Open-Source Robotics and Process Control Cookbook - Designing and Building Robust, Dependable Real-Time Systems (Paperback):... Open-Source Robotics and Process Control Cookbook - Designing and Building Robust, Dependable Real-Time Systems (Paperback)
Lewin Edwards
R1,424 Discovery Miles 14 240 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In this practical reference, popular author Lewin Edwards shows how to develop robust, dependable real-time systems for robotics and other control applications, using open-source tools. It demonstrates efficient and low-cost embedded hardware and software design techniques, based on Linux as the development platform and operating system and the Atmel AVR as the primary microcontroller. The book provides comprehensive examples of sensor, actuator and control applications and circuits, along with source code for a number of projects. It walks the reader through the process of setting up the Linux-based controller, from creating a custom kernel to customizing the BIOS, to implementing graphical control interfaces.
Including detailed design information on:
-ESBUS PC-host interface
-Host-module communications protocol
-A speed-controlled DC motor with tach feedback and thermal cut-off
-A stepper motor controller
-A two-axis attitude sensor using a MEMS accelerometer
-Infrared remote control in Linux using LIRC
-Machine vision using Video4Linux
The Accompanying CD-ROM contains a wealth of design materials, including:
-Full schematics and source code for the projects described
-Ready-made disk images for the miniature Linux distribution uses as the basis for the PC-side software
-Distribution archives of source code for all GNU software used, along with application-specific patches where appropriate
-A free version of the schematic capture and PCB CAD software used
-Atmel AVR Studio
* The first-ever book on using open source technology for robotics design!
* Immensely valuable source code and design tools provided on the CD-ROM
* Covershot topics such as GPS navigation, 3-D sensing, and machine vision, all using a Linux platform!

Embedded System Design on a Shoestring - Achieving High Performance with a Limited Budget (Paperback): Lewin Edwards Embedded System Design on a Shoestring - Achieving High Performance with a Limited Budget (Paperback)
Lewin Edwards
R1,715 Discovery Miles 17 150 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In this practical guide, experienced embedded engineer Lewin Edwards demonstrates faster, lower-cost methods for developing high-end embedded systems. With today's tight schedules and lower budgets, embedded designers are under greater pressure to deliver prototypes and system designs faster and cheaper. Edwards demonstrates how the use of the right tools and operating systems can make seemingly impossible deadlines possible.
Designer's Guide to Embedded Systems Development shares many advanced, "in-the-trenches" design secrets to help engineers achieve better performance on the job. In particular, it covers many of the newer design tools supported by the GPL (GNU Public License) system. Code examples are given to provide concrete illustrations of tasks described in the text. The general procedures are applicable to many possible projects based on any 16/32-bit microcontroller. The book covers choosing the right architecture and development hardware to fit the project; choosing an operating system and developing a toolchain; evaluating software licenses and how they affect a project; step-by-step building instructions for gcc, binutils, gdb and newlib for the ARM7 core used in the case study project; prototyping techniques using a custom printed circuit board; debugging tips; and portability considerations. The accompanying companion website contains all the code used in the design examples as well as useful open-source tools for embedded design.
.A wealth of practical tips, tricks and techniques
.Design better, faster and more cost-effectively
.Accompanying companion website includes useful open-source tools for embedded design"

So You Wanna Be an Embedded Engineer - The Guide to Embedded Engineering, From Consultancy to the Corporate Ladder (Paperback):... So You Wanna Be an Embedded Engineer - The Guide to Embedded Engineering, From Consultancy to the Corporate Ladder (Paperback)
Lewin Edwards
R1,586 Discovery Miles 15 860 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

In this new, highly practical guide, expert embedded designer and manager Lewin Edwards answers the question, "How do I become an embedded engineer?" Embedded professionals agree that there is a treacherous gap between graduating from school and becoming an effective engineer in the workplace, and that there are few resources available for newbies to turn to when in need of advice and direction. This book provides that much-needed guidance for engineers fresh out of school, and for the thousands of experienced engineers now migrating into the popular embedded arena.
This book helps new embedded engineers to get ahead quickly by preparing them for the technical and professional challenges they will face. Detailed instructions on how to achieve successful designs using a broad spectrum of different microcontrollers and scripting languages are provided. The author shares insights from a lifetime of experience spent in-the-trenches, covering everything from small vs. large companies, and consultancy work vs. salaried positions, to which types of training will prove to be the most lucrative investments. This book provides an expert's authoritative answers to questions that pop up constantly on Usenet newsgroups and in break rooms all over the world.
* An approachable, friendly introduction to working in the world of embedded design
* Full of design examples using the most common languages and hardware that new embedded engineers will be likely to use every day
* Answers important basic questions on which are the best products to learn, trainings to get, and kinds of companies to work for
