Practical electronics 11/2016

Description

Editor-in-chief recommends

The main topic of EP 11/2016 are radio modules. Among the articles related to the main theme, you can find texts about modules that will be used in IoT. It seems that currently two standards are the most important: Sigfox and LoRaWAN. However, there are also signs that cell phone network operators also have a huge appetite for a piece of this "cake". We are also continuing the presentation of the LOGO! from the side that probably few people know. For example, "small" LOGO! has the ability to create effective and useful applications that can be controlled using a smartphone and the Internet. Another example of using a smartphone as a user interface is the "New life of an old phone" tutorial. We present in it an easy way to use a device working under the control of the Android system to control the functionality of the board - extension module. Such an interface can be used in building automation, for switching measuring instruments and in many other applications.
