Practical electronics 04/2018

The editor-in-chief recommends

Sensors and sensors. The functioning of many machines, especially those more complex, depends on the data from the sensors, which are simply entwined. Similarly, the development of the latest technology - IoT - would make no sense if it were not for sensors. They are one of the most important elements of intelligent cities, buildings, devices used by us. In the April EP you can read about how modern sensors were developed, what are their uses and future prospects. Among the projects, it is worth paying attention to the SDR receiver - a module for the RX project "Dosia" published by us, intended for beginner shortwave radio players. We are hot on the latest version of Raspberry Pi, which was launched on the Pi day, March 14. Among the courses of the HID device implementation manual based on the popular STM32 microcontroller, a description of how to make a device for measuring voltage using FPGA or support audio signals with them. Between components we describe an inexpensive, easy to use microcontroller STM8, which has a chance to become another hit of the microcontroller market. I invite you to read!
