting PointsExercise: The Motor SpinnerBuilding the Motor SpinnerActivating the MotorProject: The Distance SpinnerBuilding the Distance SpinnerUsing the Distance SpinnerSummaryChapter 2: ProgrammingUsing the Robot Inventor AppInstalling and Updating the AppThe InterfaceConnecting the HubUpdating the Hub Operating SystemExploring the Hub ScreenThe Program Design ProcessWriting the AlgorithmDrawing the FlowchartWriting the CodeCoding in Word BlocksWriting the ProgramWriting CommentsCoding in PythonThe Completed ProgramImporting CodeCreating an Object and Assigning it to a VariableDisplaying Text on the Hub ScreenBeeping the Hub SpeakerSetting the Center Button LightWaiting Ten SecondsEnding the ProgramDownloading and Running CodeDebugging and TroubleshootingProject: The Dance FloorThe Word Blocks CodeThe Python CodeDefining a VariableBeginning the Loop and Checking for a Button PressSetting the Center Button Light ColorBeeping the Hub SpeakerLighting Up a PixelSetting the Tempo with a DelayIncrementing a VariableChecking the Value of a CountSummaryChapter 3: Building ElementsLiftarmsStraight LiftarmsBent LiftarmsRectangular LiftarmsConnecting LiftarmsPinsAxles and BushesExercise: Building Triangular StructuresConnectorsExercise: Building Symmetric Objects with ConnectorsProject: Mechanical LinkagesThe Universal JointThe EccentricSummaryChapter 4: GearsGears in the MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor SetSpur GearsBeveled GearsSpeeding Up Rotation, or “Gearing Up”Slowing Down Rotation, or “Gearing Down”Exercise: The Many-Geared MachineDirection of RotationCalculating the Gear Ratio for more than two GearsExercise: The Torque DemonstratorLowering Torque by Gearing DownIncreasing Torque by Attempting to Raise the Speed (and Failing)Exercise: The Compound-Gear SpinnerProject: Two-Speed TransmissionSummaryChapter 5: MechanismsExercise: The RatchetExercise: The CamExercise: The DifferentialAssembling the DifferentialBuilding the Differential DemonstratorExercise: TurntablesProject: The Mechanized CannonSummaryChapter 6: MotorsSpeed and AngleExercise: The Speed and Angle DemonstratorControlling the Motor’s Speed in Word BlocksControlling the Motor’s Speed in PythonSetting the Motor’s Angle in Word BlocksSetting the Motor’s Angle in PythonExercise: Understanding Torque and StallExercise: Powering a Vehicle with a Tank Drive SystemBuilding the TankProgramming the TankThe Word Block CodeThe Python CodeExercise: Using a Motor as a Rotation SensorBuilding the Position MimicProgramming the Position MimicThe Word Blocks CodeThe Python CodeProject: The Rear-Wheel Drive CarBuilding the Rear-Wheel Drive CarProgramming the Rear-Wheel Drive CarThe Word Blocks CodeThe Python CodeSummaryChapter 7: The Motion SensorTilt Angle: Yaw, Pitch, and RollExercise: Programming with Tilt DataMeasuring Tilt Angles in Word BlocksMeasuring Tilt Angles in PythonOrientationExercise: Generating Cat Sounds Based on the Hub’s OrientationThe Word Blocks CodeThe Python CodeOther Motion Sensor Measurements: Gyro Rate and AccelerationProject: The Up PointerBuilding the Up PointerProgramming the Up PointerThe Word Blocks CodeThe Python CodeSummaryChapter 8: The Distance SensorUsing the Distance SensorExercise: The Ultrasonic Tape MeasureProgramming the Ultrasonic Tape MeasureThe Word Blocks CodeThe Python CodeProject: The Scanning CannonBuilding the Scanning CannonProgramming the Scanning CannonThe Word Blocks CodeThe Python CodeSummaryChapter 9: The Color SensorExercise: The Brightness BeeperProgramming the Brightness BeeperThe Word Blocks CodeThe Python CodeProject: The Color SorterBuilding the Color SorterThe BaseplateThe ChuteThe PusherThe BasketFinal AssemblyProgramming the Color SorterThe Word Blocks CodeThe Python CodeSummaryAppendix: Parts lists for Exercises and Projectsapter 1: The Hub.- Chapter 2: Programming.- Chapter 3: Building Elements.- Chapter 4: Gears.- Chapter 5: Mechanisms.- Chapter 6: Motors.- Chapter 7: The Motion Sensor.- Chapter 8: The Distance Sensor.- Chapter 9: The Color Sensor
