Beschreibung

Stop buying test equipment. Build it yourself. Ever spent hours debugging a circuit only to discover you were sold a defective batch of 74-series chips. Tired of wiring up the same basic oscillators just to test a display. It's time to take control of your workbench. In this hands-on guide, you build a complete, modular suite of test equipment from scratch using a handful of $6 Raspberry Pi Picos. Rather than relying on expensive off-the-shelf black boxes, you combine bare-metal C programming, multicore processing, and custom PIO assembly with practical hardware design. You will learn the design and implementation of:. The Motherboard. - the control software chassis that coordinates the other components and drives realtime processing on a dedicated core. The Frequency Generator. - three channels of square waves, DC to 62. 5 MHz, selectable frequency/period mode and adjustable duty cycle. The Frequency Counter. - a three-channel display of what's going on in your hardware. The IC Tester. - a dual-Pico architecture that tests most 74-series and 4000-series parts, and even matches ROM contents against known patterns. The Arbitrary Function Generator. - three channels of purely hardware-based programmable truth tables using shift registers, look-up tables, and diode logic. Whether you're preserving vintage computers, reverse-engineering old hardware, or you simply refuse to buy what you can learn more from building, this book gives you the schematics, the C code, and the low-level theory to create indispensable tools for your bench. About the author:. Robert Krten is an embedded systems developer with forty years in international telecom and embedded R&D, including BNR, QNX, and Cisco. He has authored books and training material on QNX and embedded subjects.
