Description

Editor-in-chief recommends

The Internet of Things will certainly do a lot of commotion both in manners and in technology. Therefore, in Practical Electronics, we begin publishing projects and articles that provide the basis for creating our own solutions in this field. We start in the February issue from the presentation of Ethernet and Wi-Fi modules. It is worth paying attention to the refrigerator project we have described with access to the Internet and a controller for a household power plant. We dedicate the radio enthusiasts to the design of the Lidia 80 homodyne receiver. Thanks to the careful reading of the second part of the article, you will learn how to make an FLL generator. The author described the method of his software with the smallest details, which will be an excellent basis for creating their own applications of this type. Among the articles marked with the "topic of number" logo you will find a description of the Universal, multitasking, programmable Analog Discovery measuring instrument. It's really an unearthly measuring lab! I invite you to read!
