Theodoor Rombouts. Virtuose du caravagisme flamand

You can use it as projects book and build more thon 50 projects for your own use. The clear explanations, schematics, and pictures of each project on a breadboard make this a fun activity. You can also use it as a study guide. The technical background information in each project explains why the project is set up the way it is, including the use of datasheets This way you'll learn a lot about the project and the microcontroller being used, and you can expand the project to suit your own needs...making it ideal for use in schools and colleges. This book can also be used as a reference guide. The explanation of the JAL programming language and ail of the expansion libraries used is unique and found nowhere else. Using the index, you can easily locate projects that serve as examples for the main commands. But even after you've built all the projects it will still be a valuable reference guide to keep next to your PC. Four microcontrollers are discussed, the 12f675, 16f628, 16f876A, and 16f877, as well as how to migrate programs from one microcontroller to another. All software used in this book can be downloaded for free, including all of the source code, a program editor, and the JAL open source programming language. This powerful and yet easy to learn language is used by hobbyists and professionals worldwide. A hardware kit is also available for purchase separately that contains all the parts to get you started, including a few microcontrollers. There is even a free support website with additional information, FAQ, and links.

This book is about a state of the art tool, Flowcode, and how you can use Flowcode to develop microcontroller applications. The book starts very simply with a tutorial project and step-by-step instructions. As you go along the projects increase in difficulty and the new concepts are explained. Each project has a clear description of both hardware and software with pictures and diagrams, which explain not just how things are done but also why. Ail sources are available for free download. Since Flowcode is a high level language the intricacies of microcontroller programming are hidden from view. For that reason it doesn't make much difference whether the program is meant for a PIC, AVR or ARM microcontroller. On a high level the programs for these microcontrollers, although vastly different in internal structure, are identical. For that reason this book is on microcontroller application design in general, not just for one type of microcontroller. If you don't own the microcontroller described in a project you can usually convert it to another microcontroller quite easily. E-blocks will be used as hardware for the projects in this book. This way the hardware can be put together quickly and reliably. Fully tested units simply connect together using connectors or short flat ribbon tables to form completed projects. This book covers 45 exciting and fun projects for beginners and experts such as:

This book contains 23 special and exciting artificiel intelligence machine-learning projects, for microcontroller and PC. Learn how to set up a neural network in a microcontroller, and how to make the network self-learning. Discover how you con breed robots, and how changing a fitness function results in a totally different behavior. Find out how a PC program exposes your weak spots in a game, and ruthlessly exploits them. Build a free-will robot, or have one clean your floor ! Example projects from the book : Microcontroller that learns what your favourite color is. Robot wandering about the house looking for someone to play with. Bred robot program that is incapable of crossing a black line. Microcontroller that learns how to play a game until You just can't win anymore. PC that programs a microcontroller all by itself. Complete with free software that you can download containing : All source code for the microcontroller. All sources of compiled PC programs (MS Windows). JAL programming language, with special editor and extension libraries. Robot breed program. Plus a support webpage with links, errata and FAQ. Several artificial intelligence techniques are discussed and used in projects such as expert system, neural network, subsumption, emerging behavior, genetic algorithm, cellular automata and roulette brains. Every project has clear instructions and pictures so you can start immediately. Suggestions and literature links allow you to go way beyond the scope of the book. Even after you have built all the projects contained within, this book will remain a valuable reference guide to keep next to your PC. A unique book for anyone with an interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
