Welcome at Elektor Mag August-September 2023 Issue
For the second time, you’re holding the new approach to our Circuit Special, which is part of Elektor’s decades-long tradition of “semiconductor specials.”
This year, we decided to omit the “Summer” in the title because the more than 50 projects in this issue are meant to inspire you to build throughout the entire year. As always, we’ve made sure to include many simple circuits that even beginners can understand, explicitly including those that don’t require microcontrollers.
Our goal is not only recreational, but also to ensure that foundational knowledge of how components interact with each other is not lost. In times when ready to- use modules are available for just a few euros and various AI tools generate finished software, it’s a challenge to preserve the wealth of knowledge that you, dear readers, still possess, for future generations.
We’re not ignoring modern developments, though. Rapid prototyping and the timely proof-of-concept of a wild idea have their place, as early successes motivate further project development. You will !nd more about how clever — often free — tools (with and without AI) can assist in this process in the upcoming issues. Even in this issue, my colleague, Brian Tristam Williams, begins his journey into the world of AI (page 28). I invite you not only to accompany him on his journey, but also to provide him with suggestions ([email protected])!
