Electronica si Robotica. Arduino, de la 0 si 1 la infinit

Electronica si Robotica. Arduino, de la 0 si 1 la infinit

Am scris aceasta carte cu scopul de a explora impreuna lumea fascinanta a dispozitivelor electronice, fara de care viata noastra ar fi mult mai complicata si mult mai anosta. Iar cea mai buna varianta pentru a studia modalitatea in care functioneaza dispozitivele electronice este sa utilizam platforma de dezvoltare Arduino care ne permite sa ne conectam la aproximativ orice tip de senzor pentru a prelua informatii din mediul inconjurator: temperatura, umiditate, intensitate a sunetului, intensitate a luminii, presiune atmosferica, tensiune electrica, apasarea unui buton de catre un utilizator, deplasarea cursorului unui potentiometru pe care sa le procesam, utilizand un program creat de noi si apoi sa trimitem o comanda catre un alt dispozitiv: sa prezentam informatii pe un afisaj, sa aprindem sau sa stingem un bec sau un LED, sa actionam un releu, sa modificam viteza de rotatie a axului unui motor electric, sa modificam intensitatea luminii emise de un LED si asa mai departe. Toate acestea sunt exact elementele dispozitivelor electrice si electronice, casnice sau industriale, pe care le utilizam acasa sau la serviciu. Mai mult decat atat, vom studia modalitatea in care putem programa telefonul mobil astfel incat sa poata trimite comenzi dispozitivului Arduino sau sa receptioneze informatii de la senzorii conectati la acesta... - Catalin Cazan-Gheorghi

La saptesprezece ani, Ken Yazaki, elev in ultimul an la un liceu din Sasebo, oras ce gazduieste o baza militara americana, este mai putin preocupat de examenul de admitere la facultate si mai degraba de cum sa se elibereze de conservatorismul provincial ascultand The Rolling Stones, Simon & Garfunkel si Led Zeppelin, citind poemele lui Rimbaud, imaginandu-se Godard si Che Guevara. Ajutat de amicii sai, Adama si Iwase - primul cu lipici la fete, al doilea un melancolic incurabil, iubitor de jazz -, si calauzit de sloganul Imaginatia la putere!, Ken pune la bataie un arsenal complex de strategii ca sa cucereasca inima unei colege de care este indragostit: de la discurile cu Janis Joplin pana la baricadarea liceului si organizarea unui festival al scolii in ton cu ultimele tendinte din arta pop de peste ocean.

The Last Witch of Scotland : Waterstones Scottish Book of the Year 2024

Being a woman was her only crime. Scottish Highlands, 1727. In the aftermath of a tragic fire that kills her father, Aila and her mother, Janet, move to the remote parish of Loth, north-west of Inverness. Blending in does not come easily to the women: Aila was badly burned in the fire and left with visible injuries, while her mother struggles to maintain her grip on reality. When a temporary minister is appointed in the area, rather than welcome the two women, he develops a strange curiosity for them that sets them even further apart from the community. Then arrives a motley troupe of travelling entertainers from Edinburgh, led by the charismatic but mysterious Jack. It is just the distraction Janet, and particularly Aila, needs: for the first time in a long while, their lives are filling with joy and friendship, and a kind of hope Aila hasn't known since her father's death. But in this small community, faith is more powerful than truth, and whispers more dangerous even than fire. Haunting and deeply moving, The Last Witch of Scotland is a story of love, loyalty and sacrifice, inspired by the true story of the last person to be executed for witchcraft in Britain. Perfect for fans of Outlander, The Mercies and The Witches of Vardo, or for anyone with an interest in the history of witchcraft, late renaissance Scotland and Highland history

They join the woodcutters and peasants of the Var to seize control of Plassans, opposed by the Bonapartist loyalists led by Silvère's uncle, Pierre Rougon.

Source Code : My Beginnings

Source Code : My Beginnings

Bill Gates is one of the most transformative figures of our age. In Source Code he takes us back to his beginnings. He describes with candour his childhood in Seattle, the centrality of family – his close relationship with his card-playing grandmother and his demanding but caring parents – his struggles to fit in, his rebelliousness, his first deep friendships and the impact of losing his closest friend. We see Gates’s extraordinary mind developing, the restless teenager who discovered a love of coding and computing at the dawn of a new era and felt that ‘by applying my brain, I could solve even the world’s most complex mysteries’. We see the earliest signs of his phenomenal business acumen, which led him to drop out of Harvard at the age of 20 to devote all his energies to Microsoft, the company he started with his childhood friend Paul Allen. He writes about his first involvement with three Steves – Jobs, Wozniak and Ballmer – who would play a crucial role in so much that followed. The book ends in the late 1970s when Microsoft, still with only a dozen employees, signed its first deal with Apple. The deals would go on and Microsoft would grow unimaginably. Yet Gates never forgot his mother’s reminder that he was merely a steward of any wealth that he gained. This warm and inspiring book, Bill Gates’ origin story, allows readers to understand his energy and ambition – and to see how he sets himself in the world

Nolan's loss to an unknown rookie shocks everyone. What's even more confusing? His desire to cross pawns again. What kind of gambit is Nolan playing? The smart move would be to walk away. Resign.

As she rockets up the ranks, Mallory struggles to keep her family safely separated from the game that wrecked it in the first place.

The Island of Sea Women : 'Beautifully rendered' -Jodi Picoult

The Island of Sea Women : 'Beautifully rendered' -Jodi Picoult

The beautiful novel of female friendship and family secrets on a small Korean island, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane   Mi-ja and Young-sook, two girls living on the Korean island of Jeju, are best friends that come from very different backgrounds. When they are old enough, they begin working in the sea with their village’s all-female diving collective, led by Young-sook’s mother. As the girls take up their positions as baby divers, they know they are beginning a life of excitement and responsibility but also danger. Despite their love for each other, Mi-ja and Young-sook’s differences are impossible to ignore. The Island of Sea Women is an epic set over many decades, beginning during a period of Japanese colonialism in the 1930s and 1940s, followed by World War II, the Korean War and its aftermath, through the era of cell phones and wetsuits for the women divers. Throughout this time, the residents of Jeju find themselves caught between warring empires. Mi-ja is the daughter of a Japanese collaborator, and she will forever be marked by this association. Young-sook was born into a long line of haenyeo and will inherit her mother’s position leading the divers in their village. Little do the two friends know that after surviving hundreds of dives and developing the closest of bonds, forces outside their control will push their friendship to the breaking point. This beautiful, thoughtful novel illuminates a world turned upside down, one where the women are in charge, engaging in dangerous physical work, and the men take care of the children. A classic Lisa See story—one of women’s friendships and the larger forces that shape them—The Island of Sea Women introduces readers to the fierce and unforgettable female divers of Jeju Island and the dramatic history that shaped their lives. ‘For centuries, women on Korea’s Jeju island have been free-diving into the sea, a practice explored through this fictionalized story of two friends who struggle to stay close amid war, family rivalries, and a shifting cultural landscape. It’s riveting, historical, and heartbreaking all at once’ Marie Claire ‘Lisa See excels at mining the intersection of family, friendship and history... This novel spans wars and generations, but at its heart is a beautifully rendered story of two women whose individual choices become inextricably tangled’ Jodi Picoult, author of A Spark of Light ‘I was spellbound the moment I entered the vivid and little-known world of the diving women of Jeju… No one writes about female friendship… with more insight and depth than Lisa See’ Sue Monk Kidd, author of The Secret Life of Bees
