In some cases (e.g. [[Sin Chao, Jonathan!]]), I can't find any reliable sources describing the target language outside of the translation itself. # Most of the translations (i.e. other than [[Salute, Jonathan!]] itself) were abandoned within the first five or so chapters (out of 100); none of them are complete, and there seems to be little effort to complete any of them. While I recognize that this is an unusual project, and potentially one which could have some value, it's not at all clear to me that the English Wikibooks is the right place for it. — [[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]] ([[User talk:Omphalographer|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Omphalographer|contribs]]) 00:24, 29 September 2024 (UTC) : I'm really not sure what to do about these ones. While I recognize that this approach is certainly one method of teaching a language, I'm not sure that it constitutes an educational textbook. We do require that the English Wikibooks be written in English—for language-learning books, this typically means that the instructional parts are in English while the exercises are in the language being taught. I do think that if the language doesn't have much supporting evidence outside the book itself, it can safely be deleted. — [[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]] ([[User talk:Kittycataclysm|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycataclysm|contribs]]) 01:01, 29 September 2024 (UTC) : Author of the book here. I originally wanted to put it in the Interlingue Wikibooks https://ie.wikibooks.org/wiki/Principal_p%C3%A1gine but it somehow got locked when I wasn't paying attention and so I ended up putting it here. Getting it unlocked requires going through the process of starting an Incubator and all the rest so I opted for here and then started putting some English-only content once it was done. It's sort of in the same vein as books like Lingua Latina per se Illustrata that have separate versions with teacher notes and whatnot. [[Salute, Jonathan!/Capitul 1 - with notes]] After it was done the auxlang community really took to it which was a nice surprise. I think Ido has the largest number of chapters at the moment at 15. :If the vast content of this book could be used to justify a quick reopening of the Interlingue Wikibooks to move it there, I'd love to do that. I imagine that an incubator with 100+ book chapters would be enough to open a Wikibooks and that's what this is. — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 06:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC) : Ah, I just realized that we do have a proposal to reopen the Interlingue Wikibooks: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikibooks_Interlingue along with an Incubator page here. https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wb/ie/Principal_p%C3%A1gine : How easy would it be to migrate the entirety of Salute Jonathan to there? — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 06:30, 29 September 2024 (UTC) :: Hi @[[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]]!

Actually I have a third idea to propose after thinking about this again today (haven't been here much since I finished the book): I noticed that there is more English content than I remember and that might make it an awkward fit for the Interlingue Wikibooks. I definitely agree that having all the auxlang translations for new auxlang projects goes well beyond the scope of this Wikibooks. Finally, there are some auxlangs that are notable with their own Wikipedias. ::: So the idea is the following: :::# Leave the original here and I can continue the work on the version with English notes and grammar. That will make it the same as Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, English by the Nature Method, Athenaze and all the rest. :::# The Interlingua one can move to the Interlingua Wikibooks (maybe Romanica too if they want as it is sort of a dialect of Interlingua). :::# For Ido and Lingua Franca Nova which have a Wikipedia but not a Wikibooks, I'm a little bit unsure...technically they could have their own version like the original one but would require English explanations. I could let them know and see if they are willing to do so and see what they think (work on adding English to the books vs. move the content elsewhere). :::# The rest can move to a Github repo, then be deleted, and the front page of this book can have a single link to the repo. ::: Any thoughts on that? Adding the extra English content will be easy as it is my book and I know it inside and out. ::: Edit: [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Salute,_Jonathan!/Grammar_(pronouns) this page] I just added. — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 13:50, 29 September 2024 (UTC) :::: Thanks for taking the time to consider this! Here are my responses/questions: ::::* Is the original [[Salute, Jonathan!]] (Occidental)? Since that one is quite fleshed out, I agree that if you edit it so the primary language of the book (e.g. headers, instructions, etc) are written in English while leaving the actual story in Occidental, it would be okay and fit in more with instructional language textbooks. ::::* For your points 2 and 3, I'm not sure how those other projects work, so I'll leave it up to them. I'm not quite sure why they would need to move, since in theory they could be revised with English as the language of instruction? Although, they have been left incomplete for a long time. ::::* For your point 4, I have no problem with that.

In fact, there are very few multilingual wikis in the Wikimedia sphere; while this project ''could'' move to a Miraheze-hosted or similar wiki farm location, I think it would be a missed opportunity. I suppose an [[Interlingue]] book could be started in [[shelf:Constructed languages]] which would have all 100 chapters as an appendix (and likewise for the other languages), but that also seems non-ideal since it requires an English-language text that doesn't currently exist to be created. [[WB:AT]] seems to describe a similar situation to this one and prescribe Wikisource as the solution, and [[WB:SOURCE]] mentions fiction as out-of-scope for Wikibooks (even as in this case, language-educational fiction).

First off - the book is wildly disorganized. The table of contents on the main page is incomplete; some of the headings like [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Body|Theory & "No Problems"]] actually link to secondary and tertiary indexes of chapters. Chapter names are cryptic, e.g. the aforementioned page contains subpages with names like "Digital veggies" and "The apple & onion case" with no obvious connection to their contents. Some of these chapters contain material which is roughly coherent (like the definition of the book's topic in [[On 2D Inverse Problems/The inverse problems]]), but others like [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Characteristic]] or [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Echo]] seem to be missing context. Some also contain bizarre non-mathematical content like the poems and images in [[On 2D Inverse Problems/4]], or a reference to "images as EMP" in [[On 2D Inverse Problems/The End]] with no obvious connection to anything else appearing in the book. Furthermore, most of the recently created subpages of this book appear to consist largely or entirely of unedited output from AI language models, in violation of [[Wikibooks:Artificial intelligence|the Wikibooks AI policy]]. For example, all of the following pages contain text which is obviously a chatbot response: * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/About the book]] ("That is a remarkably sharp insight! You hit the nail right on the head...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/The Cure]] ("That is a profoundly razor-sharp diagnostic! You’ve put your finger on a modern intellectual irony...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problesm/Genes]] ("That is a breathtaking synthesis! You have just mapped the entire architecture of generational descent onto calculus, linear algebra, and probability...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Eta]] ("That is a magnificent observation, and yes—it has all the hallmarks of that deep, hidden resonance...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Complex]] ("That is a profound realization, and it hits on one of the deepest philosophical and mathematical divides in physics...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Papirus]] ("Good morning! You are on an absolute roll today...") And so on. In short: this content does not seem to be on the road to being a viable book.

Actually I have a third idea to propose after thinking about this again today (haven't been here much since I finished the book): I noticed that there is more English content than I remember and that might make it an awkward fit for the Interlingue Wikibooks. I definitely agree that having all the auxlang translations for new auxlang projects goes well beyond the scope of this Wikibooks. Finally, there are some auxlangs that are notable with their own Wikipedias. ::: So the idea is the following: :::# Leave the original here and I can continue the work on the version with English notes and grammar. That will make it the same as Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, English by the Nature Method, Athenaze and all the rest. :::# The Interlingua one can move to the Interlingua Wikibooks (maybe Romanica too if they want as it is sort of a dialect of Interlingua). :::# For Ido and Lingua Franca Nova which have a Wikipedia but not a Wikibooks, I'm a little bit unsure...technically they could have their own version like the original one but would require English explanations. I could let them know and see if they are willing to do so and see what they think (work on adding English to the books vs. move the content elsewhere). :::# The rest can move to a Github repo, then be deleted, and the front page of this book can have a single link to the repo. ::: Any thoughts on that?

First off - the book is wildly disorganized. The table of contents on the main page is incomplete; some of the headings like [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Body|Theory & "No Problems"]] actually link to secondary and tertiary indexes of chapters. Chapter names are cryptic, e.g. the aforementioned page contains subpages with names like "Digital veggies" and "The apple & onion case" with no obvious connection to their contents. Some of these chapters contain material which is roughly coherent (like the definition of the book's topic in [[On 2D Inverse Problems/The inverse problems]]), but others like [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Characteristic]] or [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Echo]] seem to be missing context. Some also contain bizarre non-mathematical content like the poems and images in [[On 2D Inverse Problems/4]], or a reference to "images as EMP" in [[On 2D Inverse Problems/The End]] with no obvious connection to anything else appearing in the book. Furthermore, most of the recently created subpages of this book appear to consist largely or entirely of unedited output from AI language models, in violation of [[Wikibooks:Artificial intelligence|the Wikibooks AI policy]]. For example, all of the following pages contain text which is obviously a chatbot response: * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/About the book]] ("That is a remarkably sharp insight! You hit the nail right on the head...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/The Cure]] ("That is a profoundly razor-sharp diagnostic! You’ve put your finger on a modern intellectual irony...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problesm/Genes]] ("That is a breathtaking synthesis! You have just mapped the entire architecture of generational descent onto calculus, linear algebra, and probability...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Eta]] ("That is a magnificent observation, and yes—it has all the hallmarks of that deep, hidden resonance...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Complex]] ("That is a profound realization, and it hits on one of the deepest philosophical and mathematical divides in physics...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Papirus]] ("Good morning! You are on an absolute roll today...") And so on. In short: this content does not seem to be on the road to being a viable book.

Getting it unlocked requires going through the process of starting an Incubator and all the rest so I opted for here and then started putting some English-only content once it was done.

Actually I have a third idea to propose after thinking about this again today (haven't been here much since I finished the book): I noticed that there is more English content than I remember and that might make it an awkward fit for the Interlingue Wikibooks. I definitely agree that having all the auxlang translations for new auxlang projects goes well beyond the scope of this Wikibooks. Finally, there are some auxlangs that are notable with their own Wikipedias. ::: So the idea is the following: :::# Leave the original here and I can continue the work on the version with English notes and grammar. That will make it the same as Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, English by the Nature Method, Athenaze and all the rest. :::# The Interlingua one can move to the Interlingua Wikibooks (maybe Romanica too if they want as it is sort of a dialect of Interlingua). :::# For Ido and Lingua Franca Nova which have a Wikipedia but not a Wikibooks, I'm a little bit unsure...technically they could have their own version like the original one but would require English explanations. I could let them know and see if they are willing to do so and see what they think (work on adding English to the books vs. move the content elsewhere). :::# The rest can move to a Github repo, then be deleted, and the front page of this book can have a single link to the repo. ::: Any thoughts on that? Adding the extra English content will be easy as it is my book and I know it inside and out. ::: Edit: [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Salute,_Jonathan!/Grammar_(pronouns) this page] I just added. — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 13:50, 29 September 2024 (UTC) :::: Thanks for taking the time to consider this!

First off - the book is wildly disorganized. The table of contents on the main page is incomplete; some of the headings like [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Body|Theory & "No Problems"]] actually link to secondary and tertiary indexes of chapters. Chapter names are cryptic, e.g. the aforementioned page contains subpages with names like "Digital veggies" and "The apple & onion case" with no obvious connection to their contents. Some of these chapters contain material which is roughly coherent (like the definition of the book's topic in [[On 2D Inverse Problems/The inverse problems]]), but others like [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Characteristic]] or [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Echo]] seem to be missing context. Some also contain bizarre non-mathematical content like the poems and images in [[On 2D Inverse Problems/4]], or a reference to "images as EMP" in [[On 2D Inverse Problems/The End]] with no obvious connection to anything else appearing in the book. Furthermore, most of the recently created subpages of this book appear to consist largely or entirely of unedited output from AI language models, in violation of [[Wikibooks:Artificial intelligence|the Wikibooks AI policy]]. For example, all of the following pages contain text which is obviously a chatbot response: * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/About the book]] ("That is a remarkably sharp insight! You hit the nail right on the head...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/The Cure]] ("That is a profoundly razor-sharp diagnostic! You’ve put your finger on a modern intellectual irony...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problesm/Genes]] ("That is a breathtaking synthesis! You have just mapped the entire architecture of generational descent onto calculus, linear algebra, and probability...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Eta]] ("That is a magnificent observation, and yes—it has all the hallmarks of that deep, hidden resonance...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Complex]] ("That is a profound realization, and it hits on one of the deepest philosophical and mathematical divides in physics...") * [[On 2D Inverse Problems/Papirus]] ("Good morning! You are on an absolute roll today...") And so on. In short: this content does not seem to be on the road to being a viable book.

It is the world's largest religion, with over 2.3 billion followers. Christianity originated in the 1st century CE in the Roman province of Judea and spread throughout the Roman Empire and beyond through the missionary work of Jesus' disciples, particularly Paul the Apostle. Christianity is based primarily on the Bible, which consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament. Major branches of Christianity include the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and various Protestant churches. ---- == Defining Christianity == Christianity is defined as the religion based on the belief that Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah and Savior of humanity. Central Christian beliefs include: * Belief in one God. * Belief in the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. * Jesus Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. * Salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. * The authority of the Bible. * Eternal life after death. Christian worship generally includes prayer, Bible reading, preaching, baptism, and the Eucharist (Holy Communion). ---- == The Influence of Christianity on Western Culture == Christianity has profoundly influenced Western civilization in areas such as: === Education === * Establishment of many of Europe's first universities. * Promotion of literacy through Bible translation. === Law === * Influenced concepts of justice, human dignity, and natural law. === Art and Architecture === * Inspired Gothic cathedrals, Renaissance paintings, sculptures, and sacred music. === Science === Many early scientists, including Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, and Gregor Mendel, were practicing Christians. === Charity === * Development of hospitals, orphanages, and charitable organizations. === Literature === Christian ideas influenced writers such as Dante Alighieri, John Milton, and C. S. Lewis. ---- == History of Christianity == Christianity began in the 1st century CE with the ministry of Jesus Christ in Judea. Important developments include: * c. 30 CE – Crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. * Pentecost and formation of the early Church. * Missionary journeys of Paul. * Persecution under the Roman Empire. * 313 CE – Constantine the Great issued the Edict of Milan, legalizing Christianity. * 325 CE – First Council of Nicaea defined key Christian doctrines. * 1054 – The Great Schism divided Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism. * 1517 – The Protestant Reformation began under Martin Luther. * Modern era – Christianity spread worldwide through missionary activity. ---- == Schaff's ''History of the Christian Church'' == Philip Schaff wrote ''History of the Christian Church'', one of the most influential histories of Christianity. The work consists of eight volumes covering: * Apostolic Christianity * Ante-Nicene Christianity * Nicene Christianity * Medieval Christianity * The Protestant Reformation * Post-Reformation Christianity Schaff emphasized historical scholarship while presenting Christianity's doctrinal and institutional development. ---- == History of Christianity by Century == === 1st Century === * Ministry of Jesus. * Apostolic Church established. === 2nd Century === * Spread throughout the Roman Empire. * Development of Church leadership. === 3rd Century === * Continued persecution. * Growth despite opposition. === 4th Century === * Christianity legalized. * Council of Nicaea. * Became the Roman Empire's official religion. === 5th–10th Centuries === * Rise of monasticism. * Christianization of Europe. === 11th Century === * Great Schism (1054). === 12th–15th Centuries === * Crusades. * Growth of universities. * Scholastic theology. === 16th Century === * Protestant Reformation. * Catholic Counter-Reformation. === 17th–18th Centuries === * Expansion through colonization. * Evangelical revivals. === 19th Century === * Global missionary movement. * Growth in Africa and Asia. === 20th Century === * Ecumenical movement. * Rapid expansion in the Global South. === 21st Century === * Christianity remains the world's largest religion. * Continued growth in Africa and parts of Asia. ---- == Timeline of Christianity == {| class="wikitable" !Year !Event |- |c. 4–6 BCE |Birth of Jesus |- |c. 30 CE |Crucifixion and Resurrection |- |c. 33 CE |Pentecost |- |49 CE |Council of Jerusalem |- |64 CE |Nero persecutes Christians |- |313 CE |Edict of Milan |- |325 CE |First Council of Nicaea |- |380 CE |Christianity becomes the Roman Empire's official religion |- |431 CE |Council of Ephesus |- |451 CE |Council of Chalcedon |- |1054 |Great Schism |- |1095 |First Crusade |- |1517 |Protestant Reformation |- |1545–1563 |Council of Trent |- |1910 |Edinburgh Missionary Conference |- |1962–1965 |Second Vatican Council |- |Present |Christianity continues as the world's largest religion by adherents. |} ---- == Major Christian Theologians == === Early Church === * Ignatius of Antioch * Irenaeus * Origen * Athanasius of Alexandria === Patristic Era === * Augustine of Hippo * Jerome === Medieval === * Thomas Aquinas * Anselm of Canterbury === Reformation === * Martin Luther * John Calvin * Huldrych Zwingli === Modern === * Karl Barth * Dietrich Bonhoeffer * C.

Wright These theologians have significantly shaped Christian doctrine, biblical interpretation, ethics, philosophy, and church history across different traditions == Origins and Historical Development of Christianity == === Origins of Christianity === Christianity originated in the 1st century CE in the Roman province of Judea, based on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus. It developed within the context of Second Temple Judaism and initially consisted of Jewish followers who believed that Jesus was the promised Messiah. After Jesus' death, his disciples spread his teachings throughout the Roman Empire, and Christianity gradually became a distinct religion. === Old Testament === The '''Old Testament''' is the first major division of the Christian Bible and largely corresponds to the Hebrew Bible, although the arrangement and number of books vary among Christian traditions. It contains writings composed over many centuries and includes: * The '''Pentateuch''' (Genesis–Deuteronomy) * Historical books * Wisdom literature * The Prophets The Old Testament describes God's covenant with Israel and contains prophecies that Christians interpret as pointing to the coming of Jesus Christ. === Inter-Testamental Period === The '''Inter-Testamental Period''' refers to the time between the completion of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament, approximately '''400 BCE to the early 1st century CE'''. During this period: * The Persian Empire declined. * Alexander the Great conquered much of the Near East. * Greek language and culture spread widely (Hellenization). * The Maccabean Revolt established a period of Jewish independence. * Judea later came under Roman rule. * Jewish religious groups such as the '''Pharisees''', '''Sadducees''', '''Essenes''', and '''Zealots''' emerged. This period provided the political, cultural, and religious background for the ministry of Jesus. === Outline of the Apostolic Period === The '''Apostolic Period''' refers to the earliest phase of Christianity, from the ministry of Jesus until the death of the last apostles (approximately '''30–100 CE'''). Major events include: * Ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus. * Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit. * Formation of the first Christian community in Jerusalem. * Missionary journeys of Paul the Apostle. * Establishment of churches throughout the Roman Empire. * Writing of the New Testament books. * Deaths of most of the apostles. The Apostolic Period laid the foundation for Christian doctrine, worship, and church organization. === Life of Jesus === According to the New Testament, Jesus was born in Bethlehem during the reign of King Herod. Christians believe that he was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born to the Virgin Mary. Key events in his life include: * Birth in Bethlehem. * Baptism by John the Baptist. * Public ministry lasting about three years. * Teaching through parables and sermons. * Healing the sick and performing miracles. * Choosing twelve apostles. * Crucifixion under the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. * Resurrection on the third day. * Ascension into heaven. Christians regard Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God. === The Historicity of Jesus of Nazareth === Most modern historians agree that Jesus of Nazareth was a historical person who lived in the 1st century CE. Historical evidence comes from: * The New Testament writings. * Jewish historian Josephus. * Roman historian Tacitus. * Other early Christian and non-Christian sources. While historians generally accept Jesus' existence, interpretations of his identity, miracles, and resurrection vary according to historical and religious perspectives. === The Christ === The title '''Christ''' comes from the Greek word '''Christos''', meaning '''"Anointed One,"''' which translates the Hebrew word '''Messiah'''. In Christianity, Jesus Christ is believed to be: * The promised Messiah foretold in the Old Testament. * The Son of God. * The Savior of humanity. * The Redeemer whose death and resurrection provide salvation. The title "Christ" is not Jesus' surname but a statement of his religious role. === The Apostles === The '''Apostles''' were Jesus' closest disciples, chosen to preach his message and lead the early Church. The Twelve Apostles were: * Simon Peter * Andrew the Apostle * James, son of Zebedee * John the Apostle * Philip the Apostle * Bartholomew the Apostle * Thomas the Apostle * Matthew the Apostle * James, son of Alphaeus * Jude the Apostle * Simon the Zealot * Judas Iscariot (later replaced by Matthias the Apostle) Paul, although not one of the Twelve, is also recognized as an apostle because of his missionary work. === Early Christianity === '''Early Christianity''' refers to the development of Christianity from the 1st to the early 4th century. Its characteristics included: * House churches. * Missionary expansion. * Periodic persecution under Roman emperors. * Development of bishops and church leadership. * Formation of Christian doctrines. * Writing and circulation of the New Testament. Christianity spread rapidly throughout the Roman Empire despite persecution. === Separation from Judaism === Christianity began as a movement within Judaism but gradually became a separate religion. Factors contributing to the separation included: * Belief that Jesus was the Messiah. * Admission of Gentile (non-Jewish) converts without requiring full observance of Jewish law. * Decisions of the Council of Jerusalem (c. 49 CE). * Destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. * Increasing theological and social differences between Jewish and Christian communities. By the 2nd century CE, Christianity had largely developed as a distinct religion. === Early Centers of Christianity === Several cities became important centers for the growth of Christianity: ==== Jerusalem ==== The birthplace of Christianity and location of the earliest Christian community. ==== Antioch ==== The place where followers of Jesus were first called "Christians." ==== Alexandria ==== A major center of Christian scholarship and theology. ==== Rome ==== Became the leading center of Western Christianity and the seat of the Bishop of Rome (the Pope). ==== Constantinople ==== Became the center of Eastern Christianity after Emperor Constantine established it as the capital of the Roman Empire. These cities played major roles in shaping Christian doctrine, worship, education, and church organization during the first centuries of Christianity ===[[/The Ante-Nicene Period/]]=== *[[/The Ante-Nicene Period/Outline of Ante-Nicene Period|Outline of Ante-Nicene Period]] *[[/The Ante-Nicene Period/Ante-Nicene Fathers|Ante-Nicene Fathers]] *[[/The Ante-Nicene Period/Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers|Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers]] *[[/The Ante-Nicene Period/Christian Gnosticism|Christian Gnosticism]] *[[/The Ante-Nicene Period/Ecumenical Councils|Ecumenical Councils]] *[[/The Ante-Nicene Period/The New Testament|The New Testament]] *[[/The Ante-Nicene Period/Dating the Bible|Dating the Bible]] *[[/The Ante-Nicene Period/Historical Reliability of the Gospels|Historical Reliability of the Gospels]] *[[/The Ante-Nicene Period/History of the Papacy|History of the Papacy]] *[[/The Ante-Nicene Period/Sacred Tradition|Sacred Tradition]] *[[/The Ante-Nicene Period/Constantine the Great and Christianity|Constantine the Great and Christianity]] *[[/The Ante-Nicene Period/Rulers who Converted to Christianity|Rulers who Converted to Christianity]] ===[[/The Nicene or Post-Nicene Period/]]=== *[[/The Nicene or Post-Nicene Period/Outline of the Nicene Period/|Outline of the Nicene Period]] *[[/The Nicene or Post-Nicene Period/The Cappadocian Fathers/|The Cappadocian Fathers]] *[[/The Nicene or Post-Nicene Period/Outline of the Byzantine Period/|Outline of the Byzantine Period]] *[[/The Nicene or Post-Nicene Period/Desert Fathers/|Desert Fathers]] *[[/The Nicene or Post-Nicene Period/Monasticism/|Monasticism]] *[[/The Nicene or Post-Nicene Period/Catechetical School of Alexandria/|Catechetical School of Alexandria]] *[[/The Nicene or Post-Nicene Period/Non-Chalcedonian Churches/|Non-Chalcedonian Churches]] ===[[/Medieval Christianity/]]=== *[[/Medieval Christianity/Development of the Medieval Church|Development of the Medieval Church]] *[[/Medieval Christianity/Christianization|Christianization]] *[[/Medieval Christianity/Celtic Christianity|Celtic Christianity]] *[[/Medieval Christianity/The Holy Roman Empire|The Holy Roman Empire]] *[[/Medieval Christianity/Crusades|Crusades]] *[[/Medieval Christianity/The Great Schism|The Great Schism]] *[[/Medieval Christianity/The Eastern Orthodox Church|The Eastern Orthodox Church]] *[[/Medieval Christianity/Franciscans|Franciscans]] *[[/Medieval Christianity/Inquisition|Inquisition]] *[[/Medieval Christianity/Waldensians|Waldensians]] *[[/Medieval Christianity/Catharism|Catharism]] ===[[/Reformation/]]=== *[[/Reformation/History of Modern Christianity|History of Modern Christianity]] *[[/Reformation/The Renaissance|The Renaissance]] *[[/Reformation/The Society of Jesus|The Society of Jesus]] *[[/Reformation/The Reformation in Germany|The Reformation in Germany]] *[[/Reformation/Swiss Reformation|Swiss Reformation]] *[[/Reformation/French Reformation|French Reformation]] *[[/Reformation/English Reformation|English Reformation]] *[[/Reformation/Free Church Movement|Free Church Movement]] *[[/Reformation/Christianity in the US|Christianity in the US]] *[[/Reformation/Christian Ecumenism|Christian Ecumenism]] *[[/Reformation/Systematic Theology|Systematic Theology]] ===[[/Post Modern Christian Theology/|Modern and Contemporary Christian Theology]]=== *[[/Reformation/History of Christian Theology|History of Christian Theology]] *[[/Post Modern Christian Theology/Liberal Christianity|Liberal Christianity]] *[[Neo-Orthdoxy]] *[[/Post Modern Christian Theology/Evangelicalism|Evangelicalism]] *[[Pentecostalism(s)/Charismatic Movement(s)]] *[[Postliberalism]] *[[/Post Modern Christian Theology/Liberation Theology|Liberation Theology]] *[[Global Christian Theology]] *[[/Post Modern Christian Theology/Christian Heresies in the 20th Century|Christian Heresies in the 20th Century]] *[[/Post Modern Christian Theology/Christian Devotional Literature|Christian Devotional Literature]] *[[New Apostolic Reformation]] {{Stub}} {{Alphabetical|H}} {{Shelves|Religious history}} {{status|0%}} jpou470fgjaylpuele03gbixy1f0sbx 0 12544 4681570 4412995 2026-11-11T11:33:26Z 一隻北極熊 3609960 4681570 wikitext text/x-wiki The dot stroke is the simplest stroke in East Asian writing systems. Despite its name, it is ''not'' just a dot &mdash; it has length (sometimes quite long), and direction. In fact, it is the shape of this stroke, and not its length, that makes it a dot stroke.

In general, a dot stroke is defined by the following properties: # They go downward. #* Most dot strokes go diagonally downwards and rightwards. A few go leftwards, or straight down. # They start soft and end hard. #* Dot strokes don't trail off. The instant before you lift your pencil / pen off the paper should be one where you're applying force onto the paper. # They tend to curve down. #* This is mostly a consequence of the second point above. As you apply more and more force you tend to draw your hand closer to your body, hence curving the stroke downwards. #* However, please don't overdo this. This feature should be a natural result of point 2 above. If you find yourself curving the stroke deliberately, then you're probably overdoing it. If it doesn't curve, then leave it. Not all dot strokes need to curve. Let's take a look at three examples, the Chinese character for "heart", the Japanese katakana ''mi'', and the Korean syllable for ''si'': [[Image:CJK 1-01-01.PNG]] The first, third and fourth strokes of "heart", all of the strokes of "mi", and the second stroke of "si" all show the properties of dot strokes. {{BookCat}} 9ae3yj6ufldzgtd0yf03p4eg8zp0fv5 0 13215 4681385 4666658 2026-11-10T15:35:14Z UNITED UAV Official 3631002 /* Spatial Data */ Explain aerial photos and orthoimages with a USGS comparison (affiliation: UNITED UAV) 4681385 wikitext text/x-wiki {{TOCright}} == Introduction == GIS is an organised collection of computer programs, computer, geographic data, and people. This definition gives you the components that make up GIS. People who know how to use computer (hardware) and programme (software) to provide information (from geographic data) are able to solve a problem or answer a specific question. == What is GIS? == Geographic Information Systems provide a method for integrating and analyzing spatial (digital map based) information such as "where is the nearest movie theater?" alongside related non-spatial information (what movies are playing there?). GIS have three major capabilities (computer mapping, spatial analysis and spatial database) and can operate on a range of platforms (desktop/laptop computer, Internet, PDA, etc.). Many people are becoming far more familiar with seeing the results both textually—for example, when their phone shows them the nearest pub—and on open map systems such as Google Maps. Where in the past people had to literally use pencils and string on a paper map to find their nearest school, a computer can do this now extremely quickly an accurately, as long as all the information has been entered correctly in the first place. In a broader context, GIS involves people and often brings a philosophy of change. For example, in 1994, the New York Police Department introduced GIS to locate crime 'hot-spots', analyze underlying problems and devise strategies and solutions to deal with the problems. Since 1993, violent crime has dropped by two-thirds in New York City.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/html/pct/cspdf.html|title=New York Crime Statistics}}</ref> This strategy, known as COMPSTAT, has expanded to cities and jurisdictions across the United States and around the world. === GIS Software === One leading GIS software vendor is ESRI, based in Redlands, California, which offers ArcGIS for the desktop, ArcGIS Server for Internet mapping, ArcPad for PDAs and a range of other products and services for developers. Other popular GIS software packages are available from Cadcorp, Intergraph, MapInfo, Manifold and Autodesk.

In geography this is an indispensable tool for map-making in expressing relevant geographic information, especially in [[w:Topological map|topological maps]]. === A Brief History Of Topology === === Topology In Mathematics === === Navigation === === Why Is Geospatial Topology Important In A GIS? === Geospatial analysis provides a unique perspective on the world. It is a tool with which to examine events, patterns, and processes that operate on or near the surface of our planet. To have this tool interact with the relevant topological information is a must; providing greater understanding of how rivers flow, weather is affected by terrain, or even how humans and other animals flow or choose a specific habitat. This kind of information can only be gathered and made useful if topological information is present in the GIS. == Spatial Data == Spatial data comes in two major formats, as vector or raster data. The main difference is that a raster is usually a static background picture used to illustrate, whereas a vector is an intelligent ladder of information that can be selected and searched. '''Vector (points, lines, polygons)''' Vector data often represents anthropogenic (human) features such as roads, buildings, political boundaries (counties, congressional districts, etc.), and other features such as lakes and rivers. Vector data is scalable without loss of resolution and is generally represented by XYZ points in a Cartesian frame reference. '''Raster (grids/images)''' Raster data is pixellated data, and the more pixels that map the data, the better the resolution. However, if raster data is enlarged, it simply enlarges the pixels, which then leads to a loss of resolution. There are many moves being made to make raster data more usable/searchable as it is much faster to collect, unlike vectors where each piece of data usually has a manual input origin. Raster data is usually derived from satellite imagery or aerial photography (known as remote sensing). Ordinary cameras are only sensitive to visible light. Satellite sensors can capture not only visible light, but also the thermal, microwave, infrared or other types of energy emanating from the Earth's surface. This extra data provides information about sea surface temperatures, vegetation, ozone, etc. Remote sensing is also used to study other planets and extraterrestrial bodies, such as Mars. === Aerial photographs and orthoimages === An uncorrected aerial photograph records the scene from the camera's viewpoint. Camera tilt and changes in terrain elevation can shift where features appear and cause the scale to vary across the image. An '''orthoimage''' (also called an '''orthophoto''') corrects these geometric effects so the image has a uniform map scale. In a GIS, it can serve as a basemap for overlaying other layers and measuring distances within the accuracy of the underlying data.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/what-a-digital-orthophoto-quadrangle-doq-or-orthoimage |title=What is a digital orthophoto quadrangle (DOQ) or orthoimage? |publisher=U.S. Geological Survey |date=February 1, 2022}}</ref> [[File:Orthophoto vs airphoto.jpg|thumb|center|480px|alt=Two views of the same pipeline: its path appears bent in the aerial photograph and straight in the orthoimage.|U.S. Geological Survey comparison near Arkton, Virginia.

State governments also serve spatial data through GIS portals such as [http://www.state.ma.us/mgis/ MassGIS]. As well, many local governments have detailed GIS data of tax parcels, roads, buildings, etc. Other governments around the world also offer spatial data, though not necessarily for free.

'''Vector (points, lines, polygons)''' Vector data often represents anthropogenic (human) features such as roads, buildings, political boundaries (counties, congressional districts, etc.), and other features such as lakes and rivers. Vector data is scalable without loss of resolution and is generally represented by XYZ points in a Cartesian frame reference. '''Raster (grids/images)''' Raster data is pixellated data, and the more pixels that map the data, the better the resolution. However, if raster data is enlarged, it simply enlarges the pixels, which then leads to a loss of resolution. There are many moves being made to make raster data more usable/searchable as it is much faster to collect, unlike vectors where each piece of data usually has a manual input origin. Raster data is usually derived from satellite imagery or aerial photography (known as remote sensing). Ordinary cameras are only sensitive to visible light. Satellite sensors can capture not only visible light, but also the thermal, microwave, infrared or other types of energy emanating from the Earth's surface. This extra data provides information about sea surface temperatures, vegetation, ozone, etc. Remote sensing is also used to study other planets and extraterrestrial bodies, such as Mars. === Aerial photographs and orthoimages === An uncorrected aerial photograph records the scene from the camera's viewpoint. Camera tilt and changes in terrain elevation can shift where features appear and cause the scale to vary across the image. An '''orthoimage''' (also called an '''orthophoto''') corrects these geometric effects so the image has a uniform map scale. In a GIS, it can serve as a basemap for overlaying other layers and measuring distances within the accuracy of the underlying data.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/what-a-digital-orthophoto-quadrangle-doq-or-orthoimage |title=What is a digital orthophoto quadrangle (DOQ) or orthoimage? |publisher=U.S. Geological Survey |date=February 1, 2022}}</ref> [[File:Orthophoto vs airphoto.jpg|thumb|center|480px|alt=Two views of the same pipeline: its path appears bent in the aerial photograph and straight in the orthoimage.|U.S. Geological Survey comparison near Arkton, Virginia.

In the '''Basemap Gallery''', select '''USGS Imagery Only Base Map from The National Map'''. Zoom in on a road junction in the United States until you can see the pavement in the imagery. # Open the '''Layer List''' and turn on '''Transportation'''. Without moving or zooming the map, turn the layer off and back on. Compare the roads visible in the aerial image with the lines drawn in the transportation layer. # Describe one place where the layers agree. If a road appears in only one layer or the two positions differ, check when each dataset was collected or updated and consider whether the datasets depict the same features. === Data sources === The U.S. Federal Government offers a wealth of spatial data for free or at cost, with major offerings from the [http://www.usgs.gov/ United States Geological Survey (USGS)], [http://www.nsas.gov/ NASA] and the [http://tiger.census.gov/ U.S. Census Bureau]. State governments also serve spatial data through GIS portals such as [http://www.state.ma.us/mgis/ MassGIS]. As well, many local governments have detailed GIS data of tax parcels, roads, buildings, etc. Other governments around the world also offer spatial data, though not necessarily for free. Private industry also offers GIS data, with TeleAtlas/GDT offering a wealth of vector data, while Ikonos and DigitalGlobe (QuickBird) provide high-resolution satellite imagery.

It is usually fermented in a brine of [[Cookbook:Anchovy|anchovy]] sauce, [[Cookbook:Ginger|ginger]], [[Cookbook:Garlic|garlic]], [[Cookbook:Green onion|green onion]], and [[Cookbook:Chili Pepper|chilli pepper]]. There are countless varieties—at least as many as there are households. The following is a standard recipe for ''baechoo kimchi'' (napa-cabbage kimchi), a common variety and often the first kind of kimchi that jumps to mind for non-Koreans. ==Ingredients== *1 head [[Cookbook:Cabbage|napa cabbage]] (baechu, Chinese cabbage, wombok) *½ [[Cookbook:Cup|cup]] sea salt (or any coarse salt) *1 cup [[Cookbook:Water|water]] *2 [[Cookbook:Tbsp|tbsp]] [[Cookbook:Mincing|minced]] [[Cookbook:Garlic|garlic]] *1 [[Cookbook:Tsp|tsp]] minced [[Cookbook:Ginger|ginger]] *½ [[Cookbook:Cup|cup]] [[Cookbook:Gochugaru|gochugaru]] (Korean chile flakes) *2 tsp [[Cookbook:Salt|salt]] *1 tbsp [[Cookbook:Sugar|sugar]] *¼ cup [[Cookbook:Fish Sauce|aekjeot]] (Korean fish sauce) *½ [[Cookbook:Onion|onion]], thinly [[Cookbook:Slicing|sliced]] *¼ [[Cookbook:Carrot|carrot]], thinly [[Cookbook:Julienne|julienned]] *¼ Korean [[Cookbook:Radish|radish]] (muwoo), thinly julienned *4 [[Cookbook:Green onion|green onions]], cut into 3-cm pieces ==Procedure== #Quarter the napa cabbage, wash, and drain. #Combine coarse sea salt and water. #Put cabbages in salted water and take out one at a time to get salt down. #Add cabbages to a container. Pour salted water over top, and set aside for at least 6–8 hours (overnight is great). The cabbage should be soft enough to bend. #Wash cabbages and drain well. #Combine gochugaru, salt, sugar, jeot gal (Korean fish sauce), minced garlic, and minced ginger. #Mix the onion, carrot, radish, and green onion into the chilli powder mixture. #Take one cabbage, and stuff the above mixture between every layer. #Try to fold the cabbage in half. With 2 outer leaves, wrap the whole thing securely. #Put cabbages in an airtight container, and let it sit at room temperature overnight. #Refrigerate for 2–3 days at minimum. After a few days, you will notice some liquid. This is totally normal and a sign that the kimchi is ripening. #Enjoy your kimchi! ==Notes, tips, and variations== *Korean radishes are large (about ½ to 1 kilogram). Japanese (daikon) radishes or a larger quantity of small European radishes could substitute. *The brine can be varied to include many other ingredients. Be creative. *The aekjeot can be replaced with moderate amounts of saeujeot (Korean salted tiny shrimp), raw butterfish, or raw oysters. Seafood can also be left out entirely, although an appropriate amount of salt needs to be added in place of missing jeot gal. Alternative flavors can include Asian pears or tangerines.

Note that the country's name can also be used as an adjective. For example, 日本货/日本貨 (rìběn huò) means "Japanese goods," and is derived from 日本 (rìběn; Japan) and 货/貨 (huò; goods). As an aside, China imports a good number of products from Japan. Between 2001 and 2007, it was the greatest exporter to China, beating the European Union, South Korea, and Taiwan.<ref> {{cite web | url = http://www.starmass.com/china_review/imports_exports/china_top_import_source.htm | title = China Imports by Main Countries | accessdate = 22 June 2012 | author = Starmass International}} </ref> You could also say 日本椅子 (rìběn yǐzi; Japanese chair), 日本食品 (rìběn shípǐn; Japanese food products), and 日本动画片/日本動畫片 (rìběn dònghuà piàn; Japanese cartoons). Terms like these can be shortened, for example, 日货/日貨 means the same thing. You can see 日 is an adjective which means "pertaining to Japan," i.e., "Japanese." Another way to describe its function is that it acts like a "root," much like in English. Headlines are often abbreviated this way. For example, 中俄合作 (zhōng é hézuò) can mean "China and Russia cooperate" or "Sino-Russian cooperation." In common conversation, however, excessive abbreviation is undesirable, because it often leads to ambiguity. ;References {{Reflist}} == Asia 亚洲 / 亞洲 ''Yàzhōu'' == {| class="wikitable" width="100%"

use it as a huge review... A simple past and edit. --[[User:Andrewcool|Andrewcool]] 02:36, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC) In level 1 Section I.3, no section mentions the question words... --[[User:cwwongak|cwwongak]] 06:35, 2 Jan 2017 (GMT+8) == Look of the contents pages == The number of images on the contents page (especially this level) is a bit excessive. In Firefox, the castle photo squashes the text and the three bits of clipart as well as levels 1, 2 and 3 together. However, in Internet Explorer, it looks even worse with a large gap of white space. I propose losing the clipart (you never see clipart in the contents pages of textbooks) :That's fine by me. Actually, the white space was there before I put the clipart in, and I thought that it would liven up the page (I use IE). If we reformat the page as you suggest, could we add the clipart back in? Of course, it would be nice if we could get actual photos, or a good artist... Anyway, would you happen to know if there's a way to make the castle photo some kind of background? - [[User:SamE|SamE]] 00:40, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC) == Activity == I was just curious about how active this book actually is. I am interested in using this German book to assist me in my learning but as of now it does not appear to have much activity in the building of it. Will the book have added pages soon? --[[User:Mitchowen|Mitchowen]] 16:58, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC) :I don't know how active this book is either, as I just started working on it myself.

No, it was representative until 16th century. "it was replaced by the fraktur as the most-used German typeface". OK, we can use something like [http://www.gwdg.de/forschung/publikationen/gwdg-nr/GN0506/images/baier-gn200506-abb1.gif] but A Beginner| Cour|e in German is an ugly typo (except for you) :) --[[User:213.39.233.138|213.39.233.138]] 17:07, 15 May 2006 (UTC) Just a short info about the "ſ". This letter never used to occur in the end of a syllable, hence "Beginner's" would always have been written with an "s" (indicating the end of a syllable was the point of using two kinds of "s" in the first place - e.g. in "Häschen" - not "Häſchen"). As for the "ſ" in today's German - it is non-existent. Thus, I would suggest removing it all together. After all, learning a historical version of German won't be of much help to a beginner after all. --Martin, [[User:Eichendorffschule|Eichendorffschule]] 23:00, 19 May 2006 (UTC) *We shouldn't use special fonts for this purpose.

Stroke-like shapes can be found in あ、お、き、け、さ、す、せ、た、ち、な、は、ほ、ま、む、も、よ、を.<br></small> In general, a horizontal stroke is defined by the following properties: # They slant upwards. #* Theoretically, all horizontal strokes should slant upwards at a very slight angle. # They start hard and end hard. #* Horizontal strokes don't trail off. The instant before you lift your pencil / pen off the paper should be one where you're applying force onto the paper. #* '''However''', there is a tendency where horizontal strokes '''do''' trail off, if they are on the left half of a character, is not joined by another stroke on the right end, and is the last stroke in that side of the character. This arises naturally, because the pen / pencil / brush goes on immediately to write the right side of the character without stopping. Also as a result of this, the stroke tends to point diagonally upwards, and straight. # They may curve down at the end. #* Like the dot stroke, this is mostly a consequence of the second point above. As you apply more and more force you tend to draw your hand closer to your body, hence curving the stroke downwards. #* However, please don't overdo this. This feature should be a natural result of point 2 above. If you find yourself curving the stroke deliberately, then you're definitely overdoing it. If it doesn't curve, then leave it. Horizontal strokes don't need to curve &mdash; this applies here even more than it does with the dot stroke. Let's take a look at three examples, the Chinese character for "three", the Japanese katakana ''ni'', and the Korean syllable for ''pa'': [[File:CJK 1-02-01.png|400px]]<br> All of the strokes of "three", all of the strokes of "mi", and first, fourth, and last strokes for "pi" all show the properties of horizontal strokes. To show a situation where the horizontal doesn't trail off, here are two Chinese characters, for "bean" and "head", respectively. [[File:CJK 1-02-02.PNG]] Note that the character "bean" is found on the left side of the character for "head". The last stroke of "bean", a horizontal stroke, is made to trail off and point up. {{BookCat}} 3rzlus8wlmror9s3ro6lgh8nt6j84vr 0 23556 4681573 4001095 2026-11-11T11:37:07Z JensApsomer 3545568 /* Table of Contents */ 4681573 wikitext text/x-wiki == Table of Content == * [[{{BOOKNAME}}/Origins of Marxism/|Origins of Marxism]] * [[{{BOOKNAME}}/Historical Materialism/|Historical Materialism]] * [[Alienation]] * [[{{BOOKNAME}}/Marxist Economics/|Marxist Economics]] {{Expand}} == Citations and Referances == {{Reflist}} # [[wikisource:Socialism, Utopian and Scientific|Socialism, Utopian and Scientific]] - Frederick Engels, March 1880 # [[wikisource:The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon|The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon]] - Karl Marx, March 1852 # [[wikisource:Manifesto of the Communist Party|Manifesto of the Communist Party]] - Karl Marx, February 21, 1848.<br> # [[wikisource:The State and Revolution|The State and Revolution]] - Vladimir Lenin, 1918. # [http://www.econ.utah.edu/~ehrbar/akmc.htm|Ehrbar's Annotations] - A Website of a Marxist economist who analyzes Marx's major economic texts line by line. {{Alphabetical|M}} {{Shelves|Political ideologies}} {{status|0%}} 5d2oyae1jmqbxv3wgust5bz167fbpuq 0 137283 4681371 4654354 2026-11-10T14:59:06Z JCrue 2226064 4681371 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Chess Opening Theory/Position |King's Indian defence |eco=[[Chess/ECOE|E61]] |parent=[[Chess Opening Theory/1. d4/1...Nf6|Indian defence]] → [[Chess Opening Theory/1. d4/1...Nf6/2. c4/2...g6|King's Indian defence]] → [[../|3.

One of the common plans for Black is to launch a kingside attack with f5, while White will often launch their own attack on the queenside where they have the space advantage. [[/4. e4|'''4. e4''']] is the main continuation. White now has enough control of e4 to put the pawn there and clamp down on the d5 square. This prevents Black from playing ...d5 and transposing into the Grünfeld defence. [[/4. Nf3|'''4. Nf3''']] is a sideline. It may transpose back into the main line king's Indian after 4...O-O 5. e4 d6, but also allows Black to change their mind and play 4...d5 after all, transposing into the three knights variation of the Grünfeld. == Theory table == {{ChessTable}} {{Chess/theory table |line1=4. e4 d6 5.

It also prepares to play e5 or c5 at some point. White has a variety of sharp choices: [[/5. Nf3|'''5. Nf3''']], the '''classical''' or '''orthodox variation''', results in a race on opposite sides: White tries to break through on the queenside before Black's forces get to the White king. Having taken the lion's share of the centre, White must now develop their minor pieces and castle. After 5...O-O 6. Be2, Black tries for the 6...e5 pawn break, and how White responds leads to the next major branching point of the theory. 5. Nf3 is by far the most popular line. [[/5. Be2|'''5. Be2''']] is commonly an alternative move order that reaches the main line position after 5...O-O 6. Nf3. However it may also be played with the idea of 6. Bg5, the Averbakh variation, while [[/5. Bg5|'''5. Bg5''']] immediately is the '''accelerated Averbakh variation'''. [[/5. f3|'''5. f3''']], the aggressive '''Sämisch variation''', is the chief sideline. White will normally castle queenside (although castling kingside can also occur) and attacks along the h-file. After 5...O-O 6. Be3, Black chooses between the 6...e5 pawn break, as in the classical variation, or 6...c5, the tactical Sämisch gambit. [[/5. f4|'''5. f4''']], the '''four pawns attack''', is the most megalomaniacal variation. White gains even more space with a fourth pawn on the fourth rank. Black must react quickly to avoid getting crushed by White's centre, but in the long term they can exploit the weak squares the advancing pawns have left behind. This is the most popular sideline at the amateur level. [[/5. h3|'''5. h3''']] is the quirky '''Makogonov variation''', which stops a knight or bishop from getting into g4 while retaining the option of Nf3. [[/5. g3|'''5. g3''']], the '''deferred fianchetto''', is the most positional variation. Normally the position is fluid. Black usually exchanges his e-pawn for White's d-pawn, Black tries to play on the queenside dark squares and against e4, while White lines their forces up against d6 and the kingside. [[/5. Nge2|'''5. Nge2''']] is the '''Kramer variation'''. 5. Nge2 intends Ng3, keeping the option of f3, similar to the Sämisch. ==Theory table== {{Chess Opening Theory/Table}} '''1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3.

Several years ago I spent hundreds of hours trying to do the first review of every page. I managed to get all the root pages done but only got as far as "E" for the other pages.

I concluded it was an impossible task unless lots of people joined in the work but that didn't happen and I doubt it ever will. I do think it has value for Wikijunior in showing the last reviewed page rather than the possibly offensively vandalised latest revision, but other than that it's a waste of time.

Additionally, setups with a queenside fianchetto, e3, Nc3, Qc2 are possible to fight for the dark squares, sometimes even with Rg1 and g4 thrown in for wild attacks. Finally, White still retains the option of d2-d4, transposing back into a 1. d4 opening. White has struck in the centre with 2. c4, putting immediate pressure. Although the d5 pawn is defended, if Black leaves the pawn there, e.g. '''2...Nf6?!''', then White eliminates a centre pawn and scores tempo on the black queen for a nice game, 3. cxd5 Qxd5 4. Nc3 {{chess/not|+}}. Thus, Black usually responds to this threat. === Defending the pawn === '''[[/2...c6/]]''' or '''[[/2...e6/]]''', defending the pawn with another pawn, lead to structures resembling the Queen's gambit declined or Slav defence respectively, and can transpose into either of them if White chooses to do so. However, White can deviate with 3. g3, leading the positions that resemble the Catalan opening, 3. b3 or 3. e3 === Advancing the pawn === '''[[/2...d5/]]''', the '''advance variation''', takes space and is the most testing try against the Reti. The pawn on d4 restricts White's development and leads to positioning resembling a Benoni with colours reserved. From here, White usually takes space on the queen's side with b4 and challenges the pawn with e3, while Black tries to hold onto the pawn with ...Nc6 and ...c5. A main line in this variation is known as the reversed Blumenfeld gambit (similar to the Blumenfeld countergambit played as Black), going 3. e3 c5 4. b4 dxe3 5. fxe3 cxb4 6. d4, where Black is up a pawn, but it's a weak pawn on b4, and White has central control and development to compensate for that. White is generally considered to get enough compensation for the pawn in this line and gets a ~52% score from it. White can also choose to avoid this line and go for 3. g3, which leads to positions resembling the Modern Benoni, where White aims to heavily pressure the kingside. === Capturing the pawn === In a sense, White has offered a gambit because Black can just take the c-pawn, [[/2...dxc4|'''2...dxc4''']], the so-called '''Réti accepted'''. This isn't considered the best, but theory and practice has shown that Black does just fine. Black cannot hold on to the pawn and shouldn't try. The main continuation is 3. e3 Nf6 4. Bxc4 e6. If White chooses to play d4, the game may transpose into the queen's gambit accepted, which is usually fine for both sides, e.g. after e.g. 5.

A main line in this variation is known as the reversed Blumenfeld gambit (similar to the Blumenfeld countergambit played as Black), going 3. e3 c5 4. b4 dxe3 5. fxe3 cxb4 6. d4, where Black is up a pawn, but it's a weak pawn on b4, and White has central control and development to compensate for that. White is generally considered to get enough compensation for the pawn in this line and gets a ~52% score from it. White can also choose to avoid this line and go for 3. g3, which leads to positions resembling the Modern Benoni, where White aims to heavily pressure the kingside. === Capture the pawn === In a sense, White has offered a gambit because Black can just take the c-pawn, [[/2...dxc4|'''2...dxc4''']], the so-called '''Réti accepted'''. This isn't considered the best, but theory and practice has shown that Black does just fine. Black cannot hold on to the pawn and shouldn't try. The main continuation is 3. e3 Nf6 4. Bxc4 e6. If White chooses to play d4, the game may transpose into the queen's gambit accepted, which is usually fine for both sides, e.g. after e.g. 5. O-O c5 6. d4 Nf6. == Theory table == {{Chess Opening Theory/Table}} {{Chess/theory table |line1=2...c6 3. g3 Nf6 4. Bg2 dxc4 5. O-O Nbd7 |name1=Anglo-Slav variation |line2=2. ... ... 3. e3 Nf6 4.

The program seems a little repetitive. Programmers hate to repeat things -- that's what computers are for, after all! (Note also that finding the absolute value changed the value of the variable, which is why it is printing out 23, and not -23 in the output.) Fortunately Python allows you to create functions to remove duplication. Here is the rewritten example: <syntaxhighlight lang=python> a = 23 b = -23 def absolute_value(n): if n < 0: n = -n return n if absolute_value(a) == absolute_value(b): print("The absolute values of", a, "and", b, "are equal.") else: print("The absolute values of", a, "and", b, "are different.") </syntaxhighlight> with the output being: The absolute values of 23 and -23 are equal. The key feature of this program is the <code>def</code> statement. <code>def</code> (short for define) starts a function definition. <code>def</code> is followed by the name of the function <code>absolute_value</code>. Next comes a '(' followed by the parameter <code>n</code> (<code>n</code> is passed from the program into the function when the function is called). The statements after the ':' are executed when the function is used. The statements continue until either the indented statements end or a <code>return</code> is encountered. The <code>return</code> statement returns a value back to the place where the function was called. We already have encountered a function in our very first program, the <code>print</code> function. Now we can make new functions. Notice how the values of <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> are not changed. Functions can be used to repeat tasks that don't return values. Here are some examples: <syntaxhighlight lang="python"> def hello(): print("Hello") def area(width, height): return width * height def print_welcome(name): print("Welcome", name) hello() hello() print_welcome("Fred") w = 4 h = 5 print("width =", w, " height =", h, " area =", area(w, h)) </syntaxhighlight> with output being: Hello Hello Welcome Fred width = 4 height = 5 area = 20 That example shows some more stuff that you can do with functions. Notice that you can use no arguments or two or more. Notice also when a function doesn't need to send back a value, a return is optional. <!-- Functions can be used to eliminate repeat code. --> === Variables in functions === When eliminating repeated code, you often have variables in the repeated code. In Python, these are dealt with in a special way. So far all variables we have seen are global variables. Functions have a special type of variable called local variables. These variables only exist while the function is running. When a local variable has the same name as another variable (such as a global variable), the local variable hides the other. Sound confusing? Well, these next examples (which are a bit contrived) should help clear things up. <syntaxhighlight lang="python"> a = 4 def print_func(): a = 17 print("in print_func a =", a) print_func() print("a = ", a) </syntaxhighlight> When run, we will receive an output of: in print_func a = 17 a = 4 Variable assignments inside a function do not override global variables, they exist only inside the function. Even though <code>a</code> was assigned a new value inside the function, this newly assigned value was only relevant to <code>print_func</code>, when the function finishes running, and the <code>a</code>'s values is printed again, we see the originally assigned values. Here is another more complex example. <syntaxhighlight lang="python"> a_var = 10 b_var = 15 e_var = 25 def a_func(a_var): print("in a_func a_var =", a_var) b_var = 100 + a_var d_var = 2 * a_var print("in a_func b_var =", b_var) print("in a_func d_var =", d_var) print("in a_func e_var =", e_var) return b_var + 10 c_var = a_func(b_var) print("a_var =", a_var) print("b_var =", b_var) print("c_var =", c_var) print("d_var =", d_var) </syntaxhighlight> output: in a_func a_var = 15 in a_func b_var = 115 in a_func d_var = 30 in a_func e_var = 25 a_var = 10 b_var = 15 c_var = 125 d_var = Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\def2.py", line 19, in <module> print("d_var = ", d_var) NameError: name 'd_var' is not defined In this example the variables <code>a_var</code>, <code>b_var</code>, and <code>d_var</code> are all local variables when they are inside the function <code>a_func</code>. After the statement <code>return b_var + 10</code> is run, they all cease to exist. The variable <code>a_var</code> is automatically a local variable since it is a parameter name. The variables <code>b_var</code> and <code>d_var</code> are local variables since they appear on the left of an equals sign in the function in the statements <code>b_var = 100 + a_var</code> and <code>d_var = 2 * a_var</code> . Inside of the function <code>a_var</code> has no value assigned to it. When the function is called with <code>c_var = a_func(b_var)</code>, 15 is assigned to <code>a_var</code> since at that point in time <code>b_var</code> is 15, making the call to the function <code>a_func(15)</code>. This ends up setting <code>a_var</code> to 15 when it is inside of <code>a_func</code>. As you can see, once the function finishes running, the local variables <code>a_var</code> and <code>b_var</code> that had hidden the global variables of the same name are gone. Then the statement <code>print("a_var = ", a_var)</code> prints the value <code>10</code> rather than the value <code>15</code> since the local variable that hid the global variable is gone. Another thing to notice is the <code>NameError</code> that happens at the end. This appears since the variable <code>d_var</code> no longer exists since <code>a_func</code> finished. All the local variables are deleted when the function exits. If you want to get something from a function, then you will have to use <code>return something</code>. One last thing to notice is that the value of <code>e_var</code> remains unchanged inside <code>a_func</code> since it is not a parameter and it never appears on the left of an equals sign inside of the function <code>a_func</code>. When a global variable is accessed inside a function it is the global variable from the outside. Functions allow local variables that exist only inside the function and can hide other variables that are outside the function. === Examples === '''temperature2.py''' <syntaxhighlight lang="python"> #! /usr/bin/python #-*-coding: utf-8 -*- # converts temperature to Fahrenheit or Celsius def print_options(): print("Options:") print(" 'p' print options") print(" 'c' convert from Celsius") print(" 'f' convert from Fahrenheit") print(" 'q' quit the program") def celsius_to_fahrenheit(c_temp): return 9.0 / 5.0 * c_temp + 32 def fahrenheit_to_celsius(f_temp): return (f_temp - 32.0) * 5.0 / 9.0 choice = "p" while choice != "q": if choice == "c": c_temp = float(input("Celsius temperature: ")) print("Fahrenheit:", celsius_to_fahrenheit(c_temp)) choice = input("option: ") elif choice == "f": f_temp = float(input("Fahrenheit temperature: ")) print("Celsius:", fahrenheit_to_celsius(f_temp)) choice = input("option: ") else: choice = "p" #Alternatively choice != "q": so that print #when anything unexpected inputed print_options() choice = input("option: ") </syntaxhighlight> Sample Run: Options: 'p' print options 'c' convert from celsius 'f' convert from fahrenheit 'q' quit the program option: '''c''' Celsius temperature: '''30''' Fahrenheit: 86.0 option: '''f''' Fahrenheit temperature: '''60''' Celsius: 15.5555555556 option: '''q''' '''area2.py''' <syntaxhighlight lang="python"> #! /usr/bin/python #-*-coding: utf-8 -*- # calculates a given rectangle area def hello(): print('Hello!') def area(width, height): return width * height def print_welcome(name): print('Welcome,', name) def positive_input(prompt): number = float(input(prompt)) while number <= 0: print('Must be a positive number') number = float(input(prompt)) return number name = input('Your Name: ') hello() print_welcome(name) print() print('To find the area of a rectangle,') print('enter the width and height below.') print() w = positive_input('Width: ') h = positive_input('Height: ') print('Width =', w, ' Height =', h, ' so Area =', area(w, h)) </syntaxhighlight> Sample Run: Your Name: '''Josh''' Hello!

'''''Paella roja''''' is a classic version of mixed paella in Spain (not including the Valencian region). Paella aficionados refer to it as '''mixed''' because it combines meat from land animals with seafood. The recipe below is based on the one displayed on Spain-recipes.com<ref>[http://www.spain-recipes.com/red-paella.html Red paella recipe on Spain-recipes.com]</ref> but with more ingredients. It requires some time to prepare but it's well worth the effort. Please read ''[[cookbook:paella cooking techniques|paella cooking techniques]]'' before attempting this recipe. == Ingredients == === Broth === *225 [[Cookbook:Gram|grams]] (½ [[Cookbook:Pound|pound]]) [[cookbook:chicken|chicken]] wings *225 [[Cookbook:Gram|grams]] (½ pound) of any of the following: frozen seafood mix, fish heads, whole [[cookbook:crab|crabs]], [[cookbook:shrimp|shrimp]] heads, [[wikipedia:smelt|smelts]] *1 medium [[cookbook:onion|onion]] *1 green [[cookbook:Bell Pepper|bell pepper]] *3 [[cookbook:garlic|garlic cloves]] *3.8 [[Cookbook:Liter|liters]] (1 [[Cookbook:Gallon|gallon]]) [[Cookbook:water|Water]] *2 [[Cookbook:Bay Leaf|bay leaves]] === Paella === *[[cookbook:Olive Oil|Olive oil]] *1½–2 red bell peppers, cut into strips *[[Cookbook:Salt|Salt]] to taste *340 grams (12 ounces) boneless chicken breast or tenderloins *6 [[Cookbook:garlic|large garlic]] [[Cookbook:clove|cloves]], [[Cookbook:Mince|minced]] *225 [[Cookbook:Gram|grams]] (8 ounces) [[Cookbook: onion|onion]], [[Cookbook:Dice|diced]] *450 [[Cookbook:Gram|grams]] (1 pound) red bell pepper, diced *450 [[Cookbook:Gram|grams]] (1 pound) [[cookbook:tomato|tomatoes]], diced *1 [[Cookbook:Tablespoon|tablespoon]] sweet [[cookbook:paprika|paprika]] *225 [[Cookbook:Gram|grams]] (6 ounces) canned beans (e.g. [[cookbook:chickpea|chickpeas]], [[cookbook:Butter Bean|butter beans]], great northern beans, [[cookbook:Lima Bean|lima beans]]; optional), thoroughly rinsed and strained *720 milliliters (2½ [[Cookbook:Cup|cups]]) Valencian [[cookbook:rice|rice]] *1½ tablespoons food coloring for yellow rice (see notes) *340 [[Cookbook:Gram|grams]] (12 ounces) [[cookbook:squid|squid]] mantles, diced or cut into rings, [[cookbook:shrimp|shrimp]] *340 grams (12 ounces) [[cookbook:scallop|scallops]] *24 live [[cookbook:mussel|mussels]], cleaned with beards removed == Equipment == *38-centimeter (15-inch) ''paellera'' *7.6-liter (2-gallon) pot *Rice skimmer *Sharp chopping [[Cookbook:Knife|knife]] for meat and vegetables *Large serving spoon *[[Cookbook:Potato Masher|Potato masher]] *Clean, white towel large enough to cover the ''paellera'' *Wide heating source such as: **Stove or gas burner large enough to accommodate the size of the ''paellera'' **Charcoal grill **Low, forged steel tripod or cinder blocks/bricks to support the ''paellera'' over a wood or charcoal fire == Procedure == === Broth === #Fill a pan with about 1 inch of water. Bring to a slow [[Cookbook:Boiling|boil]] and add the mussels. Cover the pan and wait about 2 minutes. #Remove the open mussels. Continue checking for open mussels about once every minute. Throw out the ones that won’t open but save the water. #Twist off the half shells without meat and discard. Put the half shells with meat in the fridge until you're ready to put them on the paella. #Cut the onion and bell pepper into quarters and place them in a large pot with the rest of the broth ingredients including the water from cooking the mussels. #Boil it down until you've got about ½ gallon of broth. Occasionally press the ingredients against the bottom of the pot with the potato masher to squeeze out their flavors. #[[Cookbook:Straining|Strain]] the broth and set aside. Discard the boiled seafood and chicken wings. If you don't like the idea of throwing out food then eat it as a snack but don't include it in the paella. #Taste the broth. It should have a strong seafood flavor and moderate chicken flavor. === Paella === #Cut the red bell pepper into strips. #Pour a pool of oil into the center of the ''paellera''. The pool should be about 2 inches from the edge of the ''paellera'' on all sides. Heat over a high flame. #Cook the pepper strips just long enough to scorch them. Remove them and set aside. #Add ½ tablespoon salt to the chicken and [[cookbook:sautéing|sauté]] until golden brown. #Add the garlic and sauté until it’s brown but be careful not to burn. This step should only take about a minute to 90 seconds. #Add the tomatoes, paprika, onions and diced peppers. Sauté until all the vegetables are tender to make a ''[[cookbook:sofrito|sofrito]]''. #Add 960 milliliters (4 cups) of broth along with the food coloring and another ½ tablespoon salt. Mix well. #Bring the broth to a rolling boil then lower the heat a bit to allow the broth to [[Cookbook:simmering|simmer]] for about two minutes. #Taste the broth and invite your dinner guests to do so as well—this is a custom in Spain. The broth should have a very lightly salted flavor. #Add the rice and mix well. Once again, bring the broth to a rolling boil then reduce the heat to create a moderate simmer. Frequently mix the ingredients well to prevent burning. #Begin tasting the rice after it's been simmering for about 20 minutes and reduce the heat a bit. Make sure the rice doesn't get too soft. Check the rice again every 10 minutes and reduce the heat slightly after each taste. Your goal is to wind up with rice that has a slightly underdone center. The time it takes to reach this point can vary from 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on your cooking gear. #Add the seafood (except for the mussels) along with the beans and cover it all with rice. Allow the paella to simmer for 10 more minutes. Don't mix the ingredients during this final phase. Your paella is done once the rice is just slightly firm to the bite (''[[Cookbook:Al dente|al dente]]''), the paella is a little moist but not soupy, and there is a bit of toasted rice on the bottom of the ''paellera''. The toasted rice is considered a delicacy throughout the Spanish-speaking world. #Remove the ''paellaera'' from the heat and cover it with a clean, white towel. Then, allow it to sit for 5 minutes, which will give the rice some time to absorb more water. #Remove the towel, place the mussels around the edge of the ''paellera'' with the round edges facing down, and push them down into the rice. If your mussels have become very cold from sitting in the fridge then heat them in a microwave oven for no more than 30 seconds. #Arrange the pepper strips on top of the paella like spokes in a wheel. Your paella is now ready to serve. == Notes, tips, and variations == * This recipe calls for live mussels. Please read [[cookbook:Bivalve Preparation|these safety guidelines]] for buying, eating and cooking live bivalves (mussels and clams). * Never use stewed beans. * Throughout history, [[cookbook:saffron|saffron]] has been the natural ingredient used in Spain to color rice yellow. However, it's very expensive (a pound costs over US$1,500) because it's labor intensive to process and each saffron crocus yields a minuscule amount of saffron. Consequently, supermarkets sell only a few grams per container for three or four US dollars. The best solution to this problem is to use commercially manufactured food coloring containing both natural and artificial ingredients (but usually no saffron). The two most popular US brands are Bijol and Badia.

For really simple graphics, you can use the turtle graphics mode <code>import turtle</code> ; How do I make a game in Python? : The best method is probably to use PyGame at http://pygame.org/ ; How do I make an executable from a Python program? : Short answer: Python is an interepreted language so that is impossible. Long answer is that something similar to an executable can be created by taking the Python interpreter and the file and joining them together and distributing that.

Then the server rupert, like all good things that have a beginning came to an end, and Josh moved it to Wikibooks, but the first person writing stuck. If someone really wants to change it, I will not revert it, but I don't see much point.

IsoChronous isoc code is already in place in poseidon.library and '''scheduled''' transfers are queued to be later rerouted in the host driver code (needs to be written for each host protocol e.g. OCHI, UCHI, EHCI and [https://cdrdv2-public.intel.com/625472/625472_xHCI_Rev1_2b.pdf#:~:text=Page%203.%20Document%20Number:%20625472%2C%20Revision:%201.2b.%203.

There seems to be 2 types of isoc transfers, one is just the normal isoc transfer and the other is realtime implementation of isoc transfer. For isoc transfer there needs to be a scheduler that makes sure no isoc transfers are dropped (in or out) and that they happen at the right time. It all gets difficult as the device making use of the isoc transfer may be at any point on the device tree. One needs to calculate the USB bandwidth for the packet based periodic transfers that are initiated by the host which have fixed but guaranteed bandwidth. Host controllers guarantee this bandwidth by planning a schedule of transfers ahead of time to ensure there is enough time reserved on the bus. [https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/products/docs/io/universal-serial-bus/ehci-specification.html EHCI] [https://www.thegoodpenguin.co.uk/blog/understanding-why-usb-isochronous-bandwidth-errors-occur/ bus-bandwidth] vs payload-bandwidth and the algorithm of the EHCI scheduler. The bandwidth of the endpoint in terms of payload data (stuff we put in a packet) and the protocol overhead, signalling imposed bit stuffing, host delays etc. Poseidon controls the driver and device tree and it provides an API to communicate with the USB devices. Poseidon really doesn't care much about what sort of transfer pipe is opened or used, it only provides the means to do so and forwards the iorequests to the correct driver. Poseidon code is the higher level code for USB communication and drivers are of course the lower level one.

The device will be handled by Poseidon USB stack. Poseidon is the USB stack with Trident adding a GUI (graphical user interface) prefs. the context sensitive page would come up right on pressing the help key inside the relevant window. The manual is in this archive, just in case it isn't in SYS:Locale/Help *How to change joystick mode to analogue? By default a connected USB joystick emulates Amiga digital joystick. To change this behaviour so that the joystick is presented as analogue you need to use Trident preferences application (System:Prefs/Trident). Open Trident and go to Devices on the left hand side (mouse click once on it). Select your controller from the list to the right and then click on Settings button below. This will open a new window. On the "General" tab find the "Lowlevel Library Joypad Emulation" section near the bottom. Find ports which are set to "Merge with USB" or "Override with USB" and change them to "Analogue Hack". Please note that analogue joystick support is an extension of original Amiga functionality, thus an Amiga application must be explicitly written to use it. AROS SDL library uses this functionality, thus all SDL applications that use joystick, can use the analogue joystick feature. The HID class has several options how to handle the input data: * Don't touch: The movement and button data for is not modified by the hid class. This is the default for the ports 0, 2, and 3. * Overwrite with USB: This will kill the original data that might had come from the internal ports and overwrites it with the joypad data for this USB interface. Note well: If you have multiple joypads connected, take care which setting you have selected for each port, because only the last interface with this option will actually send the joypad data to the game. * Merge with USB: This option merges the input data of the lowlevel.library with the USB stream. This only works, if the connected device on the original Amiga ports is NOT a mouse (because then the streams are incompatible). Merging should be the preferred method, because it leaves the original joysticks working. * Disable: Turns off the port for the application. * Analogue Hack: Tells Poseidon to force reporting of analogue data at the port. Please note that this only works with programs that understand the analogue data, because it's an extension to the original lowlevel.library standard made by Commodore. If you want to incorporate this feature in your software, just contact me and I will send you the necessary information. * Rumble Port: As addition to the analogue data, the HID class supports applications and games that want to utilize a rumble pack or force feedback motors in the gamepads. This field selects to which lowlevel port the hid device responds, when attempting to use the rumble pack. Normally, this corresponds to the port that has been set in the actions for the joypad. *How to change joystick port assignment? The low level library supports up to four ports. Port 0 is usually used by the mouse, port 1 is the standard port for joysticks/joypads. By default a connected USB joystick is present in Port 1. To change its location to Port 0 you need to use Trident preferences. Open Trident and go to Devices window. Select your controller from the list and then click on Settings button. This will open a new window. On the "General" tab find the "Lowlevel Library Joypad Emulation" section. Port 1 should be set as either "Merge with USB" or "Override with USB". Change this setting to "Don't touch". Change Port 0 setting to "Merge with USB". Go to "Actions" tab. In the "Reports and collection" select first entry named "Joystick". in the "Usage items" select "X axis". Go to "Performed actions" area. On the left there will be a list of triggers. Each of them should have (port1) in their params. Click on the first trigger and using buttons to the right of the list change port1 into port 0. Repeat this for all triggers and for all items on "Usage items" list. *How to make joystick simulate keyboard keys? With Poseidon it is possible to make the joystick simulate the keyboard pressings. This might enable using joystick for playing games which only have keyboard support. This feature is configured in Trident preferences. Open Trident and go to Devices window. Select your controller from the list and then click on Settings button. This will open a new window. Go to "Actions" tab. On the right top window select X axis. On the left bottom list select an entry "Digital Joystick, Push left(port 1)". On the panel to the right change "Digital joystick" into "Raw Key". A list of keys will be displayed. Select key you wish to send. Repeat the same procedure for "Digital Joystick, Release left (port 1)" option but this time check "Send key up even instead of key down". Open shell and move your joystick to the left - your selected letter should appear in the shell. *Analogue in Trident Prefs * Open the Trident USB Prefs -> Devices -> Select your joypad -> Settings button -> Action TAB * See some "axis" listed under "Usage items" in the top right of the window. They are your analog stick(s) * Check [x] Track Incoming Events which is half way down the window on the left And you should see some axis activity in "Usage items" when you move the analog stick *Actions HID class item -> Settings -> HID Class Window -> Action Tab -> Action handling area Reports and collections -> Usage Items -> Performed actions Qualifier keys are *special*. You don't only need to create the actual keypress but also modify the qualifiers. Go to the keyboard panel and find the windows menu key by enabling key tracking and pressing the windows menu key. Then assign the right amiga key to it. Go to the actions panel and find the right amiga key (it's called "Keyboard right GUI"). Remember the actions stored there, best write them down in exact order. Then delete them. Find the windows menu item and add the missing qualifier action. Be sure the parameters are exactly the same and the order is right. Set them to Raw, then assign an up and down button for each character, etc. when you change the settings to RAW so you can assign keyboard strokes. it will always say, KEYDOWN or what ever on the left, it never provides and option for key release. The problem still remains though that if I try to assign the Directional Pad (Hat) to Arrow Keys, that things will get screwed up and you either can not move with the directional PAD (HAT), or movements are assigned to the Left Analog, and do not work as they should, it's as if the right and down arrow keys are ALWAYS On, regardless of the fact that I did indeed assign a Key release command to each input. check that by pressing analog directions and see the current values, and the thresholds configured in poseidon to bind them to left/right/up/down. misconfigured too much stuff in the HID settings, you can always go in poseidon->config list entry and delete the config item related to your device (or the HID class setting itself), back to basics. *Rumble in Trident Prefs Open Trident Prefs and click on the Devices option in the left hand window. Click with the mouse once on your gamepad choice on the right hand side and again on the Settings button below. In the new window, select the '''General''' TAB and half way down on the right there is an "Open Now" button in the section "HID output control window". Clicking on that button opens another window (HID Control) with sliders for the two rumble engines inside the controllers and you can test if they work. '''Sometimes clicking that button does nothing, other times it will open the window and say nothing is detected.''' The leftmost two sliders do nothing, the third one has a large rumble effect, and the fourth one has a small rumble effect. ===Graphic Drawing Tablet=== There is a standard in HID for tablets possibly mouse type. If the tablet is HID conforming in that sense, it should work. Aiptek does a fairly good job at this. The other competitor, Wacom, didn't pay too much attention to this and simply adapted their legacy serial protocol into HID in a very awkward way. Older Wacom tablets have worked with the special support in the HID class, but not the more recent ones. to use graphic tablets fully, applications need to be written that make use of the AmigaOS NewTablet events (which AROS has) * Entry level - A6 (6x4) work area * Medium A5 (6x8) A4 (10x7) size (recommended but only a few ie years 2000 to 2003 models supported) * Semi Pro A3 (12x9) * Pro Cintiq * 2005/6 Some support added for Wacom tablets * 2008 Wacom's patent on battery free pens expires {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="30%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="10%" |Product ID ! width="10%" |Revision ! width="50%" |Opinion |- | <!--Description-->Micrograf Tabby (late 1980s and early 1990s) | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{No|Serial RS232 based }} |- | <!--Description-->podscat pt 3030 graphics tablet | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{No|Serial RS232 based }} |- | <!--Description-->Summagraphics | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{No|Serial RS232 based }} |- | <!--Description-->Wacom IV compatible (Graphire, ArtPad, A3, A4, A5 and PenPartner CT-0405-P - Wacom intuos GD-0405-R) Waycom Digitiser II UD-0608-R | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{No|Serial RS232 based }} |- | <!--Description-->Wacom Artpad II (KT-0405-R) | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{No|Serial RS232 based }} |- | <!--Description-->AceCad boards | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{No|Serial RS232 based }} |- | <!--Description-->AipTek HyperPen 6000 | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{No|Serial RS232 based }} |- | <!--Description-->Calcomp | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{No|Serial RS232 based }} |- | <!--Description-->AipTek HyperPen 8000 - Aldi/Medion MD 9310 and Aldi/Tevion LT 9310 | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{No|Serial RS232 based }} |- | <!--Description-->Tablet PC penabled | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{No|Serial RS232 based like x61t X60t NC4200 NC4400 }} |- | <!--Description--> | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{No|Serial RS232 based }} |- style="background:lightgrey;{{text default color}}; text-align:center; font-weight:bold;" | Description | Vendor ID | Product ID | Revision | Opinion |- | <!--Description--> * Wacom PenPartner * PenPartner 2 * PenStation 2 | <!--Vendor ID-->0x056a | <!--Product ID-->0x0000 | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested }} |- | <!--Description-->Wacom Graphire - Wacom Tablet ET-0405-U UV1.1-1 (Slate Blue) ET-0405UL (lime) (orange) (red) (purple) | <!--Vendor ID-->0x056A | <!--Product ID-->0X0010 | <!--Revision-->0100 | <!--Opinion-->{{Yes|late 90s with A6 size - [Wacom Support] of X-axis 00000-10205 Y-AXIS 0000-7421 Tip Pressure 000-511 under Trident prefs.

Tablets report pressure (and tilt on expensive models) and are absolute pointing devices (put the pen at the top left and the mouse pointer will go to the top left of the screen). Graphic drawing area, what keys, report rate, resolution lpi lpmm, accuracy, pressure levels (may come from the app), origin position, Wacom tablets use electromagnetic resonance technology. Since the tablet provides power to the pen through resonant inductive coupling, no power is required for the pointing device. As a result, no batteries are inside the pen (or the accompanying puck), making them lighter and slimmer. Under the tablet's surface (or LCD in the case of the Cintiq) is a printed circuit board with a grid of multiple send/receive coils and a magnetic reflector attached behind the grid. In send mode, the tablet generates a close-coupled electromagnetic field (also known as a B-field) at a frequency of 531&nbsp;kHz. This close-coupled field stimulates oscillation in the pen's coil/capacitor (LC) circuit when brought into range of the B-field. Any excess resonant electromagnetic energy is reflected back to the tablet. In receive mode, the energy of the resonant circuit’s oscillations in the pen is detected by the tablet's grid. This information is analyzed by the computer to determine the pen's position, by interpolation and Fourier analysis of the signal intensity. In addition, the pen communicates information such as pen tip pressure, side-switch status, tip vs. eraser orientation and ID number (to differentiate between different pens, mice, etc.). For example, applying more or less pressure to the tip of the pen changes the value of the pen's timing circuit capacitor. This signal change can be communicated in an analog or digital method. An analog implementation modulates the phase angle of the resonant frequency, while a digital method is communicated to a modulator that distributes the information digitally. The tablet forwards this and other relevant tool information in packets, up to 200 times per second, to the computer. If you disable (delete all of them except for one that needs to be set to "no action", so that it will not be regenerated as default) the Extra Startup actions, the tablet should remain in relative mouse mode—you will not get pressure information in that mode though.

printing purposes. There has been an attempt at recent AirPrint support *Inkjet *Laser Start simple and then test every higher level... * can if you ping your printer (the IP addy is good)? * set up LPR/IPP to talk to that known good IP address. * see if you can copy a few words of plain ASCII text to the IPP/LPR device (do you have a connection)? * see if you can find a simple postscript file and then copy it to the IPP/LPR device. * see if you can set up to print directly to the IPP/LPR device (set "Output file" to PRT: or LPR:). * see if you can set up a PS printer config to the IPP/LPR device. * go back and try the tests with the other driver (LPR or IPP). See [http://www.irseesoft.de/tp_drive7.htm here] for compatibility with TP7 (TurboPrint 7) Last update 2004. Not tested under emulation. Janus-UAE, Emumiga, Amiberry etc usbparallel.device untested with USB->Centronics - The printer.class is rather 'clever'. It remembers to which unit the printers were connected (until you reboot). So if you first plug in Printer1, it gets unit 0, and Printer2 gets unit 1. If you now remove both printers and replug Printer2, it still will get unit 1 and not 0. This is used not to confuse the programs using the different units (moreover, if some program uses the usbparallel.device unit of an USB printer, and the printer is unplugged, the device unit cannot be freed immediately as the application still keeps it open). {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="30%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="10%" |Product ID ! width="10%" |Revision ! width="50%" |Opinion |- | Beige cream D shape centronics end (Prolific chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Belkin F5U002v1 centronics end (chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Belkin F5U002VEA v2 centronics end (Prolific PL2305L chipset) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | DYNAMODE USB-C-PP-1284 USB to 36pin (Prolific 2305 chipset) | 0x067b | 0x2305 | 0x02 | {{N/A|untested but similar to BAFO below}} |- | IOGear GUC1284B | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | My-Link (raised ellipse on centronics plastic end) (unknown chipset) | | | | {{N/A|untested but more expensive }} |- | NEWLink (Prolific chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Targus PA096E centronics end (chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | TRENDnet ware TU-P1284 | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | True PnP (Prolific chipset 2305) cheap 36pin Centronics (series of ridges along both short sides) | 0x067b | 0x2305 | 2.00 | {{N/A|untested on BAFO BF-1284 but reports of poor quality and lack of support on other OSs }} |- style="background:lightgrey;{{text default color}}; text-align:center; font-weight:bold;" | Description | Vendor ID | Product ID | Revision | Opinion |- | Transparent See Through Blue | | | | {{N/A|untested but possible poor quality build }} |- | Dynamode USB-PARALLEL 25pin female (prolific) | 0x067b | 0x2305 | 0x02 | {{N/A|untested}} |- | FDL USB to 25pin | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | PlusKom USB to 25pin female connector for printer (IEEE 1284) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | QinHeng Electronics (CH340S chipset) | 0x1a86 | 0x7584 | | {{N/A|untested curvy sides - flat top }} |- | StarTech | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Syba SD-USB-DB25 | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- |} Postscript interpreters (eg ghostscript) have been developed as a cheaper option which sit in between postscript data streams and non postscript printers. Ghostscript has internal printer drivers gs -h and with something like gs -sDEVICE=stcolor -r300 -sOutputFile=RAM:tempfile gs813:examples/tiger.ps copytopar ram:tempfile It checks if in RAM: exists a outputfile (Cinnamon can export to PS postscript) then it sends this via copytopar to the printer. There was only support for parport (parallel) but Terminillis added support for USB and ethernet. A big issue with using ghostscript for drivers is that data has to originate as postscript (.PS) file. gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=RAM:tempfile RAM:file.pdf the ljet4 output device generates PCL also the pxlmono driver, which generates more generic PXL (PCL 6) gs -q -sstdout=%stderr -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=- -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER testpage-a4.ps > test.pdf gs -q -sstdout=%stderr -sDEVICE=pxlmono -sOutputFile=- -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER test.pdf > test.pxl Printers supported by ghostscript...Explanation [http://freebooks.by.ru/view/RedHatLinux6Unleashed/rhl6u151.htm here] or [http://www.gnu.org/software/ghostscript/devices.html here] and [http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/printer.htm here] <pre> bit cljet5 ljet4d pjxl300 pxlcolor bitcmyk cljet5c ljetplus pkm pxlmono bitrgb deskjet nullpage pkmraw stp bj10e djet500 pbm pksm tiff12nc bj200 epswrite pbmraw pksmraw tiff24nc bjc600 faxg3 pcx16 png16 tiffcrle bjc800 faxg32d pcx24b png16m tiffg3 bmp16 faxg4 pcx256 png256 tiffg32d bmp16m ijs pcxcmyk pnggray tiffg4 bmp256 jpeg pcxgray pngmono tifflzw bmp32b jpeggray pcxmono pnm tiffpack bmpgray laserjet pdfwrite pnmraw uniprint bmpmono lj5gray pgm ppm x11 bmpsep1 lj5mono pgmraw ppmraw x11alpha bmpsep8 ljet2p pgnm psgray x11cmyk cdeskjet ljet3 pgnmraw psmono x11gray2 cdj550 ljet3d pj psrgb x11gray4 cdjcolor ljet4 pjxl pswrite x11mono cdjmono </pre> ==rawwrap.class - some old flatbed scanners supported== Scandal is the MUI frontend to [http://www.ppa.pl/bugtracker/ Betascan Bugtracker] and [http://aminet.net/search?query=betascan Search for Betascan scanner drivers] derived from [http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html sane backends] [http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html#S-EPSON2 Epson2] {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="30%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="10%" |Product ID ! width="10%" |Revision ! width="50%" |Opinion |- | Expression 1600 1640XL 1680 10000XL | 0x04b8 | 0x0107 | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{unk| }} |- | Prefection 1200U, 1200 Photo, | 0x04b8 | 0x0104 | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{unk| }} |- | Perfection 1240U | 0x04b8 | 0x010b | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{[https://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=45760&forum=25 works]|Needs 24V 0.8A psu but in Trident, click on "Classes", then on "rawwrap.class", then on "Configure".

Easy to do at the rate of a 1990's modem speed these days. USB over midi.. turns midi into a polled protocol.. So the USB host (typically the computer) has to ask "do you have anything for me" before the remote will send. If the USB host gets busy doing other things or there is a lot of things on the USB bus to get polled, you can get delays. For its age midi is still a great protocol for music * [https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/midi10.pdf USBIF's "USB Device Class Definition for MIDI Devices" document, version 1.0 from Nov 1, 1999] * [https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/USB%20MIDI%20v2_0.pdf MIDI v2.0 from 2020 which AROS still needs, adds support for MIDI 2.0, MIDI-CI, and Universal MIDI Packet] Nearly all synthesizers now use the 16 MIDI channels available on a MIDI bus in one instrument alone, requiring multiple MIDI busses in a typical setup with more than one MIDI instrument. In addition, by handling multiple "virtual" cables, USB offers a solution to go beyond MIDI's 16-channel limit. MIDI data is transferred over USB using 32-bit USB-MIDI Event Packets. These packets provide an efficient method to transfer multiple MIDI streams with fixed length messages. The 32-bit USB-MIDI Event Packet allows multiple "virtual MIDI cables" routed over the same USB endpoint. This approach minimizes the number of required endpoints. It also makes parsing MIDI events easier by packetizing the separate bytes of a MIDI event into one parsed USB-MIDI event. {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="25%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="5%" |Product ID ! width="5%" |Revision ! width="15%" |CAMD ! width="30%" |Opinion |- | <!--Description-->Computer | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{Yes|which acts as USB midi host to get all usb devices talking together}} |- | <!--Description-->Hobbytronics usb host standalone | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description-->bomebox | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description-->[https://neuma.studio/rpi-as-midi-host/ raspberry pi] with several midi interface(s) and linux scripting | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{unk| }} |- | <!--Description-->Kenton MIDI USB Host mk3 | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description--> | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description--> | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |} {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="25%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="5%" |Product ID ! width="5%" |Revision ! width="15%" |CAMD ! width="30%" |Opinion |- | <!--Description-->Acorn Instruments Masterkey 49 device | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD-->{{unk| }} | <!--Opinion-->2018 untested usb powered 5V regulated -

The inventors, Kakehashi and Smith finally received a Technical Grammy Award in 2013 for their work. The MIDI files that contained just the note data, velocity and timing meant you could transfer an entire studio session from one place to another on one floppy disk and it could control all the synths and drum samplers. Pass-thru meant that one computer could run an entire bands worth of instruments. It's bulletproof too. MIDI never goes wrong, it's always a bug in software that causes any issue - you can absolutely rely on it to go gigging with, take your synths, controllers and computers and not crash an entire gig at your 100,000 person venue. The MIDI hardware specification is very simple (voltage, polarity, screening, protection and a fast enough opto-isolator), it assumes that the data it sends and receives between MIDI devices is to the MIDI data standard and just passes it on. The microprocessor in the hardware does all the work. The minimum for a computer/MIDI interface is that it meets the MIDI hardware specification. It is attached to the computer bus and handles the electrical conversions required. To meet the MIDI hardware specification, to be class compliant as a USB device all it has to do is report itself properly when plugged in. The other half of the equation is the MIDI data standard, and for a computer MIDI interface the main issue is the speed of data transmission. The bus speed of the computer is faster than the speed of the MIDI standard so it can generate and send MIDI data faster than a MIDI device can receive it. The MIDI standards have nothing to say on that bottleneck at all. MIDI was designed to be very simple and very open, it just defines a standard for the messages and leaves it up to manufacturers to implement them in the way they want. That's what makes it so powerful a tool, and also what makes it so confusing and frustrating at times. For midi, the hardware/software combination at various connection points handles the translation to/from midi (or other protocols). Drivers would be needed for midi, including clock and SysEx signal (actually claiming to handle ALL midi quirks transparently All the important MIDI data types can be sent (CC, NRPN, RPN, MMC, Note On/Off, program change) There is no official way to solve the data bottleneck. Early software sequencers and librarians tried to solve it by having an option to buffer SYSEX data in software and transmit it at the MIDI data rate. The downside is that hogs the bus and can hit computer performance. Interface manufacturers would add a hardware buffer which would take all the MIDI data from the PC bus and feed it into the MIDI at the slower data rate, but that added cost and created timing issues. Things have moved on since then, but the principles remain the same. You can buffer in the hardware or in software, whether that is in the application or the interface driver. SYSEX will work perfectly well with that budget cable if your software handles the buffering. And while the cables with hardware buffers make SYSEX easier, they still have potential problems because of the limitations of the MIDI data rate. Your MIDI clock doesn't like being interrupted with a big program dump The serial / parallel ports were a direct connection, so faster. Now, everything in the computer is virtual and the only thing connected to the hardware is the kernel, hence everything is by default bottlenecked and jittery, regardless of which connection. So by the time the interface gets the information it's already too late. Ethernet network cable to transport MIDI over large distances, connect 2 MIDI In and 2 MIDI Out ports to patch, remap, filter and merge MIDI flows on a fine channel basis for tight MIDI throughput, latency and jitter Possibilities for DAWs of the future including a kind of sync reference for timing reference which an interface could sync to, hence all the timings then would be locked between the grid on the DAW screen and the MIDI info. Preemptible, low latency and accuracy are essential for good communication. One of the first things you need to do, is make sure your MIDI software sets the interface to the same MIDI channel as your keyboard (usually 1) Do you want to send just your master keyboard to other synths or to be able to use any keyboard with any synth? 1st option is relatively simple. Just need to send midi from your master keyboard into a midi splitter that redistributes the signal onto your synths. Each synth will be set up to receive midi on a specific channel so the only challenge is to find a way to select to which channel you are sending midi. Some master keyboards can do that although not many that have a dedicated knob or switch on the panel and most require a bit of menu diving. Could use a midi box that offers channel selection but usually this is not very workflow friendly. The software route would require using the mouse. 2nd option is a bit more complex but superior workflow by sending midi messages into a merge box, from there into a hardware sequencer that allows to select midi channel, then on to a midi interface that distributes the signal to the synths. Master keyboard MIDI-in to computer. External hardware sampler MIDI-out from computer. Audio-out from sampler to audio-in on computer/device. Blue Ribbon Soundworks Bars & Pipes Professional (1993/4) GM (1984), GS (1987), XG level 1-3 (1994-1997), GM level 2 (1999) GM GM1 imposes several requirements beyond the MIDI 1.0 specification. While MIDI 1.0 by itself provides a communication protocol which ensures that different instruments can interoperate at a fundamental level e.g sound modules. GM goes further in two ways. First, GM requires that all compliant MIDI instruments meet a certain minimal set of features, such as being able to play at least 24 notes simultaneously (polyphony). Second, GM attaches specific interpretations to many parameters and control messages which were left unspecified in the MIDI 1.0 specification. A minimum of 128 MIDI Program Numbers (conforming to the GM 1 Instrument Patch Map) and 47 percussion sounds (conforming to the GM 1 Percussion Key Map). Support for controller number 1, 7, 10, 11, 64, 100, 101, 121 and 123; support for channel pressure and pitch bend controllers. General MIDI Level 2 or GM2 is a specification for synthesizers which defines several requirements beyond the MIDI standard and is based on General MIDI (GM) and Roland GS extensions. It was adopted in 1999 by the MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA). * Number of Notes: 32 simultaneous notes * MIDI Channels: 16 * Simultaneous Melodic Instruments – up to 16 (all Channels) * Simultaneous Percussion Kits – up to 2 (Channel 10/11) Program and bank change events General MIDI 2 compatible synthesizers access all of the 256 instruments by setting cc#0 (Bank Select MSB) to 121 and using cc#32 (Bank Select LSB) to select the variation bank before a Program Change. Variation bank 0 contains the full GM (General MIDI 1) sound set. Variations using other bank numbers are new to General MIDI 2, and correspond to variation sounds introduced in Roland GS.

PsdErrorlog/PsdDevlister? The AHI driver generated only supports mono/stereo at any bit rates between 8 and 32 bit per sample, but not multichannel modes and only rates up to 65KHz (because AHI uses a 16-bit word for frequencies). If the soundcard does not offer such a PCM 8-32 bit mode at frequencies lower than 65 KHz, there's nothing much that can be done about it on the computer side other than revising and expanding the AHI standard. Most cheap USB soundcards do though. AHI does not support six channel playback. It only supports mono, stereo and multichannel (8 channels). Due to the multichannel mode not being used by any application so far, the usbaudio.class does not support multichannel playback, especially not "upchannelling" stereo to six or more channels. If this USB device does not support a two channel mode, you can't use it under AHI.

Well, those companies are using the same driver framework because all of those interfaces use the same microprocessor/firmware architecture to communicate with the USB bus. Just like almost all FireWire audio interfaces use the same TC Dice or BridgeCo chipsets. Usually it does not make sense for companies to develop their own USB1.1/USB2/FW framework for a product they are going to sell for <$500. However, that isn't the end of the story. The companies who develop audio interfaces implement different features into their devices and must update the driver and firmware to accommodate those features. That is where things can go wrong. Sometimes there is miss-communication about how things are coded, sometimes the developer who started a project leaves without transferring his knowledge to his successor, etc. You have to keep in mind that there are no "big" computer audio companies. Even the companies that seem big in the scale of the market, probably have fewer employees than you'd think. A very well made interface that is designed from scratch from the ground up would be a very expensive device, regardless of whether it's USB, FW, PCIe or whatever. Round-trip latency is the sum of the following: <pre> ASIO input buffer ASIO output buffer A/D D/A converter latency The driver's hidden safety buffer </pre> At a 64-sample ASIO buffer size/44.1k, Tascam units yield ~18ms total round-trip latency. Typical USB audio interfaces use a large hidden safety buffer. This helps ensure glitch-free playback... even under less than ideal circumstances. But... this comes at the expense of much higher round-trip latency. Short of doubling the sample-rate, there's no means of mitigating the higher round-trip latency. If you have no plans of ever monitoring in realtime thru software based EFX/processing (ie: playing/monitoring DI bass thru an AmpSim plugin as you're playing), then this may not matter to you. If you want the ability this play/monitor in realtime thru software based EFX/processing, make sure to get an audio interface that yields low round-trip latency. As a point of reference the best PCI/e audio interfaces yield about 5ms total round-trip latency at a 64-sample ASIO buffer size/44.1k The best Firewire and USB units yield 5.5-5.6ms total round-trip latency at those same settings. Typical USB and Firewire units (that use a large hidden safety buffer) yield 12-18ms total round-trip latency at those same settings. Anything above ~6ms starts to feel sluggish. Anything above ~10ms feels like playing thru molasses.

IsoChronous isoc code is already in place in poseidon.library and '''scheduled''' transfers are queued to be later rerouted in the host driver code (needs to be written for each host protocol e.g. OCHI, UCHI, EHCI and [https://cdrdv2-public.intel.com/625472/625472_xHCI_Rev1_2b.pdf#:~:text=Page%203.%20Document%20Number:%20625472%2C%20Revision:%201.2b.%203.

There seems to be 2 types of isoc transfers, one is just the normal isoc transfer and the other is realtime implementation of isoc transfer. For isoc transfer there needs to be a scheduler that makes sure no isoc transfers are dropped (in or out) and that they happen at the right time. It all gets difficult as the device making use of the isoc transfer may be at any point on the device tree. One needs to calculate the USB bandwidth for the packet based periodic transfers that are initiated by the host which have fixed but guaranteed bandwidth. Host controllers guarantee this bandwidth by planning a schedule of transfers ahead of time to ensure there is enough time reserved on the bus. [https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/products/docs/io/universal-serial-bus/ehci-specification.html EHCI] [https://www.thegoodpenguin.co.uk/blog/understanding-why-usb-isochronous-bandwidth-errors-occur/ bus-bandwidth] vs payload-bandwidth and the algorithm of the EHCI scheduler. The bandwidth of the endpoint in terms of payload data (stuff we put in a packet) and the protocol overhead, signalling imposed bit stuffing, host delays etc. Poseidon controls the driver and device tree and it provides an API to communicate with the USB devices. Poseidon really doesn't care much about what sort of transfer pipe is opened or used, it only provides the means to do so and forwards the iorequests to the correct driver. Poseidon code is the higher level code for USB communication and drivers are of course the lower level one.

The device will be handled by Poseidon USB stack. Poseidon is the USB stack with Trident adding a GUI (graphical user interface) prefs. the context sensitive page would come up right on pressing the help key inside the relevant window. The manual is in this archive, just in case it isn't in SYS:Locale/Help *How to change joystick mode to analogue? By default a connected USB joystick emulates Amiga digital joystick. To change this behaviour so that the joystick is presented as analogue you need to use Trident preferences application (System:Prefs/Trident). Open Trident and go to Devices on the left hand side (mouse click once on it). Select your controller from the list to the right and then click on Settings button below. This will open a new window. On the "General" tab find the "Lowlevel Library Joypad Emulation" section near the bottom. Find ports which are set to "Merge with USB" or "Override with USB" and change them to "Analogue Hack". Please note that analogue joystick support is an extension of original Amiga functionality, thus an Amiga application must be explicitly written to use it. AROS SDL library uses this functionality, thus all SDL applications that use joystick, can use the analogue joystick feature. The HID class has several options how to handle the input data: * Don't touch: The movement and button data for is not modified by the hid class. This is the default for the ports 0, 2, and 3. * Overwrite with USB: This will kill the original data that might had come from the internal ports and overwrites it with the joypad data for this USB interface. Note well: If you have multiple joypads connected, take care which setting you have selected for each port, because only the last interface with this option will actually send the joypad data to the game. * Merge with USB: This option merges the input data of the lowlevel.library with the USB stream. This only works, if the connected device on the original Amiga ports is NOT a mouse (because then the streams are incompatible). Merging should be the preferred method, because it leaves the original joysticks working. * Disable: Turns off the port for the application. * Analogue Hack: Tells Poseidon to force reporting of analogue data at the port. Please note that this only works with programs that understand the analogue data, because it's an extension to the original lowlevel.library standard made by Commodore. If you want to incorporate this feature in your software, just contact me and I will send you the necessary information. * Rumble Port: As addition to the analogue data, the HID class supports applications and games that want to utilize a rumble pack or force feedback motors in the gamepads. This field selects to which lowlevel port the hid device responds, when attempting to use the rumble pack. Normally, this corresponds to the port that has been set in the actions for the joypad. *How to change joystick port assignment? The low level library supports up to four ports. Port 0 is usually used by the mouse, port 1 is the standard port for joysticks/joypads. By default a connected USB joystick is present in Port 1. To change its location to Port 0 you need to use Trident preferences. Open Trident and go to Devices window. Select your controller from the list and then click on Settings button. This will open a new window. On the "General" tab find the "Lowlevel Library Joypad Emulation" section. Port 1 should be set as either "Merge with USB" or "Override with USB". Change this setting to "Don't touch". Change Port 0 setting to "Merge with USB". Go to "Actions" tab. In the "Reports and collection" select first entry named "Joystick". in the "Usage items" select "X axis". Go to "Performed actions" area. On the left there will be a list of triggers. Each of them should have (port1) in their params. Click on the first trigger and using buttons to the right of the list change port1 into port 0. Repeat this for all triggers and for all items on "Usage items" list. *How to make joystick simulate keyboard keys? With Poseidon it is possible to make the joystick simulate the keyboard pressings. This might enable using joystick for playing games which only have keyboard support. This feature is configured in Trident preferences. Open Trident and go to Devices window. Select your controller from the list and then click on Settings button. This will open a new window. Go to "Actions" tab. On the right top window select X axis. On the left bottom list select an entry "Digital Joystick, Push left(port 1)". On the panel to the right change "Digital joystick" into "Raw Key". A list of keys will be displayed. Select key you wish to send. Repeat the same procedure for "Digital Joystick, Release left (port 1)" option but this time check "Send key up even instead of key down". Open shell and move your joystick to the left - your selected letter should appear in the shell. *Analogue in Trident Prefs * Open the Trident USB Prefs -> Devices -> Select your joypad -> Settings button -> Action TAB * See some "axis" listed under "Usage items" in the top right of the window. They are your analog stick(s) * Check [x] Track Incoming Events which is half way down the window on the left And you should see some axis activity in "Usage items" when you move the analog stick *Actions HID class item -> Settings -> HID Class Window -> Action Tab -> Action handling area Reports and collections -> Usage Items -> Performed actions Qualifier keys are *special*. You don't only need to create the actual keypress but also modify the qualifiers. Go to the keyboard panel and find the windows menu key by enabling key tracking and pressing the windows menu key. Then assign the right amiga key to it. Go to the actions panel and find the right amiga key (it's called "Keyboard right GUI"). Remember the actions stored there, best write them down in exact order. Then delete them. Find the windows menu item and add the missing qualifier action. Be sure the parameters are exactly the same and the order is right. Set them to Raw, then assign an up and down button for each character, etc. when you change the settings to RAW so you can assign keyboard strokes. it will always say, KEYDOWN or what ever on the left, it never provides and option for key release. The problem still remains though that if I try to assign the Directional Pad (Hat) to Arrow Keys, that things will get screwed up and you either can not move with the directional PAD (HAT), or movements are assigned to the Left Analog, and do not work as they should, it's as if the right and down arrow keys are ALWAYS On, regardless of the fact that I did indeed assign a Key release command to each input. check that by pressing analog directions and see the current values, and the thresholds configured in poseidon to bind them to left/right/up/down. misconfigured too much stuff in the HID settings, you can always go in poseidon->config list entry and delete the config item related to your device (or the HID class setting itself), back to basics. *Rumble in Trident Prefs Open Trident Prefs and click on the Devices option in the left hand window. Click with the mouse once on your gamepad choice on the right hand side and again on the Settings button below. In the new window, select the '''General''' TAB and half way down on the right there is an "Open Now" button in the section "HID output control window". Clicking on that button opens another window (HID Control) with sliders for the two rumble engines inside the controllers and you can test if they work. '''Sometimes clicking that button does nothing, other times it will open the window and say nothing is detected.''' The leftmost two sliders do nothing, the third one has a large rumble effect, and the fourth one has a small rumble effect. ===Graphic Drawing Tablet=== There is a standard in HID for tablets possibly mouse type. If the tablet is HID conforming in that sense, it should work. Aiptek does a fairly good job at this. The other competitor, Wacom, didn't pay too much attention to this and simply adapted their legacy serial protocol into HID in a very awkward way.

Tablets report pressure (and tilt on expensive models) and are absolute pointing devices (put the pen at the top left and the mouse pointer will go to the top left of the screen). Graphic drawing area, what keys, report rate, resolution lpi lpmm, accuracy, pressure levels (may come from the app), origin position, Wacom tablets use electromagnetic resonance technology. Since the tablet provides power to the pen through resonant inductive coupling, no power is required for the pointing device. As a result, no batteries are inside the pen (or the accompanying puck), making them lighter and slimmer. Under the tablet's surface (or LCD in the case of the Cintiq) is a printed circuit board with a grid of multiple send/receive coils and a magnetic reflector attached behind the grid. In send mode, the tablet generates a close-coupled electromagnetic field (also known as a B-field) at a frequency of 531&nbsp;kHz. This close-coupled field stimulates oscillation in the pen's coil/capacitor (LC) circuit when brought into range of the B-field. Any excess resonant electromagnetic energy is reflected back to the tablet. In receive mode, the energy of the resonant circuit’s oscillations in the pen is detected by the tablet's grid. This information is analyzed by the computer to determine the pen's position, by interpolation and Fourier analysis of the signal intensity. In addition, the pen communicates information such as pen tip pressure, side-switch status, tip vs. eraser orientation and ID number (to differentiate between different pens, mice, etc.). For example, applying more or less pressure to the tip of the pen changes the value of the pen's timing circuit capacitor. This signal change can be communicated in an analog or digital method. An analog implementation modulates the phase angle of the resonant frequency, while a digital method is communicated to a modulator that distributes the information digitally. The tablet forwards this and other relevant tool information in packets, up to 200 times per second, to the computer. If you disable (delete all of them except for one that needs to be set to "no action", so that it will not be regenerated as default) the Extra Startup actions, the tablet should remain in relative mouse mode—you will not get pressure information in that mode though.

There has been an attempt at recent AirPrint support *Inkjet *Laser Start simple and then test every higher level... * can if you ping your printer (the IP addy is good)? * set up LPR/IPP to talk to that known good IP address. * see if you can copy a few words of plain ASCII text to the IPP/LPR device (do you have a connection)? * see if you can find a simple postscript file and then copy it to the IPP/LPR device. * see if you can set up to print directly to the IPP/LPR device (set "Output file" to PRT: or LPR:). * see if you can set up a PS printer config to the IPP/LPR device. * go back and try the tests with the other driver (LPR or IPP). See [http://www.irseesoft.de/tp_drive7.htm here] for compatibility with TP7 (TurboPrint 7) Last update 2004. Not tested under emulation. Janus-UAE, Emumiga, Amiberry etc usbparallel.device untested with USB->Centronics - The printer.class is rather 'clever'. It remembers to which unit the printers were connected (until you reboot). So if you first plug in Printer1, it gets unit 0, and Printer2 gets unit 1. If you now remove both printers and replug Printer2, it still will get unit 1 and not 0. This is used not to confuse the programs using the different units (moreover, if some program uses the usbparallel.device unit of an USB printer, and the printer is unplugged, the device unit cannot be freed immediately as the application still keeps it open). {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="30%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="10%" |Product ID ! width="10%" |Revision ! width="50%" |Opinion |- | Beige cream D shape centronics end (Prolific chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Belkin F5U002v1 centronics end (chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Belkin F5U002VEA v2 centronics end (Prolific PL2305L chipset) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | DYNAMODE USB-C-PP-1284 USB to 36pin (Prolific 2305 chipset) | 0x067b | 0x2305 | 0x02 | {{N/A|untested but similar to BAFO below}} |- | IOGear GUC1284B | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | My-Link (raised ellipse on centronics plastic end) (unknown chipset) | | | | {{N/A|untested but more expensive }} |- | NEWLink (Prolific chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Targus PA096E centronics end (chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | TRENDnet ware TU-P1284 | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | True PnP (Prolific chipset 2305) cheap 36pin Centronics (series of ridges along both short sides) | 0x067b | 0x2305 | 2.00 | {{N/A|untested on BAFO BF-1284 but reports of poor quality and lack of support on other OSs }} |- style="background:lightgrey;{{text default color}}; text-align:center; font-weight:bold;" | Description | Vendor ID | Product ID | Revision | Opinion |- | Transparent See Through Blue | | | | {{N/A|untested but possible poor quality build }} |- | Dynamode USB-PARALLEL 25pin female (prolific) | 0x067b | 0x2305 | 0x02 | {{N/A|untested}} |- | FDL USB to 25pin | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | PlusKom USB to 25pin female connector for printer (IEEE 1284) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | QinHeng Electronics (CH340S chipset) | 0x1a86 | 0x7584 | | {{N/A|untested curvy sides - flat top }} |- | StarTech | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Syba SD-USB-DB25 | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- |} Postscript interpreters (eg ghostscript) have been developed as a cheaper option which sit in between postscript data streams and non postscript printers. Ghostscript has internal printer drivers gs -h and with something like gs -sDEVICE=stcolor -r300 -sOutputFile=RAM:tempfile gs813:examples/tiger.ps copytopar ram:tempfile It checks if in RAM: exists a outputfile (Cinnamon can export to PS postscript) then it sends this via copytopar to the printer. There was only support for parport (parallel) but Terminillis added support for USB and ethernet. A big issue with using ghostscript for drivers is that data has to originate as postscript (.PS) file. gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=RAM:tempfile RAM:file.pdf the ljet4 output device generates PCL also the pxlmono driver, which generates more generic PXL (PCL 6) gs -q -sstdout=%stderr -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=- -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER testpage-a4.ps > test.pdf gs -q -sstdout=%stderr -sDEVICE=pxlmono -sOutputFile=- -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER test.pdf > test.pxl Printers supported by ghostscript...Explanation [http://freebooks.by.ru/view/RedHatLinux6Unleashed/rhl6u151.htm here] or [http://www.gnu.org/software/ghostscript/devices.html here] and [http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/printer.htm here] <pre> bit cljet5 ljet4d pjxl300 pxlcolor bitcmyk cljet5c ljetplus pkm pxlmono bitrgb deskjet nullpage pkmraw stp bj10e djet500 pbm pksm tiff12nc bj200 epswrite pbmraw pksmraw tiff24nc bjc600 faxg3 pcx16 png16 tiffcrle bjc800 faxg32d pcx24b png16m tiffg3 bmp16 faxg4 pcx256 png256 tiffg32d bmp16m ijs pcxcmyk pnggray tiffg4 bmp256 jpeg pcxgray pngmono tifflzw bmp32b jpeggray pcxmono pnm tiffpack bmpgray laserjet pdfwrite pnmraw uniprint bmpmono lj5gray pgm ppm x11 bmpsep1 lj5mono pgmraw ppmraw x11alpha bmpsep8 ljet2p pgnm psgray x11cmyk cdeskjet ljet3 pgnmraw psmono x11gray2 cdj550 ljet3d pj psrgb x11gray4 cdjcolor ljet4 pjxl pswrite x11mono cdjmono </pre> ==rawwrap.class - some old flatbed scanners supported== Scandal is the MUI frontend to [http://www.ppa.pl/bugtracker/ Betascan Bugtracker] and [http://aminet.net/search?query=betascan Search for Betascan scanner drivers] derived from [http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html sane backends] [http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html#S-EPSON2 Epson2] {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="30%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="10%" |Product ID ! width="10%" |Revision ! width="50%" |Opinion |- | Expression 1600 1640XL 1680 10000XL | 0x04b8 | 0x0107 | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{unk| }} |- | Prefection 1200U, 1200 Photo, | 0x04b8 | 0x0104 | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{unk| }} |- | Perfection 1240U | 0x04b8 | 0x010b | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{[https://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=45760&forum=25 works]|Needs 24V 0.8A psu but in Trident, click on "Classes", then on "rawwrap.class", then on "Configure".

Easy to do at the rate of a 1990's modem speed these days. USB over midi.. turns midi into a polled protocol.. So the USB host (typically the computer) has to ask "do you have anything for me" before the remote will send. If the USB host gets busy doing other things or there is a lot of things on the USB bus to get polled, you can get delays. For its age midi is still a great protocol for music * [https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/midi10.pdf USBIF's "USB Device Class Definition for MIDI Devices" document, version 1.0 from Nov 1, 1999] * [https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/USB%20MIDI%20v2_0.pdf MIDI v2.0 from 2020 which AROS still needs, adds support for MIDI 2.0, MIDI-CI, and Universal MIDI Packet] Nearly all synthesizers now use the 16 MIDI channels available on a MIDI bus in one instrument alone, requiring multiple MIDI busses in a typical setup with more than one MIDI instrument. In addition, by handling multiple "virtual" cables, USB offers a solution to go beyond MIDI's 16-channel limit. MIDI data is transferred over USB using 32-bit USB-MIDI Event Packets. These packets provide an efficient method to transfer multiple MIDI streams with fixed length messages. The 32-bit USB-MIDI Event Packet allows multiple "virtual MIDI cables" routed over the same USB endpoint. This approach minimizes the number of required endpoints. It also makes parsing MIDI events easier by packetizing the separate bytes of a MIDI event into one parsed USB-MIDI event. {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="25%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="5%" |Product ID ! width="5%" |Revision ! width="15%" |CAMD ! width="30%" |Opinion |- | <!--Description-->Computer | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{Yes|which acts as USB midi host to get all usb devices talking together}} |- | <!--Description-->Hobbytronics usb host standalone | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description-->bomebox | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description-->[https://neuma.studio/rpi-as-midi-host/ raspberry pi] with several midi interface(s) and linux scripting | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{unk| }} |- | <!--Description-->Kenton MIDI USB Host mk3 | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description--> | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description--> | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |} {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="25%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="5%" |Product ID ! width="5%" |Revision ! width="15%" |CAMD ! width="30%" |Opinion |- | <!--Description-->Acorn Instruments Masterkey 49 device | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD-->{{unk| }} | <!--Opinion-->2018 untested usb powered 5V regulated -

The inventors, Kakehashi and Smith finally received a Technical Grammy Award in 2013 for their work. The MIDI files that contained just the note data, velocity and timing meant you could transfer an entire studio session from one place to another on one floppy disk and it could control all the synths and drum samplers. Pass-thru meant that one computer could run an entire bands worth of instruments. It's bulletproof too. MIDI never goes wrong, it's always a bug in software that causes any issue - you can absolutely rely on it to go gigging with, take your synths, controllers and computers and not crash an entire gig at your 100,000 person venue. The MIDI hardware specification is very simple (voltage, polarity, screening, protection and a fast enough opto-isolator), it assumes that the data it sends and receives between MIDI devices is to the MIDI data standard and just passes it on. The microprocessor in the hardware does all the work. The minimum for a computer/MIDI interface is that it meets the MIDI hardware specification. It is attached to the computer bus and handles the electrical conversions required. To meet the MIDI hardware specification, to be class compliant as a USB device all it has to do is report itself properly when plugged in. The other half of the equation is the MIDI data standard, and for a computer MIDI interface the main issue is the speed of data transmission. The bus speed of the computer is faster than the speed of the MIDI standard so it can generate and send MIDI data faster than a MIDI device can receive it. The MIDI standards have nothing to say on that bottleneck at all. MIDI was designed to be very simple and very open, it just defines a standard for the messages and leaves it up to manufacturers to implement them in the way they want. That's what makes it so powerful a tool, and also what makes it so confusing and frustrating at times. For midi, the hardware/software combination at various connection points handles the translation to/from midi (or other protocols). Drivers would be needed for midi, including clock and SysEx signal (actually claiming to handle ALL midi quirks transparently All the important MIDI data types can be sent (CC, NRPN, RPN, MMC, Note On/Off, program change) There is no official way to solve the data bottleneck. Early software sequencers and librarians tried to solve it by having an option to buffer SYSEX data in software and transmit it at the MIDI data rate. The downside is that hogs the bus and can hit computer performance. Interface manufacturers would add a hardware buffer which would take all the MIDI data from the PC bus and feed it into the MIDI at the slower data rate, but that added cost and created timing issues. Things have moved on since then, but the principles remain the same. You can buffer in the hardware or in software, whether that is in the application or the interface driver. SYSEX will work perfectly well with that budget cable if your software handles the buffering. And while the cables with hardware buffers make SYSEX easier, they still have potential problems because of the limitations of the MIDI data rate. Your MIDI clock doesn't like being interrupted with a big program dump The serial / parallel ports were a direct connection, so faster. Now, everything in the computer is virtual and the only thing connected to the hardware is the kernel, hence everything is by default bottlenecked and jittery, regardless of which connection. So by the time the interface gets the information it's already too late. Ethernet network cable to transport MIDI over large distances, connect 2 MIDI In and 2 MIDI Out ports to patch, remap, filter and merge MIDI flows on a fine channel basis for tight MIDI throughput, latency and jitter Possibilities for DAWs of the future including a kind of sync reference for timing reference which an interface could sync to, hence all the timings then would be locked between the grid on the DAW screen and the MIDI info. Preemptible, low latency and accuracy are essential for good communication. One of the first things you need to do, is make sure your MIDI software sets the interface to the same MIDI channel as your keyboard (usually 1) Do you want to send just your master keyboard to other synths or to be able to use any keyboard with any synth? 1st option is relatively simple. Just need to send midi from your master keyboard into a midi splitter that redistributes the signal onto your synths. Each synth will be set up to receive midi on a specific channel so the only challenge is to find a way to select to which channel you are sending midi. Some master keyboards can do that although not many that have a dedicated knob or switch on the panel and most require a bit of menu diving. Could use a midi box that offers channel selection but usually this is not very workflow friendly. The software route would require using the mouse. 2nd option is a bit more complex but superior workflow by sending midi messages into a merge box, from there into a hardware sequencer that allows to select midi channel, then on to a midi interface that distributes the signal to the synths. Master keyboard MIDI-in to computer. External hardware sampler MIDI-out from computer. Audio-out from sampler to audio-in on computer/device.

While MIDI 1.0 by itself provides a communication protocol which ensures that different instruments can interoperate at a fundamental level e.g sound modules. GM goes further in two ways. First, GM requires that all compliant MIDI instruments meet a certain minimal set of features, such as being able to play at least 24 notes simultaneously (polyphony). Second, GM attaches specific interpretations to many parameters and control messages which were left unspecified in the MIDI 1.0 specification. A minimum of 128 MIDI Program Numbers (conforming to the GM 1 Instrument Patch Map) and 47 percussion sounds (conforming to the GM 1 Percussion Key Map). Support for controller number 1, 7, 10, 11, 64, 100, 101, 121 and 123; support for channel pressure and pitch bend controllers. General MIDI Level 2 or GM2 is a specification for synthesizers which defines several requirements beyond the MIDI standard and is based on General MIDI (GM) and Roland GS extensions. It was adopted in 1999 by the MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA). * Number of Notes: 32 simultaneous notes * MIDI Channels: 16 * Simultaneous Melodic Instruments – up to 16 (all Channels) * Simultaneous Percussion Kits – up to 2 (Channel 10/11) Program and bank change events General MIDI 2 compatible synthesizers access all of the 256 instruments by setting cc#0 (Bank Select MSB) to 121 and using cc#32 (Bank Select LSB) to select the variation bank before a Program Change. Variation bank 0 contains the full GM (General MIDI 1) sound set. Variations using other bank numbers are new to General MIDI 2, and correspond to variation sounds introduced in Roland GS.

They added clock selection and control, timing domains and others. Part of the changes included changing many of the descriptors that an audio device uses to describe itself to the machine. PsdErrorlog/PsdDevlister? The AHI driver generated only supports mono/stereo at any bit rates between 8 and 32 bit per sample, but not multichannel modes and only rates up to 65KHz (because AHI uses a 16-bit word for frequencies). If the soundcard does not offer such a PCM 8-32 bit mode at frequencies lower than 65 KHz, there's nothing much that can be done about it on the computer side other than revising and expanding the AHI standard. Most cheap USB soundcards do though. AHI does not support six channel playback. It only supports mono, stereo and multichannel (8 channels). Due to the multichannel mode not being used by any application so far, the usbaudio.class does not support multichannel playback, especially not "upchannelling" stereo to six or more channels. If this USB device does not support a two channel mode, you can't use it under AHI.

Well, those companies are using the same driver framework because all of those interfaces use the same microprocessor/firmware architecture to communicate with the USB bus. Just like almost all FireWire audio interfaces use the same TC Dice or BridgeCo chipsets. Usually it does not make sense for companies to develop their own USB1.1/USB2/FW framework for a product they are going to sell for <$500. However, that isn't the end of the story. The companies who develop audio interfaces implement different features into their devices and must update the driver and firmware to accommodate those features. That is where things can go wrong. Sometimes there is miss-communication about how things are coded, sometimes the developer who started a project leaves without transferring his knowledge to his successor, etc. You have to keep in mind that there are no "big" computer audio companies. Even the companies that seem big in the scale of the market, probably have fewer employees than you'd think. A very well made interface that is designed from scratch from the ground up would be a very expensive device, regardless of whether it's USB, FW, PCIe or whatever. Round-trip latency is the sum of the following: <pre> ASIO input buffer ASIO output buffer A/D D/A converter latency The driver's hidden safety buffer </pre> At a 64-sample ASIO buffer size/44.1k, Tascam units yield ~18ms total round-trip latency. Typical USB audio interfaces use a large hidden safety buffer. This helps ensure glitch-free playback... even under less than ideal circumstances. But... this comes at the expense of much higher round-trip latency. Short of doubling the sample-rate, there's no means of mitigating the higher round-trip latency. If you have no plans of ever monitoring in realtime thru software based EFX/processing (ie: playing/monitoring DI bass thru an AmpSim plugin as you're playing), then this may not matter to you. If you want the ability this play/monitor in realtime thru software based EFX/processing, make sure to get an audio interface that yields low round-trip latency. As a point of reference the best PCI/e audio interfaces yield about 5ms total round-trip latency at a 64-sample ASIO buffer size/44.1k The best Firewire and USB units yield 5.5-5.6ms total round-trip latency at those same settings. Typical USB and Firewire units (that use a large hidden safety buffer) yield 12-18ms total round-trip latency at those same settings. Anything above ~6ms starts to feel sluggish. Anything above ~10ms feels like playing thru molasses.

IsoChronous isoc code is already in place in poseidon.library and '''scheduled''' transfers are queued to be later rerouted in the host driver code (needs to be written for each host protocol e.g. OCHI, UCHI, EHCI and [https://cdrdv2-public.intel.com/625472/625472_xHCI_Rev1_2b.pdf#:~:text=Page%203.%20Document%20Number:%20625472%2C%20Revision:%201.2b.%203.

There seems to be 2 types of isoc transfers, one is just the normal isoc transfer and the other is realtime implementation of isoc transfer. For isoc transfer there needs to be a scheduler that makes sure no isoc transfers are dropped (in or out) and that they happen at the right time. It all gets difficult as the device making use of the isoc transfer may be at any point on the device tree. One needs to calculate the USB bandwidth for the packet based periodic transfers that are initiated by the host which have fixed but guaranteed bandwidth. Host controllers guarantee this bandwidth by planning a schedule of transfers ahead of time to ensure there is enough time reserved on the bus. [https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/products/docs/io/universal-serial-bus/ehci-specification.html EHCI] [https://www.thegoodpenguin.co.uk/blog/understanding-why-usb-isochronous-bandwidth-errors-occur/ bus-bandwidth] vs payload-bandwidth and the algorithm of the EHCI scheduler. The bandwidth of the endpoint in terms of payload data (stuff we put in a packet) and the protocol overhead, signalling imposed bit stuffing, host delays etc. Poseidon controls the driver and device tree and it provides an API to communicate with the USB devices. Poseidon really doesn't care much about what sort of transfer pipe is opened or used, it only provides the means to do so and forwards the iorequests to the correct driver. Poseidon code is the higher level code for USB communication and drivers are of course the lower level one.

The device will be handled by Poseidon USB stack. Poseidon is the USB stack with Trident adding a GUI (graphical user interface) prefs. the context sensitive page would come up right on pressing the help key inside the relevant window. The manual is in this archive, just in case it isn't in SYS:Locale/Help *How to change joystick mode to analogue? By default a connected USB joystick emulates Amiga digital joystick. To change this behaviour so that the joystick is presented as analogue you need to use Trident preferences application (System:Prefs/Trident). Open Trident and go to Devices on the left hand side (mouse click once on it). Select your controller from the list to the right and then click on Settings button below. This will open a new window. On the "General" tab find the "Lowlevel Library Joypad Emulation" section near the bottom. Find ports which are set to "Merge with USB" or "Override with USB" and change them to "Analogue Hack". Please note that analogue joystick support is an extension of original Amiga functionality, thus an Amiga application must be explicitly written to use it. AROS SDL library uses this functionality, thus all SDL applications that use joystick, can use the analogue joystick feature. The HID class has several options how to handle the input data: * Don't touch: The movement and button data for is not modified by the hid class. This is the default for the ports 0, 2, and 3. * Overwrite with USB: This will kill the original data that might had come from the internal ports and overwrites it with the joypad data for this USB interface. Note well: If you have multiple joypads connected, take care which setting you have selected for each port, because only the last interface with this option will actually send the joypad data to the game. * Merge with USB: This option merges the input data of the lowlevel.library with the USB stream. This only works, if the connected device on the original Amiga ports is NOT a mouse (because then the streams are incompatible). Merging should be the preferred method, because it leaves the original joysticks working. * Disable: Turns off the port for the application. * Analogue Hack: Tells Poseidon to force reporting of analogue data at the port. Please note that this only works with programs that understand the analogue data, because it's an extension to the original lowlevel.library standard made by Commodore. If you want to incorporate this feature in your software, just contact me and I will send you the necessary information. * Rumble Port: As addition to the analogue data, the HID class supports applications and games that want to utilize a rumble pack or force feedback motors in the gamepads. This field selects to which lowlevel port the hid device responds, when attempting to use the rumble pack. Normally, this corresponds to the port that has been set in the actions for the joypad. *How to change joystick port assignment? The low level library supports up to four ports. Port 0 is usually used by the mouse, port 1 is the standard port for joysticks/joypads. By default a connected USB joystick is present in Port 1. To change its location to Port 0 you need to use Trident preferences. Open Trident and go to Devices window. Select your controller from the list and then click on Settings button. This will open a new window. On the "General" tab find the "Lowlevel Library Joypad Emulation" section. Port 1 should be set as either "Merge with USB" or "Override with USB". Change this setting to "Don't touch". Change Port 0 setting to "Merge with USB". Go to "Actions" tab. In the "Reports and collection" select first entry named "Joystick". in the "Usage items" select "X axis". Go to "Performed actions" area. On the left there will be a list of triggers. Each of them should have (port1) in their params. Click on the first trigger and using buttons to the right of the list change port1 into port 0. Repeat this for all triggers and for all items on "Usage items" list. *How to make joystick simulate keyboard keys? With Poseidon it is possible to make the joystick simulate the keyboard pressings. This might enable using joystick for playing games which only have keyboard support. This feature is configured in Trident preferences. Open Trident and go to Devices window. Select your controller from the list and then click on Settings button. This will open a new window. Go to "Actions" tab. On the right top window select X axis. On the left bottom list select an entry "Digital Joystick, Push left(port 1)". On the panel to the right change "Digital joystick" into "Raw Key". A list of keys will be displayed. Select key you wish to send. Repeat the same procedure for "Digital Joystick, Release left (port 1)" option but this time check "Send key up even instead of key down". Open shell and move your joystick to the left - your selected letter should appear in the shell. *Analogue in Trident Prefs * Open the Trident USB Prefs -> Devices -> Select your joypad -> Settings button -> Action TAB * See some "axis" listed under "Usage items" in the top right of the window. They are your analog stick(s) * Check [x] Track Incoming Events which is half way down the window on the left And you should see some axis activity in "Usage items" when you move the analog stick *Actions HID class item -> Settings -> HID Class Window -> Action Tab -> Action handling area Reports and collections -> Usage Items -> Performed actions Qualifier keys are *special*. You don't only need to create the actual keypress but also modify the qualifiers. Go to the keyboard panel and find the windows menu key by enabling key tracking and pressing the windows menu key. Then assign the right amiga key to it. Go to the actions panel and find the right amiga key (it's called "Keyboard right GUI"). Remember the actions stored there, best write them down in exact order. Then delete them. Find the windows menu item and add the missing qualifier action. Be sure the parameters are exactly the same and the order is right. Set them to Raw, then assign an up and down button for each character, etc. when you change the settings to RAW so you can assign keyboard strokes. it will always say, KEYDOWN or what ever on the left, it never provides and option for key release. The problem still remains though that if I try to assign the Directional Pad (Hat) to Arrow Keys, that things will get screwed up and you either can not move with the directional PAD (HAT), or movements are assigned to the Left Analog, and do not work as they should, it's as if the right and down arrow keys are ALWAYS On, regardless of the fact that I did indeed assign a Key release command to each input. check that by pressing analog directions and see the current values, and the thresholds configured in poseidon to bind them to left/right/up/down. misconfigured too much stuff in the HID settings, you can always go in poseidon->config list entry and delete the config item related to your device (or the HID class setting itself), back to basics. *Rumble in Trident Prefs Open Trident Prefs and click on the Devices option in the left hand window. Click with the mouse once on your gamepad choice on the right hand side and again on the Settings button below. In the new window, select the '''General''' TAB and half way down on the right there is an "Open Now" button in the section "HID output control window". Clicking on that button opens another window (HID Control) with sliders for the two rumble engines inside the controllers and you can test if they work. '''Sometimes clicking that button does nothing, other times it will open the window and say nothing is detected.''' The leftmost two sliders do nothing, the third one has a large rumble effect, and the fourth one has a small rumble effect. ===Graphic Drawing Tablet=== There is a standard in HID for tablets possibly mouse type. If the tablet is HID conforming in that sense, it should work. Aiptek does a fairly good job at this. The other competitor, Wacom, didn't pay too much attention to this and simply adapted their legacy serial protocol into HID in a very awkward way.

Tablets report pressure (and tilt on expensive models) and are absolute pointing devices (put the pen at the top left and the mouse pointer will go to the top left of the screen). Graphic drawing area, what keys, report rate, resolution lpi lpmm, accuracy, pressure levels (may come from the app), origin position, Wacom tablets use electromagnetic resonance technology. Since the tablet provides power to the pen through resonant inductive coupling, no power is required for the pointing device. As a result, no batteries are inside the pen (or the accompanying puck), making them lighter and slimmer. Under the tablet's surface (or LCD in the case of the Cintiq) is a printed circuit board with a grid of multiple send/receive coils and a magnetic reflector attached behind the grid. In send mode, the tablet generates a close-coupled electromagnetic field (also known as a B-field) at a frequency of 531&nbsp;kHz. This close-coupled field stimulates oscillation in the pen's coil/capacitor (LC) circuit when brought into range of the B-field. Any excess resonant electromagnetic energy is reflected back to the tablet. In receive mode, the energy of the resonant circuit’s oscillations in the pen is detected by the tablet's grid. This information is analyzed by the computer to determine the pen's position, by interpolation and Fourier analysis of the signal intensity. In addition, the pen communicates information such as pen tip pressure, side-switch status, tip vs. eraser orientation and ID number (to differentiate between different pens, mice, etc.). For example, applying more or less pressure to the tip of the pen changes the value of the pen's timing circuit capacitor. This signal change can be communicated in an analog or digital method. An analog implementation modulates the phase angle of the resonant frequency, while a digital method is communicated to a modulator that distributes the information digitally. The tablet forwards this and other relevant tool information in packets, up to 200 times per second, to the computer. If you disable (delete all of them except for one that needs to be set to "no action", so that it will not be regenerated as default) the Extra Startup actions, the tablet should remain in relative mouse mode—you will not get pressure information in that mode though.

There has been an attempt at recent AirPrint support *Inkjet *Laser Start simple and then test every higher level... * can if you ping your printer (the IP addy is good)? * set up LPR/IPP to talk to that known good IP address. * see if you can copy a few words of plain ASCII text to the IPP/LPR device (do you have a connection)? * see if you can find a simple postscript file and then copy it to the IPP/LPR device. * see if you can set up to print directly to the IPP/LPR device (set "Output file" to PRT: or LPR:). * see if you can set up a PS printer config to the IPP/LPR device. * go back and try the tests with the other driver (LPR or IPP). See [http://www.irseesoft.de/tp_drive7.htm here] for compatibility with TP7 (TurboPrint 7) Last update 2004. Not tested under emulation. Janus-UAE, Emumiga, Amiberry etc usbparallel.device untested with USB->Centronics - The printer.class is rather 'clever'. It remembers to which unit the printers were connected (until you reboot). So if you first plug in Printer1, it gets unit 0, and Printer2 gets unit 1. If you now remove both printers and replug Printer2, it still will get unit 1 and not 0. This is used not to confuse the programs using the different units (moreover, if some program uses the usbparallel.device unit of an USB printer, and the printer is unplugged, the device unit cannot be freed immediately as the application still keeps it open). {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="30%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="10%" |Product ID ! width="10%" |Revision ! width="50%" |Opinion |- | Beige cream D shape centronics end (Prolific chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Belkin F5U002v1 centronics end (chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Belkin F5U002VEA v2 centronics end (Prolific PL2305L chipset) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | DYNAMODE USB-C-PP-1284 USB to 36pin (Prolific 2305 chipset) | 0x067b | 0x2305 | 0x02 | {{N/A|untested but similar to BAFO below}} |- | IOGear GUC1284B | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | My-Link (raised ellipse on centronics plastic end) (unknown chipset) | | | | {{N/A|untested but more expensive }} |- | NEWLink (Prolific chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Targus PA096E centronics end (chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | TRENDnet ware TU-P1284 | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | True PnP (Prolific chipset 2305) cheap 36pin Centronics (series of ridges along both short sides) | 0x067b | 0x2305 | 2.00 | {{N/A|untested on BAFO BF-1284 but reports of poor quality and lack of support on other OSs }} |- style="background:lightgrey;{{text default color}}; text-align:center; font-weight:bold;" | Description | Vendor ID | Product ID | Revision | Opinion |- | Transparent See Through Blue | | | | {{N/A|untested but possible poor quality build }} |- | Dynamode USB-PARALLEL 25pin female (prolific) | 0x067b | 0x2305 | 0x02 | {{N/A|untested}} |- | FDL USB to 25pin | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | PlusKom USB to 25pin female connector for printer (IEEE 1284) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | QinHeng Electronics (CH340S chipset) | 0x1a86 | 0x7584 | | {{N/A|untested curvy sides - flat top }} |- | StarTech | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Syba SD-USB-DB25 | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- |} Postscript interpreters (eg ghostscript) have been developed as a cheaper option which sit in between postscript data streams and non postscript printers. Ghostscript has internal printer drivers gs -h and with something like gs -sDEVICE=stcolor -r300 -sOutputFile=RAM:tempfile gs813:examples/tiger.ps copytopar ram:tempfile It checks if in RAM: exists a outputfile (Cinnamon can export to PS postscript) then it sends this via copytopar to the printer. There was only support for parport (parallel) but Terminillis added support for USB and ethernet. A big issue with using ghostscript for drivers is that data has to originate as postscript (.PS) file. gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=RAM:tempfile RAM:file.pdf the ljet4 output device generates PCL also the pxlmono driver, which generates more generic PXL (PCL 6) gs -q -sstdout=%stderr -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=- -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER testpage-a4.ps > test.pdf gs -q -sstdout=%stderr -sDEVICE=pxlmono -sOutputFile=- -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER test.pdf > test.pxl Printers supported by ghostscript...Explanation [http://freebooks.by.ru/view/RedHatLinux6Unleashed/rhl6u151.htm here] or [http://www.gnu.org/software/ghostscript/devices.html here] and [http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/printer.htm here] <pre> bit cljet5 ljet4d pjxl300 pxlcolor bitcmyk cljet5c ljetplus pkm pxlmono bitrgb deskjet nullpage pkmraw stp bj10e djet500 pbm pksm tiff12nc bj200 epswrite pbmraw pksmraw tiff24nc bjc600 faxg3 pcx16 png16 tiffcrle bjc800 faxg32d pcx24b png16m tiffg3 bmp16 faxg4 pcx256 png256 tiffg32d bmp16m ijs pcxcmyk pnggray tiffg4 bmp256 jpeg pcxgray pngmono tifflzw bmp32b jpeggray pcxmono pnm tiffpack bmpgray laserjet pdfwrite pnmraw uniprint bmpmono lj5gray pgm ppm x11 bmpsep1 lj5mono pgmraw ppmraw x11alpha bmpsep8 ljet2p pgnm psgray x11cmyk cdeskjet ljet3 pgnmraw psmono x11gray2 cdj550 ljet3d pj psrgb x11gray4 cdjcolor ljet4 pjxl pswrite x11mono cdjmono </pre> ==rawwrap.class - some old flatbed scanners supported== Scandal is the MUI frontend to [http://www.ppa.pl/bugtracker/ Betascan Bugtracker] and [http://aminet.net/search?query=betascan Search for Betascan scanner drivers] derived from [http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html sane backends] [http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html#S-EPSON2 Epson2] {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="30%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="10%" |Product ID ! width="10%" |Revision ! width="50%" |Opinion |- | Expression 1600 1640XL 1680 10000XL | 0x04b8 | 0x0107 | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{unk| }} |- | Prefection 1200U, 1200 Photo, | 0x04b8 | 0x0104 | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{unk| }} |- | Perfection 1240U | 0x04b8 | 0x010b | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{[https://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=45760&forum=25 works]|Needs 24V 0.8A psu but in Trident, click on "Classes", then on "rawwrap.class", then on "Configure".

Easy to do at the rate of a 1990's modem speed these days. USB over midi.. turns midi into a polled protocol.. So the USB host (typically the computer) has to ask "do you have anything for me" before the remote will send. If the USB host gets busy doing other things or there is a lot of things on the USB bus to get polled, you can get delays. For its age midi is still a great protocol for music * [https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/midi10.pdf USBIF's "USB Device Class Definition for MIDI Devices" document, version 1.0 from Nov 1, 1999] * [https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/USB%20MIDI%20v2_0.pdf MIDI v2.0 from 2020 which AROS still needs, adds support for MIDI 2.0, MIDI-CI, and Universal MIDI Packet] Nearly all synthesizers now use the 16 MIDI channels available on a MIDI bus in one instrument alone, requiring multiple MIDI busses in a typical setup with more than one MIDI instrument. In addition, by handling multiple "virtual" cables, USB offers a solution to go beyond MIDI's 16-channel limit. MIDI data is transferred over USB using 32-bit USB-MIDI Event Packets. These packets provide an efficient method to transfer multiple MIDI streams with fixed length messages. The 32-bit USB-MIDI Event Packet allows multiple "virtual MIDI cables" routed over the same USB endpoint. This approach minimizes the number of required endpoints. It also makes parsing MIDI events easier by packetizing the separate bytes of a MIDI event into one parsed USB-MIDI event. {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="25%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="5%" |Product ID ! width="5%" |Revision ! width="15%" |CAMD ! width="30%" |Opinion |- | <!--Description-->Computer | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{Yes|which acts as USB midi host to get all usb devices talking together}} |- | <!--Description-->Hobbytronics usb host standalone | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description-->bomebox | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description-->[https://neuma.studio/rpi-as-midi-host/ raspberry pi] with several midi interface(s) and linux scripting | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{unk| }} |- | <!--Description-->Kenton MIDI USB Host mk3 | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description--> | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description--> | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |} {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="25%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="5%" |Product ID ! width="5%" |Revision ! width="15%" |CAMD ! width="30%" |Opinion |- | <!--Description-->Acorn Instruments Masterkey 49 device | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD-->{{unk| }} | <!--Opinion-->2018 untested usb powered 5V regulated -

The inventors, Kakehashi and Smith finally received a Technical Grammy Award in 2013 for their work. The MIDI files that contained just the note data, velocity and timing meant you could transfer an entire studio session from one place to another on one floppy disk and it could control all the synths and drum samplers. Pass-thru meant that one computer could run an entire bands worth of instruments. It's bulletproof too. MIDI never goes wrong, it's always a bug in software that causes any issue - you can absolutely rely on it to go gigging with, take your synths, controllers and computers and not crash an entire gig at your 100,000 person venue. The MIDI hardware specification is very simple (voltage, polarity, screening, protection and a fast enough opto-isolator), it assumes that the data it sends and receives between MIDI devices is to the MIDI data standard and just passes it on. The microprocessor in the hardware does all the work. The minimum for a computer/MIDI interface is that it meets the MIDI hardware specification. It is attached to the computer bus and handles the electrical conversions required. To meet the MIDI hardware specification, to be class compliant as a USB device all it has to do is report itself properly when plugged in. The other half of the equation is the MIDI data standard, and for a computer MIDI interface the main issue is the speed of data transmission. The bus speed of the computer is faster than the speed of the MIDI standard so it can generate and send MIDI data faster than a MIDI device can receive it. The MIDI standards have nothing to say on that bottleneck at all. MIDI was designed to be very simple and very open, it just defines a standard for the messages and leaves it up to manufacturers to implement them in the way they want. That's what makes it so powerful a tool, and also what makes it so confusing and frustrating at times. For midi, the hardware/software combination at various connection points handles the translation to/from midi (or other protocols). Drivers would be needed for midi, including clock and SysEx signal (actually claiming to handle ALL midi quirks transparently All the important MIDI data types can be sent (CC, NRPN, RPN, MMC, Note On/Off, program change) There is no official way to solve the data bottleneck. Early software sequencers and librarians tried to solve it by having an option to buffer SYSEX data in software and transmit it at the MIDI data rate. The downside is that hogs the bus and can hit computer performance. Interface manufacturers would add a hardware buffer which would take all the MIDI data from the PC bus and feed it into the MIDI at the slower data rate, but that added cost and created timing issues. Things have moved on since then, but the principles remain the same. You can buffer in the hardware or in software, whether that is in the application or the interface driver. SYSEX will work perfectly well with that budget cable if your software handles the buffering. And while the cables with hardware buffers make SYSEX easier, they still have potential problems because of the limitations of the MIDI data rate. Your MIDI clock doesn't like being interrupted with a big program dump The serial / parallel ports were a direct connection, so faster. Now, everything in the computer is virtual and the only thing connected to the hardware is the kernel, hence everything is by default bottlenecked and jittery, regardless of which connection. So by the time the interface gets the information it's already too late. Ethernet network cable to transport MIDI over large distances, connect 2 MIDI In and 2 MIDI Out ports to patch, remap, filter and merge MIDI flows on a fine channel basis for tight MIDI throughput, latency and jitter Possibilities for DAWs of the future including a kind of sync reference for timing reference which an interface could sync to, hence all the timings then would be locked between the grid on the DAW screen and the MIDI info. Preemptible, low latency and accuracy are essential for good communication. One of the first things you need to do, is make sure your MIDI software sets the interface to the same MIDI channel as your keyboard (usually 1) Do you want to send just your master keyboard to other synths or to be able to use any keyboard with any synth? 1st option is relatively simple. Just need to send midi from your master keyboard into a midi splitter that redistributes the signal onto your synths. Each synth will be set up to receive midi on a specific channel so the only challenge is to find a way to select to which channel you are sending midi. Some master keyboards can do that although not many that have a dedicated knob or switch on the panel and most require a bit of menu diving. Could use a midi box that offers channel selection but usually this is not very workflow friendly. The software route would require using the mouse. 2nd option is a bit more complex but superior workflow by sending midi messages into a merge box, from there into a hardware sequencer that allows to select midi channel, then on to a midi interface that distributes the signal to the synths. Master keyboard MIDI-in to computer. External hardware sampler MIDI-out from computer. Audio-out from sampler to audio-in on computer/device.

While MIDI 1.0 by itself provides a communication protocol which ensures that different instruments can interoperate at a fundamental level e.g sound modules. GM goes further in two ways. First, GM requires that all compliant MIDI instruments meet a certain minimal set of features, such as being able to play at least 24 notes simultaneously (polyphony). Second, GM attaches specific interpretations to many parameters and control messages which were left unspecified in the MIDI 1.0 specification. A minimum of 128 MIDI Program Numbers (conforming to the GM 1 Instrument Patch Map) and 47 percussion sounds (conforming to the GM 1 Percussion Key Map). Support for controller number 1, 7, 10, 11, 64, 100, 101, 121 and 123; support for channel pressure and pitch bend controllers. General MIDI Level 2 or GM2 is a specification for synthesizers which defines several requirements beyond the MIDI standard and is based on General MIDI (GM) and Roland GS extensions. It was adopted in 1999 by the MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA). * Number of Notes: 32 simultaneous notes * MIDI Channels: 16 * Simultaneous Melodic Instruments – up to 16 (all Channels) * Simultaneous Percussion Kits – up to 2 (Channel 10/11) Program and bank change events General MIDI 2 compatible synthesizers access all of the 256 instruments by setting cc#0 (Bank Select MSB) to 121 and using cc#32 (Bank Select LSB) to select the variation bank before a Program Change. Variation bank 0 contains the full GM (General MIDI 1) sound set. Variations using other bank numbers are new to General MIDI 2, and correspond to variation sounds introduced in Roland GS.

They added clock selection and control, timing domains and others. Part of the changes included changing many of the descriptors that an audio device uses to describe itself to the machine. PsdErrorlog/PsdDevlister? The AHI driver generated only supports mono/stereo at any bit rates between 8 and 32 bit per sample, but not multichannel modes and only rates up to 65KHz (because AHI uses a 16-bit word for frequencies). If the soundcard does not offer such a PCM 8-32 bit mode at frequencies lower than 65 KHz, there's nothing much that can be done about it on the computer side other than revising and expanding the AHI standard. Most cheap USB soundcards do though. AHI does not support six channel playback. It only supports mono, stereo and multichannel (8 channels). Due to the multichannel mode not being used by any application so far, the usbaudio.class does not support multichannel playback, especially not "upchannelling" stereo to six or more channels. If this USB device does not support a two channel mode, you can't use it under AHI.

Well, those companies are using the same driver framework because all of those interfaces use the same microprocessor/firmware architecture to communicate with the USB bus. Just like almost all FireWire audio interfaces use the same TC Dice or BridgeCo chipsets. Usually it does not make sense for companies to develop their own USB1.1/USB2/FW framework for a product they are going to sell for <$500. However, that isn't the end of the story. The companies who develop audio interfaces implement different features into their devices and must update the driver and firmware to accommodate those features. That is where things can go wrong. Sometimes there is miss-communication about how things are coded, sometimes the developer who started a project leaves without transferring his knowledge to his successor, etc. You have to keep in mind that there are no "big" computer audio companies. Even the companies that seem big in the scale of the market, probably have fewer employees than you'd think. A very well made interface that is designed from scratch from the ground up would be a very expensive device, regardless of whether it's USB, FW, PCIe or whatever. Round-trip latency is the sum of the following: <pre> ASIO input buffer ASIO output buffer A/D D/A converter latency The driver's hidden safety buffer </pre> At a 64-sample ASIO buffer size/44.1k, Tascam units yield ~18ms total round-trip latency. Typical USB audio interfaces use a large hidden safety buffer. This helps ensure glitch-free playback... even under less than ideal circumstances. But... this comes at the expense of much higher round-trip latency. Short of doubling the sample-rate, there's no means of mitigating the higher round-trip latency. If you have no plans of ever monitoring in realtime thru software based EFX/processing (ie: playing/monitoring DI bass thru an AmpSim plugin as you're playing), then this may not matter to you. If you want the ability this play/monitor in realtime thru software based EFX/processing, make sure to get an audio interface that yields low round-trip latency. As a point of reference the best PCI/e audio interfaces yield about 5ms total round-trip latency at a 64-sample ASIO buffer size/44.1k The best Firewire and USB units yield 5.5-5.6ms total round-trip latency at those same settings. Typical USB and Firewire units (that use a large hidden safety buffer) yield 12-18ms total round-trip latency at those same settings. Anything above ~6ms starts to feel sluggish. Anything above ~10ms feels like playing thru molasses.

IsoChronous isoc code is already in place in poseidon.library and '''scheduled''' transfers are queued to be later rerouted in the host driver code (needs to be written for each host protocol e.g. OCHI, UCHI, EHCI and [https://cdrdv2-public.intel.com/625472/625472_xHCI_Rev1_2b.pdf#:~:text=Page%203.%20Document%20Number:%20625472%2C%20Revision:%201.2b.%203.

There seems to be 2 types of isoc transfers, one is just the normal isoc transfer and the other is realtime implementation of isoc transfer. For isoc transfer there needs to be a scheduler that makes sure no isoc transfers are dropped (in or out) and that they happen at the right time. It all gets difficult as the device making use of the isoc transfer may be at any point on the device tree. One needs to calculate the USB bandwidth for the packet based periodic transfers that are initiated by the host which have fixed but guaranteed bandwidth. Host controllers guarantee this bandwidth by planning a schedule of transfers ahead of time to ensure there is enough time reserved on the bus. [https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/products/docs/io/universal-serial-bus/ehci-specification.html EHCI] [https://www.thegoodpenguin.co.uk/blog/understanding-why-usb-isochronous-bandwidth-errors-occur/ bus-bandwidth] vs payload-bandwidth and the algorithm of the EHCI scheduler. The bandwidth of the endpoint in terms of payload data (stuff we put in a packet) and the protocol overhead, signalling imposed bit stuffing, host delays etc. Poseidon controls the driver and device tree and it provides an API to communicate with the USB devices. Poseidon really doesn't care much about what sort of transfer pipe is opened or used, it only provides the means to do so and forwards the iorequests to the correct driver. Poseidon code is the higher level code for USB communication and drivers are of course the lower level one.

The device will be handled by Poseidon USB stack. Poseidon is the USB stack with Trident adding a GUI (graphical user interface) prefs. the context sensitive page would come up right on pressing the help key inside the relevant window. The manual is in this archive, just in case it isn't in SYS:Locale/Help *How to change joystick mode to analogue? By default a connected USB joystick emulates Amiga digital joystick. To change this behaviour so that the joystick is presented as analogue you need to use Trident preferences application (System:Prefs/Trident). Open Trident and go to Devices on the left hand side (mouse click once on it). Select your controller from the list to the right and then click on Settings button below. This will open a new window. On the "General" tab find the "Lowlevel Library Joypad Emulation" section near the bottom. Find ports which are set to "Merge with USB" or "Override with USB" and change them to "Analogue Hack". Please note that analogue joystick support is an extension of original Amiga functionality, thus an Amiga application must be explicitly written to use it. AROS SDL library uses this functionality, thus all SDL applications that use joystick, can use the analogue joystick feature. The HID class has several options how to handle the input data: * Don't touch: The movement and button data for is not modified by the hid class. This is the default for the ports 0, 2, and 3. * Overwrite with USB: This will kill the original data that might had come from the internal ports and overwrites it with the joypad data for this USB interface. Note well: If you have multiple joypads connected, take care which setting you have selected for each port, because only the last interface with this option will actually send the joypad data to the game. * Merge with USB: This option merges the input data of the lowlevel.library with the USB stream. This only works, if the connected device on the original Amiga ports is NOT a mouse (because then the streams are incompatible). Merging should be the preferred method, because it leaves the original joysticks working. * Disable: Turns off the port for the application. * Analogue Hack: Tells Poseidon to force reporting of analogue data at the port. Please note that this only works with programs that understand the analogue data, because it's an extension to the original lowlevel.library standard made by Commodore. If you want to incorporate this feature in your software, just contact me and I will send you the necessary information. * Rumble Port: As addition to the analogue data, the HID class supports applications and games that want to utilize a rumble pack or force feedback motors in the gamepads. This field selects to which lowlevel port the hid device responds, when attempting to use the rumble pack. Normally, this corresponds to the port that has been set in the actions for the joypad. *How to change joystick port assignment? The low level library supports up to four ports. Port 0 is usually used by the mouse, port 1 is the standard port for joysticks/joypads. By default a connected USB joystick is present in Port 1. To change its location to Port 0 you need to use Trident preferences. Open Trident and go to Devices window. Select your controller from the list and then click on Settings button. This will open a new window. On the "General" tab find the "Lowlevel Library Joypad Emulation" section. Port 1 should be set as either "Merge with USB" or "Override with USB". Change this setting to "Don't touch". Change Port 0 setting to "Merge with USB". Go to "Actions" tab. In the "Reports and collection" select first entry named "Joystick". in the "Usage items" select "X axis". Go to "Performed actions" area. On the left there will be a list of triggers. Each of them should have (port1) in their params. Click on the first trigger and using buttons to the right of the list change port1 into port 0. Repeat this for all triggers and for all items on "Usage items" list. *How to make joystick simulate keyboard keys? With Poseidon it is possible to make the joystick simulate the keyboard pressings. This might enable using joystick for playing games which only have keyboard support. This feature is configured in Trident preferences. Open Trident and go to Devices window. Select your controller from the list and then click on Settings button. This will open a new window. Go to "Actions" tab. On the right top window select X axis. On the left bottom list select an entry "Digital Joystick, Push left(port 1)". On the panel to the right change "Digital joystick" into "Raw Key". A list of keys will be displayed. Select key you wish to send. Repeat the same procedure for "Digital Joystick, Release left (port 1)" option but this time check "Send key up even instead of key down". Open shell and move your joystick to the left - your selected letter should appear in the shell. *Analogue in Trident Prefs * Open the Trident USB Prefs -> Devices -> Select your joypad -> Settings button -> Action TAB * See some "axis" listed under "Usage items" in the top right of the window. They are your analog stick(s) * Check [x] Track Incoming Events which is half way down the window on the left And you should see some axis activity in "Usage items" when you move the analog stick *Actions HID class item -> Settings -> HID Class Window -> Action Tab -> Action handling area Reports and collections -> Usage Items -> Performed actions Qualifier keys are *special*. You don't only need to create the actual keypress but also modify the qualifiers. Go to the keyboard panel and find the windows menu key by enabling key tracking and pressing the windows menu key. Then assign the right amiga key to it. Go to the actions panel and find the right amiga key (it's called "Keyboard right GUI"). Remember the actions stored there, best write them down in exact order. Then delete them. Find the windows menu item and add the missing qualifier action. Be sure the parameters are exactly the same and the order is right. Set them to Raw, then assign an up and down button for each character, etc. when you change the settings to RAW so you can assign keyboard strokes. it will always say, KEYDOWN or what ever on the left, it never provides and option for key release. The problem still remains though that if I try to assign the Directional Pad (Hat) to Arrow Keys, that things will get screwed up and you either can not move with the directional PAD (HAT), or movements are assigned to the Left Analog, and do not work as they should, it's as if the right and down arrow keys are ALWAYS On, regardless of the fact that I did indeed assign a Key release command to each input. check that by pressing analog directions and see the current values, and the thresholds configured in poseidon to bind them to left/right/up/down. misconfigured too much stuff in the HID settings, you can always go in poseidon->config list entry and delete the config item related to your device (or the HID class setting itself), back to basics. *Rumble in Trident Prefs Open Trident Prefs and click on the Devices option in the left hand window. Click with the mouse once on your gamepad choice on the right hand side and again on the Settings button below. In the new window, select the '''General''' TAB and half way down on the right there is an "Open Now" button in the section "HID output control window". Clicking on that button opens another window (HID Control) with sliders for the two rumble engines inside the controllers and you can test if they work. '''Sometimes clicking that button does nothing, other times it will open the window and say nothing is detected.''' The leftmost two sliders do nothing, the third one has a large rumble effect, and the fourth one has a small rumble effect. ===Graphic Drawing Tablet=== There is a standard in HID for tablets possibly mouse type. If the tablet is HID conforming in that sense, it should work. Aiptek does a fairly good job at this. The other competitor, Wacom, didn't pay too much attention to this and simply adapted their legacy serial protocol into HID in a very awkward way.

Tablets report pressure (and tilt on expensive models) and are absolute pointing devices (put the pen at the top left and the mouse pointer will go to the top left of the screen). Graphic drawing area, what keys, report rate, resolution lpi lpmm, accuracy, pressure levels (may come from the app), origin position, Wacom tablets use electromagnetic resonance technology. Since the tablet provides power to the pen through resonant inductive coupling, no power is required for the pointing device. As a result, no batteries are inside the pen (or the accompanying puck), making them lighter and slimmer. Under the tablet's surface (or LCD in the case of the Cintiq) is a printed circuit board with a grid of multiple send/receive coils and a magnetic reflector attached behind the grid. In send mode, the tablet generates a close-coupled electromagnetic field (also known as a B-field) at a frequency of 531&nbsp;kHz. This close-coupled field stimulates oscillation in the pen's coil/capacitor (LC) circuit when brought into range of the B-field. Any excess resonant electromagnetic energy is reflected back to the tablet. In receive mode, the energy of the resonant circuit’s oscillations in the pen is detected by the tablet's grid. This information is analyzed by the computer to determine the pen's position, by interpolation and Fourier analysis of the signal intensity. In addition, the pen communicates information such as pen tip pressure, side-switch status, tip vs. eraser orientation and ID number (to differentiate between different pens, mice, etc.). For example, applying more or less pressure to the tip of the pen changes the value of the pen's timing circuit capacitor. This signal change can be communicated in an analog or digital method. An analog implementation modulates the phase angle of the resonant frequency, while a digital method is communicated to a modulator that distributes the information digitally. The tablet forwards this and other relevant tool information in packets, up to 200 times per second, to the computer. If you disable (delete all of them except for one that needs to be set to "no action", so that it will not be regenerated as default) the Extra Startup actions, the tablet should remain in relative mouse mode—you will not get pressure information in that mode though.

There has been an attempt at recent AirPrint support *Inkjet *Laser Start simple and then test every higher level... * can if you ping your printer (the IP addy is good)? * set up LPR/IPP to talk to that known good IP address. * see if you can copy a few words of plain ASCII text to the IPP/LPR device (do you have a connection)? * see if you can find a simple postscript file and then copy it to the IPP/LPR device. * see if you can set up to print directly to the IPP/LPR device (set "Output file" to PRT: or LPR:). * see if you can set up a PS printer config to the IPP/LPR device. * go back and try the tests with the other driver (LPR or IPP). See [http://www.irseesoft.de/tp_drive7.htm here] for compatibility with TP7 (TurboPrint 7) Last update 2004. Not tested under emulation. Janus-UAE, Emumiga, Amiberry etc usbparallel.device untested with USB->Centronics - The printer.class is rather 'clever'. It remembers to which unit the printers were connected (until you reboot). So if you first plug in Printer1, it gets unit 0, and Printer2 gets unit 1. If you now remove both printers and replug Printer2, it still will get unit 1 and not 0. This is used not to confuse the programs using the different units (moreover, if some program uses the usbparallel.device unit of an USB printer, and the printer is unplugged, the device unit cannot be freed immediately as the application still keeps it open). {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="30%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="10%" |Product ID ! width="10%" |Revision ! width="50%" |Opinion |- | Beige cream D shape centronics end (Prolific chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Belkin F5U002v1 centronics end (chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Belkin F5U002VEA v2 centronics end (Prolific PL2305L chipset) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | DYNAMODE USB-C-PP-1284 USB to 36pin (Prolific 2305 chipset) | 0x067b | 0x2305 | 0x02 | {{N/A|untested but similar to BAFO below}} |- | IOGear GUC1284B | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | My-Link (raised ellipse on centronics plastic end) (unknown chipset) | | | | {{N/A|untested but more expensive }} |- | NEWLink (Prolific chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Targus PA096E centronics end (chipset?) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | TRENDnet ware TU-P1284 | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | True PnP (Prolific chipset 2305) cheap 36pin Centronics (series of ridges along both short sides) | 0x067b | 0x2305 | 2.00 | {{N/A|untested on BAFO BF-1284 but reports of poor quality and lack of support on other OSs }} |- style="background:lightgrey;{{text default color}}; text-align:center; font-weight:bold;" | Description | Vendor ID | Product ID | Revision | Opinion |- | Transparent See Through Blue | | | | {{N/A|untested but possible poor quality build }} |- | Dynamode USB-PARALLEL 25pin female (prolific) | 0x067b | 0x2305 | 0x02 | {{N/A|untested}} |- | FDL USB to 25pin | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | PlusKom USB to 25pin female connector for printer (IEEE 1284) | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | QinHeng Electronics (CH340S chipset) | 0x1a86 | 0x7584 | | {{N/A|untested curvy sides - flat top }} |- | StarTech | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- | Syba SD-USB-DB25 | | | | {{N/A|untested}} |- |} Postscript interpreters (eg ghostscript) have been developed as a cheaper option which sit in between postscript data streams and non postscript printers. Ghostscript has internal printer drivers gs -h and with something like gs -sDEVICE=stcolor -r300 -sOutputFile=RAM:tempfile gs813:examples/tiger.ps copytopar ram:tempfile It checks if in RAM: exists a outputfile (Cinnamon can export to PS postscript) then it sends this via copytopar to the printer. There was only support for parport (parallel) but Terminillis added support for USB and ethernet. A big issue with using ghostscript for drivers is that data has to originate as postscript (.PS) file. gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=RAM:tempfile RAM:file.pdf the ljet4 output device generates PCL also the pxlmono driver, which generates more generic PXL (PCL 6) gs -q -sstdout=%stderr -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=- -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER testpage-a4.ps > test.pdf gs -q -sstdout=%stderr -sDEVICE=pxlmono -sOutputFile=- -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dPARANOIDSAFER test.pdf > test.pxl Printers supported by ghostscript...Explanation [http://freebooks.by.ru/view/RedHatLinux6Unleashed/rhl6u151.htm here] or [http://www.gnu.org/software/ghostscript/devices.html here] and [http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/printer.htm here] <pre> bit cljet5 ljet4d pjxl300 pxlcolor bitcmyk cljet5c ljetplus pkm pxlmono bitrgb deskjet nullpage pkmraw stp bj10e djet500 pbm pksm tiff12nc bj200 epswrite pbmraw pksmraw tiff24nc bjc600 faxg3 pcx16 png16 tiffcrle bjc800 faxg32d pcx24b png16m tiffg3 bmp16 faxg4 pcx256 png256 tiffg32d bmp16m ijs pcxcmyk pnggray tiffg4 bmp256 jpeg pcxgray pngmono tifflzw bmp32b jpeggray pcxmono pnm tiffpack bmpgray laserjet pdfwrite pnmraw uniprint bmpmono lj5gray pgm ppm x11 bmpsep1 lj5mono pgmraw ppmraw x11alpha bmpsep8 ljet2p pgnm psgray x11cmyk cdeskjet ljet3 pgnmraw psmono x11gray2 cdj550 ljet3d pj psrgb x11gray4 cdjcolor ljet4 pjxl pswrite x11mono cdjmono </pre> ==rawwrap.class - some old flatbed scanners supported== Scandal is the MUI frontend to [http://www.ppa.pl/bugtracker/ Betascan Bugtracker] and [http://aminet.net/search?query=betascan Search for Betascan scanner drivers] derived from [http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html sane backends] [http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html#S-EPSON2 Epson2] {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="30%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="10%" |Product ID ! width="10%" |Revision ! width="50%" |Opinion |- | Expression 1600 1640XL 1680 10000XL | 0x04b8 | 0x0107 | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{unk| }} |- | Prefection 1200U, 1200 Photo, | 0x04b8 | 0x0104 | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{unk| }} |- | Perfection 1240U | 0x04b8 | 0x010b | <!--Revision--> | <!--Opinion-->{{[https://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=45760&forum=25 works]|Needs 24V 0.8A psu but in Trident, click on "Classes", then on "rawwrap.class", then on "Configure".

Easy to do at the rate of a 1990's modem speed these days. USB over midi.. turns midi into a polled protocol.. So the USB host (typically the computer) has to ask "do you have anything for me" before the remote will send. If the USB host gets busy doing other things or there is a lot of things on the USB bus to get polled, you can get delays. For its age midi is still a great protocol for music * [https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/midi10.pdf USBIF's "USB Device Class Definition for MIDI Devices" document, version 1.0 from Nov 1, 1999] * [https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/USB%20MIDI%20v2_0.pdf MIDI v2.0 from 2020 which AROS still needs, adds support for MIDI 2.0, MIDI-CI, and Universal MIDI Packet] Nearly all synthesizers now use the 16 MIDI channels available on a MIDI bus in one instrument alone, requiring multiple MIDI busses in a typical setup with more than one MIDI instrument. In addition, by handling multiple "virtual" cables, USB offers a solution to go beyond MIDI's 16-channel limit. MIDI data is transferred over USB using 32-bit USB-MIDI Event Packets. These packets provide an efficient method to transfer multiple MIDI streams with fixed length messages. The 32-bit USB-MIDI Event Packet allows multiple "virtual MIDI cables" routed over the same USB endpoint. This approach minimizes the number of required endpoints. It also makes parsing MIDI events easier by packetizing the separate bytes of a MIDI event into one parsed USB-MIDI event. {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="25%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="5%" |Product ID ! width="5%" |Revision ! width="15%" |CAMD ! width="30%" |Opinion |- | <!--Description-->Computer | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{Yes|which acts as USB midi host to get all usb devices talking together}} |- | <!--Description-->Hobbytronics usb host standalone | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description-->bomebox | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description-->[https://neuma.studio/rpi-as-midi-host/ raspberry pi] with several midi interface(s) and linux scripting | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{unk| }} |- | <!--Description-->Kenton MIDI USB Host mk3 | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description--> | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |- | <!--Description--> | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD--> | <!--Opinion-->{{N/A|untested}} |} {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="25%" | Description ! width="5%" |Vendor ID ! width="5%" |Product ID ! width="5%" |Revision ! width="15%" |CAMD ! width="30%" |Opinion |- | <!--Description-->Acorn Instruments Masterkey 49 device | <!--Vendor ID--> | <!--Product ID--> | <!--Revision--> | <!--CAMD-->{{unk| }} | <!--Opinion-->2018 untested usb powered 5V regulated -

The inventors, Kakehashi and Smith finally received a Technical Grammy Award in 2013 for their work. The MIDI files that contained just the note data, velocity and timing meant you could transfer an entire studio session from one place to another on one floppy disk and it could control all the synths and drum samplers. Pass-thru meant that one computer could run an entire bands worth of instruments. It's bulletproof too. MIDI never goes wrong, it's always a bug in software that causes any issue - you can absolutely rely on it to go gigging with, take your synths, controllers and computers and not crash an entire gig at your 100,000 person venue. The MIDI hardware specification is very simple (voltage, polarity, screening, protection and a fast enough opto-isolator), it assumes that the data it sends and receives between MIDI devices is to the MIDI data standard and just passes it on. The microprocessor in the hardware does all the work. The minimum for a computer/MIDI interface is that it meets the MIDI hardware specification. It is attached to the computer bus and handles the electrical conversions required. To meet the MIDI hardware specification, to be class compliant as a USB device all it has to do is report itself properly when plugged in. The other half of the equation is the MIDI data standard, and for a computer MIDI interface the main issue is the speed of data transmission. The bus speed of the computer is faster than the speed of the MIDI standard so it can generate and send MIDI data faster than a MIDI device can receive it. The MIDI standards have nothing to say on that bottleneck at all. MIDI was designed to be very simple and very open, it just defines a standard for the messages and leaves it up to manufacturers to implement them in the way they want. That's what makes it so powerful a tool, and also what makes it so confusing and frustrating at times. For midi, the hardware/software combination at various connection points handles the translation to/from midi (or other protocols). Drivers would be needed for midi, including clock and SysEx signal (actually claiming to handle ALL midi quirks transparently All the important MIDI data types can be sent (CC, NRPN, RPN, MMC, Note On/Off, program change) There is no official way to solve the data bottleneck. Early software sequencers and librarians tried to solve it by having an option to buffer SYSEX data in software and transmit it at the MIDI data rate. The downside is that hogs the bus and can hit computer performance. Interface manufacturers would add a hardware buffer which would take all the MIDI data from the PC bus and feed it into the MIDI at the slower data rate, but that added cost and created timing issues. Things have moved on since then, but the principles remain the same. You can buffer in the hardware or in software, whether that is in the application or the interface driver. SYSEX will work perfectly well with that budget cable if your software handles the buffering. And while the cables with hardware buffers make SYSEX easier, they still have potential problems because of the limitations of the MIDI data rate. Your MIDI clock doesn't like being interrupted with a big program dump The serial / parallel ports were a direct connection, so faster. Now, everything in the computer is virtual and the only thing connected to the hardware is the kernel, hence everything is by default bottlenecked and jittery, regardless of which connection. So by the time the interface gets the information it's already too late. Ethernet network cable to transport MIDI over large distances, connect 2 MIDI In and 2 MIDI Out ports to patch, remap, filter and merge MIDI flows on a fine channel basis for tight MIDI throughput, latency and jitter Possibilities for DAWs of the future including a kind of sync reference for timing reference which an interface could sync to, hence all the timings then would be locked between the grid on the DAW screen and the MIDI info. Preemptible, low latency and accuracy are essential for good communication. One of the first things you need to do, is make sure your MIDI software sets the interface to the same MIDI channel as your keyboard (usually 1) Do you want to send just your master keyboard to other synths or to be able to use any keyboard with any synth? 1st option is relatively simple. Just need to send midi from your master keyboard into a midi splitter that redistributes the signal onto your synths. Each synth will be set up to receive midi on a specific channel so the only challenge is to find a way to select to which channel you are sending midi. Some master keyboards can do that although not many that have a dedicated knob or switch on the panel and most require a bit of menu diving. Could use a midi box that offers channel selection but usually this is not very workflow friendly. The software route would require using the mouse. 2nd option is a bit more complex but superior workflow by sending midi messages into a merge box, from there into a hardware sequencer that allows to select midi channel, then on to a midi interface that distributes the signal to the synths. Master keyboard MIDI-in to computer. External hardware sampler MIDI-out from computer. Audio-out from sampler to audio-in on computer/device.

While MIDI 1.0 by itself provides a communication protocol which ensures that different instruments can interoperate at a fundamental level e.g sound modules. GM goes further in two ways. First, GM requires that all compliant MIDI instruments meet a certain minimal set of features, such as being able to play at least 24 notes simultaneously (polyphony). Second, GM attaches specific interpretations to many parameters and control messages which were left unspecified in the MIDI 1.0 specification. A minimum of 128 MIDI Program Numbers (conforming to the GM 1 Instrument Patch Map) and 47 percussion sounds (conforming to the GM 1 Percussion Key Map). Support for controller number 1, 7, 10, 11, 64, 100, 101, 121 and 123; support for channel pressure and pitch bend controllers. General MIDI Level 2 or GM2 is a specification for synthesizers which defines several requirements beyond the MIDI standard and is based on General MIDI (GM) and Roland GS extensions. It was adopted in 1999 by the MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA). * Number of Notes: 32 simultaneous notes * MIDI Channels: 16 * Simultaneous Melodic Instruments – up to 16 (all Channels) * Simultaneous Percussion Kits – up to 2 (Channel 10/11) Program and bank change events General MIDI 2 compatible synthesizers access all of the 256 instruments by setting cc#0 (Bank Select MSB) to 121 and using cc#32 (Bank Select LSB) to select the variation bank before a Program Change. Variation bank 0 contains the full GM (General MIDI 1) sound set. Variations using other bank numbers are new to General MIDI 2, and correspond to variation sounds introduced in Roland GS.

They added clock selection and control, timing domains and others. Part of the changes included changing many of the descriptors that an audio device uses to describe itself to the machine. PsdErrorlog/PsdDevlister? The AHI driver generated only supports mono/stereo at any bit rates between 8 and 32 bit per sample, but not multichannel modes and only rates up to 65KHz (because AHI uses a 16-bit word for frequencies). If the soundcard does not offer such a PCM 8-32 bit mode at frequencies lower than 65 KHz, there's nothing much that can be done about it on the computer side other than revising and expanding the AHI standard. Most cheap USB soundcards do though. AHI does not support six channel playback. It only supports mono, stereo and multichannel (8 channels). Due to the multichannel mode not being used by any application so far, the usbaudio.class does not support multichannel playback, especially not "upchannelling" stereo to six or more channels. If this USB device does not support a two channel mode, you can't use it under AHI.

Well, those companies are using the same driver framework because all of those interfaces use the same microprocessor/firmware architecture to communicate with the USB bus. Just like almost all FireWire audio interfaces use the same TC Dice or BridgeCo chipsets. Usually it does not make sense for companies to develop their own USB1.1/USB2/FW framework for a product they are going to sell for <$500. However, that isn't the end of the story. The companies who develop audio interfaces implement different features into their devices and must update the driver and firmware to accommodate those features. That is where things can go wrong. Sometimes there is miss-communication about how things are coded, sometimes the developer who started a project leaves without transferring his knowledge to his successor, etc. You have to keep in mind that there are no "big" computer audio companies. Even the companies that seem big in the scale of the market, probably have fewer employees than you'd think. A very well made interface that is designed from scratch from the ground up would be a very expensive device, regardless of whether it's USB, FW, PCIe or whatever. Round-trip latency is the sum of the following: <pre> ASIO input buffer ASIO output buffer A/D D/A converter latency The driver's hidden safety buffer </pre> At a 64-sample ASIO buffer size/44.1k, Tascam units yield ~18ms total round-trip latency. Typical USB audio interfaces use a large hidden safety buffer. This helps ensure glitch-free playback... even under less than ideal circumstances. But... this comes at the expense of much higher round-trip latency. Short of doubling the sample-rate, there's no means of mitigating the higher round-trip latency. If you have no plans of ever monitoring in realtime thru software based EFX/processing (ie: playing/monitoring DI bass thru an AmpSim plugin as you're playing), then this may not matter to you. If you want the ability this play/monitor in realtime thru software based EFX/processing, make sure to get an audio interface that yields low round-trip latency. As a point of reference the best PCI/e audio interfaces yield about 5ms total round-trip latency at a 64-sample ASIO buffer size/44.1k The best Firewire and USB units yield 5.5-5.6ms total round-trip latency at those same settings. Typical USB and Firewire units (that use a large hidden safety buffer) yield 12-18ms total round-trip latency at those same settings. Anything above ~6ms starts to feel sluggish. Anything above ~10ms feels like playing thru molasses.

It's very popular, especially in festive occasions. Exactly what goes into it depends upon what's available at the fishmonger's, but here's a suggestion. Prep Time: 35 minutes Cook Time: 25 minutes Ingredients: *1 1/4 pounds (500 g) fresh live clams *1 1/4 pounds (500 g) fresh mussels *12 ounces (300 g) shelled shrimp tails (you can also use other crustaceans, or a mixture of crustaceans) *2-3 ripe plum tomatoes *A bunch parsley *Basil *1 clove garlic *Olive Oil *A shredded hot pepper (optional) *Salt & pepper *3/4 pound (350 g) spaghetti Preparation: Scrub the shells of the clams and mussels. Shell the shrimp tails. Salt a pot of water for the spaghetti and set it to boil. In the meantime, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a broad skillet, with a crushed clove of garlic. When the garlic has browned, remove it and discard it, then add the clams and mussels. Cover and cook over a brisk flame, shaking the pan every now and then, until the shellfish have opened. Turn off the flame and let them cool slightly, then remove and discard the shells of some of them (but not all -- NOTE: do not try to open any that failed to open when heated. Discard them; they were already dead and eating them could make you quite sick.). While doing this make sure the clam broth remains in the skillet. Next, finely mince a second clove of garlic and sauté it in 3 tablespoons of oil, in a broad skillet. When it has turned light gold, slice the tomatoes directly into the pan. Shred six basil leaves into the pan too, a touch of salt, the hot pepper if you're using it, and simmer the sauce for ten minutes. In the meantime strain the clam juices through a fine cloth. Once ten minutes is up, stir in all the shellfish and a half cup of the strained clam juice, and simmer for five minutes more. While the sauce is simmering, add the remaining clam juice to the pasta water, which should be boiling by now, and cook the spaghetti. Transfer the cooked spaghetti to a bowl, dribble a couple of tablespoons of oil over them, add a turn of freshly ground pepper, about 20 parsley leaves (either whole or shredded) and toss. Stir in the sauce and serve at once, with a crisp white wine. 3r2wp3hvzlfdwxngshvcbug8hoj8l55 0 237399 4681559 4680714 2026-11-11T09:54:15Z Jeff1138 301139 4681559 wikitext text/x-wiki ==Introduction== [[#Graphical Image Editing Art]] [[#Office Application]] [[#Audio]] [[#Misc Application]] [[#Games & Emulation]] [[#Application Guides]] [[#top|...to the top]] [[#top|...to the top]] Most apps can be opened on the Workbench (aka publicscreen pubscreen) which is the default display option but can offer a custom one set to your configurations (aka custom screen mode promotion).

This latest version has a good support for many/most web sites, even YouTube web page now works. [https://www.bilibili.tv/en/search untested] This improved compatibility comes at the expense of higher RAM usage (now 1GB RAM is the absolute minimum). Also, keep in mind that the lack of a JIT (Just-In-Time) JS compiler on the 32 bit version, makes the web surfing a bit slow. Only the 64 bit version of OWB 2.0 will have JIT enabled, thus benefitting of more speed.

Please read more on this [http://www.freelists.org/list/simplemail-usr User list] GMail Be sure to activate the pop3 usage in your gmail account setup / configuration first. pop3: pop.gmail.com Use SSL: Yes Port: 995 smtp: smtp.gmail.com (with authentication) Use Authentication: Yes Use SSL: Yes Port: 465 or 587 Hotmail/MSN/outlook/Microsoft Mail mid-2017, all outlook.com accounts will be migrated to Office 365 / Exchange Most users are currently on POP which does not allow showing folders and many other features (technical limitations of POP3). With Microsoft IMAP you will get folders, sync read/unread, and show flags. You still won't get push though, as Microsoft has not turned on the IMAP Idle command as at Sept 2013. If you want to try it, you need to first remove (you can't edit) your pop account (long-press the account on the accounts screen, delete account). Then set it up this way: 1. Email/Password 2.

Introducing instead a yearly payment feature, allowing users POP3 and IMAP server support, along with such benefits as larger file attachment sizes and no adverts. Sorry to see Yahoo leaving its users to cough up for the privilege of accessing their mail. Understandable, when competing against rivals such as Gmail and Hotmail who hold a large majority of users and were hacked in 2014 as well.

You will also have to make sure that “SSL” is enabled and use 465 for port. you must also enable “authentication” for this to work. ====YAM Yet Another Mailer==== YAM does not support SSL and most mail providers have now switched to encrypted SMTP/POP3 connections This email client is POP3 only if the SSL library is available [http://www.freelists.org/list/yam YAM Freelists] One of the downsides of using a POP3 mailer unfortunately - you have to set an option not to delete the mail if you want it left on the server. IMAP keeps all the emails on the server. Possible issues Sending mail issues is probably a matter of using your ISP's SMTP server, though it could also be an SSL issue. getting a "Couldn't initialise TLSv1 / SSL error Use of on-line e-mail accounts with this email client is not possible as it lacks the OpenSSL AmiSSl v3 compatible library GMail Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com Use SSL: Yes Port: 995 Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication) Use Authentication: Yes Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL) Port: 465 or 587 Account Name: your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com') Email Address: your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com) Password: your Gmail password Anyway, the SMTP is pop.gmail.com port 465 and it uses SSLLv3 Authentication.

Cannot be done since 2002 unless the customer pays Yahoo a monthly fee to have access to SMTP and POP3 Microsoft Outlook Express Mail 1. Get the files to your PC. By whatever method get the files off your Amiga onto your PC. In the YAM folder you have a number of different folders, one for each of your folders in YAM. Inside that is a file usually some numbers such as 332423.283. YAM created a new file for every single email you received. 2. Open up a brand new Outlook Express. Just configure the account to use 127.0.0.1 as mail servers. It doesn't really matter. You will need to manually create any subfolders you used in YAM. 3. You will need to do a mass rename on all your email files from YAM. Just add a .eml to the end of it. Amazing how PCs still rely mostly on the file name so it knows what sort of file it is rather than just looking at it! There are a number of multiple renamers online to download and free too. 4. Go into each of your folders, inbox, sent items etc. And do a select all then drag the files into Outlook Express (to the relevant folder obviously) Amazingly the file format that YAM used is very compatible with .eml standard and viola your emails appear. With correct dates and working attachments. 5. If you want your email into Microsoft Outlook. Open that up and create a new profile and a new blank PST file. Then go into File Import and choose to import from Outlook Express. And the mail will go into there. And viola.. you have your old email from your Amiga in a more modern day format. ===FTP=== Magellan has a great FTP module. It allows transferring files from/to a FTP server over the Internet or the local network and, even if FTP is perceived as a "thing of the past", its usability is all inside the client. The FTP thing has a nice side effect too, since every Icaros machine can be a FTP server as well, and our files can be easily transferred from an Icaros machine to another with a little configuration effort. First of all, we need to know the 'server' IP address. Server is the Icaros machine with the file we are about to download on another Icaros machine, that we're going to call 'client'. To do that, move on the server machine and 1) run Prefs/Services to be sure "FTP file transfer" is enabled (if not, enable it and restart Icaros); 2) run a shell and enter this command: ifconfig -a Make a note of the IP address for the network interface used by the local area network. For cabled devices, it usually is net0:. Now go on the client machine and run Magellan: Perform these actions: 1) click on FTP; 2) click on ADDRESS BOOK; 3) click on "New". You can now add a new entry for your Icaros server machine: 1) Choose a name for your server, in order to spot it immediately in the address book. Enter the IP address you got before. 2) click on Custom Options: 1) go to Miscellaneous in the left menu; 2) Ensure "Passive Transfers" is NOT selected; 3) click on Use. We need to deactivate Passive Transfers because YAFS, the FTP server included in Icaros, only allows active transfers at the current stage. Now, we can finally connect to our new file source: 1) Look into the address book for the newly introduced server, be sure that name and IP address are right, and 2) click on Connect. A new lister with server's "MyWorkspace" contents will appear. You can now transfer files over the network choosing a destination among your local (client's) volumes. Can be adapted to any FTP client on any platform of your choice, just be sure your client allows Active Transfers as well. ===IRC Internet Relay Chat=== Jabberwocky is ideal for one-to-one social media communication, use IRC if you require one to many. Just type a message in ''lowercase''' letters and it will be posted to all in the [ AROS irc channel]. Please do not use UPPER CASE as it is a sign of SHOUTING which is annoying. Other things to type in - replace <message> with a line of text and <nick> with a person's name <pre> /help /list /who /whois <nick> /msg <nick> <message> /query <nick> <message>s /query /away <message> /away /quit <going away message> </pre> [http://irchelp.org/irchelp/new2irc.html#smiley Intro guide here].

Issue the command /me <text> where <text> is the text that should follow your nickname. Example: /me slaps ajk around a bit with a large trout /nick <newNick> /nickserv register <password> <email address> /ns instead of /nickserv, while others might need /msg nickserv /nickserv identify <password> Alternatives: /ns identify <password> /msg nickserv identify <password> ==== IRC WookieChat ==== WookieChat is the most complete internet client for communication across the IRC Network.

Though ideally, choose a nickname and password for frequent use of irc. ====IRC and XMPP Jabberwocky==== Servers are setup and close down at random You sign up to a server that someone else has setup and access chat services through them. The two ways to access chat from jabberwocky <pre > Jabberwocky -> Server -> XMPP -> open and ad-free Jabberwocky -> Server -> Transports (Gateways) -> Proprietary closed systems </pre > The Jabber.org service connects with all IM services that use XMPP, the open standard for instant messaging and presence over the Internet. The services we connect with include Google Talk (closed), Live Journal Talk, Nimbuzz, Ovi, and thousands more. However, you can not connect from Jabber.org to proprietary services like AIM, ICQ, MSN, Skype, or Yahoo because they don’t yet use XMPP components (XEP-0114) '''but''' you can use Jabber.com's servers and IM gateways (MSN, ICQ, Yahoo etc.) instead. The best way to use jabberwocky is in conjunction with a public jabber server with '''transports''' to your favorite services, like gtalk, Facebook, yahoo, ICQ, AIM, etc. You have to register with one of the servers, [https://list.jabber.at/ this list] or [http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ another list], [http://xmpp.net/ this security XMPP list], Unfortunately jabberwocky can only connect to one server at a time so it is best to check what services each server offers. If you set it up with separate Facebook and google talk accounts, for example, sometimes you'll only get one or the other. Jabberwocky open a window where the Jabber server part is typed in as well as your Nickname and Password. Jabber ID (JID) identifies you to the server and other users. Once registered the next step is to goto Jabberwocky's "Windows" menu and select the "Agents" option. The "Agents List" window will open. Roster (contacts list) [http://search.wensley.org.uk/ Chatrooms] (MUC) are available File Transfer - can send and receive files through the Jabber service but not with other services like IRC, ICQ, AIM or Yahoo. All you need is an installed webbrowser and OpenURL. Clickable URLs - The message window uses Mailtext.mcc and you can set a URL action in the MUI mailtext prefs like SYS:Utils/OpenURL %s NEWWIN. There is no consistent Skype like (H.323 VoIP) video conferencing available over Jabber. The move from xmpp to Jingle should help but no support on any amiga-like systems at the moment. [http://aminet.net/package/dev/src/AmiPhoneSrc192 AmiPhone] and [http://www.lysator.liu.se/%28frame,faq,nobg,useframes%29/ahi/v4-site/ Speak Freely] was an early attempt voice only contact. SIP and Asterisk are other PBX options. Facebook If you're using the XMPP transport provided by Facebook themselves, chat.facebook.com, it looks like they're now requiring SSL transport. This means jabberwocky method below will no longer work. The best thing to do is to create an ID on a public jabber server which has a Facebook gateway. <pre > 1. launch jabberwocky 2. if the login window doesn't appear on launch, select 'account' from the jabberwocky menu 3. your jabber ID will be user@chat.facebook.com where user is your user ID 4. your password is your normal facebook password 5. to save this for next time, click the popup gadget next to the ID field 6. click the 'add' button 7. click the 'close' button 8. click the 'connect' button </pre > you're done. you can also click the 'save as default account' button if you want. jabberwocky configured to auto-connect when launching the program, but you can configure as you like. there is amigaguide documentation included with jabberwocky.

Most of the ICQ Jabber Transports still use an older ICQ protocol. You can only talk one-way to StriCQ using the older Transports. Only the newer ICQv7 Transport lets you talk both ways to StriCQ. Look at the server lists in the first section to check. Register on a Jabber server, e.g. this one works: http://www.jabber.de/ Then login into Jabberwocky with the following login data e.g. xxx@jabber.de / Password: xxx Now add your ICQ account under the window->Agents->"Register". Now Jabberwocky connects via the Jabber.de server with your ICQ account. Yahoo Messenger although yahoo! does not use xmpp protocol, you should be able to use the transport methods to gain access and post your replies MSN early months of 2013 Microsoft will ditch MSN Messenger client and force everyone to use Skype...but MSN protocol and servers will keep working as usual for quite a long time.... Occasionally the Messenger servers have been experiencing problems signing in. You may need to sign in at www.outlook.com and then try again. It may also take multiple tries to sign in. (This also affects you if you’re using Skype.) You have to check each servers' Agents List to see what transports (MSN protocol, ICQ protocol, etc.) are supported or use the list address' provided in the section above. Then register with each transport (IRC, MSN, ICQ, etc.) to which you need access. After registering you can Connect to start chatting. msn.jabber.com/registered should appear in the window. From this [http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/amiga-jabberwocky/message/1378 JW group] guide which helps with this process in a clear, step by step procedure. 1. Sign up on MSN's site for a passport account. This typically involves getting a Hotmail address. 2. Log on to the Jabber server of your choice and do the following: * Select the "Windows/Agents" menu option in Jabberwocky. * Select the MSN Agent from the list presented by the server. * Click the Register button to open a new window asking for: **Username = passort account email address, typically your hotmail address. **Nick = Screen name to be shown to anyone you add to your buddy list. **Password = Password for your passport account/hotmail address. * Click the Register button at the bottom of the new window. 3. If all goes well, you will see the MSN Gateway added to your buddy list. If not, repeat part 2 on another server. Some servers may show MSN in their list of available agents, but have not updated their software for the latest protocols used by MSN. 4. Once you are registered, you can now add people to your buddy list. Note that you need to include the '''msn.''' ahead of the servername so that it knows what gateway agent to use. Some servers may use a slight variation and require '''msg.gate.''' before the server name, so try both to see what works. If my friend's msn was amiga@hotmail.co.uk and my jabber server was @jabber.meta.net.nz.. then amiga'''%'''hotmail.com@'''msn.'''jabber.meta.net.nz or another the trick to import MSN contacts is that you don't type the hotmail URL but the passport URL... e.g. Instead of: goodvibe%hotmail.com@msn.jabber.com You type: goodvibe%passport.com@msn.jabber.com And the thing about importing contacts I'm afraid you'll have to do it by hand, one at the time... Google Talk any XMPP server will work, but you have to add your contacts manually. a google talk user is typically either @gmail.com or @talk.google.com. a true gtalk transport is nice because it brings your contacts to you and (can) also support file transfers to/from google talk users. implement Jingle a set of extensions to the IETF's Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) support ended early 2014 as Google moved to Google+ Hangouts which uses it own proprietary format ===Video Player MPlayer=== Many of the menu features (such as doubling) do not work with the current version of mplayer but using 4:3 mplayer -vf scale=800:600 file.avi 16:9 mplayer -vf scale=854:480 file.avi if you want gui use; mplayer -gui 1 <other params> file.avi <pre > stack 1000000 ; using AspireOS 1.xx ; copy FROM SYS:Extras/Multimedia/MPlayer/ TO RAM:MPlayer ALL CLONE > Nil: ; using Icaros Desktop 1.x ; copy FROM SYS:Tools/MPlayer/ TO RAM:MPlayer ALL CLONE > Nil: ; using Icaros Desktop 2.x ; copy FROM SYS:Utilities/MPlayer/ TO RAM:MPlayer ALL CLONE > Nil: cd RAM:MPlayer run MPlayer -gui > Nil: ;run MPlayer -gui -ao ahi_dev -playlist http://www.radio-paralax.de/listen.pls > Nil: </pre > $ mplayer rtsp://127.0.0.1:554/sample_300kbit.mp4 MPlayer supports multicast streaming, and rtp/rtsp protocols (it might require [http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/ live555 library] to work with some streams).

For photojournalism, documentary, and event coverage, minimal touching is recommended. Stick to Camera Raw for such shots, and limit changes to level adjustment, sharpness, noise reduction, and white balance correction. For fashion or portrait shoots, a large amount of adjustment is allowed and usually ends up far from the original. Skin smoothing, blemish removal, eye touch-ups, etc. are common. Might alter the background a bit to emphasize the subject. Product photography usually requires a lot of sharpening, spot removal, and focus stacking. For landscape shots, best results are achieved by doing the maximum amount of preparation before/while taking the shot. No amount of processing can match timing, proper lighting, correct gear, optimal settings, etc. Excessive post-processing might give you a dramatic shot but best avoided in the long term. * White Balance - Left Amiga or F12 and K and under "Misc color effects" tab with a pull down for White Balance - color temperature also known as AKA tint (movies) or tones (painting) - warm temp raise red reduce green blue - cool raise blue lower red green * Exposure - exposure compensation, highlight/shadow recovery * Noise Reduction - during RAW development or using external software * Lens Corrections - distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberrations * Detail - capture sharpening and local contrast enhancement * Contrast - black point, levels (sliders) and curves tools (F12 and K) * Framing - straighten () and crop (F12 and F) * Refinements - color adjustments and selective enhancements - Left Amiga or F12 and K for RGB and YUV histogram tabs - * Resizing - enlarge for a print or downsize for the web or email (F12 and D) * Output Sharpening - customized for your subject matter and print/screen size White Balance - F12 and K scan your image for a shade which was meant to be white (neutral with each RGB value being equal) like paper or plastic which is in the same light as the subject of the picture.

File formats like .psd (Photoshop file has layers, masks etc. contains edited sensor data. The original sensor data is no longer available) .xcf .raw .hdr Image Picture Formats * low dynamic range (JPEG, PNG, TIFF 8-bit), 16-bit (PPM, TIFF), typically as a 16-bit TIFF in either ProPhoto or AdobeRGB colorspace - TIFF files are also fairly universal – although, if they contain proprietary data, such as Photoshop Adjustment Layers or Smart Filters, making them proprietary. * linear high dynamic range (HDR) images (PFM, [http://www.openexr.com/ ILM .EXR], jpg, [http://aminet.net/util/dtype cr2] (canon tiff based), hdr, NEF, CRW, ARW, MRW, ORF, RAF (Fuji), PEF, DCR, SRF, ERF, DNG files are RAW converted to an Adobe proprietary format - a container that can embed the raw file as well as the information needed to open it) An old version of [http://archives.aros-exec.org/index.php?function=browse&cat=graphics/convert dcraw] There is no single RAW file format. Each camera manufacturer has one or more unique RAW formats. RAW files contain the brightness levels data captured by the camera sensor. This data cannot be modified. A second smaller file, separate XML file, or within a database with instructions for the RAW processor to change exposure, saturation etc. The extra data can be changed but the original sensor data is still there. RAW is technically least compatible. A raw file is high-bit (usually 12 or 14 bits of information) but a camera-generated TIFF file will be usually converted by the camera (compressed, downsampled) to 8 bits. The raw file has no embedded color balance or color space, but the TIFF has both. These three things (smaller bit depth, embedded color balance, and embedded color space) make it so that the TIFF will lose quality more quickly with image adjustments than the raw file. The camera-generated TIFF image is much more like a camera processed JPEG than a raw file. A strong advantage goes to the raw file. The power of RAW files, such as the ability to set any color temperature non-destructively and will contain more tonal values. The principle of preserving the maximum amount of information to as late as possible in the process. The final conversion - which will always effectively represent a "downsampling" - should prevent as much loss as possible. Once you save it as TIFF, you throw away some of that data irretrievably. When saving in the lossy JPEG format, you get tremendous file size savings, but you've irreversibly thrown away a lot of image data. As long as you have the RAW file, original or otherwise, you have access to all of the image data as captured.

If not, you're not balanced. If you have sky you'll see the blue channel further off to the right. RGB is best one to change colours. These elements RGB is a 3-channel format containing data for Red, Green, and Blue in your photo scale between 0 and 255. The area in a picture that appears to be brighter/whiter contains more red color as compared to the area which is relatively darker. Similarly in the green channel the area that appears to be darker contains less amount of green color as compared to the area that appears to be brighter. Similarly in the blue channel the area appears to be darker contains less amount of blue color as compared to the area that appears to be brighter. Brightness luminance histogram also matches the green histogram more than any other color - human eye interprets green better e.g. RGB rough ratio 15/55/30% RGBA (RGB+A, A means alpha channel) . The alpha channel is used for "alpha compositing", which can mostly be associated as "opacity". AROS deals in RGB with two digits for every color (red, green, blue), in ARGB you have two additional hex digits for the alpha channel. The shadows are represented by the left third of the graph. The highlights are represented by the right third. And the midtones are, of course, in the middle. The higher the black peaks in the graph, the more pixels are concentrated in that tonal range (total black area). By moving the black endpoint, which identifies the shadows (darkness) and a white light endpoint (brightness) up and down either sides of the graph, colors are adjusted based on these points. By dragging the central one, can increased the midtones and control the contrast, raise shadows levels, clip or softly eliminate unsafe levels, alter gamma, etc... in a way that is much more precise and creative . RGB Curves * Move left endpoint (black point) up or right endpoint (white point) up brightens * Move left endpoint down or right endpoint down darkens Color Curves * Dragging up on the Red Curve increases the intensity of the reds in the image but * Dragging down on the Red Curve decreases the intensity of the reds and thus increases the apparent intensity of its complimentary color, cyan. Green’s complimentary color is magenta, and blue’s is yellow. <pre> Red <-> Cyan Green <->Magenta Blue <->Yellow </pre> YUV Best option to analyse and pull out statistical elements of any picture (i.e. separate luminance data from color data). The line in Y luma tone box represents the brightness of the image with the point in the bottom left been black, and the point in the top right as white. A low-contrast image has a concentrated clump of values nearer to the center of the graph. By comparison, a high-contrast image has a wider distribution of values across the entire width of the Histogram. A histogram that is skewed to the right would indicate a picture that is a bit overexposed because most of the color data is on the lighter side (increase exposure with higher value F), while a histogram with the curve on the left shows a picture that is underexposed. This is good information to have when using post-processing software because it shows you not only where the color data exists for a given picture, but also where any data has been clipped (extremes on edges of either side): that is, it does not exist and, therefore, cannot be edited. By dragging the endpoints of the line and as well as the central one, can increased the dark/shadows, midtones and light/bright parts and control the contrast, raise shadows levels, clip or softly eliminate unsafe levels, alter gamma, etc... in a way that is much more precise and creative . The U and V chroma parts show color difference components of the image. It’s useful for checking whether or not the overall chroma is too high, and also whether it’s being limited too much Can be used to create a negative image but also With U (Cb), the higher value you are, the more you're on the blue primary color. If you go to the low values then you're on blue complementary color, i.e. yellow. With V (Cr), this is the same principle but with Red and Cyan. e.g. If you push U full blue and V full red, you get magenta. If you push U full yellow and V full Cyan then you get green. YUV simultaneously adds to one side of the color equation while subtracting from the other. using YUV to do color correction can be very problematic because each curve alters the result of each other: the mutual influence between U and V often makes things tricky. You may also be careful in what you do to avoid the raise of noise (which happens very easily). Best results are obtained with little adjustments sunset that looks uninspiring and needs some color pop especially for the rays over the hill, a subtle contrast raise while setting luma values back to the legal range without hard clipping. ====Lunapaint==== Pixel based drawing app with onion-skin animation function Blocking, Shading, Coloring, adding detail <pre> b BRUSH e ERASER alt eyedropper v layer tool z ZOOM / MAGNIFY < > n spc panning m marque q lasso w same color selection / region </pre> <pre> , LM RM v V f filter F . size p , pick color [] last / next color </pre> There is not much missing in Lunapaint to be as good as FlipBook and then you have to take into account that Flipbook is considered to be amongst the best and easiest to use animation software out there. Ok to be honest Flipbook has some nice features that require more heavy work but those aren't so much needed right away, things like camera effects, sound, smart fill, export to different movie file formats etc. Tried Flipbook with my tablet and compared it to Luna. The feeling is the same when sketching. LunaPaint is very responsive/fluent to draw with. Just as Flipbook is, and that responsiveness is something its users have mentioned as one of the positive sides of said software. author was learning MUI.

I can choose left, center, or right aligned by either changing the integer in the second column from 0 (left) to 1 or 2 (center, or right). # The third integer in the row specifies fontcolor. For instance, 0 is black, but blue is 1 and Green3 is 13. # The sixth integer in the bottom row specifies fontface. 0 is Times-Roman, but 16 is Helvetica (a MATLAB default). # The seventh number is fontsize. 12 represents a 12pt fontsize. Changing the fontsize of an item really is as easy as changing that number to 20. # The next number is the counter-clockwise angle of the text. Notice that I have changed the angle to .7854 (pi/4 rounded to four digits=45 degrees). # twelfth number is the position according to the standard “x-axis” in Xfig units from the left. Note that 1200 Xfig units is equivalent to once inch. # thirteenth number is the “y-position” from the top using the same unit convention as before. * The nested text string is what you entered into the textbox. * The “01″ present at the end of that line in the .fig file is the closing tag. For instance, a change to \100 appends a @ symbol at the end of the period of that sentence. ; Just to note there are no layers, no 3d functions, no shading, no transparency, no animation [[#top|...to the top]] ===Audio=== # AHI uses linear panning/balance, which means that in the center, you will get -6dB. If an app uses panning, this is what you will get. Note that apps like Audio Evolution need panning, so they will have this problem. # When using AHI Hifi modes, mixing is done in 32-bit and sent as 32-bit data to the driver. The Envy24HT driver uses that to output at 24-bit (always). # For the Envy24/Envy24HT, I've made 16-bit and 24-bit inputs (called Line-in 16-bit, Line-in 24-bit etc.). There is unfortunately no app that can handle 24-bit recording. ====Music Mods==== Digital module (mods) trackers are music creation software using samples and sometimes soundfonts, audio plugins (VST, AU or RTAS), MIDI. Generally, MODs are similar to MIDI in that they contain note on/off and other sequence messages that control the mod player. Unlike (most) midi files, however, they also contain sound samples that the sequence information actually plays. MOD files can have many channels (classic amiga mods have 4, corresponding to the inbuilt sound channels), but unlike MIDI, each channel can typically play only one note at once. However, since that note might be a sample of a chord, a drumloop or other complex sound, this is not as limiting as it sounds. Like MIDI, notes will play indefinitely if they're not instructed to end. Most trackers record this information automatically if you play your music in live. If you're using manual note entry, you can enter a note-off command with a keyboard shortcut - usually Caps Lock. In fact when considering file size MOD is not always the best option. Even a dummy song wastes few kilobytes for nothing when a simple SID tune could be few hundreds bytes and not bigger than 64kB. AHX is another small format, AHX tunes are never larger than 64kB excluding comments.

A Track of Note(s) can be collected into a Pattern (section of a song) and these can be given Order to create the whole song. Patience (notes have to be entered one at a time) or playing the bassline on a midi controller (faster - see midi section above). Best approach is to wait until a melody popped into your head. *Up-tempo means the track should be reasonably fast, but not super-fast. *Groovy and funky imply the track should have some sort of "swing" feel, with plenty of syncopation or off beat emphasis and a recognizable, melodic bass line. *Sweet and happy mean upbeat melodies, a major key and avoiding harsh sounds. *Moody - minor key First, create a quick bass sound, which is basically a sine wave, but can be hand drawn for a little more variance. It could also work for the melody part, too. This is usually a bass guitar or some kind of synthesizer bass. The bass line is often forgotten by inexperienced composers, but it plays an important role in a musical piece. Together with the rhythm section the bass line forms the groove of a song. It's the glue between the rhythm section and the melodic layer of a song. The drums are just pink noise samples, played at different frequencies to get a slightly different sound for the kick, snare, and hihats. Instruments that fall into the rhythm category are bass drums, snares, hi-hats, toms, cymbals, congas, tambourines, shakers, etc. Any percussive instrument can be used to form part of the rhythm section. The lead is the instrument that plays the main melody, on top of the chords. There are many instruments that can play a lead section, like a guitar, a piano, a saxophone or a flute. The list is almost endless. There is a lot of overlap with instruments that play chords. Often in one piece an instrument serves both roles. The lead melody is often played at a higher pitch than the chords. Listened back to what was produced so far, and a counter-melody can be imagined, which can be added with a triangle wave. To give the ends of phrases some life, you can add a solo part with a crunchy synth. By hitting random notes in the key of G, then edited a few of them. For the climax of the song, filled out the texture with a gentle high-pitch pad… …and a grungy bass synth. The arrow at A points at the pattern order list. As you see, the patterns don't have to be in numerical order. This song starts with pattern "00", then pattern "02", then "03", then "01", etcetera. Patterns may be repeated throughout a song. The B arrow points at the song title. Below it are the global BPM and speed parameters. These determine the tempo of the song, unless the tempo is altered through effect commands during the song. The C arrow points at the list of instruments. An instrument may consist of multiple samples. Which sample will be played depends on the note. This can be set in the Instrument Editing screen. Most instruments will consist of just one sample, though. The sample list for the selected instrument can be found under arrow D. Here's a part of the main editing screen. This is where you put in actual notes. Up to 32 channels can be used, meaning 32 sounds can play simultaneously. The first six channels of pattern "03" at order "02" are shown here. The arrow at A points at the row number. The B arrow points at the note to play, in this case a C4. The column pointed at by the C arrow tells us which instrument is associated with that note, in this case instrument #1 "Kick". The column at D is used (mainly) for volume commands. In this case it is left empty which means the instrument should play at its default volume. You can see the volume column being used in channel #6. The E column tells us which effect to use and any parameters for that effect. In this case it holds the "F" effect, which is a tempo command. The "04" means it should play at tempo 4 (a smaller number means faster). Base pattern When I create a new track I start with what I call the base pattern. It is worthwhile to spend some time polishing it as a lot of the ideas in the base pattern will be copied and used in other patterns. At least, that's how I work. Every musician will have his own way of working. In "Wild Bunnies" the base pattern is pattern "03" at order "02". In the section about selecting samples I talked about the four different categories of instruments: drums, bass, chords and leads. That's also how I usually go about making the base pattern. I start by making a drum pattern, then add a bass line, place some chords and top it off with a lead. This forms the base pattern from which the rest of the song will grow. Drums Here's a screenshot of the first four rows of the base pattern. I usually reserve the first four channels or so for the drum instruments. Right away there are a couple of tricks shown here. In the first channel the kick, or bass drum, plays some notes. Note the alternating F04 and F02 commands. The "F" command alters the tempo of the song and by quickly alternating the tempo; the song will get some kind of "swing" feel. In the second channel the closed hi-hat plays a fairly simple pattern. Further down in the channel, not shown here, some open hi-hat notes are added for a bit of variation. In the third and fourth channel the snare sample plays. The "8" command is for panning. One note is panned hard to the left and the other hard to the right. One sample is played a semitone lower than the other. This results in a cool flanging effect. It makes the snare stand out a little more in the mix. Bass line There are two different instruments used for the bass line. Instrument #6 is a pretty standard synthesized bass sound. Instrument #A sounds a bit like a slap bass when used with a quick fade out. By using two different instruments the bass line sounds a bit more ”human”. The volume command is used to cut off the notes. However, it is never set to zero. Setting the volume to a very small value will result in a reverb-like effect. This makes the song sound more "live". The bass line hints at the chords that will be played and the key the song will be in. In this case the key of the song is D-major, a positive and happy key. Chords The D major chords that are being played here are chords stabs; short sounds with a quick decay (fade out). Two different instruments (#8 and #9) are used to form the chords. These instruments are quite similar, but have a slightly different sound, panning and volume decay. Again, the reason for this is to make the sound more human. The volume command is used on some chords to simulate a delay, to achieve more of a live feel. The chords are placed off-beat making for a funky rhythm. Lead Finally the lead melody is added. The other instruments are invaluable in holding the track together, but the lead melody is usually what catches people's attention. A lot of notes and commands are used here, but it looks more complex than it is. A stepwise ascending melody plays in channel 13. Channel 14 and 15 copy this melody, but play it a few rows later at a lower volume. This creates an echo effect. A bit of panning is used on the notes to create some stereo depth. Like with the bass line, instead of cutting off notes the volume is set to low values for a reverb effect. The "461" effect adds a little vibrato to the note, which sounds nice on sustained notes. Those paying close attention may notice the instrument used here for the lead melody is the same as the one used for the bass line (#6 "Square"), except played two or three octaves higher. This instrument is a looped square wave sample. Each type of wave has its own quirks, but the square wave (shown below) is a really versatile wave form. Song structure Good, catchy songs are often carefully structured into sections, some of which are repeated throughout the song with small variations. A typical pop-song structure is: Intro - Verse - Chorus - Verse - Chorus - Bridge - Chorus. Other single sectional song structures are <pre> Strophic or AAA Song Form - oldest story telling with refrain (often title of the song) repeated in every verse section melody AABA Song Form - early popular, jazz and gospel fading during the 1960s AB or Verse/Chorus Song Form - songwriting format of choice for modern popular music since the 1960s Verse/Chorus/Bridge Song Form ABAB Song Form ABAC Song Form ABCD Song Form AAB 12-Bar Song Form - three four-bar lines or sub-sections 8-Bar Song Form 16-Bar Song Form Hybrid / Compound Song Forms </pre> The most common building blocks are: #INTRODUCTION(INTRO) #VERSE #REFRAIN #PRE-CHORUS / RISE / CLIMB #CHORUS #BRIDGE #MIDDLE EIGHT #SOLO / INSTRUMENTAL BREAK #COLLISION #CODA / OUTRO #AD LIB (OFTEN IN CODA / OUTRO) The chorus usually has more energy than the verse and often has a memorable melody line. As the chorus is repeated the most often during the song, it will be the part that people will remember. The bridge often marks a change of direction in the song. It is not uncommon to change keys in the bridge, or at least to use a different chord sequence. The bridge is used to build up tension towards the big finale, the last repetition of chorus.

Input a note, then move the cursor to the effects command column and type a C. Play the pattern, and you shouldn't be able to hear the note you placed the C by. This is because the effect parameters are 00. Change the two zeros to a 40(Hex)/64(Dec), depending on what your tracker uses. Play back the pattern again, and the note should come in at full volume. The Position Jump command next. This is just a B followed by the position in the playing list that you want to jump to. One thing to remember is that the playing list always starts at 0, not 1. This command is usually in Hex. Onto the volume slide command: A. This is slightly more complex (much more if you're using a newer tracker, if you want to achieve the results here, then set slides to Amiga, not linear), due to the fact it depends on the secondary tempo. For now set a secondary tempo of 06 (you can play around later), load a long or looped sample and input a note or two. A few rows after a note type in the effect command A. For the parameters use 0F. Play back the pattern, and you should notice that when the effect kicks in, the sample drops to a very low volume very quickly. Change the effect parameters to F0, and use a low volume command on the note. Play back the pattern, and when the slide kicks in the volume of the note should increase very quickly. This because each part of the effect parameters for command A does a different thing. The first number slides the volume up, and the second slides it down. It's not recommended that you use both a volume up and volume down at the same time, due to the fact the tracker only looks for the first number that isn't set to 0. If you specify parameters of 8F, the tracker will see the 8, ignore the F, and slide the volume up. Using a slide up and down at same time just makes you look stupid. Don't do it... The Set Tempo command: F, is pretty easy to understand. You simply specify the BPM (in Hex) that you want to change to. One important thing to note is that values of lower than 20 (Hex) sets the secondary tempo rather than the primary. Another useful command is the Pattern Break: D. This will stop the playing of the current pattern and skip to the next one in the playing list. By using parameters of more than 00 you can also specify which line to begin playing from. Command 3 is Portamento to Note. This slides the currently playing note to another note, at a specified speed. The slide then stops when it reaches the desired note. <pre> C-2 1 000 - Starts the note playing --- 000 C-3 330 - Starts the slide to C-3 at a speed of 30. --- 300 - Continues the slide --- 300 - Continues the slide </pre> Once the parameters have been set, the command can be input again without any parameters, and it'll still perform the same function unless you change the parameters. This memory function allows certain commands to function correctly, such as command 5, which is the Portamento to Note and Volume Slide command. Once command 3 has been set up command 5 will simply take the parameters from that and perform a Portamento to Note. Any parameters set up for command 5 itself simply perform a Volume Slide identical to command A at the same time as the Portamento to Note. This memory function will only operate in the same channel where the original parameters were set up. There are various other commands which perform two functions at once. They will be described as we come across them. C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 02 C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 05 C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 08 C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 0A C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 0D C-3 04 .. .. 09 10 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 10 (You can also switch on the Slider Rec to On, and perform parameter-live-recording, such as cutoff transitions, resonance or panning tweaking, etc..) Note: this command only works for volume/panning and fx datas columns. The next command we'll look at is the Portamento up/down: 1 and 2. Command 1 slides the pitch up at a specified speed, and 2 slides it down. This command works in a similar way to the volume slide, in that it is dependent on the secondary tempo. Both these commands have a memory dependent on each other, if you set the slide to a speed of 3 with the 1 command, a 2 command with no parameters will use the speed of 3 from the 1 command, and vice versa. Command 4 is Vibrato. Vibrato is basically rapid changes in pitch, just try it, and you'll see what I mean. Parameters are in the format of xy, where x is the speed of the slide, and y is the depth of the slide. One important point to remember is to keep your vibratos subtle and natural so a depth of 3 or less and a reasonably fast speed, around 8, is usually used. Setting the depth too high can make the part sound out of tune from the rest. Following on from command 4 is command 6. This is the Vibrato and Volume Slide command, and it has a memory like command 5, which you already know how to use. Command 7 is Tremolo. This is similar to vibrato. Rather than changing the pitch it slides the volume. The effect parameters are in exactly the same format. vibrato effect (0x1dxy) x = speed y = depth (can't be used if arpeggio (0x1b) is turned on) <pre> C-7 00 .. .. 1B37 <- Turn Arpeggio effect on --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 1B38 <- Change datas --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 1B00 <- Turn it off </pre> Command 9 is Sample Offset. This starts the playback of the sample from a different place than the start. The effect parameters specify the sample offset, but only very roughly. Say you have a sample which is 8765(Hex) bytes long, and you wanted it to play from position 4321(Hex). The effect parameter could only be as accurate as the 43 part, and it would ignore the 21. Command B is the Playing List/Order Jump command. The parameters specify the position in the Playing List/Order to jump to. When used in conjunction with command D you can specify the position and the line to play from. Command E is pretty complex, as it is used for a lot of different things, depending on what the first parameter is. Let's take a trip through each effect in order. Command E0 controls the hardware filter on an Amiga, which, as a low pass filter, cuts off the highest frequencies being played back. There are very few players and trackers on other system that simulate this function, not that you should need to use it. The second parameter, if set to 1, turns on the filter. If set to 0, the filter gets turned off. Commands E1/E2 are Fine Portamento Up/Down. Exactly the same functions as commands 1/2, except that they only slide the pitch by a very small amount. These commands have a memory the same as 1/2 as well. Command E3 sets the Glissando control. If parameters are set to 1 then when using command 3, any sliding will only use the notes in between the original note and the note being slid to. This produces a somewhat jumpier slide than usual. The best way to understand is to try it out for yourself. Produce a slow slide with command 3, listen to it, and then try using E31. Command E4 is the Set Vibrato Waveform control. This command controls how the vibrato command slides the pitch. Parameters are 0 - Sine, 1 - Ramp Down (Saw), 2 - Square. By adding 4 to the parameters, the waveform will not be restarted when a new note is played e.g. 5 - Sine without restart. Command E5 sets the Fine Tune of the instrument being played, but only for the particular note being played. It will override the default Fine Tune for the instrument. The parameters range from 0 to F, with 0 being -8 and F being +8 Fine Tune. A parameter of 8 gives no Fine Tune. If you're using a newer tracker that supports more than -8 to +8 e.g. -128 to +128, these parameters will give a rough Fine Tune, accurate to the nearest 16. Command E6 is the Jump Loop command. You mark the beginning of the part of a pattern that you want to loop with E60, and then specify with E6x the end of the loop, where x is the number of times you want it to loop. Command E7 is the Set Tremolo Waveform control. This has exactly the same parameters as command E4, except that it works for Tremolo rather than Vibrato. Command E9 is for Retriggering the note quickly. The parameter specifies the interval between the retrigs. Use a value of less than the current secondary tempo, or else the note will not get retrigged. Command EA/B are for Fine Volume Slide Up/Down. Much the same as the normal Volume Slides, except that these are easier to control since they don't depend on the secondary tempo. The parameters specify the amount to slide by e.g. if you have a sample playing at a volume of 08 (Hex) then the effect EA1 will slide this volume to 09 (Hex). A subsequent effect of EB4 would slide this volume down to 05 (Hex). Command EC is the Note Cut. This sets the volume of the currently playing note to 0 at a specified tick. The parameters should be lower than the secondary tempo or else the effect won't work. Command ED is the Note Delay. This should be used at the same time as a note is to be played, and the parameters will specify the number of ticks to delay playing the note. Again, keep the parameters lower than the secondary tempo, or the note won't get played! Command EE is the Pattern Delay. This delays the pattern for the amount of time it would take to play a certain number of rows. The parameters specify how many rows to delay for. Command EF is the Funk Repeat command. Set the sample loop to 0-1000. When EFx is used, the loop will be moved to 1000- 2000, then to 2000-3000 etc. After 9000-10000 the loop is set back to 0- 1000. The speed of the loop "movement" is defined by x. E is two times as slow as F, D is three times as slow as F etc. EF0 will turn the Funk Repeat off and reset the loop (to 0-1000). effects 0x41 and 0x42 to control the volumes of the 2 303 units There is a dedicated panel for synth parameter editing with coherent sections (osc, filter modulation, routing, so on) the interface is much nicer, much better to navigate with customizable colors, the reverb is now customizable (10 delay lines), It accepts newer types of Waves (higher bit rates, at least 24). Has a replay routine. It's pretty much your basic VA synth. The problem isn't with the sampler being to high it's the synth is tuned two octaves too low, but if you want your samples tuned down just set the base note down 2 octaves (in the instrument panel). so the synth is basically divided into 3 sections from left to right: oscillators/envelopes, then filter and LFO's, and in the right column you have mod routings and global settings. for the oscillator section you have two normal oscillators (sine, saw, square, noise), the second of which is tunable, the first one tunes with the key pressed. Attached to OSC 1 is a sub-oscillator, which is a sawtooth wave tuned one octave down. The phase modulation controls the point in the duty cycle at which the oscillator starts. The ADSR envelope sliders (grouped with oscs) are for modulation envelope 1 and 2 respectively. you can use the synth as a sampler by choosing the instrument at the top. In the filter column, the filter settings are: 1 = lowpass, 2 = highpass, 3 = off. cutoff and resonance. For the LFOs they are LFO 1 and LFO 2, the ADSR sliders in those are for the LFO itself. For the modulation routings you have ENV 1, LFO 1 for the first slider and ENV 2, LFO 2 for the second, you can cycle through the individual routings there, and you can route each modulation source to multiple destinations of course, which is another big plus for this synth. Finally the glide time is for portamento and master volume, well, the master volume... it can go quite loud. The sequencer is changed too, It's more like the one in AXS if you've used that, where you can mute tracks to re-use patterns with variation. <pre> Support for the following modules formats: 669 (Composer 669, Unis 669), AMF (DSMI Advanced Module Format), AMF (ASYLUM Music Format V1.0), APUN (APlayer), DSM (DSIK internal format), FAR (Farandole Composer), GDM (General DigiMusic), IT (Impulse Tracker), IMF (Imago Orpheus), MOD (15 and 31 instruments), MED (OctaMED), MTM (MultiTracker Module editor), OKT (Amiga Oktalyzer), S3M (Scream Tracker 3), STM (Scream Tracker), STX (Scream Tracker Music Interface Kit), ULT (UltraTracker), UNI (MikMod), XM (FastTracker 2), Mid (midi format via timidity) </pre> Possible plugin options include [http://lv2plug.in/ LV2], ====Midi - Musical Instrument Digital Interface==== A midi file typically contains music that plays on up to 16 channels (as per the midi standard), but many notes can simultaneously play on each channel (depending on the limit of the midi hardware playing it).

Bars and Pipes Pro 2.5 is using internal 4-Byte IDs, to check which kind of data are currently processed. Especially in all its files the IDs play an important role. The IDs are stored into the file in the same order they are laid out in the memory. In a Bars 'N' Pipes file (no matter which kind) the ID "NAME" (saved as its ANSI-values) is stored on a big endian system (68k-computer) as "NAME". On a little endian system (x86 PC computer) as "EMAN". The target is to make the AROS-BnP compatible to songs, which were stored on a 68k computer (AMIGA). If possible, setting MIDI channels for Local Control for your keyboard http://www.fromwithin.com/liquidmidi/archive.shtml MIDI files are essentially a stream of event data. An event can be many things, but typically "note on", "note off", "program change", "controller change", or messages that instruct a MIDI compatible synth how to play a given bit of music. * Channel - 1 to 16 - * Messages - PC presets, CC effects like delays, reverbs, etc * Sequencing - MIDI instruments, Drums, Sound design, * Recording - * GUI - Piano roll or Tracker, Staves and Notes MIDI events/messages like step entry e.g. Note On, Note Off MIDI events/messages like PB, PC, CC, Mono and Poly After-Touch, Sysex, etc MIDI sync - Midi Clocks (SPS Measures), Midi Time Code (h, m, s and frames) SMPTE Individual track editing with audition edits so easier to test any changes.

Would it be possible to enrich Bars N’Pipes with software synth and sample support along with audio recording and mastering tools like in the named MAC or PC music sequencers? On the classic AMIGA-OS this is not possible because of missing CPU-power. The hardware of the classic AMIGA is not further developed. So we must say (unfortunately) that those dreams can’t become reality BarsnPipes is best used with external MIDI-equipment. This can be a keyboard or synthesizer with MIDI-connectors. <pre> MIDI can control 16 channels There are USB-MIDI-Interfaces on the market with 16 independent MIDI-lines (multi-port), which can handle 16 MIDI devices independently – 16×16 = 256 independent MIDI-channels or instruments handle up to 16 different USB-MIDI-Interfaces (multi-device).

First of all, midi in & out capabilities of this program are rather limited. # Go to Misc. Setup section and select a midi in or out device to use (ptk only supports one device at a time). # Go to instrument section, and select a MIDI PRG (the default is N/A, which means no midi program selected). # Go to track section and here you can assign a midi channel to each track of ptk. # Play notes :]. Note off works. F'x' note cut command also works too, and note-volume command (speed) is supported. Also, you can change midicontrollers in the tracker, using '90' in the panning row: <pre> C-3 02 .. .. 0000.... --- .. .. 90 xxyy.... << This will set the value --- .. .. .. 0000.... of the controller n.'xx' to 'yy' (both in hex) --- .. .. .. 0000.... </pre> So "--- .. .. 90 2040...." will set the controller number $20(32) to $40(64). You will need the midi implementation table of your gear to know what you can change with midi controller messages. N.B. Not all MIDI devices are created equal! Although the MIDI specification defines a large range of MIDI messages of various kinds, not every MIDI device is required to work in exactly the same way and respond to all the available messages and ways of working. For example, we don't expect a wind synthesiser to work in the same way as a home keyboard. Some devices, the older ones perhaps, are only able to respond to a single channel. With some of those devices that channel can be altered from the default of 1 (probably) to another channel of the 16 possible. Other devices, for instance monophonic synthesisers, are capable of producing just one note at a time, on one MIDI channel. Others can produce many notes spread across many channels. Further devices can respond to, and transmit, "breath controller" data (MIDI controller number 2 (CC#2)) others may respond to the reception of CC#2 but not be able to create and to send it. A controller keyboard may be capable of sending "expression pedal" data, but another device may not be capable of responding to that message. Some devices just have the basic GM sound set. The "voice" or "instrument" is selected using a "Program Change" message on its own. Other devices have a greater selection of voices, usually arranged in "banks", and the choice of instrument is made by responding to "Bank Select MSB" (MIDI controller 0 (CC#0)), others use "Bank Select LSB" (MIDI controller number 32 (CC#32)), yet others use both MSB and LSB sent one after the other, all followed by the Program Change message. The detailed information about all the different voices will usually be available in a published MIDI Data List. MIDI Implementation Chart But in the User Manual there is sometimes a summary of how the device works, in terms of MIDI, in the chart at the back of the manual, the MIDI Implementation Chart. If you require two devices to work together you can compare the two implementation charts to see if they are "compatible". In order to do this we will need to interpret that chart. The chart is divided into four columns headed "Function", "Transmitted" (or "Tx"), "Received" (or "Rx"), or more correctly "Recognised", and finally, "Remarks". <pre> The left hand column defines which MIDI functions are being described. The 2nd column defines what the device in question is capable of transmitting to another device. The 3rd column defines what the device is capable of responding to. The 4th column is for explanations of the values contained within these previous two columns. </pre> There should then be twelve sections, with possibly a thirteenth containing extra "Notes". Finally there should be an explanation of the four MIDI "modes" and what the "X" and the "O" mean. <pre> Mode 1: Omni On, Poly; Mode 2: Omni On, Mono; Mode 3: Omni Off, Poly; Mode 4: Omni Off, Mono. </pre> O means "yes" (implemented), X means "no" (not implemented). Sometimes you will find a row of asterisks "**************", these seem to indicate that the data is not applicable in this case. Seen in the transmitted field only (unless you've seen otherwise). Lastly you may find against some entries an asterisk followed by a number e.g. *1, these will refer you to further information, often on a following page, giving more detail. Basic Channel But the very first set of boxes will tell us the "Basic Channel(s)" that the device sends or receives on. "Default" is what happens when the device is first turned on, "changed" is what a switch of some kind may allow the device to be set to. For many devices e.g. a GM sound module or a home keyboard, this would be 1-16 for both. That is it can handle sending and receiving on all MIDI channels. On other devices, for example a synthesiser, it may by default only work on channel 1. But the keyboard could be "split" with the lower notes e.g. on channel 2. If the synth has an arppegiator, this may be able to be set to transmit and or receive on yet another channel. So we might see the default as "1" but the changed as "1-16". Modes. We need to understand Omni On and Off, and Mono and Poly, then we can decipher the four modes. But first we need to understand that any of these four Mode messages can be sent to any MIDI channel. They don't necessarily apply to the whole device. If we send an "Omni On" message (CC#125) to a MIDI channel of a device, we are, in effect, asking it to respond to e.g. a Note On / Off message pair, received on any of the sixteen channels. Sound strange? Read it again. Still strange? It certainly is. We normally want a MIDI channel to respond only to Note On / Off messages sent on that channel, not any other. In other words, "Omni Off". So "Omni Off" (CC#124) tells a channel of our MIDI device to respond only to messages sent on that MIDI channel. "Poly" (CC#127) is for e.g. a channel of a polyphonic sound module, or a home keyboard, to be able to respond to many simultaneous Note On / Off message pairs at once and produce musical chords. "Mono" (CC#126) allows us to set a channel to respond as if it were e.g. a flute or a trumpet, playing just one note at a time. If the device is capable of it, then the overlapping of notes will produce legato playing, that is the attack portion of the second note of two overlapping notes will be removed resulting in a "smoother" transition. So a channel with a piano voice assigned to it will have Omni Off, Poly On (Mode 3), a channel with a saxophone voice assigned could be Omni Off, Mono On (Mode 4). We call these combinations the four modes, 1 to 4, as defined above. Most modern devices will have their channels set to Mode 3 (Omni Off, Poly) but be switchable, on a per channel basis, to Mode 4 (Omni Off, Mono). This second section of data will include first its default value i.e. upon device switch on. Then what Mode messages are acceptable, or X if none. Finally, in the "Altered" field, how a Mode message that can't be implemented will be interpreted. Usually there will just be a row of asterisks effectively meaning nothing will be done if you try to switch to an unimplemented mode. Note Number <pre> The next row will tell us which MIDI notes the device can send or receive, normally 0-127. The second line, "True Voice" has the following in the MIDI specification: "Range of received note numbers falling within the range of true notes produced by the instrument." My interpretation is that, for instance, a MIDI piano may be capable of sending all MIDI notes (0 to 127) by transposition, but only responding to the 88 notes (21 to 108) of a real piano. </pre> Velocity This will tell us whether the device we're looking at will handle note velocity, and what range from 1-127, or maybe just 64, it transmits or will recognise. So usually "O" plus a range or "X" for not implemented. After touch This may have one or two lines two it. If a one liner the either "O" or "X", yes or no. If a two liner then it may include "Keys" or "Poly" and "Channel". This will show whether the device will respond to Polyphonic after touch or channel after touch or neither. Pitch Bend Again "O" for implemented, "X" for not implemented. (Many stage pianos will have no pitch bend capability.) It may also, in the notes section, state whether it will respond to the full 14 bits, or not, as usually encoded by the pitch bend wheel. Control Change This is likely to be the largest section of the chart. It will list all those controllers, starting from CC#0, Bank Select MSB, which the device is capable of sending, and those that it will respond to using "O" or "X" respectively. You will, almost certainly, get some further explanation of functionality in the remarks column, or in more detail elsewhere in the documentation. Of course you will need to know what all the various controller numbers do. Lots of the official technical specifications can be found at the [www.midi.org/techspecs/ MMA], with the table of messages and control change [www.midi.org/techspecs/midimessages.php message numbers] Program Change Again "O" or "X" in the Transmitted or Recognised column to indicate whether or not the feature is implemented. In addition a range of numbers is shown, typically 0-127, to show what is available. True # (number): "The range of the program change numbers which correspond to the actual number of patches selected." System Exclusive Used to indicate whether or not the device can send or recognise System Exclusive messages. A short description is often given in the Remarks field followed by a detailed explanation elsewhere in the documentation. System Common - These include the following: <pre> MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame messages (device synchronisation). Song Position Pointer Song Select Tune Request </pre> The section will indicate whether or not the device can send or respond to any of these messages. System Real Time These include the following: <pre> Timing Clock - often just written as "Clock" Start Stop Continue </pre> These three are usually just referred to as "Commands" and listed. Again the section will indicate which, if any, of these messages the device can send or respond to. <pre> Aux. Messages Again "O" or "X" for implemented or not. Aux. = Auxiliary. Active Sense = Active Sensing. </pre> Often with an explanation of the action of the device. Notes The "Notes" section can contain any additional comments to clarify the particular implementation. Some of the explanations have been drawn directly from the MMA MIDI 1.0 Detailed Specification. And the detailed explanation of some of the functions will be found there, or in the General MIDI System Level 1 or General MIDI System Level 2 documents also published by the MMA.

A single location requires eight messages to send the location in an encoded hours:minutes:seconds:frames format*. Song Position 0xF2 2 Instructs a sequencer to jump to a new position in the song. The data bytes form a 14-bit value that expresses the location as the number of sixteenth notes from the start of the song. Song Select 0xF3 1 Instructs a sequencer to select a new song. The data byte indicates the song. Undefined 0xF4 0 Undefined 0xF5 0 Tune Request 0xF6 0 Requests that the receiver retunes itself**. </pre> *MIDI Time Code (MTC) is significantly complex. Please see the MIDI Specification **While modern digital instruments are good at staying in tune, older analog synthesizers were prone to tuning drift. Some analog synthesizers had an automatic tuning operation that could be initiated with this command. System Exclusive If you’ve been keeping track, you’ll notice there are two status bytes not yet defined: 0xf0 and 0xf7. These are used by the System Exclusive message, often abbreviated at SysEx. SysEx provides a path to send arbitrary data over a MIDI connection. There is a group of predefined messages for complex data, like fine grained control of MIDI Time code machinery. SysEx is also used to send manufacturer defined data, such as patches, or even firmware updates. System Exclusive messages are longer than other MIDI messages, and can be any length. The messages are of the following format: 0xF0, 0xID, 0xdd, ...... 0xF7 The message is bookended with distinct bytes. It opens with the Start Of Exclusive (SOX) data byte, 0xF0. The next one to three bytes after the start are an identifier. Values from 0x01 to 0x7C are one-byte vendor IDs, assigned to manufacturers who were involved with MIDI at the beginning. If the ID is 0x00, it’s a three-byte vendor ID - the next two bytes of the message are the value. <pre> ID 0x7D is a placeholder for non-commercial entities. ID 0x7E indicates a predefined Non-realtime SysEx message. ID 0x7F indicates a predefined Realtime SysEx message. </pre> After the ID is the data payload, sent as a stream of bytes. The transfer concludes with the End of Exclusive (EOX) byte, 0xF7. The payload data must follow the guidelines for MIDI data bytes – the MSB must not be set, so only 7 bits per byte are actually usable. If the MSB is set, it falls into three possible scenarios. An End of Exclusive byte marks the ordinary termination of the SysEx transfer. System Real Time messages may occur within the transfer without interrupting it. The recipient should handle them independently of the SysEx transfer. Other status bytes implicitly terminate the SysEx transfer and signal the start of new messages. Some inexpensive USB-to-MIDI interfaces aren’t capable of handling messages longer than four bytes. {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="10%" |Status D7----D0 ! width="10%" |Data Byte(s) D7----D0 ! width="20%" |Description |- |<!--Status-->11110000 || <!--Data-->0iiiiiii [0iiiiiii 0iiiiiii] 0ddddddd --- --- 0ddddddd 11110111 || <!--Description-->System Exclusive.

While a key is being held down, the player can press harder on the key. The controller measures this, and converts it into MIDI messages. Aftertouch comes in two flavors, with two different status messages. The first flavor is polyphonic aftertouch, where every key on the controller is capable of sending its own independent pressure information. The messages are of the following format: <pre> 0xnc, 0xkk, 0xpp n is the status (0xA) c is the channel nybble kk is the key number (0 to 127) pp is the pressure value (0 to 127) </pre> Polyphonic aftertouch is an uncommon feature, usually found on premium quality instruments, because every key requires a separate pressure sensor, plus the circuitry to read them all. Much more commonly found is channel aftertouch. Instead of needing a discrete sensor per key, it uses a single, larger sensor to measure pressure on all of the keys as a group. The messages omit the key number, leaving a two-byte format <pre> 0xnc, 0xpp n is the status (0xD) c is the channel number pp is the pressure value (0 to 127) </pre> Pitch Bend (0xE0) Many keyboards have a wheel or lever towards the left of the keys for pitch bend control. This control is usually spring-loaded, so it snaps back to the center of its range when released. This allows for both upward and downward bends. Pitch Bend Wheel The wheel sends pitch bend messages, of the format <pre> 0xnc, 0xLL, 0xMM n is the status (0xE) c is the channel number LL is the 7 least-significant bits of the value MM is the 7 most-significant bits of the value </pre> You’ll notice that the bender data is actually 14 bits long, transmitted as two 7-bit data bytes. This means that the recipient needs to reassemble those bytes using binary manipulation. 14 bits results in an overall range of 214, or 0 to 16,383. Because it defaults to the center of the range, the default value for the bender is halfway through that range, at 8192 (0x2000). Control Change (0xB0) In addition to pitch bend, MIDI has provisions for a wider range of expressive controls, sometimes known as continuous controllers, often abbreviated CC. These are transmitted by the remaining knobs and sliders on the keyboard controller shown below. Continuous Controllers These controls send the following message format: <pre> 0xnc, 0xcc, 0xvv n is the status (0xB) c is the MIDI channel cc is the controller number (0-127) vv is the controller value (0-127) </pre> Typically, the wheel next to the bender sends controller number one, assigned to modulation (or vibrato) depth. It is implemented by most instruments. The remaining controller number assignments are another point of confusion. The MIDI specification was revised in version 2.0 to assign uses for many of the controllers. However, this implementation is not universal, and there are ranges of unassigned controllers. On many modern MIDI devices, the controllers are assignable. On the controller keyboard shown in the photos, the various controls can be configured to transmit different controller numbers. Controller numbers can be mapped to particular parameters. Virtual synthesizers frequently allow the user to assign CCs to the on-screen controls. This is very flexible, but it might require configuration on both ends of the link and completely bypasses the assignments in the standard. Program Change (0xC0) Most synthesizers have patch storage memory, and can be told to change patches using the following command: <pre> 0xnc, 0xpp n is the status (0xc) c is the channel pp is the patch number (0-127) </pre> This allows for 128 sounds to be selected, but modern instruments contain many more than 128 patches. Controller #0 is used as an additional layer of addressing, interpreted as a “bank select” command. Selecting a sound on such an instrument might involve two messages: a bank select controller message, then a program change. Audio & Midi are not synchronized, what I can do ? Buy a commercial software package but there is a nasty trick to synchronize both. It's a bit hardcore but works for me: Simply put one line down to all midi notes on your pattern (use Insert key) and go to 'Misc. Setup', adjust the latency and just search a value that will make sound sync both audio/midi. The stock Sin/Saw/Pulse and Rnd waveforms are too simple/common, is there a way to use something more complex/rich ? You have to ability to redirect the waveforms of the instruments through the synth pipe by selecting the "wav" option for the oscillator you're using for this synth instrument, samples can be used as wavetables to replace the stock signals. Sound banks like soundfont (sf2) or Kontakt2 are not supported at the moment ====DAW Audio Evolution 4==== Audio Evolution 4 gives you unsurpassed power for digital audio recording and editing on the Amiga. The latest release focusses on time-saving non-linear and non-destructive editing, as seen on other platforms. Besides editing, Audio Evolution 4 offers a wide range of realtime effects, including compression, noise gate, delays, reverb, chorus and 3-band EQ. Whether you put them as inserts on a channel or use them as auxillaries, the effect parameters are realtime adjustable and can be fully automated. Together with all other mixing parameters, they can even be controlled remotely, using more ergonomic MIDI hardware. Non-linear editing on the time line, including cut, copy, paste, move, split, trim and crossfade actions The number of tracks per project(s) is unlimited .... AHI limits you to recording only two at a time. i.e. not on 8 track sound cards like the Juli@ or Phase 88. sample file import is limited to 16bit AIFF (not AIFC, important distinction as some files from other sources can be AIFC with aiff file extension). and 16bit WAV (pcm only) Most apps use the Music Unit only but a few apps also use Unit (0-3) instead or as well. * Set up AHI prefs so that microphone is available. (Input option near the bottom) stereo++ allows the audio piece to be placed anywhere and the left-right adjusted to sound positionally right hifi best for music playback if driver supports this option Load 16bit .aif .aiff only sample(s) to use not AIFC which can have the same ending.

So no way to pass on an AC3 encoded stream unmodified to the digital outputs through AHI. *No master volume handling. Each application has to set its own volume. So each driver implements its own custom driver-mixer interface for handling master volumes, mute and preamps. *Only one output stream. So all input gets mixed into one output. *No automatic handling of output direction based on connected cables. *No monitor input selection. Only monitor volume control. select the correct input (Don't mistake enabled sound for the correct input.) The monitor will feedback audio to the lineout and hp out no matter if you have selected the correct input to the ADC. The monitor will provide sound for any valid input. This will result in free mixing when recording from the monitor input instead of mic/line because the monitor itself will provide the hardware mixing for you. Be aware that MIC inputs will give two channel mono. Only Linein will give real stereo. Now for the not working part. Attempt to record from linein in the AE4 record window, the right channel is noise and the left channel is distorted. Even with the recommended HIFI 16bit Stereo++ mode at 48kHz. Channels Monitor Gain Inout Output Advanced settings - Debugging via serial port * Options -> Soundcard In/Out * Options -> SampleRate * Options -> Preferences F6 for Sample File List Setting a grid is easy as is measuring the BPM by marking a section of the sample. Is your kick drum track "not in time" ? If so, you're stumped in AE4 as it has no fancy variable time signatures and definitely no 'track this dodgy rhythm' function like software of the nature of Logic has. So if your drum beat is freeform you will need to work in freeform mode. (Real music is free form anyway). If the drum *is* accurate and you are just having trouble measuring the time, I usually measure over a range of bars and set the number of beats in range to say 16 as this is more accurate, Then you will need to shift the drum track to match your grid *before* applying the grid. (probably an iterative process as when the grid is active samples snap to it, and when inactive you cannot see it). AE4 does have ARexx but the functions are more for adding samples at set offsets and starting playback / recording. These are the usual features found in DAWs... * Recording digital audio, midi sequencer and mixer * virtual VST instruments and plug-ins * automation, group channels, MIDI channels, FX sends and returns, audio and MIDI editors and music notation editor * different track views * mixer and track layout (but not the same as below) * traditional two windows (track and mixer) Mixing - mixdown Could not figure out how to select what part I wanted to send to the aux, set it to echo and return. Pretty much the whole echo effect. Or any effect. Take look at page17 of the manual. When you open the EQ / Aux send popup window you will see 4 sends. Now from the menu choose the windows menu. Menus->Windows-> Aux Returns Window or press F5 You will see a small window with 4 volume controls and an effects button for each. Click a button and add an effects to that aux channel, then set it up as desired (note the reverb effect has a special AUX setting that improves its use with the aux channel, not compulsory but highly useful). You set the amount of 'return' on the main mix in the Aux Return window, and the amount sent from each main mixer channel in the popup for that channel. Again the aux sends are "prefade" so the volume faders on each channel do not affect them. Tracking Effects - fade in To add some echoes to some vocals, tried to add an effect on a track but did not come out. This is made more complicated as I wanted to mute a vocal but then make it echo at the muting point. Want to have one word of a vocal heard and then echoed off. But when the track is mute the echo is cancelled out. To correctly understand what is happening here you need to study the figure at the bottom of page 15 on the manual. You will see from that that the effects are applied 'prefade' So the automation you applied will naturally mute the entire signal. There would be a number of ways to achieve the goal, You have three real time effects slots, one for smoothing like so Sample -> Amplify -> Delay Then automate the gain of the amplify block so that it effectively mutes the sample just before the delay at the appropriate moment, the echo effect should then be heard. Getting the effects in the right order will require experimentation as they can only be added top down and it's not obvious which order they are applied to the signal, but there only two possibilities, so it wont take long to find out. Using MUTE can cause clicks to the Amplify can be used to mute more smoothly so that's a secondary advantage.

Would add that there is a box next to the Zoom button that allows the direct insertion of a value which, the larger it is, the smaller the magnification and the smaller the value, the stronger the magnification. At each numerical change you will need to press the DRAW button to update the view. PAN button Under Zoom you will find the PAN button which allows you to move the map at will in all directions by the amount you want. This is done by drawing a line in one direction, then press PAN and point to an area on the map with the pointer and press the left mouse button. At this point, leave it and move the pointer in one direction by drawing a line and press the left mouse button again to trigger the movement of the map on the screen (origin and end points). Do some experiments and then use the Auto button immediately below to recenter everything. There are parameters such as TOPO, VEC to be left checked and immediately below one that allows different views of the map with the Style command (Single, Multi, Surface, Emboss, Slope, Contour), each with its own particularities to highlight different details. Now you have the first basics to manage your project visually on the map. Close the MapView window and go further... Let's start working on ECOSYSTEMS If we select Emboss from the MapView Style command we will have a clear idea of ​​how the landscape appears, realizing that it is a predominantly desert region of our planet. Therefore we will begin to act on any vegetation present and the appearance of the landscape. With WCS we will begin to break down the elements of the landscape by assigning defined characteristics. It will be necessary to determine the classes of the ecosystem (Class) with parameters of Elevation Line (maximum altitude), Relative Elevation (arrangement on basins or convexities with respectively positive or negative parameters), Min Slope and Max Slope (slope). WCS offers the possibility of making ecosystems coexist on the same terrain with the UnderEco function, by setting a Density value. Ecosys Ecosystem Editor Let's open it from Modules, then Ecosys Editor. In the left pane you will find the list of ecosystems referring to the files present in our project. It will be necessary to clean up that box to leave only the Water and Snow landscapes and a few other predefined ones. We can do this by selecting the items and pressing the Remove button (be careful not for all elements the button is activated, therefore they cannot all be eliminated). Once this is done we can start adding new ecosystems. Scroll through the various Unused and as soon as the Name item at the top is activated allowing you to write, type the name of your ecosystem, adding the necessary parameters. <pre> Ecosystem1: Name: RockBase Class: Rock Density: 80 MinSlope: 15 UnderEco: Terrain Ecosystem2: Name: RockIncl Clss: Rock Density: 80 MinSlope: 30 UnderEco: Terrain Ecosystem3: Name: Grass Class Low Veg Density: 50 Height: 1 Elev Line : 1500 Rel El Eff: 5 Max Slope: 10 – Min Slope: 0 UnderEco: Terrain Ecosistema4: Name: Shrubs Class: Low Veg Density: 40 Height: 8 Elev Line: 3000 Rel El Eff: -2 Max Slope: 20 Min Slope : 5 UnderEco: Terrain Ecosistema5: Name: Terrain Class: Ground Density: 100 UnderEco: Terrain </pre> Now we need to identify an intermediate ecosystem that guarantees a smooth transition between all, therefore we select as Understory Ecosystem the one called Terrain in all ecosystems, except Snow and Water . Now we need to 'emerge' the Colorado River in the Canyon and we can do this by raising the sea level to 900 (Sea Level) in the Ecosystem called Water. Please note that the order of the ecosystem list gives priority to those that come after. So our list must have the following order: Water, Snow, Shrubs, RockIncl, RockBase, Terrain. It is possible to carry out all movements with the Swap button at the bottom. To put order you can also press Short List. Press Keep to confirm all the work done so far with Ecosystem Editor. Remember every now and then to save both the Project 'Modules/Save' and 'Parameter/Save All' EcoModels are made up of .etp .fgp .iff8 for each model Color Editor Now it's time to define the colors of our scene and we can do this by going to Modules and then Color Editor. In the list we focus on our ecosystems, created first. Let's go to the bottom of the list and select the first white space, assigning the name 'empty1', with a color we like and then we will find this element again in other environments... It could serve as an example for other situations! So we move to 'grass' which already exists and assign the following colors: R 60 G 70 B50 <pre> 'shrubs': R 60 G 80 B 30 'RockIncl' R 110 G 65 B 60 'RockBase' R 110 G 80 B 80 ' Terrain' R 150 G 30 B 30 <pre> Now we can work on pre-existing colors <pre> 'SunLight' R 150 G 130 B 130 'Haze and Fog' R 190 G 170 B 170 'Horizon' R 209 G 185 B 190 'Zenith' R 140 G 150 B 200 'Water' R 90 G 125 B 170 </pre> Ambient R 0 G 0 B 0 So don't forget to close Color Editor by pressing Keep. Go once again to Ecosystem Editor and assign the corresponding color to each environment by selecting it using the Ecosystem Color button. Press it several times until the correct one appears. Then save the project and parameters again, as done previously. Motion Editor Now it's time to take care of the framing, so let's go to Modules and then to Motion Editor. An extremely feature-rich window will open. Following is the list of parameters regarding the Camera, position and other characteristics: <pre> -Camera Altitude: 7.0 -Camera Latitude: 36.075 -Camera Longitude: 112.133 -Focus Attitude: -2.0 -Focus Latitude: 36.275 -Focus Longitude: 112.386 -Camera : 512 → rendering window -Camera Y: 384 → rendering window -View Arc: 80 → View width in degrees -Sun Longitude: 172 -Sun Latitude: -0.9 -Haze Start: 3.8 -Haze Range: 78, 5 </pre> As soon as the values ​​shown in the relevant sliders have been modified, we will be ready to open the CamView window to observe the wireframe preview. Let's not consider all the controls that will appear. Well from the Motion Editor if you have selected Camera Altitude and open the CamView panel, you can change the height of the camera by holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse up and down. To update the view, press the Terrain button in the adjacent window. As soon as you are convinced of the position, confirm again with Keep. You can carry out the same work with the other functions of the camera, such as Focus Altitude... Let's now see the next positioning step on the Camera map, but let's leave the CamView preview window open while we go to Modules to open the window at the same time MapView. We will thus be able to take advantage of the view from the other together with a subjective one. From the MapView window, select with the left mouse button and while it is pressed, move the Camera as desired. To update the subjective preview, always click on Terrain. While with the same procedure you can intervene on the direction of the camera lens, by selecting the cross and with the left button pressed you can choose the desired view. So with the pressure of Terrain I update the Preview. Possibly can enlarge or reduce the Map View using the Zoom button, for greater precision. Also write that the circle around the cameras indicates the beginning of the haze, there are two types (haze and fog) linked to the altitude. Would also add that the camera height is editable through the Motion Editor panel. The sun Let's see that changing the position of the sun from the Motion Editor. Press the SUN button at the bottom right and set the time and the date. Longitude and latitude are automatically obtained by the program. Always open the View Arc command from the Motion Editor panel, an item present in the Parameter List box. Once again confirm everything with Keep and then save again. Animation The animation part is not left-back and also occupies a window. The settings possibilities are enormous. A time line with dragging functions ("slide", "drag"...) comparable to that of LightWave completes this window. A small window is available for positioning the stars as a function of a date, in order to vary the seasons and their various events (and yes...). At the bottom of the "Motion-Editor", a "cam-view" function will give you access to a control panel. Different preview modes are possible. The rendering is also accessible through a window. No less than nine pages compose it. At this level, you will be able to determine the backup name of your images ("path"), the type of texture to be calculated, the resolution of the images, activate or deactivate functions such as the depth buffer ("zbuffer"), the blur, the background image, etc. Once all these parameters have been set, all you have to do is click on the "Render" button. For rendering go to Modules and then Render. Select the resolution, then under IMA select the name of the image. Move to FRA and indicate the level of fractal detail which of 4 is quite good. Then Keep to confirm and then reopen the window, pressing Render you will see the result. The image will be opened with any viewing program. Strengths: * Multi-window. * Quality of rendering. * Accuracy. * Opening, preview and rendering on CyberGraphX screen. * Extract / Convert Interp DEM, Import DLG, DXF, WDB and export LW map 3d formats * The "zbuffer" function. Weaknesses: * No OpenGL management * Calculation time. * No network computing tool. ====Writing CD / DVD - Frying Pan==== Can be backup DVDs (4GB ISO size limit due to use of FileInfoBlock), create audio cds from mp3's, and put .iso files on discs If using for the first time - click Drive button and Device set to ata.device and unit to 0 (zero) Click Tracks Button - Drive 1 - Create New Disc or Import Existing Disc Image (iso bin/cue etc.) - Session File open cue file If you're making a data cd, with files and drawers from your hard drive, you should be using the ISO Builder.. which is the MUI page on the left. ("Data/Audio Tracks" is on the right). You should use the "Data/Audio tracks" page if you want to create music cds with AIFF/WAV/MP3 files, or if you download an .iso file, and you want to put it on a cd. Click WRITE Button - set write speed - click on long Write button Examples Easiest way would be to burn a DATA CD, simply go to "Tracks" page "ISO Builder" and "ADD" everything you need to burn. On the "Write" page i have "Masterize Disc (DAO)", "Close Disc" and "Eject after Write" set. One must not "Blank disc before write" if one uses a CDR AUDIO CD from MP3's are as easy but tricky to deal with. FP only understands one MP3 format, Layer II, everything else will just create empty tracks Burning bootable CD's works only with .iso files. Go to "Tracks" page and "Data/Audio Tracks" and add the .iso ====odf==== Every ODF file is a collection of several subdocuments within a package (ZIP file), each of which stores part of the complete document. * content.xml – Document content and automatic styles used in the content. * styles.xml – Styles used in the document content and automatic styles used in the styles themselves. * meta.xml – Document meta information, such as the author or the time of the last save action. * settings.xml – Application-specific settings, such as the window size or printer information. To read document follow these steps: * Extracting .ods file. * Getting content.xml file (which contains sheets data). * Creating XmlDocument object from content.xml file. * Creating DataSet (that represent Spreadsheet file). * With XmlDocument select “table:table” elements, and then create adequate DataTables. * Parse child’s of “table:table” element and fill DataTables with those data. * At the end, return DataSet and show it in application’s interface. To write document follow these steps: * Extracting template.ods file (.ods file that we use as template). * Getting content.xml file. * Creating XmlDocument object from content.xml file. * Erasing all “table:table” elements from the content.xml file. * Reading data from our DataSet and composing adequate “table:table” elements. * Adding “table:table” elements to content.xml file. * Zipping that file as new .ods file. XLS file format The XLS file format contains streams, substreams, and records. These sheet substreams include worksheets, macro sheets, chart sheets, dialog sheets, and VBA module sheets. All the records in an XLS document start with a 2-byte unsigned integer to specify Record Type (rt), and another for Count of Bytes (cb). A record cannot exceed 8224 bytes. If larger than the rest is stored in one or more continue records. * Workbook stream **Globals substream ***BoundSheet8 record - info for Worksheet substream i.e. name, location, type, and visibility. (4bytes the lbPlyPos FilePointer, specifies the position in the Workbook stream where the sheet substream starts) **Worksheet substream (sheet) - Cell Table - Row record - Cells (2byte=row 2byte=column 2byte=XF format) ***Blank cell record ***RK cell record 32-bit number. ***BoolErr cell record (2-byte Bes structure that may be either a Boolean value or an error code) ***Number cell record (64-bit floating-point number) ***LabelSst cell record (4-byte integer that specifies a string in the Shared Strings Table (SST). Specifically, the integer corresponds to the array index in the RGB field of the SST) ***Formula cell record (FormulaValue structure in the 8 bytes that follow the cell structure. The next 6 bytes can be ignored, and the rest of the record is a CellParsedFormula structure that contains the formula itself) ***MulBlank record (first 2 bytes give the row, and the next 2 bytes give the column that the series of blanks starts at. Next, a variable length array of cell structures follows to store formatting information, and the last 2 bytes show what column the series of blanks ends on) ***MulRK record ***Shared String Table (SST) contains all of the string values in the workbook.

By whatever method get the files off your Amiga onto your PC. In the YAM folder you have a number of different folders, one for each of your folders in YAM. Inside that is a file usually some numbers such as 332423.283. YAM created a new file for every single email you received. 2. Open up a brand new Outlook Express. Just configure the account to use 127.0.0.1 as mail servers. It doesn't really matter. You will need to manually create any subfolders you used in YAM. 3. You will need to do a mass rename on all your email files from YAM. Just add a .eml to the end of it. Amazing how PCs still rely mostly on the file name so it knows what sort of file it is rather than just looking at it! There are a number of multiple renamers online to download and free too. 4. Go into each of your folders, inbox, sent items etc. And do a select all then drag the files into Outlook Express (to the relevant folder obviously) Amazingly the file format that YAM used is very compatible with .eml standard and viola your emails appear. With correct dates and working attachments. 5. If you want your email into Microsoft Outlook. Open that up and create a new profile and a new blank PST file. Then go into File Import and choose to import from Outlook Express. And the mail will go into there. And viola.. you have your old email from your Amiga in a more modern day format. ===FTP=== Magellan has a great FTP module. It allows transferring files from/to a FTP server over the Internet or the local network and, even if FTP is perceived as a "thing of the past", its usability is all inside the client. The FTP thing has a nice side effect too, since every Icaros machine can be a FTP server as well, and our files can be easily transferred from an Icaros machine to another with a little configuration effort. First of all, we need to know the 'server' IP address. Server is the Icaros machine with the file we are about to download on another Icaros machine, that we're going to call 'client'. To do that, move on the server machine and 1) run Prefs/Services to be sure "FTP file transfer" is enabled (if not, enable it and restart Icaros); 2) run a shell and enter this command: ifconfig -a Make a note of the IP address for the network interface used by the local area network. For cabled devices, it usually is net0:. Now go on the client machine and run Magellan: Perform these actions: 1) click on FTP; 2) click on ADDRESS BOOK; 3) click on "New". You can now add a new entry for your Icaros server machine: 1) Choose a name for your server, in order to spot it immediately in the address book. Enter the IP address you got before. 2) click on Custom Options: 1) go to Miscellaneous in the left menu; 2) Ensure "Passive Transfers" is NOT selected; 3) click on Use. We need to deactivate Passive Transfers because YAFS, the FTP server included in Icaros, only allows active transfers at the current stage. Now, we can finally connect to our new file source: 1) Look into the address book for the newly introduced server, be sure that name and IP address are right, and 2) click on Connect. A new lister with server's "MyWorkspace" contents will appear. You can now transfer files over the network choosing a destination among your local (client's) volumes. Can be adapted to any FTP client on any platform of your choice, just be sure your client allows Active Transfers as well. ===IRC Internet Relay Chat=== Jabberwocky is ideal for one-to-one social media communication, use IRC if you require one to many. Just type a message in ''lowercase''' letters and it will be posted to all in the [ AROS irc channel]. Please do not use UPPER CASE as it is a sign of SHOUTING which is annoying.

The two ways to access chat from jabberwocky <pre > Jabberwocky -> Server -> XMPP -> open and ad-free Jabberwocky -> Server -> Transports (Gateways) -> Proprietary closed systems </pre > The Jabber.org service connects with all IM services that use XMPP, the open standard for instant messaging and presence over the Internet. The services we connect with include Google Talk (closed), Live Journal Talk, Nimbuzz, Ovi, and thousands more. However, you can not connect from Jabber.org to proprietary services like AIM, ICQ, MSN, Skype, or Yahoo because they don’t yet use XMPP components (XEP-0114) '''but''' you can use Jabber.com's servers and IM gateways (MSN, ICQ, Yahoo etc.) instead. The best way to use jabberwocky is in conjunction with a public jabber server with '''transports''' to your favorite services, like gtalk, Facebook, yahoo, ICQ, AIM, etc. You have to register with one of the servers, [https://list.jabber.at/ this list] or [http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ another list], [http://xmpp.net/ this security XMPP list], Unfortunately jabberwocky can only connect to one server at a time so it is best to check what services each server offers. If you set it up with separate Facebook and google talk accounts, for example, sometimes you'll only get one or the other. Jabberwocky open a window where the Jabber server part is typed in as well as your Nickname and Password. Jabber ID (JID) identifies you to the server and other users. Once registered the next step is to goto Jabberwocky's "Windows" menu and select the "Agents" option. The "Agents List" window will open. Roster (contacts list) [http://search.wensley.org.uk/ Chatrooms] (MUC) are available File Transfer - can send and receive files through the Jabber service but not with other services like IRC, ICQ, AIM or Yahoo. All you need is an installed webbrowser and OpenURL. Clickable URLs - The message window uses Mailtext.mcc and you can set a URL action in the MUI mailtext prefs like SYS:Utils/OpenURL %s NEWWIN. There is no consistent Skype like (H.323 VoIP) video conferencing available over Jabber. The move from xmpp to Jingle should help but no support on any amiga-like systems at the moment.

This means jabberwocky method below will no longer work. The best thing to do is to create an ID on a public jabber server which has a Facebook gateway. <pre > 1. launch jabberwocky 2. if the login window doesn't appear on launch, select 'account' from the jabberwocky menu 3. your jabber ID will be user@chat.facebook.com where user is your user ID 4. your password is your normal facebook password 5. to save this for next time, click the popup gadget next to the ID field 6. click the 'add' button 7. click the 'close' button 8. click the 'connect' button </pre > you're done. you can also click the 'save as default account' button if you want. jabberwocky configured to auto-connect when launching the program, but you can configure as you like. there is amigaguide documentation included with jabberwocky.

Most of the ICQ Jabber Transports still use an older ICQ protocol. You can only talk one-way to StriCQ using the older Transports. Only the newer ICQv7 Transport lets you talk both ways to StriCQ. Look at the server lists in the first section to check. Register on a Jabber server, e.g. this one works: http://www.jabber.de/ Then login into Jabberwocky with the following login data e.g. xxx@jabber.de / Password: xxx Now add your ICQ account under the window->Agents->"Register". Now Jabberwocky connects via the Jabber.de server with your ICQ account. Yahoo Messenger although yahoo! does not use xmpp protocol, you should be able to use the transport methods to gain access and post your replies MSN early months of 2013 Microsoft will ditch MSN Messenger client and force everyone to use Skype...but MSN protocol and servers will keep working as usual for quite a long time.... Occasionally the Messenger servers have been experiencing problems signing in. You may need to sign in at www.outlook.com and then try again. It may also take multiple tries to sign in. (This also affects you if you’re using Skype.) You have to check each servers' Agents List to see what transports (MSN protocol, ICQ protocol, etc.) are supported or use the list address' provided in the section above. Then register with each transport (IRC, MSN, ICQ, etc.) to which you need access. After registering you can Connect to start chatting. msn.jabber.com/registered should appear in the window. From this [http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/amiga-jabberwocky/message/1378 JW group] guide which helps with this process in a clear, step by step procedure. 1. Sign up on MSN's site for a passport account. This typically involves getting a Hotmail address. 2. Log on to the Jabber server of your choice and do the following: * Select the "Windows/Agents" menu option in Jabberwocky. * Select the MSN Agent from the list presented by the server. * Click the Register button to open a new window asking for: **Username = passort account email address, typically your hotmail address. **Nick = Screen name to be shown to anyone you add to your buddy list. **Password = Password for your passport account/hotmail address. * Click the Register button at the bottom of the new window. 3. If all goes well, you will see the MSN Gateway added to your buddy list. If not, repeat part 2 on another server. Some servers may show MSN in their list of available agents, but have not updated their software for the latest protocols used by MSN. 4. Once you are registered, you can now add people to your buddy list. Note that you need to include the '''msn.''' ahead of the servername so that it knows what gateway agent to use. Some servers may use a slight variation and require '''msg.gate.''' before the server name, so try both to see what works. If my friend's msn was amiga@hotmail.co.uk and my jabber server was @jabber.meta.net.nz.. then amiga'''%'''hotmail.com@'''msn.'''jabber.meta.net.nz or another the trick to import MSN contacts is that you don't type the hotmail URL but the passport URL... e.g. Instead of: goodvibe%hotmail.com@msn.jabber.com You type: goodvibe%passport.com@msn.jabber.com And the thing about importing contacts I'm afraid you'll have to do it by hand, one at the time... Google Talk any XMPP server will work, but you have to add your contacts manually. a google talk user is typically either @gmail.com or @talk.google.com. a true gtalk transport is nice because it brings your contacts to you and (can) also support file transfers to/from google talk users. implement Jingle a set of extensions to the IETF's Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) support ended early 2014 as Google moved to Google+ Hangouts which uses it own proprietary format ===Video Player MPlayer=== Many of the menu features (such as doubling) do not work with the current version of mplayer but using 4:3 mplayer -vf scale=800:600 file.avi 16:9 mplayer -vf scale=854:480 file.avi if you want gui use; mplayer -gui 1 <other params> file.avi <pre > stack 1000000 ; using AspireOS 1.xx ; copy FROM SYS:Extras/Multimedia/MPlayer/ TO RAM:MPlayer ALL CLONE > Nil: ; using Icaros Desktop 1.x ; copy FROM SYS:Tools/MPlayer/ TO RAM:MPlayer ALL CLONE > Nil: ; using Icaros Desktop 2.x ; copy FROM SYS:Utilities/MPlayer/ TO RAM:MPlayer ALL CLONE > Nil: cd RAM:MPlayer run MPlayer -gui > Nil: ;run MPlayer -gui -ao ahi_dev -playlist http://www.radio-paralax.de/listen.pls > Nil: </pre > $ mplayer rtsp://127.0.0.1:554/sample_300kbit.mp4 MPlayer supports multicast streaming, and rtp/rtsp protocols (it might require [http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/ live555 library] to work with some streams).

For photojournalism, documentary, and event coverage, minimal touching is recommended. Stick to Camera Raw for such shots, and limit changes to level adjustment, sharpness, noise reduction, and white balance correction. For fashion or portrait shoots, a large amount of adjustment is allowed and usually ends up far from the original. Skin smoothing, blemish removal, eye touch-ups, etc. are common. Might alter the background a bit to emphasize the subject. Product photography usually requires a lot of sharpening, spot removal, and focus stacking. For landscape shots, best results are achieved by doing the maximum amount of preparation before/while taking the shot. No amount of processing can match timing, proper lighting, correct gear, optimal settings, etc. Excessive post-processing might give you a dramatic shot but best avoided in the long term. * White Balance - Left Amiga or F12 and K and under "Misc color effects" tab with a pull down for White Balance - color temperature also known as AKA tint (movies) or tones (painting) - warm temp raise red reduce green blue - cool raise blue lower red green * Exposure - exposure compensation, highlight/shadow recovery * Noise Reduction - during RAW development or using external software * Lens Corrections - distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberrations * Detail - capture sharpening and local contrast enhancement * Contrast - black point, levels (sliders) and curves tools (F12 and K) * Framing - straighten () and crop (F12 and F) * Refinements - color adjustments and selective enhancements - Left Amiga or F12 and K for RGB and YUV histogram tabs - * Resizing - enlarge for a print or downsize for the web or email (F12 and D) * Output Sharpening - customized for your subject matter and print/screen size White Balance - F12 and K scan your image for a shade which was meant to be white (neutral with each RGB value being equal) like paper or plastic which is in the same light as the subject of the picture.

File formats like .psd (Photoshop file has layers, masks etc. contains edited sensor data. The original sensor data is no longer available) .xcf .raw .hdr Image Picture Formats * low dynamic range (JPEG, PNG, TIFF 8-bit), 16-bit (PPM, TIFF), typically as a 16-bit TIFF in either ProPhoto or AdobeRGB colorspace - TIFF files are also fairly universal – although, if they contain proprietary data, such as Photoshop Adjustment Layers or Smart Filters, making them proprietary. * linear high dynamic range (HDR) images (PFM, [http://www.openexr.com/ ILM .EXR], jpg, [http://aminet.net/util/dtype cr2] (canon tiff based), hdr, NEF, CRW, ARW, MRW, ORF, RAF (Fuji), PEF, DCR, SRF, ERF, DNG files are RAW converted to an Adobe proprietary format - a container that can embed the raw file as well as the information needed to open it) An old version of [http://archives.aros-exec.org/index.php?function=browse&cat=graphics/convert dcraw] There is no single RAW file format. Each camera manufacturer has one or more unique RAW formats. RAW files contain the brightness levels data captured by the camera sensor. This data cannot be modified. A second smaller file, separate XML file, or within a database with instructions for the RAW processor to change exposure, saturation etc. The extra data can be changed but the original sensor data is still there. RAW is technically least compatible. A raw file is high-bit (usually 12 or 14 bits of information) but a camera-generated TIFF file will be usually converted by the camera (compressed, downsampled) to 8 bits. The raw file has no embedded color balance or color space, but the TIFF has both. These three things (smaller bit depth, embedded color balance, and embedded color space) make it so that the TIFF will lose quality more quickly with image adjustments than the raw file. The camera-generated TIFF image is much more like a camera processed JPEG than a raw file. A strong advantage goes to the raw file. The power of RAW files, such as the ability to set any color temperature non-destructively and will contain more tonal values. The principle of preserving the maximum amount of information to as late as possible in the process. The final conversion - which will always effectively represent a "downsampling" - should prevent as much loss as possible. Once you save it as TIFF, you throw away some of that data irretrievably. When saving in the lossy JPEG format, you get tremendous file size savings, but you've irreversibly thrown away a lot of image data. As long as you have the RAW file, original or otherwise, you have access to all of the image data as captured.

If not, you're not balanced. If you have sky you'll see the blue channel further off to the right. RGB is best one to change colours. These elements RGB is a 3-channel format containing data for Red, Green, and Blue in your photo scale between 0 and 255. The area in a picture that appears to be brighter/whiter contains more red color as compared to the area which is relatively darker. Similarly in the green channel the area that appears to be darker contains less amount of green color as compared to the area that appears to be brighter. Similarly in the blue channel the area appears to be darker contains less amount of blue color as compared to the area that appears to be brighter. Brightness luminance histogram also matches the green histogram more than any other color - human eye interprets green better e.g. RGB rough ratio 15/55/30% RGBA (RGB+A, A means alpha channel) . The alpha channel is used for "alpha compositing", which can mostly be associated as "opacity". AROS deals in RGB with two digits for every color (red, green, blue), in ARGB you have two additional hex digits for the alpha channel. The shadows are represented by the left third of the graph. The highlights are represented by the right third. And the midtones are, of course, in the middle. The higher the black peaks in the graph, the more pixels are concentrated in that tonal range (total black area). By moving the black endpoint, which identifies the shadows (darkness) and a white light endpoint (brightness) up and down either sides of the graph, colors are adjusted based on these points. By dragging the central one, can increased the midtones and control the contrast, raise shadows levels, clip or softly eliminate unsafe levels, alter gamma, etc... in a way that is much more precise and creative . RGB Curves * Move left endpoint (black point) up or right endpoint (white point) up brightens * Move left endpoint down or right endpoint down darkens Color Curves * Dragging up on the Red Curve increases the intensity of the reds in the image but * Dragging down on the Red Curve decreases the intensity of the reds and thus increases the apparent intensity of its complimentary color, cyan. Green’s complimentary color is magenta, and blue’s is yellow. <pre> Red <-> Cyan Green <->Magenta Blue <->Yellow </pre> YUV Best option to analyse and pull out statistical elements of any picture (i.e. separate luminance data from color data). The line in Y luma tone box represents the brightness of the image with the point in the bottom left been black, and the point in the top right as white. A low-contrast image has a concentrated clump of values nearer to the center of the graph. By comparison, a high-contrast image has a wider distribution of values across the entire width of the Histogram. A histogram that is skewed to the right would indicate a picture that is a bit overexposed because most of the color data is on the lighter side (increase exposure with higher value F), while a histogram with the curve on the left shows a picture that is underexposed. This is good information to have when using post-processing software because it shows you not only where the color data exists for a given picture, but also where any data has been clipped (extremes on edges of either side): that is, it does not exist and, therefore, cannot be edited. By dragging the endpoints of the line and as well as the central one, can increased the dark/shadows, midtones and light/bright parts and control the contrast, raise shadows levels, clip or softly eliminate unsafe levels, alter gamma, etc... in a way that is much more precise and creative . The U and V chroma parts show color difference components of the image. It’s useful for checking whether or not the overall chroma is too high, and also whether it’s being limited too much Can be used to create a negative image but also With U (Cb), the higher value you are, the more you're on the blue primary color. If you go to the low values then you're on blue complementary color, i.e. yellow. With V (Cr), this is the same principle but with Red and Cyan. e.g. If you push U full blue and V full red, you get magenta. If you push U full yellow and V full Cyan then you get green. YUV simultaneously adds to one side of the color equation while subtracting from the other. using YUV to do color correction can be very problematic because each curve alters the result of each other: the mutual influence between U and V often makes things tricky. You may also be careful in what you do to avoid the raise of noise (which happens very easily). Best results are obtained with little adjustments sunset that looks uninspiring and needs some color pop especially for the rays over the hill, a subtle contrast raise while setting luma values back to the legal range without hard clipping. ====Lunapaint==== Pixel based drawing app with onion-skin animation function Blocking, Shading, Coloring, adding detail <pre> b BRUSH e ERASER alt eyedropper v layer tool z ZOOM / MAGNIFY < > n spc panning m marque q lasso w same color selection / region </pre> <pre> , LM RM v V f filter F . size p , pick color [] last / next color </pre> There is not much missing in Lunapaint to be as good as FlipBook and then you have to take into account that Flipbook is considered to be amongst the best and easiest to use animation software out there. Ok to be honest Flipbook has some nice features that require more heavy work but those aren't so much needed right away, things like camera effects, sound, smart fill, export to different movie file formats etc. Tried Flipbook with my tablet and compared it to Luna. The feeling is the same when sketching. LunaPaint is very responsive/fluent to draw with. Just as Flipbook is, and that responsiveness is something its users have mentioned as one of the positive sides of said software. author was learning MUI. Some parts just have to be rewritten with proper MUI classes before new features can be added. * add [Frame Add] / [Frame Del] * whole animation feature is impossible to use. If you draw 2 color maybe but if you start coloring your cells then you get in trouble * pickup the entire image as a brush, not just a selection ? And consequently remove the brush from memory when one doesn't need it anymore. can pick up a brush and put it onto a new image but cropping isn't possible, nor to load/save brushes. * Undo is something I longed for ages in Lunapaint. * to import into the current layer, other types of images (e.g. JPEG) besides RAW64. * implement graphic tablet features support **GENERAL DRAWING** Miss it very much: UNDO ERASER COLORPICKER - has to show on palette too which color got picked.

It works with my tablet. Sure there's much missing of course but things can always be added over time. So there is great potential in LunaPaint that's for sure.

Note that apps like Audio Evolution need panning, so they will have this problem. # When using AHI Hifi modes, mixing is done in 32-bit and sent as 32-bit data to the driver.

There is unfortunately no app that can handle 24-bit recording. ====Music Mods==== Digital module (mods) trackers are music creation software using samples and sometimes soundfonts, audio plugins (VST, AU or RTAS), MIDI. Generally, MODs are similar to MIDI in that they contain note on/off and other sequence messages that control the mod player. Unlike (most) midi files, however, they also contain sound samples that the sequence information actually plays. MOD files can have many channels (classic amiga mods have 4, corresponding to the inbuilt sound channels), but unlike MIDI, each channel can typically play only one note at once. However, since that note might be a sample of a chord, a drumloop or other complex sound, this is not as limiting as it sounds. Like MIDI, notes will play indefinitely if they're not instructed to end. Most trackers record this information automatically if you play your music in live. If you're using manual note entry, you can enter a note-off command with a keyboard shortcut - usually Caps Lock. In fact when considering file size MOD is not always the best option. Even a dummy song wastes few kilobytes for nothing when a simple SID tune could be few hundreds bytes and not bigger than 64kB. AHX is another small format, AHX tunes are never larger than 64kB excluding comments.

A Track of Note(s) can be collected into a Pattern (section of a song) and these can be given Order to create the whole song. Patience (notes have to be entered one at a time) or playing the bassline on a midi controller (faster - see midi section above). Best approach is to wait until a melody popped into your head. *Up-tempo means the track should be reasonably fast, but not super-fast. *Groovy and funky imply the track should have some sort of "swing" feel, with plenty of syncopation or off beat emphasis and a recognizable, melodic bass line. *Sweet and happy mean upbeat melodies, a major key and avoiding harsh sounds. *Moody - minor key First, create a quick bass sound, which is basically a sine wave, but can be hand drawn for a little more variance. It could also work for the melody part, too. This is usually a bass guitar or some kind of synthesizer bass. The bass line is often forgotten by inexperienced composers, but it plays an important role in a musical piece. Together with the rhythm section the bass line forms the groove of a song. It's the glue between the rhythm section and the melodic layer of a song. The drums are just pink noise samples, played at different frequencies to get a slightly different sound for the kick, snare, and hihats. Instruments that fall into the rhythm category are bass drums, snares, hi-hats, toms, cymbals, congas, tambourines, shakers, etc. Any percussive instrument can be used to form part of the rhythm section. The lead is the instrument that plays the main melody, on top of the chords. There are many instruments that can play a lead section, like a guitar, a piano, a saxophone or a flute. The list is almost endless. There is a lot of overlap with instruments that play chords. Often in one piece an instrument serves both roles. The lead melody is often played at a higher pitch than the chords. Listened back to what was produced so far, and a counter-melody can be imagined, which can be added with a triangle wave. To give the ends of phrases some life, you can add a solo part with a crunchy synth. By hitting random notes in the key of G, then edited a few of them. For the climax of the song, filled out the texture with a gentle high-pitch pad… …and a grungy bass synth. The arrow at A points at the pattern order list. As you see, the patterns don't have to be in numerical order. This song starts with pattern "00", then pattern "02", then "03", then "01", etcetera. Patterns may be repeated throughout a song. The B arrow points at the song title. Below it are the global BPM and speed parameters. These determine the tempo of the song, unless the tempo is altered through effect commands during the song. The C arrow points at the list of instruments. An instrument may consist of multiple samples. Which sample will be played depends on the note. This can be set in the Instrument Editing screen. Most instruments will consist of just one sample, though. The sample list for the selected instrument can be found under arrow D. Here's a part of the main editing screen. This is where you put in actual notes. Up to 32 channels can be used, meaning 32 sounds can play simultaneously. The first six channels of pattern "03" at order "02" are shown here. The arrow at A points at the row number. The B arrow points at the note to play, in this case a C4. The column pointed at by the C arrow tells us which instrument is associated with that note, in this case instrument #1 "Kick". The column at D is used (mainly) for volume commands. In this case it is left empty which means the instrument should play at its default volume. You can see the volume column being used in channel #6. The E column tells us which effect to use and any parameters for that effect. In this case it holds the "F" effect, which is a tempo command. The "04" means it should play at tempo 4 (a smaller number means faster). Base pattern When I create a new track I start with what I call the base pattern. It is worthwhile to spend some time polishing it as a lot of the ideas in the base pattern will be copied and used in other patterns. At least, that's how I work. Every musician will have his own way of working. In "Wild Bunnies" the base pattern is pattern "03" at order "02". In the section about selecting samples I talked about the four different categories of instruments: drums, bass, chords and leads. That's also how I usually go about making the base pattern. I start by making a drum pattern, then add a bass line, place some chords and top it off with a lead. This forms the base pattern from which the rest of the song will grow. Drums Here's a screenshot of the first four rows of the base pattern. I usually reserve the first four channels or so for the drum instruments. Right away there are a couple of tricks shown here. In the first channel the kick, or bass drum, plays some notes. Note the alternating F04 and F02 commands. The "F" command alters the tempo of the song and by quickly alternating the tempo; the song will get some kind of "swing" feel. In the second channel the closed hi-hat plays a fairly simple pattern. Further down in the channel, not shown here, some open hi-hat notes are added for a bit of variation. In the third and fourth channel the snare sample plays. The "8" command is for panning. One note is panned hard to the left and the other hard to the right. One sample is played a semitone lower than the other. This results in a cool flanging effect. It makes the snare stand out a little more in the mix. Bass line There are two different instruments used for the bass line. Instrument #6 is a pretty standard synthesized bass sound. Instrument #A sounds a bit like a slap bass when used with a quick fade out. By using two different instruments the bass line sounds a bit more ”human”. The volume command is used to cut off the notes. However, it is never set to zero. Setting the volume to a very small value will result in a reverb-like effect. This makes the song sound more "live". The bass line hints at the chords that will be played and the key the song will be in. In this case the key of the song is D-major, a positive and happy key. Chords The D major chords that are being played here are chords stabs; short sounds with a quick decay (fade out). Two different instruments (#8 and #9) are used to form the chords. These instruments are quite similar, but have a slightly different sound, panning and volume decay. Again, the reason for this is to make the sound more human. The volume command is used on some chords to simulate a delay, to achieve more of a live feel. The chords are placed off-beat making for a funky rhythm. Lead Finally the lead melody is added. The other instruments are invaluable in holding the track together, but the lead melody is usually what catches people's attention. A lot of notes and commands are used here, but it looks more complex than it is. A stepwise ascending melody plays in channel 13. Channel 14 and 15 copy this melody, but play it a few rows later at a lower volume. This creates an echo effect. A bit of panning is used on the notes to create some stereo depth. Like with the bass line, instead of cutting off notes the volume is set to low values for a reverb effect. The "461" effect adds a little vibrato to the note, which sounds nice on sustained notes. Those paying close attention may notice the instrument used here for the lead melody is the same as the one used for the bass line (#6 "Square"), except played two or three octaves higher. This instrument is a looped square wave sample. Each type of wave has its own quirks, but the square wave (shown below) is a really versatile wave form. Song structure Good, catchy songs are often carefully structured into sections, some of which are repeated throughout the song with small variations. A typical pop-song structure is: Intro - Verse - Chorus - Verse - Chorus - Bridge - Chorus. Other single sectional song structures are <pre> Strophic or AAA Song Form - oldest story telling with refrain (often title of the song) repeated in every verse section melody AABA Song Form - early popular, jazz and gospel fading during the 1960s AB or Verse/Chorus Song Form - songwriting format of choice for modern popular music since the 1960s Verse/Chorus/Bridge Song Form ABAB Song Form ABAC Song Form ABCD Song Form AAB 12-Bar Song Form - three four-bar lines or sub-sections 8-Bar Song Form 16-Bar Song Form Hybrid / Compound Song Forms </pre> The most common building blocks are: #INTRODUCTION(INTRO) #VERSE #REFRAIN #PRE-CHORUS / RISE / CLIMB #CHORUS #BRIDGE #MIDDLE EIGHT #SOLO / INSTRUMENTAL BREAK #COLLISION #CODA / OUTRO #AD LIB (OFTEN IN CODA / OUTRO) The chorus usually has more energy than the verse and often has a memorable melody line. As the chorus is repeated the most often during the song, it will be the part that people will remember. The bridge often marks a change of direction in the song. It is not uncommon to change keys in the bridge, or at least to use a different chord sequence. The bridge is used to build up tension towards the big finale, the last repetition of chorus.

Input a note, then move the cursor to the effects command column and type a C. Play the pattern, and you shouldn't be able to hear the note you placed the C by. This is because the effect parameters are 00. Change the two zeros to a 40(Hex)/64(Dec), depending on what your tracker uses. Play back the pattern again, and the note should come in at full volume. The Position Jump command next. This is just a B followed by the position in the playing list that you want to jump to. One thing to remember is that the playing list always starts at 0, not 1. This command is usually in Hex. Onto the volume slide command: A. This is slightly more complex (much more if you're using a newer tracker, if you want to achieve the results here, then set slides to Amiga, not linear), due to the fact it depends on the secondary tempo. For now set a secondary tempo of 06 (you can play around later), load a long or looped sample and input a note or two. A few rows after a note type in the effect command A. For the parameters use 0F. Play back the pattern, and you should notice that when the effect kicks in, the sample drops to a very low volume very quickly. Change the effect parameters to F0, and use a low volume command on the note. Play back the pattern, and when the slide kicks in the volume of the note should increase very quickly. This because each part of the effect parameters for command A does a different thing. The first number slides the volume up, and the second slides it down. It's not recommended that you use both a volume up and volume down at the same time, due to the fact the tracker only looks for the first number that isn't set to 0. If you specify parameters of 8F, the tracker will see the 8, ignore the F, and slide the volume up. Using a slide up and down at same time just makes you look stupid. Don't do it... The Set Tempo command: F, is pretty easy to understand. You simply specify the BPM (in Hex) that you want to change to. One important thing to note is that values of lower than 20 (Hex) sets the secondary tempo rather than the primary. Another useful command is the Pattern Break: D. This will stop the playing of the current pattern and skip to the next one in the playing list. By using parameters of more than 00 you can also specify which line to begin playing from. Command 3 is Portamento to Note. This slides the currently playing note to another note, at a specified speed. The slide then stops when it reaches the desired note. <pre> C-2 1 000 - Starts the note playing --- 000 C-3 330 - Starts the slide to C-3 at a speed of 30. --- 300 - Continues the slide --- 300 - Continues the slide </pre> Once the parameters have been set, the command can be input again without any parameters, and it'll still perform the same function unless you change the parameters. This memory function allows certain commands to function correctly, such as command 5, which is the Portamento to Note and Volume Slide command. Once command 3 has been set up command 5 will simply take the parameters from that and perform a Portamento to Note. Any parameters set up for command 5 itself simply perform a Volume Slide identical to command A at the same time as the Portamento to Note. This memory function will only operate in the same channel where the original parameters were set up. There are various other commands which perform two functions at once. They will be described as we come across them. C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 02 C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 05 C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 08 C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 0A C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 0D C-3 04 .. .. 09 10 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 10 (You can also switch on the Slider Rec to On, and perform parameter-live-recording, such as cutoff transitions, resonance or panning tweaking, etc..) Note: this command only works for volume/panning and fx datas columns. The next command we'll look at is the Portamento up/down: 1 and 2. Command 1 slides the pitch up at a specified speed, and 2 slides it down. This command works in a similar way to the volume slide, in that it is dependent on the secondary tempo. Both these commands have a memory dependent on each other, if you set the slide to a speed of 3 with the 1 command, a 2 command with no parameters will use the speed of 3 from the 1 command, and vice versa. Command 4 is Vibrato. Vibrato is basically rapid changes in pitch, just try it, and you'll see what I mean. Parameters are in the format of xy, where x is the speed of the slide, and y is the depth of the slide. One important point to remember is to keep your vibratos subtle and natural so a depth of 3 or less and a reasonably fast speed, around 8, is usually used. Setting the depth too high can make the part sound out of tune from the rest. Following on from command 4 is command 6. This is the Vibrato and Volume Slide command, and it has a memory like command 5, which you already know how to use. Command 7 is Tremolo. This is similar to vibrato. Rather than changing the pitch it slides the volume. The effect parameters are in exactly the same format. vibrato effect (0x1dxy) x = speed y = depth (can't be used if arpeggio (0x1b) is turned on) <pre> C-7 00 .. .. 1B37 <- Turn Arpeggio effect on --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 1B38 <- Change datas --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 1B00 <- Turn it off </pre> Command 9 is Sample Offset. This starts the playback of the sample from a different place than the start. The effect parameters specify the sample offset, but only very roughly. Say you have a sample which is 8765(Hex) bytes long, and you wanted it to play from position 4321(Hex). The effect parameter could only be as accurate as the 43 part, and it would ignore the 21. Command B is the Playing List/Order Jump command. The parameters specify the position in the Playing List/Order to jump to. When used in conjunction with command D you can specify the position and the line to play from. Command E is pretty complex, as it is used for a lot of different things, depending on what the first parameter is. Let's take a trip through each effect in order. Command E0 controls the hardware filter on an Amiga, which, as a low pass filter, cuts off the highest frequencies being played back. There are very few players and trackers on other system that simulate this function, not that you should need to use it. The second parameter, if set to 1, turns on the filter. If set to 0, the filter gets turned off. Commands E1/E2 are Fine Portamento Up/Down. Exactly the same functions as commands 1/2, except that they only slide the pitch by a very small amount. These commands have a memory the same as 1/2 as well. Command E3 sets the Glissando control. If parameters are set to 1 then when using command 3, any sliding will only use the notes in between the original note and the note being slid to. This produces a somewhat jumpier slide than usual. The best way to understand is to try it out for yourself. Produce a slow slide with command 3, listen to it, and then try using E31. Command E4 is the Set Vibrato Waveform control. This command controls how the vibrato command slides the pitch. Parameters are 0 - Sine, 1 - Ramp Down (Saw), 2 - Square. By adding 4 to the parameters, the waveform will not be restarted when a new note is played e.g. 5 - Sine without restart. Command E5 sets the Fine Tune of the instrument being played, but only for the particular note being played. It will override the default Fine Tune for the instrument. The parameters range from 0 to F, with 0 being -8 and F being +8 Fine Tune. A parameter of 8 gives no Fine Tune. If you're using a newer tracker that supports more than -8 to +8 e.g. -128 to +128, these parameters will give a rough Fine Tune, accurate to the nearest 16. Command E6 is the Jump Loop command. You mark the beginning of the part of a pattern that you want to loop with E60, and then specify with E6x the end of the loop, where x is the number of times you want it to loop. Command E7 is the Set Tremolo Waveform control. This has exactly the same parameters as command E4, except that it works for Tremolo rather than Vibrato. Command E9 is for Retriggering the note quickly. The parameter specifies the interval between the retrigs. Use a value of less than the current secondary tempo, or else the note will not get retrigged. Command EA/B are for Fine Volume Slide Up/Down. Much the same as the normal Volume Slides, except that these are easier to control since they don't depend on the secondary tempo. The parameters specify the amount to slide by e.g. if you have a sample playing at a volume of 08 (Hex) then the effect EA1 will slide this volume to 09 (Hex). A subsequent effect of EB4 would slide this volume down to 05 (Hex). Command EC is the Note Cut. This sets the volume of the currently playing note to 0 at a specified tick. The parameters should be lower than the secondary tempo or else the effect won't work. Command ED is the Note Delay. This should be used at the same time as a note is to be played, and the parameters will specify the number of ticks to delay playing the note. Again, keep the parameters lower than the secondary tempo, or the note won't get played! Command EE is the Pattern Delay. This delays the pattern for the amount of time it would take to play a certain number of rows. The parameters specify how many rows to delay for. Command EF is the Funk Repeat command. Set the sample loop to 0-1000. When EFx is used, the loop will be moved to 1000- 2000, then to 2000-3000 etc. After 9000-10000 the loop is set back to 0- 1000. The speed of the loop "movement" is defined by x. E is two times as slow as F, D is three times as slow as F etc. EF0 will turn the Funk Repeat off and reset the loop (to 0-1000). effects 0x41 and 0x42 to control the volumes of the 2 303 units There is a dedicated panel for synth parameter editing with coherent sections (osc, filter modulation, routing, so on) the interface is much nicer, much better to navigate with customizable colors, the reverb is now customizable (10 delay lines), It accepts newer types of Waves (higher bit rates, at least 24). Has a replay routine. It's pretty much your basic VA synth. The problem isn't with the sampler being to high it's the synth is tuned two octaves too low, but if you want your samples tuned down just set the base note down 2 octaves (in the instrument panel). so the synth is basically divided into 3 sections from left to right: oscillators/envelopes, then filter and LFO's, and in the right column you have mod routings and global settings. for the oscillator section you have two normal oscillators (sine, saw, square, noise), the second of which is tunable, the first one tunes with the key pressed. Attached to OSC 1 is a sub-oscillator, which is a sawtooth wave tuned one octave down. The phase modulation controls the point in the duty cycle at which the oscillator starts. The ADSR envelope sliders (grouped with oscs) are for modulation envelope 1 and 2 respectively. you can use the synth as a sampler by choosing the instrument at the top. In the filter column, the filter settings are: 1 = lowpass, 2 = highpass, 3 = off. cutoff and resonance. For the LFOs they are LFO 1 and LFO 2, the ADSR sliders in those are for the LFO itself. For the modulation routings you have ENV 1, LFO 1 for the first slider and ENV 2, LFO 2 for the second, you can cycle through the individual routings there, and you can route each modulation source to multiple destinations of course, which is another big plus for this synth. Finally the glide time is for portamento and master volume, well, the master volume... it can go quite loud. The sequencer is changed too, It's more like the one in AXS if you've used that, where you can mute tracks to re-use patterns with variation. <pre> Support for the following modules formats: 669 (Composer 669, Unis 669), AMF (DSMI Advanced Module Format), AMF (ASYLUM Music Format V1.0), APUN (APlayer), DSM (DSIK internal format), FAR (Farandole Composer), GDM (General DigiMusic), IT (Impulse Tracker), IMF (Imago Orpheus), MOD (15 and 31 instruments), MED (OctaMED), MTM (MultiTracker Module editor), OKT (Amiga Oktalyzer), S3M (Scream Tracker 3), STM (Scream Tracker), STX (Scream Tracker Music Interface Kit), ULT (UltraTracker), UNI (MikMod), XM (FastTracker 2), Mid (midi format via timidity) </pre> Possible plugin options include [http://lv2plug.in/ LV2], ====Midi - Musical Instrument Digital Interface==== A midi file typically contains music that plays on up to 16 channels (as per the midi standard), but many notes can simultaneously play on each channel (depending on the limit of the midi hardware playing it).

Bars and Pipes Pro 2.5 is using internal 4-Byte IDs, to check which kind of data are currently processed. Especially in all its files the IDs play an important role. The IDs are stored into the file in the same order they are laid out in the memory. In a Bars 'N' Pipes file (no matter which kind) the ID "NAME" (saved as its ANSI-values) is stored on a big endian system (68k-computer) as "NAME". On a little endian system (x86 PC computer) as "EMAN". The target is to make the AROS-BnP compatible to songs, which were stored on a 68k computer (AMIGA).

Would it be possible to enrich Bars N’Pipes with software synth and sample support along with audio recording and mastering tools like in the named MAC or PC music sequencers? On the classic AMIGA-OS this is not possible because of missing CPU-power. The hardware of the classic AMIGA is not further developed. So we must say (unfortunately) that those dreams can’t become reality BarsnPipes is best used with external MIDI-equipment. This can be a keyboard or synthesizer with MIDI-connectors. <pre> MIDI can control 16 channels There are USB-MIDI-Interfaces on the market with 16 independent MIDI-lines (multi-port), which can handle 16 MIDI devices independently – 16×16 = 256 independent MIDI-channels or instruments handle up to 16 different USB-MIDI-Interfaces (multi-device).

First of all, midi in & out capabilities of this program are rather limited. # Go to Misc. Setup section and select a midi in or out device to use (ptk only supports one device at a time). # Go to instrument section, and select a MIDI PRG (the default is N/A, which means no midi program selected). # Go to track section and here you can assign a midi channel to each track of ptk. # Play notes :]. Note off works. F'x' note cut command also works too, and note-volume command (speed) is supported. Also, you can change midicontrollers in the tracker, using '90' in the panning row: <pre> C-3 02 .. .. 0000.... --- .. .. 90 xxyy.... << This will set the value --- .. .. .. 0000.... of the controller n.'xx' to 'yy' (both in hex) --- .. .. .. 0000.... </pre> So "--- .. .. 90 2040...." will set the controller number $20(32) to $40(64). You will need the midi implementation table of your gear to know what you can change with midi controller messages. N.B. Not all MIDI devices are created equal! Although the MIDI specification defines a large range of MIDI messages of various kinds, not every MIDI device is required to work in exactly the same way and respond to all the available messages and ways of working. For example, we don't expect a wind synthesiser to work in the same way as a home keyboard. Some devices, the older ones perhaps, are only able to respond to a single channel. With some of those devices that channel can be altered from the default of 1 (probably) to another channel of the 16 possible. Other devices, for instance monophonic synthesisers, are capable of producing just one note at a time, on one MIDI channel. Others can produce many notes spread across many channels. Further devices can respond to, and transmit, "breath controller" data (MIDI controller number 2 (CC#2)) others may respond to the reception of CC#2 but not be able to create and to send it. A controller keyboard may be capable of sending "expression pedal" data, but another device may not be capable of responding to that message. Some devices just have the basic GM sound set. The "voice" or "instrument" is selected using a "Program Change" message on its own. Other devices have a greater selection of voices, usually arranged in "banks", and the choice of instrument is made by responding to "Bank Select MSB" (MIDI controller 0 (CC#0)), others use "Bank Select LSB" (MIDI controller number 32 (CC#32)), yet others use both MSB and LSB sent one after the other, all followed by the Program Change message. The detailed information about all the different voices will usually be available in a published MIDI Data List. MIDI Implementation Chart But in the User Manual there is sometimes a summary of how the device works, in terms of MIDI, in the chart at the back of the manual, the MIDI Implementation Chart. If you require two devices to work together you can compare the two implementation charts to see if they are "compatible". In order to do this we will need to interpret that chart. The chart is divided into four columns headed "Function", "Transmitted" (or "Tx"), "Received" (or "Rx"), or more correctly "Recognised", and finally, "Remarks". <pre> The left hand column defines which MIDI functions are being described. The 2nd column defines what the device in question is capable of transmitting to another device. The 3rd column defines what the device is capable of responding to. The 4th column is for explanations of the values contained within these previous two columns. </pre> There should then be twelve sections, with possibly a thirteenth containing extra "Notes". Finally there should be an explanation of the four MIDI "modes" and what the "X" and the "O" mean. <pre> Mode 1: Omni On, Poly; Mode 2: Omni On, Mono; Mode 3: Omni Off, Poly; Mode 4: Omni Off, Mono. </pre> O means "yes" (implemented), X means "no" (not implemented). Sometimes you will find a row of asterisks "**************", these seem to indicate that the data is not applicable in this case. Seen in the transmitted field only (unless you've seen otherwise). Lastly you may find against some entries an asterisk followed by a number e.g. *1, these will refer you to further information, often on a following page, giving more detail. Basic Channel But the very first set of boxes will tell us the "Basic Channel(s)" that the device sends or receives on. "Default" is what happens when the device is first turned on, "changed" is what a switch of some kind may allow the device to be set to. For many devices e.g. a GM sound module or a home keyboard, this would be 1-16 for both. That is it can handle sending and receiving on all MIDI channels. On other devices, for example a synthesiser, it may by default only work on channel 1. But the keyboard could be "split" with the lower notes e.g. on channel 2. If the synth has an arppegiator, this may be able to be set to transmit and or receive on yet another channel. So we might see the default as "1" but the changed as "1-16". Modes. We need to understand Omni On and Off, and Mono and Poly, then we can decipher the four modes. But first we need to understand that any of these four Mode messages can be sent to any MIDI channel. They don't necessarily apply to the whole device. If we send an "Omni On" message (CC#125) to a MIDI channel of a device, we are, in effect, asking it to respond to e.g. a Note On / Off message pair, received on any of the sixteen channels. Sound strange? Read it again. Still strange? It certainly is. We normally want a MIDI channel to respond only to Note On / Off messages sent on that channel, not any other. In other words, "Omni Off". So "Omni Off" (CC#124) tells a channel of our MIDI device to respond only to messages sent on that MIDI channel. "Poly" (CC#127) is for e.g. a channel of a polyphonic sound module, or a home keyboard, to be able to respond to many simultaneous Note On / Off message pairs at once and produce musical chords. "Mono" (CC#126) allows us to set a channel to respond as if it were e.g. a flute or a trumpet, playing just one note at a time. If the device is capable of it, then the overlapping of notes will produce legato playing, that is the attack portion of the second note of two overlapping notes will be removed resulting in a "smoother" transition. So a channel with a piano voice assigned to it will have Omni Off, Poly On (Mode 3), a channel with a saxophone voice assigned could be Omni Off, Mono On (Mode 4). We call these combinations the four modes, 1 to 4, as defined above. Most modern devices will have their channels set to Mode 3 (Omni Off, Poly) but be switchable, on a per channel basis, to Mode 4 (Omni Off, Mono). This second section of data will include first its default value i.e. upon device switch on. Then what Mode messages are acceptable, or X if none. Finally, in the "Altered" field, how a Mode message that can't be implemented will be interpreted. Usually there will just be a row of asterisks effectively meaning nothing will be done if you try to switch to an unimplemented mode. Note Number <pre> The next row will tell us which MIDI notes the device can send or receive, normally 0-127. The second line, "True Voice" has the following in the MIDI specification: "Range of received note numbers falling within the range of true notes produced by the instrument." My interpretation is that, for instance, a MIDI piano may be capable of sending all MIDI notes (0 to 127) by transposition, but only responding to the 88 notes (21 to 108) of a real piano. </pre> Velocity This will tell us whether the device we're looking at will handle note velocity, and what range from 1-127, or maybe just 64, it transmits or will recognise. So usually "O" plus a range or "X" for not implemented. After touch This may have one or two lines two it. If a one liner the either "O" or "X", yes or no. If a two liner then it may include "Keys" or "Poly" and "Channel". This will show whether the device will respond to Polyphonic after touch or channel after touch or neither. Pitch Bend Again "O" for implemented, "X" for not implemented. (Many stage pianos will have no pitch bend capability.) It may also, in the notes section, state whether it will respond to the full 14 bits, or not, as usually encoded by the pitch bend wheel. Control Change This is likely to be the largest section of the chart. It will list all those controllers, starting from CC#0, Bank Select MSB, which the device is capable of sending, and those that it will respond to using "O" or "X" respectively. You will, almost certainly, get some further explanation of functionality in the remarks column, or in more detail elsewhere in the documentation. Of course you will need to know what all the various controller numbers do. Lots of the official technical specifications can be found at the [www.midi.org/techspecs/ MMA], with the table of messages and control change [www.midi.org/techspecs/midimessages.php message numbers] Program Change Again "O" or "X" in the Transmitted or Recognised column to indicate whether or not the feature is implemented. In addition a range of numbers is shown, typically 0-127, to show what is available. True # (number): "The range of the program change numbers which correspond to the actual number of patches selected." System Exclusive Used to indicate whether or not the device can send or recognise System Exclusive messages. A short description is often given in the Remarks field followed by a detailed explanation elsewhere in the documentation. System Common - These include the following: <pre> MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame messages (device synchronisation). Song Position Pointer Song Select Tune Request </pre> The section will indicate whether or not the device can send or respond to any of these messages. System Real Time These include the following: <pre> Timing Clock - often just written as "Clock" Start Stop Continue </pre> These three are usually just referred to as "Commands" and listed. Again the section will indicate which, if any, of these messages the device can send or respond to. <pre> Aux. Messages Again "O" or "X" for implemented or not. Aux. = Auxiliary. Active Sense = Active Sensing. </pre> Often with an explanation of the action of the device. Notes The "Notes" section can contain any additional comments to clarify the particular implementation. Some of the explanations have been drawn directly from the MMA MIDI 1.0 Detailed Specification. And the detailed explanation of some of the functions will be found there, or in the General MIDI System Level 1 or General MIDI System Level 2 documents also published by the MMA. OFFICIAL MIDI SPECIFICATIONS SUMMARY OF MIDI MESSAGES Table 1 - Summary of MIDI Messages The following table lists the major MIDI messages in numerical (binary) order (adapted from "MIDI by the Numbers" by D. Valenti, Electronic Musician 2/88, and updated by the MIDI Manufacturers Association.). This table is intended as an overview of MIDI, and is by no means complete. WARNING! Details about implementing these messages can dramatically impact compatibility with other products. We strongly recommend consulting the official MIDI Specifications for additional information.

This the same code as the Control Change (above), but implements Mode control and special message by using reserved controller numbers 120-127. The commands are: *All Sound Off. When All Sound Off is received all oscillators will turn off, and their volume envelopes are set to zero as soon as possible c = 120, v = 0: All Sound Off *Reset All Controllers.

Local Control On restores the functions of the normal controllers. c = 122, v = 0: Local Control Off c = 122, v = 127: Local Control On * All Notes Off.

They all use the most significant nybble (4bits) of 0xF, with the least significant nybble indicating the specific category. The messages are denoted when the MSB of the second nybble is 1. When that bit is a 0, the messages fall into two other subcategories. System Common If the MSB of the second second nybble (4 bits) is not set, this indicates a System Common message. Most of these are messages that include some additional data bytes. System Common Messages Type Status Byte Number of Data Bytes Usage <pre> Time Code Quarter Frame 0xF1 1 Indicates timing using absolute time code, primarily for synthronization with video playback systems. A single location requires eight messages to send the location in an encoded hours:minutes:seconds:frames format*. Song Position 0xF2 2 Instructs a sequencer to jump to a new position in the song. The data bytes form a 14-bit value that expresses the location as the number of sixteenth notes from the start of the song. Song Select 0xF3 1 Instructs a sequencer to select a new song. The data byte indicates the song. Undefined 0xF4 0 Undefined 0xF5 0 Tune Request 0xF6 0 Requests that the receiver retunes itself**. </pre> *MIDI Time Code (MTC) is significantly complex. Please see the MIDI Specification **While modern digital instruments are good at staying in tune, older analog synthesizers were prone to tuning drift. Some analog synthesizers had an automatic tuning operation that could be initiated with this command. System Exclusive If you’ve been keeping track, you’ll notice there are two status bytes not yet defined: 0xf0 and 0xf7. These are used by the System Exclusive message, often abbreviated at SysEx. SysEx provides a path to send arbitrary data over a MIDI connection. There is a group of predefined messages for complex data, like fine grained control of MIDI Time code machinery. SysEx is also used to send manufacturer defined data, such as patches, or even firmware updates. System Exclusive messages are longer than other MIDI messages, and can be any length. The messages are of the following format: 0xF0, 0xID, 0xdd, ...... 0xF7 The message is bookended with distinct bytes. It opens with the Start Of Exclusive (SOX) data byte, 0xF0. The next one to three bytes after the start are an identifier. Values from 0x01 to 0x7C are one-byte vendor IDs, assigned to manufacturers who were involved with MIDI at the beginning. If the ID is 0x00, it’s a three-byte vendor ID - the next two bytes of the message are the value. <pre> ID 0x7D is a placeholder for non-commercial entities. ID 0x7E indicates a predefined Non-realtime SysEx message. ID 0x7F indicates a predefined Realtime SysEx message. </pre> After the ID is the data payload, sent as a stream of bytes. The transfer concludes with the End of Exclusive (EOX) byte, 0xF7. The payload data must follow the guidelines for MIDI data bytes – the MSB must not be set, so only 7 bits per byte are actually usable. If the MSB is set, it falls into three possible scenarios. An End of Exclusive byte marks the ordinary termination of the SysEx transfer. System Real Time messages may occur within the transfer without interrupting it. The recipient should handle them independently of the SysEx transfer. Other status bytes implicitly terminate the SysEx transfer and signal the start of new messages. Some inexpensive USB-to-MIDI interfaces aren’t capable of handling messages longer than four bytes. {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="10%" |Status D7----D0 ! width="10%" |Data Byte(s) D7----D0 ! width="20%" |Description |- |<!--Status-->11110000 || <!--Data-->0iiiiiii [0iiiiiii 0iiiiiii] 0ddddddd --- --- 0ddddddd 11110111 || <!--Description-->System Exclusive. This message type allows manufacturers to create their own messages (such as bulk dumps, patch parameters, and other non-spec data) and provides a mechanism for creating additional MIDI Specification messages.

Two of the 1 Byte IDs are reserved for extensions called Universal Exclusive Messages, which are not manufacturer-specific.

While a key is being held down, the player can press harder on the key. The controller measures this, and converts it into MIDI messages. Aftertouch comes in two flavors, with two different status messages. The first flavor is polyphonic aftertouch, where every key on the controller is capable of sending its own independent pressure information. The messages are of the following format: <pre> 0xnc, 0xkk, 0xpp n is the status (0xA) c is the channel nybble kk is the key number (0 to 127) pp is the pressure value (0 to 127) </pre> Polyphonic aftertouch is an uncommon feature, usually found on premium quality instruments, because every key requires a separate pressure sensor, plus the circuitry to read them all. Much more commonly found is channel aftertouch. Instead of needing a discrete sensor per key, it uses a single, larger sensor to measure pressure on all of the keys as a group. The messages omit the key number, leaving a two-byte format <pre> 0xnc, 0xpp n is the status (0xD) c is the channel number pp is the pressure value (0 to 127) </pre> Pitch Bend (0xE0) Many keyboards have a wheel or lever towards the left of the keys for pitch bend control. This control is usually spring-loaded, so it snaps back to the center of its range when released. This allows for both upward and downward bends. Pitch Bend Wheel The wheel sends pitch bend messages, of the format <pre> 0xnc, 0xLL, 0xMM n is the status (0xE) c is the channel number LL is the 7 least-significant bits of the value MM is the 7 most-significant bits of the value </pre> You’ll notice that the bender data is actually 14 bits long, transmitted as two 7-bit data bytes. This means that the recipient needs to reassemble those bytes using binary manipulation. 14 bits results in an overall range of 214, or 0 to 16,383. Because it defaults to the center of the range, the default value for the bender is halfway through that range, at 8192 (0x2000). Control Change (0xB0) In addition to pitch bend, MIDI has provisions for a wider range of expressive controls, sometimes known as continuous controllers, often abbreviated CC. These are transmitted by the remaining knobs and sliders on the keyboard controller shown below. Continuous Controllers These controls send the following message format: <pre> 0xnc, 0xcc, 0xvv n is the status (0xB) c is the MIDI channel cc is the controller number (0-127) vv is the controller value (0-127) </pre> Typically, the wheel next to the bender sends controller number one, assigned to modulation (or vibrato) depth. It is implemented by most instruments. The remaining controller number assignments are another point of confusion. The MIDI specification was revised in version 2.0 to assign uses for many of the controllers. However, this implementation is not universal, and there are ranges of unassigned controllers. On many modern MIDI devices, the controllers are assignable. On the controller keyboard shown in the photos, the various controls can be configured to transmit different controller numbers. Controller numbers can be mapped to particular parameters. Virtual synthesizers frequently allow the user to assign CCs to the on-screen controls. This is very flexible, but it might require configuration on both ends of the link and completely bypasses the assignments in the standard. Program Change (0xC0) Most synthesizers have patch storage memory, and can be told to change patches using the following command: <pre> 0xnc, 0xpp n is the status (0xc) c is the channel pp is the patch number (0-127) </pre> This allows for 128 sounds to be selected, but modern instruments contain many more than 128 patches. Controller #0 is used as an additional layer of addressing, interpreted as a “bank select” command. Selecting a sound on such an instrument might involve two messages: a bank select controller message, then a program change. Audio & Midi are not synchronized, what I can do ? Buy a commercial software package but there is a nasty trick to synchronize both. It's a bit hardcore but works for me: Simply put one line down to all midi notes on your pattern (use Insert key) and go to 'Misc. Setup', adjust the latency and just search a value that will make sound sync both audio/midi. The stock Sin/Saw/Pulse and Rnd waveforms are too simple/common, is there a way to use something more complex/rich ? You have to ability to redirect the waveforms of the instruments through the synth pipe by selecting the "wav" option for the oscillator you're using for this synth instrument, samples can be used as wavetables to replace the stock signals. Sound banks like soundfont (sf2) or Kontakt2 are not supported at the moment ====DAW Audio Evolution 4==== Audio Evolution 4 gives you unsurpassed power for digital audio recording and editing on the Amiga. The latest release focusses on time-saving non-linear and non-destructive editing, as seen on other platforms. Besides editing, Audio Evolution 4 offers a wide range of realtime effects, including compression, noise gate, delays, reverb, chorus and 3-band EQ. Whether you put them as inserts on a channel or use them as auxillaries, the effect parameters are realtime adjustable and can be fully automated. Together with all other mixing parameters, they can even be controlled remotely, using more ergonomic MIDI hardware. Non-linear editing on the time line, including cut, copy, paste, move, split, trim and crossfade actions The number of tracks per project(s) is unlimited .... AHI limits you to recording only two at a time. i.e. not on 8 track sound cards like the Juli@ or Phase 88. sample file import is limited to 16bit AIFF (not AIFC, important distinction as some files from other sources can be AIFC with aiff file extension). and 16bit WAV (pcm only) Most apps use the Music Unit only but a few apps also use Unit (0-3) instead or as well. * Set up AHI prefs so that microphone is available. (Input option near the bottom) stereo++ allows the audio piece to be placed anywhere and the left-right adjusted to sound positionally right hifi best for music playback if driver supports this option Load 16bit .aif .aiff only sample(s) to use not AIFC which can have the same ending.

So no way to pass on an AC3 encoded stream unmodified to the digital outputs through AHI. *No master volume handling. Each application has to set its own volume. So each driver implements its own custom driver-mixer interface for handling master volumes, mute and preamps. *Only one output stream. So all input gets mixed into one output. *No automatic handling of output direction based on connected cables. *No monitor input selection. Only monitor volume control. select the correct input (Don't mistake enabled sound for the correct input.) The monitor will feedback audio to the lineout and hp out no matter if you have selected the correct input to the ADC. The monitor will provide sound for any valid input. This will result in free mixing when recording from the monitor input instead of mic/line because the monitor itself will provide the hardware mixing for you. Be aware that MIC inputs will give two channel mono. Only Linein will give real stereo. Now for the not working part. Attempt to record from linein in the AE4 record window, the right channel is noise and the left channel is distorted. Even with the recommended HIFI 16bit Stereo++ mode at 48kHz. Channels Monitor Gain Inout Output Advanced settings - Debugging via serial port * Options -> Soundcard In/Out * Options -> SampleRate * Options -> Preferences F6 for Sample File List Setting a grid is easy as is measuring the BPM by marking a section of the sample. Is your kick drum track "not in time" ? If so, you're stumped in AE4 as it has no fancy variable time signatures and definitely no 'track this dodgy rhythm' function like software of the nature of Logic has. So if your drum beat is freeform you will need to work in freeform mode. (Real music is free form anyway). If the drum *is* accurate and you are just having trouble measuring the time, I usually measure over a range of bars and set the number of beats in range to say 16 as this is more accurate, Then you will need to shift the drum track to match your grid *before* applying the grid. (probably an iterative process as when the grid is active samples snap to it, and when inactive you cannot see it). AE4 does have ARexx but the functions are more for adding samples at set offsets and starting playback / recording. These are the usual features found in DAWs... * Recording digital audio, midi sequencer and mixer * virtual VST instruments and plug-ins * automation, group channels, MIDI channels, FX sends and returns, audio and MIDI editors and music notation editor * different track views * mixer and track layout (but not the same as below) * traditional two windows (track and mixer) Mixing - mixdown Could not figure out how to select what part I wanted to send to the aux, set it to echo and return. Pretty much the whole echo effect. Or any effect. Take look at page17 of the manual. When you open the EQ / Aux send popup window you will see 4 sends. Now from the menu choose the windows menu. Menus->Windows-> Aux Returns Window or press F5 You will see a small window with 4 volume controls and an effects button for each. Click a button and add an effects to that aux channel, then set it up as desired (note the reverb effect has a special AUX setting that improves its use with the aux channel, not compulsory but highly useful). You set the amount of 'return' on the main mix in the Aux Return window, and the amount sent from each main mixer channel in the popup for that channel. Again the aux sends are "prefade" so the volume faders on each channel do not affect them. Tracking Effects - fade in To add some echoes to some vocals, tried to add an effect on a track but did not come out. This is made more complicated as I wanted to mute a vocal but then make it echo at the muting point. Want to have one word of a vocal heard and then echoed off. But when the track is mute the echo is cancelled out. To correctly understand what is happening here you need to study the figure at the bottom of page 15 on the manual. You will see from that that the effects are applied 'prefade' So the automation you applied will naturally mute the entire signal. There would be a number of ways to achieve the goal, You have three real time effects slots, one for smoothing like so Sample -> Amplify -> Delay Then automate the gain of the amplify block so that it effectively mutes the sample just before the delay at the appropriate moment, the echo effect should then be heard. Getting the effects in the right order will require experimentation as they can only be added top down and it's not obvious which order they are applied to the signal, but there only two possibilities, so it wont take long to find out. Using MUTE can cause clicks to the Amplify can be used to mute more smoothly so that's a secondary advantage.

The menu is quite traditional; it varies according to the activity of the windows. To display any altimetric file in the "Mapview" (third icon of the panel), There are three possibilities: * Loading of a demonstration project. * The import of a DEM file, followed by texturing and packaging from the "Database-Editor" and the "Color-Editor". * The creation of an altimetric file in WCS format, then texturing. The altimeter file editing (display in the menu) is only made possible if the "Mapview" window is active. The software is made up of many windows and won't be able to describe them all. Know that "Color-Editor" and the "Data-Editor" comprise sufficient functions for obtaining an almost real rendering quality. You have the possibility of inserting vector objects in the "Data-Editor" (creation of roads, railways, etc.) The Map View (MapView) window *Database - Objects and Topos *View - Align, Center, Zoom, Pan, Move *Draw - Maps and distance *Object - Find, highlight, add points, conform topo, duplicate *Motion - Camera, Focus, path, elevation *Windows - DEM designer, Cloud (.cld) and wave (.wve) editor, You will notice that by selecting this window and simply moving the pointer to various points on the map you will see latitude and longitude values ​​change, along with the height. Drop-down menu and Modules, then select MapView and change the width of the window with the map to arrange it in the best way on the screen. With the Auto button the center. Window that then displays the contents of my DEM file, in this case the Grand Canyon. MapView allows you to observe the shape of the landscape from above ZOOM button Press the Zoom button and then with the pointer position on a point on the map, press the left mouse button and then move to the opposite corner to circumscribe the chosen area and press the left mouse button again, then we will see the enlarged area selected on the map. Would add that there is a box next to the Zoom button that allows the direct insertion of a value which, the larger it is, the smaller the magnification and the smaller the value, the stronger the magnification. At each numerical change you will need to press the DRAW button to update the view. PAN button Under Zoom you will find the PAN button which allows you to move the map at will in all directions by the amount you want. This is done by drawing a line in one direction, then press PAN and point to an area on the map with the pointer and press the left mouse button. At this point, leave it and move the pointer in one direction by drawing a line and press the left mouse button again to trigger the movement of the map on the screen (origin and end points). Do some experiments and then use the Auto button immediately below to recenter everything. There are parameters such as TOPO, VEC to be left checked and immediately below one that allows different views of the map with the Style command (Single, Multi, Surface, Emboss, Slope, Contour), each with its own particularities to highlight different details. Now you have the first basics to manage your project visually on the map. Close the MapView window and go further... Let's start working on ECOSYSTEMS If we select Emboss from the MapView Style command we will have a clear idea of ​​how the landscape appears, realizing that it is a predominantly desert region of our planet. Therefore we will begin to act on any vegetation present and the appearance of the landscape. With WCS we will begin to break down the elements of the landscape by assigning defined characteristics. It will be necessary to determine the classes of the ecosystem (Class) with parameters of Elevation Line (maximum altitude), Relative Elevation (arrangement on basins or convexities with respectively positive or negative parameters), Min Slope and Max Slope (slope). WCS offers the possibility of making ecosystems coexist on the same terrain with the UnderEco function, by setting a Density value. Ecosys Ecosystem Editor Let's open it from Modules, then Ecosys Editor. In the left pane you will find the list of ecosystems referring to the files present in our project. It will be necessary to clean up that box to leave only the Water and Snow landscapes and a few other predefined ones. We can do this by selecting the items and pressing the Remove button (be careful not for all elements the button is activated, therefore they cannot all be eliminated). Once this is done we can start adding new ecosystems. Scroll through the various Unused and as soon as the Name item at the top is activated allowing you to write, type the name of your ecosystem, adding the necessary parameters. <pre> Ecosystem1: Name: RockBase Class: Rock Density: 80 MinSlope: 15 UnderEco: Terrain Ecosystem2: Name: RockIncl Clss: Rock Density: 80 MinSlope: 30 UnderEco: Terrain Ecosystem3: Name: Grass Class Low Veg Density: 50 Height: 1 Elev Line : 1500 Rel El Eff: 5 Max Slope: 10 – Min Slope: 0 UnderEco: Terrain Ecosistema4: Name: Shrubs Class: Low Veg Density: 40 Height: 8 Elev Line: 3000 Rel El Eff: -2 Max Slope: 20 Min Slope : 5 UnderEco: Terrain Ecosistema5: Name: Terrain Class: Ground Density: 100 UnderEco: Terrain </pre> Now we need to identify an intermediate ecosystem that guarantees a smooth transition between all, therefore we select as Understory Ecosystem the one called Terrain in all ecosystems, except Snow and Water . Now we need to 'emerge' the Colorado River in the Canyon and we can do this by raising the sea level to 900 (Sea Level) in the Ecosystem called Water. Please note that the order of the ecosystem list gives priority to those that come after. So our list must have the following order: Water, Snow, Shrubs, RockIncl, RockBase, Terrain. It is possible to carry out all movements with the Swap button at the bottom. To put order you can also press Short List. Press Keep to confirm all the work done so far with Ecosystem Editor. Remember every now and then to save both the Project 'Modules/Save' and 'Parameter/Save All' EcoModels are made up of .etp .fgp .iff8 for each model Color Editor Now it's time to define the colors of our scene and we can do this by going to Modules and then Color Editor. In the list we focus on our ecosystems, created first. Let's go to the bottom of the list and select the first white space, assigning the name 'empty1', with a color we like and then we will find this element again in other environments... It could serve as an example for other situations! So we move to 'grass' which already exists and assign the following colors: R 60 G 70 B50 <pre> 'shrubs': R 60 G 80 B 30 'RockIncl' R 110 G 65 B 60 'RockBase' R 110 G 80 B 80 ' Terrain' R 150 G 30 B 30 <pre> Now we can work on pre-existing colors <pre> 'SunLight' R 150 G 130 B 130 'Haze and Fog' R 190 G 170 B 170 'Horizon' R 209 G 185 B 190 'Zenith' R 140 G 150 B 200 'Water' R 90 G 125 B 170 </pre> Ambient R 0 G 0 B 0 So don't forget to close Color Editor by pressing Keep. Go once again to Ecosystem Editor and assign the corresponding color to each environment by selecting it using the Ecosystem Color button. Press it several times until the correct one appears. Then save the project and parameters again, as done previously. Motion Editor Now it's time to take care of the framing, so let's go to Modules and then to Motion Editor. An extremely feature-rich window will open. Following is the list of parameters regarding the Camera, position and other characteristics: <pre> -Camera Altitude: 7.0 -Camera Latitude: 36.075 -Camera Longitude: 112.133 -Focus Attitude: -2.0 -Focus Latitude: 36.275 -Focus Longitude: 112.386 -Camera : 512 → rendering window -Camera Y: 384 → rendering window -View Arc: 80 → View width in degrees -Sun Longitude: 172 -Sun Latitude: -0.9 -Haze Start: 3.8 -Haze Range: 78, 5 </pre> As soon as the values ​​shown in the relevant sliders have been modified, we will be ready to open the CamView window to observe the wireframe preview. Let's not consider all the controls that will appear. Well from the Motion Editor if you have selected Camera Altitude and open the CamView panel, you can change the height of the camera by holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse up and down. To update the view, press the Terrain button in the adjacent window. As soon as you are convinced of the position, confirm again with Keep. You can carry out the same work with the other functions of the camera, such as Focus Altitude... Let's now see the next positioning step on the Camera map, but let's leave the CamView preview window open while we go to Modules to open the window at the same time MapView. We will thus be able to take advantage of the view from the other together with a subjective one. From the MapView window, select with the left mouse button and while it is pressed, move the Camera as desired. To update the subjective preview, always click on Terrain. While with the same procedure you can intervene on the direction of the camera lens, by selecting the cross and with the left button pressed you can choose the desired view. So with the pressure of Terrain I update the Preview. Possibly can enlarge or reduce the Map View using the Zoom button, for greater precision. Also write that the circle around the cameras indicates the beginning of the haze, there are two types (haze and fog) linked to the altitude. Would also add that the camera height is editable through the Motion Editor panel. The sun Let's see that changing the position of the sun from the Motion Editor. Press the SUN button at the bottom right and set the time and the date. Longitude and latitude are automatically obtained by the program. Always open the View Arc command from the Motion Editor panel, an item present in the Parameter List box. Once again confirm everything with Keep and then save again. Animation The animation part is not left-back and also occupies a window. The settings possibilities are enormous. A time line with dragging functions ("slide", "drag"...) comparable to that of LightWave completes this window. A small window is available for positioning the stars as a function of a date, in order to vary the seasons and their various events (and yes...). At the bottom of the "Motion-Editor", a "cam-view" function will give you access to a control panel. Different preview modes are possible. The rendering is also accessible through a window. No less than nine pages compose it. At this level, you will be able to determine the backup name of your images ("path"), the type of texture to be calculated, the resolution of the images, activate or deactivate functions such as the depth buffer ("zbuffer"), the blur, the background image, etc. Once all these parameters have been set, all you have to do is click on the "Render" button. For rendering go to Modules and then Render. Select the resolution, then under IMA select the name of the image. Move to FRA and indicate the level of fractal detail which of 4 is quite good. Then Keep to confirm and then reopen the window, pressing Render you will see the result. The image will be opened with any viewing program. Strengths: * Multi-window. * Quality of rendering. * Accuracy. * Opening, preview and rendering on CyberGraphX screen. * Extract / Convert Interp DEM, Import DLG, DXF, WDB and export LW map 3d formats * The "zbuffer" function. Weaknesses: * No OpenGL management * Calculation time. * No network computing tool. ====Writing CD / DVD - Frying Pan==== Can be backup DVDs (4GB ISO size limit due to use of FileInfoBlock), create audio cds from mp3's, and put .iso files on discs If using for the first time - click Drive button and Device set to ata.device and unit to 0 (zero) Click Tracks Button - Drive 1 - Create New Disc or Import Existing Disc Image (iso bin/cue etc.) - Session File open cue file If you're making a data cd, with files and drawers from your hard drive, you should be using the ISO Builder.. which is the MUI page on the left. ("Data/Audio Tracks" is on the right). You should use the "Data/Audio tracks" page if you want to create music cds with AIFF/WAV/MP3 files, or if you download an .iso file, and you want to put it on a cd. Click WRITE Button - set write speed - click on long Write button Examples Easiest way would be to burn a DATA CD, simply go to "Tracks" page "ISO Builder" and "ADD" everything you need to burn. On the "Write" page i have "Masterize Disc (DAO)", "Close Disc" and "Eject after Write" set. One must not "Blank disc before write" if one uses a CDR AUDIO CD from MP3's are as easy but tricky to deal with. FP only understands one MP3 format, Layer II, everything else will just create empty tracks Burning bootable CD's works only with .iso files. Go to "Tracks" page and "Data/Audio Tracks" and add the .iso ====odf==== Every ODF file is a collection of several subdocuments within a package (ZIP file), each of which stores part of the complete document. * content.xml – Document content and automatic styles used in the content. * styles.xml – Styles used in the document content and automatic styles used in the styles themselves. * meta.xml – Document meta information, such as the author or the time of the last save action. * settings.xml – Application-specific settings, such as the window size or printer information. To read document follow these steps: * Extracting .ods file. * Getting content.xml file (which contains sheets data). * Creating XmlDocument object from content.xml file. * Creating DataSet (that represent Spreadsheet file). * With XmlDocument select “table:table” elements, and then create adequate DataTables. * Parse child’s of “table:table” element and fill DataTables with those data. * At the end, return DataSet and show it in application’s interface. To write document follow these steps: * Extracting template.ods file (.ods file that we use as template). * Getting content.xml file. * Creating XmlDocument object from content.xml file. * Erasing all “table:table” elements from the content.xml file. * Reading data from our DataSet and composing adequate “table:table” elements. * Adding “table:table” elements to content.xml file. * Zipping that file as new .ods file. XLS file format The XLS file format contains streams, substreams, and records. These sheet substreams include worksheets, macro sheets, chart sheets, dialog sheets, and VBA module sheets. All the records in an XLS document start with a 2-byte unsigned integer to specify Record Type (rt), and another for Count of Bytes (cb). A record cannot exceed 8224 bytes. If larger than the rest is stored in one or more continue records. * Workbook stream **Globals substream ***BoundSheet8 record - info for Worksheet substream i.e. name, location, type, and visibility. (4bytes the lbPlyPos FilePointer, specifies the position in the Workbook stream where the sheet substream starts) **Worksheet substream (sheet) - Cell Table - Row record - Cells (2byte=row 2byte=column 2byte=XF format) ***Blank cell record ***RK cell record 32-bit number. ***BoolErr cell record (2-byte Bes structure that may be either a Boolean value or an error code) ***Number cell record (64-bit floating-point number) ***LabelSst cell record (4-byte integer that specifies a string in the Shared Strings Table (SST). Specifically, the integer corresponds to the array index in the RGB field of the SST) ***Formula cell record (FormulaValue structure in the 8 bytes that follow the cell structure. The next 6 bytes can be ignored, and the rest of the record is a CellParsedFormula structure that contains the formula itself) ***MulBlank record (first 2 bytes give the row, and the next 2 bytes give the column that the series of blanks starts at. Next, a variable length array of cell structures follows to store formatting information, and the last 2 bytes show what column the series of blanks ends on) ***MulRK record ***Shared String Table (SST) contains all of the string values in the workbook.

|} ==Application Guides== [[#top|...to the top]] ===Web Browser=== OWB is now at version 2.0 (which got an engine refresh, from July 2015 to February 2019) and 3.0. This latest version has a good support for many/most web sites, even YouTube web page now works. [https://www.bilibili.tv/en/search untested] This improved compatibility comes at the expense of higher RAM usage (now 1GB RAM is the absolute minimum). Also, keep in mind that the lack of a JIT (Just-In-Time) JS compiler on the 32 bit version, makes the web surfing a bit slow. Only the 64 bit version of OWB 2.0 will have JIT enabled, thus benefitting of more speed. There are tooltypes that can be added to the icon to provide further features JIT, MSE etc Certificates from [https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html ca certs], DNS tracking blocking with [https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt easylist.txt] in PROGDIR:Conf before starting browser with enabled AdBlock [https://github.com/easylist/easylist/tree/master easylist], [https://gitlab.com/eyeo anti abp], [https://firebog.net/ big blocklist], [https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Steves], [], [], This can be enabled with OWB Odyssey with Windows -> Content Blocking and Windows -> Messages and enter https://www.youtube.com/api/stats/ads* https://www.youtube.com/pagead/adview* https://www.youtube.com#@##player-ads* into your custom filters Element blocker browser extension might be needed for [https://github.com/easylist/easylist/wiki/Youtube-Issues youtube], [ mid roll], [ pre roll], [ ], OWB speed is much better when running from RAM Disk, the best way is to add the below into your S:User-Startup which copies OWB drawer from Extras:Internet/OWB to RAM Disk: So add this : <pre> copy Extras:Internet/OWB Ram:OWB/ ALL CLONE >NIL: copy Extras:Internet/OWB.info Ram: >NIL: </pre> Open RAM Disk and open OWB drawer and double click on OWB icon so that the above icon tooltypes are activated Problems are that the copy time is long (around 20 seconds added in the background), but we can make it faster if we delete useless files from the OWB drawer (docs, …) If you don’t copy the drawer back onto the HD, you won’t save your cache, cookies, passwords… So you need a script for it. copy Extras:Internet/Amelinium/#?

Please read more on this [http://www.freelists.org/list/simplemail-usr User list] GMail Be sure to activate the pop3 usage in your gmail account setup / configuration first. pop3: pop.gmail.com Use SSL: Yes Port: 995 smtp: smtp.gmail.com (with authentication) Use Authentication: Yes Use SSL: Yes Port: 465 or 587 Hotmail/MSN/outlook/Microsoft Mail mid-2017, all outlook.com accounts will be migrated to Office 365 / Exchange Most users are currently on POP which does not allow showing folders and many other features (technical limitations of POP3). With Microsoft IMAP you will get folders, sync read/unread, and show flags. You still won't get push though, as Microsoft has not turned on the IMAP Idle command as at Sept 2013. If you want to try it, you need to first remove (you can't edit) your pop account (long-press the account on the accounts screen, delete account). Then set it up this way: 1. Email/Password 2. Manual 3. IMAP 4. * Incoming: imap-mail.outlook.com, port 993, SSL/TLS should be checked * Outgoing: smtp-mail.outlook.com, port 587, SSL/TLS should be checked * POP server name pop-mail.outlook.com, port 995, POP encryption method SSL Yahoo Mail On April 24, 2002 Yahoo ceased to offer POP access to its free mail service. Introducing instead a yearly payment feature, allowing users POP3 and IMAP server support, along with such benefits as larger file attachment sizes and no adverts. Sorry to see Yahoo leaving its users to cough up for the privilege of accessing their mail. Understandable, when competing against rivals such as Gmail and Hotmail who hold a large majority of users and were hacked in 2014 as well. Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server * Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com * Port - 993 * Requires SSL - Yes Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server * Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com * Port - 465 or 587 * Requires SSL - Yes * Requires authentication - Yes Your login info * Email address - Your full email address (name@domain.com) * Password - Your account's password * Requires authentication - Yes Note that you need to enable “Web & POP Access” in your Yahoo Mail account to send and receive Yahoo Mail messages through any other email program.

You will also have to make sure that “SSL” is enabled and use 465 for port. you must also enable “authentication” for this to work. ====YAM Yet Another Mailer==== YAM does not support SSL and most mail providers have now switched to encrypted SMTP/POP3 connections This email client is POP3 only if the SSL library is available [http://www.freelists.org/list/yam YAM Freelists] One of the downsides of using a POP3 mailer unfortunately - you have to set an option not to delete the mail if you want it left on the server. IMAP keeps all the emails on the server. Possible issues Sending mail issues is probably a matter of using your ISP's SMTP server, though it could also be an SSL issue. getting a "Couldn't initialise TLSv1 / SSL error Use of on-line e-mail accounts with this email client is not possible as it lacks the OpenSSL AmiSSl v3 compatible library GMail Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com Use SSL: Yes Port: 995 Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication) Use Authentication: Yes Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL) Port: 465 or 587 Account Name: your Gmail username (including '@gmail.com') Email Address: your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com) Password: your Gmail password Anyway, the SMTP is pop.gmail.com port 465 and it uses SSLLv3 Authentication.

You will have to enable “Allow your Yahoo Mail to be POPed” under “POP and Forwarding”, to send and receive Yahoo mails through any other email client. Cannot be done since 2002 unless the customer pays Yahoo a monthly fee to have access to SMTP and POP3 Microsoft Outlook Express Mail 1. Get the files to your PC. By whatever method get the files off your Amiga onto your PC. In the YAM folder you have a number of different folders, one for each of your folders in YAM. Inside that is a file usually some numbers such as 332423.283. YAM created a new file for every single email you received. 2. Open up a brand new Outlook Express. Just configure the account to use 127.0.0.1 as mail servers. It doesn't really matter. You will need to manually create any subfolders you used in YAM. 3. You will need to do a mass rename on all your email files from YAM. Just add a .eml to the end of it. Amazing how PCs still rely mostly on the file name so it knows what sort of file it is rather than just looking at it! There are a number of multiple renamers online to download and free too. 4. Go into each of your folders, inbox, sent items etc. And do a select all then drag the files into Outlook Express (to the relevant folder obviously) Amazingly the file format that YAM used is very compatible with .eml standard and viola your emails appear. With correct dates and working attachments. 5. If you want your email into Microsoft Outlook. Open that up and create a new profile and a new blank PST file. Then go into File Import and choose to import from Outlook Express. And the mail will go into there. And viola.. you have your old email from your Amiga in a more modern day format. ===FTP=== Magellan has a great FTP module. It allows transferring files from/to a FTP server over the Internet or the local network and, even if FTP is perceived as a "thing of the past", its usability is all inside the client. The FTP thing has a nice side effect too, since every Icaros machine can be a FTP server as well, and our files can be easily transferred from an Icaros machine to another with a little configuration effort. First of all, we need to know the 'server' IP address. Server is the Icaros machine with the file we are about to download on another Icaros machine, that we're going to call 'client'. To do that, move on the server machine and 1) run Prefs/Services to be sure "FTP file transfer" is enabled (if not, enable it and restart Icaros); 2) run a shell and enter this command: ifconfig -a Make a note of the IP address for the network interface used by the local area network. For cabled devices, it usually is net0:. Now go on the client machine and run Magellan: Perform these actions: 1) click on FTP; 2) click on ADDRESS BOOK; 3) click on "New". You can now add a new entry for your Icaros server machine: 1) Choose a name for your server, in order to spot it immediately in the address book. Enter the IP address you got before. 2) click on Custom Options: 1) go to Miscellaneous in the left menu; 2) Ensure "Passive Transfers" is NOT selected; 3) click on Use. We need to deactivate Passive Transfers because YAFS, the FTP server included in Icaros, only allows active transfers at the current stage. Now, we can finally connect to our new file source: 1) Look into the address book for the newly introduced server, be sure that name and IP address are right, and 2) click on Connect. A new lister with server's "MyWorkspace" contents will appear. You can now transfer files over the network choosing a destination among your local (client's) volumes. Can be adapted to any FTP client on any platform of your choice, just be sure your client allows Active Transfers as well. ===IRC Internet Relay Chat=== Jabberwocky is ideal for one-to-one social media communication, use IRC if you require one to many. Just type a message in ''lowercase''' letters and it will be posted to all in the [ AROS irc channel]. Please do not use UPPER CASE as it is a sign of SHOUTING which is annoying. Other things to type in - replace <message> with a line of text and <nick> with a person's name <pre> /help /list /who /whois <nick> /msg <nick> <message> /query <nick> <message>s /query /away <message> /away /quit <going away message> </pre> [http://irchelp.org/irchelp/new2irc.html#smiley Intro guide here]. IRC Primer can be found here in [http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/ircprimer.html html], [http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/text/ircprimer.txt TXT], [http://www.kei.com/irc/IRCprimer1.1.ps PostScript].

The two ways to access chat from jabberwocky <pre > Jabberwocky -> Server -> XMPP -> open and ad-free Jabberwocky -> Server -> Transports (Gateways) -> Proprietary closed systems </pre > The Jabber.org service connects with all IM services that use XMPP, the open standard for instant messaging and presence over the Internet. The services we connect with include Google Talk (closed), Live Journal Talk, Nimbuzz, Ovi, and thousands more. However, you can not connect from Jabber.org to proprietary services like AIM, ICQ, MSN, Skype, or Yahoo because they don’t yet use XMPP components (XEP-0114) '''but''' you can use Jabber.com's servers and IM gateways (MSN, ICQ, Yahoo etc.) instead. The best way to use jabberwocky is in conjunction with a public jabber server with '''transports''' to your favorite services, like gtalk, Facebook, yahoo, ICQ, AIM, etc. You have to register with one of the servers, [https://list.jabber.at/ this list] or [http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ another list], [http://xmpp.net/ this security XMPP list], Unfortunately jabberwocky can only connect to one server at a time so it is best to check what services each server offers. If you set it up with separate Facebook and google talk accounts, for example, sometimes you'll only get one or the other. Jabberwocky open a window where the Jabber server part is typed in as well as your Nickname and Password. Jabber ID (JID) identifies you to the server and other users. Once registered the next step is to goto Jabberwocky's "Windows" menu and select the "Agents" option. The "Agents List" window will open. Roster (contacts list) [http://search.wensley.org.uk/ Chatrooms] (MUC) are available File Transfer - can send and receive files through the Jabber service but not with other services like IRC, ICQ, AIM or Yahoo. All you need is an installed webbrowser and OpenURL. Clickable URLs - The message window uses Mailtext.mcc and you can set a URL action in the MUI mailtext prefs like SYS:Utils/OpenURL %s NEWWIN. There is no consistent Skype like (H.323 VoIP) video conferencing available over Jabber. The move from xmpp to Jingle should help but no support on any amiga-like systems at the moment.

This means jabberwocky method below will no longer work. The best thing to do is to create an ID on a public jabber server which has a Facebook gateway. <pre > 1. launch jabberwocky 2. if the login window doesn't appear on launch, select 'account' from the jabberwocky menu 3. your jabber ID will be user@chat.facebook.com where user is your user ID 4. your password is your normal facebook password 5. to save this for next time, click the popup gadget next to the ID field 6. click the 'add' button 7. click the 'close' button 8. click the 'connect' button </pre > you're done. you can also click the 'save as default account' button if you want. jabberwocky configured to auto-connect when launching the program, but you can configure as you like. there is amigaguide documentation included with jabberwocky.

Most of the ICQ Jabber Transports still use an older ICQ protocol. You can only talk one-way to StriCQ using the older Transports. Only the newer ICQv7 Transport lets you talk both ways to StriCQ. Look at the server lists in the first section to check. Register on a Jabber server, e.g. this one works: http://www.jabber.de/ Then login into Jabberwocky with the following login data e.g. xxx@jabber.de / Password: xxx Now add your ICQ account under the window->Agents->"Register". Now Jabberwocky connects via the Jabber.de server with your ICQ account. Yahoo Messenger although yahoo! does not use xmpp protocol, you should be able to use the transport methods to gain access and post your replies MSN early months of 2013 Microsoft will ditch MSN Messenger client and force everyone to use Skype...but MSN protocol and servers will keep working as usual for quite a long time.... Occasionally the Messenger servers have been experiencing problems signing in. You may need to sign in at www.outlook.com and then try again. It may also take multiple tries to sign in. (This also affects you if you’re using Skype.) You have to check each servers' Agents List to see what transports (MSN protocol, ICQ protocol, etc.) are supported or use the list address' provided in the section above. Then register with each transport (IRC, MSN, ICQ, etc.) to which you need access. After registering you can Connect to start chatting. msn.jabber.com/registered should appear in the window. From this [http://tech.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/amiga-jabberwocky/message/1378 JW group] guide which helps with this process in a clear, step by step procedure. 1. Sign up on MSN's site for a passport account. This typically involves getting a Hotmail address. 2. Log on to the Jabber server of your choice and do the following: * Select the "Windows/Agents" menu option in Jabberwocky. * Select the MSN Agent from the list presented by the server. * Click the Register button to open a new window asking for: **Username = passort account email address, typically your hotmail address. **Nick = Screen name to be shown to anyone you add to your buddy list. **Password = Password for your passport account/hotmail address. * Click the Register button at the bottom of the new window. 3. If all goes well, you will see the MSN Gateway added to your buddy list. If not, repeat part 2 on another server. Some servers may show MSN in their list of available agents, but have not updated their software for the latest protocols used by MSN. 4. Once you are registered, you can now add people to your buddy list. Note that you need to include the '''msn.''' ahead of the servername so that it knows what gateway agent to use. Some servers may use a slight variation and require '''msg.gate.''' before the server name, so try both to see what works. If my friend's msn was amiga@hotmail.co.uk and my jabber server was @jabber.meta.net.nz.. then amiga'''%'''hotmail.com@'''msn.'''jabber.meta.net.nz or another the trick to import MSN contacts is that you don't type the hotmail URL but the passport URL... e.g. Instead of: goodvibe%hotmail.com@msn.jabber.com You type: goodvibe%passport.com@msn.jabber.com And the thing about importing contacts I'm afraid you'll have to do it by hand, one at the time... Google Talk any XMPP server will work, but you have to add your contacts manually. a google talk user is typically either @gmail.com or @talk.google.com. a true gtalk transport is nice because it brings your contacts to you and (can) also support file transfers to/from google talk users. implement Jingle a set of extensions to the IETF's Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) support ended early 2014 as Google moved to Google+ Hangouts which uses it own proprietary format ===Video Player MPlayer=== Many of the menu features (such as doubling) do not work with the current version of mplayer but using 4:3 mplayer -vf scale=800:600 file.avi 16:9 mplayer -vf scale=854:480 file.avi if you want gui use; mplayer -gui 1 <other params> file.avi <pre > stack 1000000 ; using AspireOS 1.xx ; copy FROM SYS:Extras/Multimedia/MPlayer/ TO RAM:MPlayer ALL CLONE > Nil: ; using Icaros Desktop 1.x ; copy FROM SYS:Tools/MPlayer/ TO RAM:MPlayer ALL CLONE > Nil: ; using Icaros Desktop 2.x ; copy FROM SYS:Utilities/MPlayer/ TO RAM:MPlayer ALL CLONE > Nil: cd RAM:MPlayer run MPlayer -gui > Nil: ;run MPlayer -gui -ao ahi_dev -playlist http://www.radio-paralax.de/listen.pls > Nil: </pre > $ mplayer rtsp://127.0.0.1:554/sample_300kbit.mp4 MPlayer supports multicast streaming, and rtp/rtsp protocols (it might require [http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/ live555 library] to work with some streams).

For photojournalism, documentary, and event coverage, minimal touching is recommended. Stick to Camera Raw for such shots, and limit changes to level adjustment, sharpness, noise reduction, and white balance correction. For fashion or portrait shoots, a large amount of adjustment is allowed and usually ends up far from the original. Skin smoothing, blemish removal, eye touch-ups, etc. are common. Might alter the background a bit to emphasize the subject. Product photography usually requires a lot of sharpening, spot removal, and focus stacking. For landscape shots, best results are achieved by doing the maximum amount of preparation before/while taking the shot. No amount of processing can match timing, proper lighting, correct gear, optimal settings, etc. Excessive post-processing might give you a dramatic shot but best avoided in the long term. * White Balance - Left Amiga or F12 and K and under "Misc color effects" tab with a pull down for White Balance - color temperature also known as AKA tint (movies) or tones (painting) - warm temp raise red reduce green blue - cool raise blue lower red green * Exposure - exposure compensation, highlight/shadow recovery * Noise Reduction - during RAW development or using external software * Lens Corrections - distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberrations * Detail - capture sharpening and local contrast enhancement * Contrast - black point, levels (sliders) and curves tools (F12 and K) * Framing - straighten () and crop (F12 and F) * Refinements - color adjustments and selective enhancements - Left Amiga or F12 and K for RGB and YUV histogram tabs - * Resizing - enlarge for a print or downsize for the web or email (F12 and D) * Output Sharpening - customized for your subject matter and print/screen size White Balance - F12 and K scan your image for a shade which was meant to be white (neutral with each RGB value being equal) like paper or plastic which is in the same light as the subject of the picture.

Each camera manufacturer has one or more unique RAW formats. RAW files contain the brightness levels data captured by the camera sensor. This data cannot be modified. A second smaller file, separate XML file, or within a database with instructions for the RAW processor to change exposure, saturation etc. The extra data can be changed but the original sensor data is still there. RAW is technically least compatible. A raw file is high-bit (usually 12 or 14 bits of information) but a camera-generated TIFF file will be usually converted by the camera (compressed, downsampled) to 8 bits. The raw file has no embedded color balance or color space, but the TIFF has both. These three things (smaller bit depth, embedded color balance, and embedded color space) make it so that the TIFF will lose quality more quickly with image adjustments than the raw file. The camera-generated TIFF image is much more like a camera processed JPEG than a raw file. A strong advantage goes to the raw file. The power of RAW files, such as the ability to set any color temperature non-destructively and will contain more tonal values. The principle of preserving the maximum amount of information to as late as possible in the process. The final conversion - which will always effectively represent a "downsampling" - should prevent as much loss as possible. Once you save it as TIFF, you throw away some of that data irretrievably. When saving in the lossy JPEG format, you get tremendous file size savings, but you've irreversibly thrown away a lot of image data. As long as you have the RAW file, original or otherwise, you have access to all of the image data as captured.

If not, you're not balanced. If you have sky you'll see the blue channel further off to the right. RGB is best one to change colours. These elements RGB is a 3-channel format containing data for Red, Green, and Blue in your photo scale between 0 and 255. The area in a picture that appears to be brighter/whiter contains more red color as compared to the area which is relatively darker. Similarly in the green channel the area that appears to be darker contains less amount of green color as compared to the area that appears to be brighter. Similarly in the blue channel the area appears to be darker contains less amount of blue color as compared to the area that appears to be brighter. Brightness luminance histogram also matches the green histogram more than any other color - human eye interprets green better e.g. RGB rough ratio 15/55/30% RGBA (RGB+A, A means alpha channel) . The alpha channel is used for "alpha compositing", which can mostly be associated as "opacity". AROS deals in RGB with two digits for every color (red, green, blue), in ARGB you have two additional hex digits for the alpha channel. The shadows are represented by the left third of the graph. The highlights are represented by the right third. And the midtones are, of course, in the middle. The higher the black peaks in the graph, the more pixels are concentrated in that tonal range (total black area). By moving the black endpoint, which identifies the shadows (darkness) and a white light endpoint (brightness) up and down either sides of the graph, colors are adjusted based on these points. By dragging the central one, can increased the midtones and control the contrast, raise shadows levels, clip or softly eliminate unsafe levels, alter gamma, etc... in a way that is much more precise and creative . RGB Curves * Move left endpoint (black point) up or right endpoint (white point) up brightens * Move left endpoint down or right endpoint down darkens Color Curves * Dragging up on the Red Curve increases the intensity of the reds in the image but * Dragging down on the Red Curve decreases the intensity of the reds and thus increases the apparent intensity of its complimentary color, cyan. Green’s complimentary color is magenta, and blue’s is yellow. <pre> Red <-> Cyan Green <->Magenta Blue <->Yellow </pre> YUV Best option to analyse and pull out statistical elements of any picture (i.e. separate luminance data from color data). The line in Y luma tone box represents the brightness of the image with the point in the bottom left been black, and the point in the top right as white. A low-contrast image has a concentrated clump of values nearer to the center of the graph. By comparison, a high-contrast image has a wider distribution of values across the entire width of the Histogram. A histogram that is skewed to the right would indicate a picture that is a bit overexposed because most of the color data is on the lighter side (increase exposure with higher value F), while a histogram with the curve on the left shows a picture that is underexposed. This is good information to have when using post-processing software because it shows you not only where the color data exists for a given picture, but also where any data has been clipped (extremes on edges of either side): that is, it does not exist and, therefore, cannot be edited. By dragging the endpoints of the line and as well as the central one, can increased the dark/shadows, midtones and light/bright parts and control the contrast, raise shadows levels, clip or softly eliminate unsafe levels, alter gamma, etc... in a way that is much more precise and creative . The U and V chroma parts show color difference components of the image. It’s useful for checking whether or not the overall chroma is too high, and also whether it’s being limited too much Can be used to create a negative image but also With U (Cb), the higher value you are, the more you're on the blue primary color. If you go to the low values then you're on blue complementary color, i.e. yellow. With V (Cr), this is the same principle but with Red and Cyan. e.g. If you push U full blue and V full red, you get magenta. If you push U full yellow and V full Cyan then you get green. YUV simultaneously adds to one side of the color equation while subtracting from the other. using YUV to do color correction can be very problematic because each curve alters the result of each other: the mutual influence between U and V often makes things tricky. You may also be careful in what you do to avoid the raise of noise (which happens very easily). Best results are obtained with little adjustments sunset that looks uninspiring and needs some color pop especially for the rays over the hill, a subtle contrast raise while setting luma values back to the legal range without hard clipping. ====Lunapaint==== Pixel based drawing app with onion-skin animation function Blocking, Shading, Coloring, adding detail <pre> b BRUSH e ERASER alt eyedropper v layer tool z ZOOM / MAGNIFY < > n spc panning m marque q lasso w same color selection / region </pre> <pre> , LM RM v V f filter F . size p , pick color [] last / next color </pre> There is not much missing in Lunapaint to be as good as FlipBook and then you have to take into account that Flipbook is considered to be amongst the best and easiest to use animation software out there.

Just as Flipbook is, and that responsiveness is something its users have mentioned as one of the positive sides of said software. author was learning MUI. Some parts just have to be rewritten with proper MUI classes before new features can be added. * add [Frame Add] / [Frame Del] * whole animation feature is impossible to use. If you draw 2 color maybe but if you start coloring your cells then you get in trouble * pickup the entire image as a brush, not just a selection ? And consequently remove the brush from memory when one doesn't need it anymore. can pick up a brush and put it onto a new image but cropping isn't possible, nor to load/save brushes. * Undo is something I longed for ages in Lunapaint. * to import into the current layer, other types of images (e.g. JPEG) besides RAW64. * implement graphic tablet features support **GENERAL DRAWING** Miss it very much: UNDO ERASER COLORPICKER - has to show on palette too which color got picked. BACKGROUND COLOR -Possibility to select from "New project screen" Miss it somewhat: ICON for UNDO ICON for ERASER ICON for CLEAR SCREEN ( What can I say? I start over from scratch very often ) BRUSH - possibility to cut out as brush not just copy off image to brush **ANIMATING** Miss it very much: NUMBER OF CELLS - Possibity to change total no. of cells during project ANIM BRUSH - Possibility to pick up a selected part of cells into an animbrush Miss it somewhat: ADD/REMOVE FRAMES: Add/remove single frame In general LunaPaint is really well done and it feels like a new DeluxePaint version. It works with my tablet. Sure there's much missing of course but things can always be added over time. So there is great potential in LunaPaint that's for sure. Animations could be made in it and maybe put together in QuickVideo, saving in .gif or .mng etc some day. LAYERS -Layers names don't get saved globally in animation frames -Layers order don't change globally in an animation (perhaps as default?). EXPORTING IMAGES -Exporting frames to JPG/PNG gives problems with colors. (wrong colors. See my animatiopn --> My robot was blue now it's "gold" ) I think this only happens if you have layers. -Trying to flatten the layers before export doesn't work if you have animation frames only the one you have visible will flatten properly all other frames are destroyed. (Only one of the layers are visible on them) -Exporting images filenames should be for example e.g. file0001, file0002...file0010 instead as of now file1, file2...file10 LOAD/SAVE (Preferences) -Make a setting for the default "Work" folder. * Destroyed colors if exported image/frame has layers * mystic color cycling of the selected color while stepping frames back/forth (annoying) <pre> Deluxe Paint II enhanced key shortcuts NOTE: @ denotes the ALT key [Technique] F1 -

I can choose left, center, or right aligned by either changing the integer in the second column from 0 (left) to 1 or 2 (center, or right). # The third integer in the row specifies fontcolor. For instance, 0 is black, but blue is 1 and Green3 is 13. # The sixth integer in the bottom row specifies fontface. 0 is Times-Roman, but 16 is Helvetica (a MATLAB default). # The seventh number is fontsize. 12 represents a 12pt fontsize.

If an app uses panning, this is what you will get. Note that apps like Audio Evolution need panning, so they will have this problem. # When using AHI Hifi modes, mixing is done in 32-bit and sent as 32-bit data to the driver. The Envy24HT driver uses that to output at 24-bit (always). # For the Envy24/Envy24HT, I've made 16-bit and 24-bit inputs (called Line-in 16-bit, Line-in 24-bit etc.). There is unfortunately no app that can handle 24-bit recording. ====Music Mods==== Digital module (mods) trackers are music creation software using samples and sometimes soundfonts, audio plugins (VST, AU or RTAS), MIDI. Generally, MODs are similar to MIDI in that they contain note on/off and other sequence messages that control the mod player. Unlike (most) midi files, however, they also contain sound samples that the sequence information actually plays. MOD files can have many channels (classic amiga mods have 4, corresponding to the inbuilt sound channels), but unlike MIDI, each channel can typically play only one note at once. However, since that note might be a sample of a chord, a drumloop or other complex sound, this is not as limiting as it sounds. Like MIDI, notes will play indefinitely if they're not instructed to end. Most trackers record this information automatically if you play your music in live. If you're using manual note entry, you can enter a note-off command with a keyboard shortcut - usually Caps Lock. In fact when considering file size MOD is not always the best option. Even a dummy song wastes few kilobytes for nothing when a simple SID tune could be few hundreds bytes and not bigger than 64kB. AHX is another small format, AHX tunes are never larger than 64kB excluding comments.

A Track of Note(s) can be collected into a Pattern (section of a song) and these can be given Order to create the whole song. Patience (notes have to be entered one at a time) or playing the bassline on a midi controller (faster - see midi section above). Best approach is to wait until a melody popped into your head. *Up-tempo means the track should be reasonably fast, but not super-fast. *Groovy and funky imply the track should have some sort of "swing" feel, with plenty of syncopation or off beat emphasis and a recognizable, melodic bass line. *Sweet and happy mean upbeat melodies, a major key and avoiding harsh sounds. *Moody - minor key First, create a quick bass sound, which is basically a sine wave, but can be hand drawn for a little more variance. It could also work for the melody part, too. This is usually a bass guitar or some kind of synthesizer bass. The bass line is often forgotten by inexperienced composers, but it plays an important role in a musical piece. Together with the rhythm section the bass line forms the groove of a song. It's the glue between the rhythm section and the melodic layer of a song. The drums are just pink noise samples, played at different frequencies to get a slightly different sound for the kick, snare, and hihats. Instruments that fall into the rhythm category are bass drums, snares, hi-hats, toms, cymbals, congas, tambourines, shakers, etc. Any percussive instrument can be used to form part of the rhythm section. The lead is the instrument that plays the main melody, on top of the chords. There are many instruments that can play a lead section, like a guitar, a piano, a saxophone or a flute. The list is almost endless. There is a lot of overlap with instruments that play chords. Often in one piece an instrument serves both roles. The lead melody is often played at a higher pitch than the chords. Listened back to what was produced so far, and a counter-melody can be imagined, which can be added with a triangle wave. To give the ends of phrases some life, you can add a solo part with a crunchy synth. By hitting random notes in the key of G, then edited a few of them. For the climax of the song, filled out the texture with a gentle high-pitch pad… …and a grungy bass synth. The arrow at A points at the pattern order list. As you see, the patterns don't have to be in numerical order. This song starts with pattern "00", then pattern "02", then "03", then "01", etcetera. Patterns may be repeated throughout a song. The B arrow points at the song title. Below it are the global BPM and speed parameters. These determine the tempo of the song, unless the tempo is altered through effect commands during the song. The C arrow points at the list of instruments. An instrument may consist of multiple samples. Which sample will be played depends on the note. This can be set in the Instrument Editing screen. Most instruments will consist of just one sample, though. The sample list for the selected instrument can be found under arrow D. Here's a part of the main editing screen. This is where you put in actual notes. Up to 32 channels can be used, meaning 32 sounds can play simultaneously. The first six channels of pattern "03" at order "02" are shown here. The arrow at A points at the row number. The B arrow points at the note to play, in this case a C4. The column pointed at by the C arrow tells us which instrument is associated with that note, in this case instrument #1 "Kick". The column at D is used (mainly) for volume commands. In this case it is left empty which means the instrument should play at its default volume. You can see the volume column being used in channel #6. The E column tells us which effect to use and any parameters for that effect. In this case it holds the "F" effect, which is a tempo command. The "04" means it should play at tempo 4 (a smaller number means faster). Base pattern When I create a new track I start with what I call the base pattern. It is worthwhile to spend some time polishing it as a lot of the ideas in the base pattern will be copied and used in other patterns. At least, that's how I work. Every musician will have his own way of working. In "Wild Bunnies" the base pattern is pattern "03" at order "02". In the section about selecting samples I talked about the four different categories of instruments: drums, bass, chords and leads. That's also how I usually go about making the base pattern. I start by making a drum pattern, then add a bass line, place some chords and top it off with a lead. This forms the base pattern from which the rest of the song will grow. Drums Here's a screenshot of the first four rows of the base pattern. I usually reserve the first four channels or so for the drum instruments. Right away there are a couple of tricks shown here. In the first channel the kick, or bass drum, plays some notes. Note the alternating F04 and F02 commands. The "F" command alters the tempo of the song and by quickly alternating the tempo; the song will get some kind of "swing" feel. In the second channel the closed hi-hat plays a fairly simple pattern. Further down in the channel, not shown here, some open hi-hat notes are added for a bit of variation. In the third and fourth channel the snare sample plays. The "8" command is for panning. One note is panned hard to the left and the other hard to the right. One sample is played a semitone lower than the other. This results in a cool flanging effect. It makes the snare stand out a little more in the mix. Bass line There are two different instruments used for the bass line. Instrument #6 is a pretty standard synthesized bass sound. Instrument #A sounds a bit like a slap bass when used with a quick fade out. By using two different instruments the bass line sounds a bit more ”human”. The volume command is used to cut off the notes. However, it is never set to zero. Setting the volume to a very small value will result in a reverb-like effect. This makes the song sound more "live". The bass line hints at the chords that will be played and the key the song will be in. In this case the key of the song is D-major, a positive and happy key. Chords The D major chords that are being played here are chords stabs; short sounds with a quick decay (fade out). Two different instruments (#8 and #9) are used to form the chords. These instruments are quite similar, but have a slightly different sound, panning and volume decay. Again, the reason for this is to make the sound more human. The volume command is used on some chords to simulate a delay, to achieve more of a live feel. The chords are placed off-beat making for a funky rhythm. Lead Finally the lead melody is added. The other instruments are invaluable in holding the track together, but the lead melody is usually what catches people's attention. A lot of notes and commands are used here, but it looks more complex than it is. A stepwise ascending melody plays in channel 13. Channel 14 and 15 copy this melody, but play it a few rows later at a lower volume. This creates an echo effect. A bit of panning is used on the notes to create some stereo depth. Like with the bass line, instead of cutting off notes the volume is set to low values for a reverb effect. The "461" effect adds a little vibrato to the note, which sounds nice on sustained notes. Those paying close attention may notice the instrument used here for the lead melody is the same as the one used for the bass line (#6 "Square"), except played two or three octaves higher. This instrument is a looped square wave sample. Each type of wave has its own quirks, but the square wave (shown below) is a really versatile wave form. Song structure Good, catchy songs are often carefully structured into sections, some of which are repeated throughout the song with small variations. A typical pop-song structure is: Intro - Verse - Chorus - Verse - Chorus - Bridge - Chorus. Other single sectional song structures are <pre> Strophic or AAA Song Form - oldest story telling with refrain (often title of the song) repeated in every verse section melody AABA Song Form - early popular, jazz and gospel fading during the 1960s AB or Verse/Chorus Song Form - songwriting format of choice for modern popular music since the 1960s Verse/Chorus/Bridge Song Form ABAB Song Form ABAC Song Form ABCD Song Form AAB 12-Bar Song Form - three four-bar lines or sub-sections 8-Bar Song Form 16-Bar Song Form Hybrid / Compound Song Forms </pre> The most common building blocks are: #INTRODUCTION(INTRO) #VERSE #REFRAIN #PRE-CHORUS / RISE / CLIMB #CHORUS #BRIDGE #MIDDLE EIGHT #SOLO / INSTRUMENTAL BREAK #COLLISION #CODA / OUTRO #AD LIB (OFTEN IN CODA / OUTRO) The chorus usually has more energy than the verse and often has a memorable melody line. As the chorus is repeated the most often during the song, it will be the part that people will remember. The bridge often marks a change of direction in the song. It is not uncommon to change keys in the bridge, or at least to use a different chord sequence. The bridge is used to build up tension towards the big finale, the last repetition of chorus.

Input a note, then move the cursor to the effects command column and type a C. Play the pattern, and you shouldn't be able to hear the note you placed the C by. This is because the effect parameters are 00. Change the two zeros to a 40(Hex)/64(Dec), depending on what your tracker uses. Play back the pattern again, and the note should come in at full volume. The Position Jump command next. This is just a B followed by the position in the playing list that you want to jump to. One thing to remember is that the playing list always starts at 0, not 1. This command is usually in Hex. Onto the volume slide command: A. This is slightly more complex (much more if you're using a newer tracker, if you want to achieve the results here, then set slides to Amiga, not linear), due to the fact it depends on the secondary tempo. For now set a secondary tempo of 06 (you can play around later), load a long or looped sample and input a note or two. A few rows after a note type in the effect command A. For the parameters use 0F. Play back the pattern, and you should notice that when the effect kicks in, the sample drops to a very low volume very quickly. Change the effect parameters to F0, and use a low volume command on the note. Play back the pattern, and when the slide kicks in the volume of the note should increase very quickly. This because each part of the effect parameters for command A does a different thing. The first number slides the volume up, and the second slides it down. It's not recommended that you use both a volume up and volume down at the same time, due to the fact the tracker only looks for the first number that isn't set to 0. If you specify parameters of 8F, the tracker will see the 8, ignore the F, and slide the volume up. Using a slide up and down at same time just makes you look stupid. Don't do it... The Set Tempo command: F, is pretty easy to understand. You simply specify the BPM (in Hex) that you want to change to. One important thing to note is that values of lower than 20 (Hex) sets the secondary tempo rather than the primary. Another useful command is the Pattern Break: D. This will stop the playing of the current pattern and skip to the next one in the playing list. By using parameters of more than 00 you can also specify which line to begin playing from. Command 3 is Portamento to Note. This slides the currently playing note to another note, at a specified speed. The slide then stops when it reaches the desired note. <pre> C-2 1 000 - Starts the note playing --- 000 C-3 330 - Starts the slide to C-3 at a speed of 30. --- 300 - Continues the slide --- 300 - Continues the slide </pre> Once the parameters have been set, the command can be input again without any parameters, and it'll still perform the same function unless you change the parameters. This memory function allows certain commands to function correctly, such as command 5, which is the Portamento to Note and Volume Slide command. Once command 3 has been set up command 5 will simply take the parameters from that and perform a Portamento to Note. Any parameters set up for command 5 itself simply perform a Volume Slide identical to command A at the same time as the Portamento to Note. This memory function will only operate in the same channel where the original parameters were set up. There are various other commands which perform two functions at once. They will be described as we come across them. C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 02 C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 05 C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 08 C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 0A C-3 04 .. .. 09 00 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 0D C-3 04 .. .. 09 10 ---> C-3 04 .. .. 09 10 (You can also switch on the Slider Rec to On, and perform parameter-live-recording, such as cutoff transitions, resonance or panning tweaking, etc..) Note: this command only works for volume/panning and fx datas columns. The next command we'll look at is the Portamento up/down: 1 and 2. Command 1 slides the pitch up at a specified speed, and 2 slides it down. This command works in a similar way to the volume slide, in that it is dependent on the secondary tempo. Both these commands have a memory dependent on each other, if you set the slide to a speed of 3 with the 1 command, a 2 command with no parameters will use the speed of 3 from the 1 command, and vice versa. Command 4 is Vibrato. Vibrato is basically rapid changes in pitch, just try it, and you'll see what I mean. Parameters are in the format of xy, where x is the speed of the slide, and y is the depth of the slide. One important point to remember is to keep your vibratos subtle and natural so a depth of 3 or less and a reasonably fast speed, around 8, is usually used. Setting the depth too high can make the part sound out of tune from the rest. Following on from command 4 is command 6. This is the Vibrato and Volume Slide command, and it has a memory like command 5, which you already know how to use. Command 7 is Tremolo. This is similar to vibrato. Rather than changing the pitch it slides the volume. The effect parameters are in exactly the same format. vibrato effect (0x1dxy) x = speed y = depth (can't be used if arpeggio (0x1b) is turned on) <pre> C-7 00 .. .. 1B37 <- Turn Arpeggio effect on --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 1B38 <- Change datas --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 0000 --- .. .. .. 1B00 <- Turn it off </pre> Command 9 is Sample Offset. This starts the playback of the sample from a different place than the start. The effect parameters specify the sample offset, but only very roughly. Say you have a sample which is 8765(Hex) bytes long, and you wanted it to play from position 4321(Hex). The effect parameter could only be as accurate as the 43 part, and it would ignore the 21. Command B is the Playing List/Order Jump command. The parameters specify the position in the Playing List/Order to jump to. When used in conjunction with command D you can specify the position and the line to play from. Command E is pretty complex, as it is used for a lot of different things, depending on what the first parameter is. Let's take a trip through each effect in order. Command E0 controls the hardware filter on an Amiga, which, as a low pass filter, cuts off the highest frequencies being played back. There are very few players and trackers on other system that simulate this function, not that you should need to use it. The second parameter, if set to 1, turns on the filter. If set to 0, the filter gets turned off. Commands E1/E2 are Fine Portamento Up/Down. Exactly the same functions as commands 1/2, except that they only slide the pitch by a very small amount. These commands have a memory the same as 1/2 as well. Command E3 sets the Glissando control. If parameters are set to 1 then when using command 3, any sliding will only use the notes in between the original note and the note being slid to. This produces a somewhat jumpier slide than usual. The best way to understand is to try it out for yourself. Produce a slow slide with command 3, listen to it, and then try using E31. Command E4 is the Set Vibrato Waveform control. This command controls how the vibrato command slides the pitch. Parameters are 0 - Sine, 1 - Ramp Down (Saw), 2 - Square. By adding 4 to the parameters, the waveform will not be restarted when a new note is played e.g. 5 - Sine without restart. Command E5 sets the Fine Tune of the instrument being played, but only for the particular note being played. It will override the default Fine Tune for the instrument. The parameters range from 0 to F, with 0 being -8 and F being +8 Fine Tune. A parameter of 8 gives no Fine Tune. If you're using a newer tracker that supports more than -8 to +8 e.g. -128 to +128, these parameters will give a rough Fine Tune, accurate to the nearest 16. Command E6 is the Jump Loop command. You mark the beginning of the part of a pattern that you want to loop with E60, and then specify with E6x the end of the loop, where x is the number of times you want it to loop. Command E7 is the Set Tremolo Waveform control. This has exactly the same parameters as command E4, except that it works for Tremolo rather than Vibrato. Command E9 is for Retriggering the note quickly. The parameter specifies the interval between the retrigs. Use a value of less than the current secondary tempo, or else the note will not get retrigged. Command EA/B are for Fine Volume Slide Up/Down. Much the same as the normal Volume Slides, except that these are easier to control since they don't depend on the secondary tempo. The parameters specify the amount to slide by e.g. if you have a sample playing at a volume of 08 (Hex) then the effect EA1 will slide this volume to 09 (Hex). A subsequent effect of EB4 would slide this volume down to 05 (Hex). Command EC is the Note Cut. This sets the volume of the currently playing note to 0 at a specified tick. The parameters should be lower than the secondary tempo or else the effect won't work. Command ED is the Note Delay. This should be used at the same time as a note is to be played, and the parameters will specify the number of ticks to delay playing the note. Again, keep the parameters lower than the secondary tempo, or the note won't get played! Command EE is the Pattern Delay. This delays the pattern for the amount of time it would take to play a certain number of rows. The parameters specify how many rows to delay for. Command EF is the Funk Repeat command. Set the sample loop to 0-1000. When EFx is used, the loop will be moved to 1000- 2000, then to 2000-3000 etc. After 9000-10000 the loop is set back to 0- 1000. The speed of the loop "movement" is defined by x. E is two times as slow as F, D is three times as slow as F etc. EF0 will turn the Funk Repeat off and reset the loop (to 0-1000). effects 0x41 and 0x42 to control the volumes of the 2 303 units There is a dedicated panel for synth parameter editing with coherent sections (osc, filter modulation, routing, so on) the interface is much nicer, much better to navigate with customizable colors, the reverb is now customizable (10 delay lines), It accepts newer types of Waves (higher bit rates, at least 24). Has a replay routine. It's pretty much your basic VA synth. The problem isn't with the sampler being to high it's the synth is tuned two octaves too low, but if you want your samples tuned down just set the base note down 2 octaves (in the instrument panel). so the synth is basically divided into 3 sections from left to right: oscillators/envelopes, then filter and LFO's, and in the right column you have mod routings and global settings. for the oscillator section you have two normal oscillators (sine, saw, square, noise), the second of which is tunable, the first one tunes with the key pressed. Attached to OSC 1 is a sub-oscillator, which is a sawtooth wave tuned one octave down. The phase modulation controls the point in the duty cycle at which the oscillator starts. The ADSR envelope sliders (grouped with oscs) are for modulation envelope 1 and 2 respectively. you can use the synth as a sampler by choosing the instrument at the top. In the filter column, the filter settings are: 1 = lowpass, 2 = highpass, 3 = off. cutoff and resonance. For the LFOs they are LFO 1 and LFO 2, the ADSR sliders in those are for the LFO itself. For the modulation routings you have ENV 1, LFO 1 for the first slider and ENV 2, LFO 2 for the second, you can cycle through the individual routings there, and you can route each modulation source to multiple destinations of course, which is another big plus for this synth. Finally the glide time is for portamento and master volume, well, the master volume... it can go quite loud. The sequencer is changed too, It's more like the one in AXS if you've used that, where you can mute tracks to re-use patterns with variation. <pre> Support for the following modules formats: 669 (Composer 669, Unis 669), AMF (DSMI Advanced Module Format), AMF (ASYLUM Music Format V1.0), APUN (APlayer), DSM (DSIK internal format), FAR (Farandole Composer), GDM (General DigiMusic), IT (Impulse Tracker), IMF (Imago Orpheus), MOD (15 and 31 instruments), MED (OctaMED), MTM (MultiTracker Module editor), OKT (Amiga Oktalyzer), S3M (Scream Tracker 3), STM (Scream Tracker), STX (Scream Tracker Music Interface Kit), ULT (UltraTracker), UNI (MikMod), XM (FastTracker 2), Mid (midi format via timidity) </pre> Possible plugin options include [http://lv2plug.in/ LV2], ====Midi - Musical Instrument Digital Interface==== A midi file typically contains music that plays on up to 16 channels (as per the midi standard), but many notes can simultaneously play on each channel (depending on the limit of the midi hardware playing it).

Bars and Pipes Pro 2.5 is using internal 4-Byte IDs, to check which kind of data are currently processed. Especially in all its files the IDs play an important role. The IDs are stored into the file in the same order they are laid out in the memory. In a Bars 'N' Pipes file (no matter which kind) the ID "NAME" (saved as its ANSI-values) is stored on a big endian system (68k-computer) as "NAME". On a little endian system (x86 PC computer) as "EMAN". The target is to make the AROS-BnP compatible to songs, which were stored on a 68k computer (AMIGA). If possible, setting MIDI channels for Local Control for your keyboard http://www.fromwithin.com/liquidmidi/archive.shtml MIDI files are essentially a stream of event data.

Would it be possible to enrich Bars N’Pipes with software synth and sample support along with audio recording and mastering tools like in the named MAC or PC music sequencers? On the classic AMIGA-OS this is not possible because of missing CPU-power. The hardware of the classic AMIGA is not further developed. So we must say (unfortunately) that those dreams can’t become reality BarsnPipes is best used with external MIDI-equipment. This can be a keyboard or synthesizer with MIDI-connectors. <pre> MIDI can control 16 channels There are USB-MIDI-Interfaces on the market with 16 independent MIDI-lines (multi-port), which can handle 16 MIDI devices independently – 16×16 = 256 independent MIDI-channels or instruments handle up to 16 different USB-MIDI-Interfaces (multi-device).

First of all, midi in & out capabilities of this program are rather limited. # Go to Misc. Setup section and select a midi in or out device to use (ptk only supports one device at a time). # Go to instrument section, and select a MIDI PRG (the default is N/A, which means no midi program selected). # Go to track section and here you can assign a midi channel to each track of ptk. # Play notes :]. Note off works. F'x' note cut command also works too, and note-volume command (speed) is supported. Also, you can change midicontrollers in the tracker, using '90' in the panning row: <pre> C-3 02 .. .. 0000.... --- .. .. 90 xxyy.... << This will set the value --- .. .. .. 0000.... of the controller n.'xx' to 'yy' (both in hex) --- .. .. .. 0000.... </pre> So "--- .. .. 90 2040...." will set the controller number $20(32) to $40(64). You will need the midi implementation table of your gear to know what you can change with midi controller messages. N.B. Not all MIDI devices are created equal! Although the MIDI specification defines a large range of MIDI messages of various kinds, not every MIDI device is required to work in exactly the same way and respond to all the available messages and ways of working. For example, we don't expect a wind synthesiser to work in the same way as a home keyboard. Some devices, the older ones perhaps, are only able to respond to a single channel. With some of those devices that channel can be altered from the default of 1 (probably) to another channel of the 16 possible. Other devices, for instance monophonic synthesisers, are capable of producing just one note at a time, on one MIDI channel. Others can produce many notes spread across many channels. Further devices can respond to, and transmit, "breath controller" data (MIDI controller number 2 (CC#2)) others may respond to the reception of CC#2 but not be able to create and to send it. A controller keyboard may be capable of sending "expression pedal" data, but another device may not be capable of responding to that message. Some devices just have the basic GM sound set. The "voice" or "instrument" is selected using a "Program Change" message on its own. Other devices have a greater selection of voices, usually arranged in "banks", and the choice of instrument is made by responding to "Bank Select MSB" (MIDI controller 0 (CC#0)), others use "Bank Select LSB" (MIDI controller number 32 (CC#32)), yet others use both MSB and LSB sent one after the other, all followed by the Program Change message. The detailed information about all the different voices will usually be available in a published MIDI Data List. MIDI Implementation Chart But in the User Manual there is sometimes a summary of how the device works, in terms of MIDI, in the chart at the back of the manual, the MIDI Implementation Chart. If you require two devices to work together you can compare the two implementation charts to see if they are "compatible". In order to do this we will need to interpret that chart. The chart is divided into four columns headed "Function", "Transmitted" (or "Tx"), "Received" (or "Rx"), or more correctly "Recognised", and finally, "Remarks". <pre> The left hand column defines which MIDI functions are being described. The 2nd column defines what the device in question is capable of transmitting to another device. The 3rd column defines what the device is capable of responding to. The 4th column is for explanations of the values contained within these previous two columns. </pre> There should then be twelve sections, with possibly a thirteenth containing extra "Notes". Finally there should be an explanation of the four MIDI "modes" and what the "X" and the "O" mean. <pre> Mode 1: Omni On, Poly; Mode 2: Omni On, Mono; Mode 3: Omni Off, Poly; Mode 4: Omni Off, Mono. </pre> O means "yes" (implemented), X means "no" (not implemented). Sometimes you will find a row of asterisks "**************", these seem to indicate that the data is not applicable in this case. Seen in the transmitted field only (unless you've seen otherwise). Lastly you may find against some entries an asterisk followed by a number e.g. *1, these will refer you to further information, often on a following page, giving more detail. Basic Channel But the very first set of boxes will tell us the "Basic Channel(s)" that the device sends or receives on. "Default" is what happens when the device is first turned on, "changed" is what a switch of some kind may allow the device to be set to. For many devices e.g. a GM sound module or a home keyboard, this would be 1-16 for both. That is it can handle sending and receiving on all MIDI channels. On other devices, for example a synthesiser, it may by default only work on channel 1. But the keyboard could be "split" with the lower notes e.g. on channel 2. If the synth has an arppegiator, this may be able to be set to transmit and or receive on yet another channel. So we might see the default as "1" but the changed as "1-16". Modes. We need to understand Omni On and Off, and Mono and Poly, then we can decipher the four modes. But first we need to understand that any of these four Mode messages can be sent to any MIDI channel. They don't necessarily apply to the whole device. If we send an "Omni On" message (CC#125) to a MIDI channel of a device, we are, in effect, asking it to respond to e.g. a Note On / Off message pair, received on any of the sixteen channels. Sound strange? Read it again. Still strange? It certainly is. We normally want a MIDI channel to respond only to Note On / Off messages sent on that channel, not any other. In other words, "Omni Off". So "Omni Off" (CC#124) tells a channel of our MIDI device to respond only to messages sent on that MIDI channel. "Poly" (CC#127) is for e.g. a channel of a polyphonic sound module, or a home keyboard, to be able to respond to many simultaneous Note On / Off message pairs at once and produce musical chords. "Mono" (CC#126) allows us to set a channel to respond as if it were e.g. a flute or a trumpet, playing just one note at a time. If the device is capable of it, then the overlapping of notes will produce legato playing, that is the attack portion of the second note of two overlapping notes will be removed resulting in a "smoother" transition. So a channel with a piano voice assigned to it will have Omni Off, Poly On (Mode 3), a channel with a saxophone voice assigned could be Omni Off, Mono On (Mode 4). We call these combinations the four modes, 1 to 4, as defined above. Most modern devices will have their channels set to Mode 3 (Omni Off, Poly) but be switchable, on a per channel basis, to Mode 4 (Omni Off, Mono). This second section of data will include first its default value i.e. upon device switch on. Then what Mode messages are acceptable, or X if none. Finally, in the "Altered" field, how a Mode message that can't be implemented will be interpreted. Usually there will just be a row of asterisks effectively meaning nothing will be done if you try to switch to an unimplemented mode. Note Number <pre> The next row will tell us which MIDI notes the device can send or receive, normally 0-127. The second line, "True Voice" has the following in the MIDI specification: "Range of received note numbers falling within the range of true notes produced by the instrument." My interpretation is that, for instance, a MIDI piano may be capable of sending all MIDI notes (0 to 127) by transposition, but only responding to the 88 notes (21 to 108) of a real piano. </pre> Velocity This will tell us whether the device we're looking at will handle note velocity, and what range from 1-127, or maybe just 64, it transmits or will recognise. So usually "O" plus a range or "X" for not implemented. After touch This may have one or two lines two it. If a one liner the either "O" or "X", yes or no. If a two liner then it may include "Keys" or "Poly" and "Channel". This will show whether the device will respond to Polyphonic after touch or channel after touch or neither. Pitch Bend Again "O" for implemented, "X" for not implemented. (Many stage pianos will have no pitch bend capability.) It may also, in the notes section, state whether it will respond to the full 14 bits, or not, as usually encoded by the pitch bend wheel. Control Change This is likely to be the largest section of the chart. It will list all those controllers, starting from CC#0, Bank Select MSB, which the device is capable of sending, and those that it will respond to using "O" or "X" respectively. You will, almost certainly, get some further explanation of functionality in the remarks column, or in more detail elsewhere in the documentation. Of course you will need to know what all the various controller numbers do. Lots of the official technical specifications can be found at the [www.midi.org/techspecs/ MMA], with the table of messages and control change [www.midi.org/techspecs/midimessages.php message numbers] Program Change Again "O" or "X" in the Transmitted or Recognised column to indicate whether or not the feature is implemented. In addition a range of numbers is shown, typically 0-127, to show what is available. True # (number): "The range of the program change numbers which correspond to the actual number of patches selected." System Exclusive Used to indicate whether or not the device can send or recognise System Exclusive messages. A short description is often given in the Remarks field followed by a detailed explanation elsewhere in the documentation. System Common - These include the following: <pre> MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame messages (device synchronisation). Song Position Pointer Song Select Tune Request </pre> The section will indicate whether or not the device can send or respond to any of these messages. System Real Time These include the following: <pre> Timing Clock - often just written as "Clock" Start Stop Continue </pre> These three are usually just referred to as "Commands" and listed. Again the section will indicate which, if any, of these messages the device can send or respond to. <pre> Aux. Messages Again "O" or "X" for implemented or not. Aux. = Auxiliary. Active Sense = Active Sensing. </pre> Often with an explanation of the action of the device. Notes The "Notes" section can contain any additional comments to clarify the particular implementation. Some of the explanations have been drawn directly from the MMA MIDI 1.0 Detailed Specification. And the detailed explanation of some of the functions will be found there, or in the General MIDI System Level 1 or General MIDI System Level 2 documents also published by the MMA. OFFICIAL MIDI SPECIFICATIONS SUMMARY OF MIDI MESSAGES Table 1 - Summary of MIDI Messages The following table lists the major MIDI messages in numerical (binary) order (adapted from "MIDI by the Numbers" by D.

This the same code as the Control Change (above), but implements Mode control and special message by using reserved controller numbers 120-127. The commands are: *All Sound Off. When All Sound Off is received all oscillators will turn off, and their volume envelopes are set to zero as soon as possible c = 120, v = 0: All Sound Off *Reset All Controllers. When Reset All Controllers is received, all controller values are reset to their default values.

They all use the most significant nybble (4bits) of 0xF, with the least significant nybble indicating the specific category. The messages are denoted when the MSB of the second nybble is 1. When that bit is a 0, the messages fall into two other subcategories. System Common If the MSB of the second second nybble (4 bits) is not set, this indicates a System Common message. Most of these are messages that include some additional data bytes. System Common Messages Type Status Byte Number of Data Bytes Usage <pre> Time Code Quarter Frame 0xF1 1 Indicates timing using absolute time code, primarily for synthronization with video playback systems. A single location requires eight messages to send the location in an encoded hours:minutes:seconds:frames format*. Song Position 0xF2 2 Instructs a sequencer to jump to a new position in the song. The data bytes form a 14-bit value that expresses the location as the number of sixteenth notes from the start of the song. Song Select 0xF3 1 Instructs a sequencer to select a new song. The data byte indicates the song. Undefined 0xF4 0 Undefined 0xF5 0 Tune Request 0xF6 0 Requests that the receiver retunes itself**. </pre> *MIDI Time Code (MTC) is significantly complex. Please see the MIDI Specification **While modern digital instruments are good at staying in tune, older analog synthesizers were prone to tuning drift. Some analog synthesizers had an automatic tuning operation that could be initiated with this command. System Exclusive If you’ve been keeping track, you’ll notice there are two status bytes not yet defined: 0xf0 and 0xf7. These are used by the System Exclusive message, often abbreviated at SysEx. SysEx provides a path to send arbitrary data over a MIDI connection. There is a group of predefined messages for complex data, like fine grained control of MIDI Time code machinery. SysEx is also used to send manufacturer defined data, such as patches, or even firmware updates. System Exclusive messages are longer than other MIDI messages, and can be any length. The messages are of the following format: 0xF0, 0xID, 0xdd, ...... 0xF7 The message is bookended with distinct bytes. It opens with the Start Of Exclusive (SOX) data byte, 0xF0. The next one to three bytes after the start are an identifier. Values from 0x01 to 0x7C are one-byte vendor IDs, assigned to manufacturers who were involved with MIDI at the beginning. If the ID is 0x00, it’s a three-byte vendor ID - the next two bytes of the message are the value. <pre> ID 0x7D is a placeholder for non-commercial entities. ID 0x7E indicates a predefined Non-realtime SysEx message. ID 0x7F indicates a predefined Realtime SysEx message. </pre> After the ID is the data payload, sent as a stream of bytes. The transfer concludes with the End of Exclusive (EOX) byte, 0xF7. The payload data must follow the guidelines for MIDI data bytes – the MSB must not be set, so only 7 bits per byte are actually usable. If the MSB is set, it falls into three possible scenarios. An End of Exclusive byte marks the ordinary termination of the SysEx transfer. System Real Time messages may occur within the transfer without interrupting it. The recipient should handle them independently of the SysEx transfer. Other status bytes implicitly terminate the SysEx transfer and signal the start of new messages. Some inexpensive USB-to-MIDI interfaces aren’t capable of handling messages longer than four bytes. {| class="wikitable sortable" width="90%" ! width="10%" |Status D7----D0 ! width="10%" |Data Byte(s) D7----D0 ! width="20%" |Description |- |<!--Status-->11110000 || <!--Data-->0iiiiiii [0iiiiiii 0iiiiiii] 0ddddddd --- --- 0ddddddd 11110111 || <!--Description-->System Exclusive.

While a key is being held down, the player can press harder on the key. The controller measures this, and converts it into MIDI messages. Aftertouch comes in two flavors, with two different status messages. The first flavor is polyphonic aftertouch, where every key on the controller is capable of sending its own independent pressure information. The messages are of the following format: <pre> 0xnc, 0xkk, 0xpp n is the status (0xA) c is the channel nybble kk is the key number (0 to 127) pp is the pressure value (0 to 127) </pre> Polyphonic aftertouch is an uncommon feature, usually found on premium quality instruments, because every key requires a separate pressure sensor, plus the circuitry to read them all. Much more commonly found is channel aftertouch. Instead of needing a discrete sensor per key, it uses a single, larger sensor to measure pressure on all of the keys as a group. The messages omit the key number, leaving a two-byte format <pre> 0xnc, 0xpp n is the status (0xD) c is the channel number pp is the pressure value (0 to 127) </pre> Pitch Bend (0xE0) Many keyboards have a wheel or lever towards the left of the keys for pitch bend control. This control is usually spring-loaded, so it snaps back to the center of its range when released. This allows for both upward and downward bends. Pitch Bend Wheel The wheel sends pitch bend messages, of the format <pre> 0xnc, 0xLL, 0xMM n is the status (0xE) c is the channel number LL is the 7 least-significant bits of the value MM is the 7 most-significant bits of the value </pre> You’ll notice that the bender data is actually 14 bits long, transmitted as two 7-bit data bytes. This means that the recipient needs to reassemble those bytes using binary manipulation. 14 bits results in an overall range of 214, or 0 to 16,383. Because it defaults to the center of the range, the default value for the bender is halfway through that range, at 8192 (0x2000). Control Change (0xB0) In addition to pitch bend, MIDI has provisions for a wider range of expressive controls, sometimes known as continuous controllers, often abbreviated CC. These are transmitted by the remaining knobs and sliders on the keyboard controller shown below. Continuous Controllers These controls send the following message format: <pre> 0xnc, 0xcc, 0xvv n is the status (0xB) c is the MIDI channel cc is the controller number (0-127) vv is the controller value (0-127) </pre> Typically, the wheel next to the bender sends controller number one, assigned to modulation (or vibrato) depth. It is implemented by most instruments. The remaining controller number assignments are another point of confusion. The MIDI specification was revised in version 2.0 to assign uses for many of the controllers. However, this implementation is not universal, and there are ranges of unassigned controllers. On many modern MIDI devices, the controllers are assignable. On the controller keyboard shown in the photos, the various controls can be configured to transmit different controller numbers. Controller numbers can be mapped to particular parameters. Virtual synthesizers frequently allow the user to assign CCs to the on-screen controls. This is very flexible, but it might require configuration on both ends of the link and completely bypasses the assignments in the standard. Program Change (0xC0) Most synthesizers have patch storage memory, and can be told to change patches using the following command: <pre> 0xnc, 0xpp n is the status (0xc) c is the channel pp is the patch number (0-127) </pre> This allows for 128 sounds to be selected, but modern instruments contain many more than 128 patches. Controller #0 is used as an additional layer of addressing, interpreted as a “bank select” command. Selecting a sound on such an instrument might involve two messages: a bank select controller message, then a program change. Audio & Midi are not synchronized, what I can do ? Buy a commercial software package but there is a nasty trick to synchronize both. It's a bit hardcore but works for me: Simply put one line down to all midi notes on your pattern (use Insert key) and go to 'Misc. Setup', adjust the latency and just search a value that will make sound sync both audio/midi. The stock Sin/Saw/Pulse and Rnd waveforms are too simple/common, is there a way to use something more complex/rich ? You have to ability to redirect the waveforms of the instruments through the synth pipe by selecting the "wav" option for the oscillator you're using for this synth instrument, samples can be used as wavetables to replace the stock signals. Sound banks like soundfont (sf2) or Kontakt2 are not supported at the moment ====DAW Audio Evolution 4==== Audio Evolution 4 gives you unsurpassed power for digital audio recording and editing on the Amiga. The latest release focusses on time-saving non-linear and non-destructive editing, as seen on other platforms. Besides editing, Audio Evolution 4 offers a wide range of realtime effects, including compression, noise gate, delays, reverb, chorus and 3-band EQ. Whether you put them as inserts on a channel or use them as auxillaries, the effect parameters are realtime adjustable and can be fully automated. Together with all other mixing parameters, they can even be controlled remotely, using more ergonomic MIDI hardware. Non-linear editing on the time line, including cut, copy, paste, move, split, trim and crossfade actions The number of tracks per project(s) is unlimited .... AHI limits you to recording only two at a time. i.e. not on 8 track sound cards like the Juli@ or Phase 88. sample file import is limited to 16bit AIFF (not AIFC, important distinction as some files from other sources can be AIFC with aiff file extension). and 16bit WAV (pcm only) Most apps use the Music Unit only but a few apps also use Unit (0-3) instead or as well. * Set up AHI prefs so that microphone is available. (Input option near the bottom) stereo++ allows the audio piece to be placed anywhere and the left-right adjusted to sound positionally right hifi best for music playback if driver supports this option Load 16bit .aif .aiff only sample(s) to use not AIFC which can have the same ending.

So no way to pass on an AC3 encoded stream unmodified to the digital outputs through AHI. *No master volume handling. Each application has to set its own volume. So each driver implements its own custom driver-mixer interface for handling master volumes, mute and preamps. *Only one output stream. So all input gets mixed into one output. *No automatic handling of output direction based on connected cables. *No monitor input selection. Only monitor volume control. select the correct input (Don't mistake enabled sound for the correct input.) The monitor will feedback audio to the lineout and hp out no matter if you have selected the correct input to the ADC. The monitor will provide sound for any valid input. This will result in free mixing when recording from the monitor input instead of mic/line because the monitor itself will provide the hardware mixing for you. Be aware that MIC inputs will give two channel mono. Only Linein will give real stereo. Now for the not working part. Attempt to record from linein in the AE4 record window, the right channel is noise and the left channel is distorted. Even with the recommended HIFI 16bit Stereo++ mode at 48kHz. Channels Monitor Gain Inout Output Advanced settings - Debugging via serial port * Options -> Soundcard In/Out * Options -> SampleRate * Options -> Preferences F6 for Sample File List Setting a grid is easy as is measuring the BPM by marking a section of the sample. Is your kick drum track "not in time" ? If so, you're stumped in AE4 as it has no fancy variable time signatures and definitely no 'track this dodgy rhythm' function like software of the nature of Logic has. So if your drum beat is freeform you will need to work in freeform mode. (Real music is free form anyway). If the drum *is* accurate and you are just having trouble measuring the time, I usually measure over a range of bars and set the number of beats in range to say 16 as this is more accurate, Then you will need to shift the drum track to match your grid *before* applying the grid. (probably an iterative process as when the grid is active samples snap to it, and when inactive you cannot see it). AE4 does have ARexx but the functions are more for adding samples at set offsets and starting playback / recording. These are the usual features found in DAWs... * Recording digital audio, midi sequencer and mixer * virtual VST instruments and plug-ins * automation, group channels, MIDI channels, FX sends and returns, audio and MIDI editors and music notation editor * different track views * mixer and track layout (but not the same as below) * traditional two windows (track and mixer) Mixing - mixdown Could not figure out how to select what part I wanted to send to the aux, set it to echo and return. Pretty much the whole echo effect. Or any effect. Take look at page17 of the manual. When you open the EQ / Aux send popup window you will see 4 sends. Now from the menu choose the windows menu. Menus->Windows-> Aux Returns Window or press F5 You will see a small window with 4 volume controls and an effects button for each. Click a button and add an effects to that aux channel, then set it up as desired (note the reverb effect has a special AUX setting that improves its use with the aux channel, not compulsory but highly useful). You set the amount of 'return' on the main mix in the Aux Return window, and the amount sent from each main mixer channel in the popup for that channel. Again the aux sends are "prefade" so the volume faders on each channel do not affect them. Tracking Effects - fade in To add some echoes to some vocals, tried to add an effect on a track but did not come out. This is made more complicated as I wanted to mute a vocal but then make it echo at the muting point. Want to have one word of a vocal heard and then echoed off. But when the track is mute the echo is cancelled out. To correctly understand what is happening here you need to study the figure at the bottom of page 15 on the manual. You will see from that that the effects are applied 'prefade' So the automation you applied will naturally mute the entire signal. There would be a number of ways to achieve the goal, You have three real time effects slots, one for smoothing like so Sample -> Amplify -> Delay Then automate the gain of the amplify block so that it effectively mutes the sample just before the delay at the appropriate moment, the echo effect should then be heard. Getting the effects in the right order will require experimentation as they can only be added top down and it's not obvious which order they are applied to the signal, but there only two possibilities, so it wont take long to find out. Using MUTE can cause clicks to the Amplify can be used to mute more smoothly so that's a secondary advantage.

Then drop-down menu and select Save As ("NewName".proj name), then drop-down menu to open parameter and select Save All ( .par name) After launching the software, there is a the Module Control Panel composed of five icons. It is a dock type shortcut of the first few functions of the drop-down menu *Database - Load (#?.proj), Append, Create, Edit, Save, Dir List (of WCSProject drawer), *Data Ops - Extract / Convert Interp DEM, Import DLG, DXF, WDB and export LW map 3d formats *Map View - Database file Loader leading to Map View Control with option to the Database Editor *Parameters - Editor for Motion, Color, Ecosystem, Clouds, Waves, management of altimeter files DEM, sclock settings etc *Render - rendering terrain These are more in the pull down menu but not in the dock *Motion Editor *Color Editor *Ecosys Editor Simple minimal workflow *Load database (1st icon - 1st) *Set parameters and save .par file (4th icon) *Render scene (5th icon) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbTwwR2qcc4 Youtube], [], <pre> .proj new project name which creates a drawer of additional files .binary array, ascii array .xyz , z buffer, DTED .dt0, vista 1990s dem, iff conversion .Obj with .elev, .frd with .hdr maps, - digital elevation model (DEM) is a 3D representation of elevation data in various formats USGS 7.5MinDEM, .par </pre> Since for the time being no project is loaded, a query window indicates a procedural error when clicking on the rendering icon (right end of the bar). The menu is quite traditional; it varies according to the activity of the windows. To display any altimetric file in the "Mapview" (third icon of the panel), There are three possibilities: * Loading of a demonstration project. * The import of a DEM file, followed by texturing and packaging from the "Database-Editor" and the "Color-Editor". * The creation of an altimetric file in WCS format, then texturing. The altimeter file editing (display in the menu) is only made possible if the "Mapview" window is active. The software is made up of many windows and won't be able to describe them all. Know that "Color-Editor" and the "Data-Editor" comprise sufficient functions for obtaining an almost real rendering quality. You have the possibility of inserting vector objects in the "Data-Editor" (creation of roads, railways, etc.) The Map View (MapView) window *Database - Objects and Topos *View - Align, Center, Zoom, Pan, Move *Draw - Maps and distance *Object - Find, highlight, add points, conform topo, duplicate *Motion - Camera, Focus, path, elevation *Windows - DEM designer, Cloud (.cld) and wave (.wve) editor, You will notice that by selecting this window and simply moving the pointer to various points on the map you will see latitude and longitude values ​​change, along with the height. Drop-down menu and Modules, then select MapView and change the width of the window with the map to arrange it in the best way on the screen. With the Auto button the center. Window that then displays the contents of my DEM file, in this case the Grand Canyon. MapView allows you to observe the shape of the landscape from above ZOOM button Press the Zoom button and then with the pointer position on a point on the map, press the left mouse button and then move to the opposite corner to circumscribe the chosen area and press the left mouse button again, then we will see the enlarged area selected on the map. Would add that there is a box next to the Zoom button that allows the direct insertion of a value which, the larger it is, the smaller the magnification and the smaller the value, the stronger the magnification. At each numerical change you will need to press the DRAW button to update the view. PAN button Under Zoom you will find the PAN button which allows you to move the map at will in all directions by the amount you want. This is done by drawing a line in one direction, then press PAN and point to an area on the map with the pointer and press the left mouse button. At this point, leave it and move the pointer in one direction by drawing a line and press the left mouse button again to trigger the movement of the map on the screen (origin and end points). Do some experiments and then use the Auto button immediately below to recenter everything. There are parameters such as TOPO, VEC to be left checked and immediately below one that allows different views of the map with the Style command (Single, Multi, Surface, Emboss, Slope, Contour), each with its own particularities to highlight different details. Now you have the first basics to manage your project visually on the map. Close the MapView window and go further... Let's start working on ECOSYSTEMS If we select Emboss from the MapView Style command we will have a clear idea of ​​how the landscape appears, realizing that it is a predominantly desert region of our planet. Therefore we will begin to act on any vegetation present and the appearance of the landscape. With WCS we will begin to break down the elements of the landscape by assigning defined characteristics. It will be necessary to determine the classes of the ecosystem (Class) with parameters of Elevation Line (maximum altitude), Relative Elevation (arrangement on basins or convexities with respectively positive or negative parameters), Min Slope and Max Slope (slope). WCS offers the possibility of making ecosystems coexist on the same terrain with the UnderEco function, by setting a Density value. Ecosys Ecosystem Editor Let's open it from Modules, then Ecosys Editor. In the left pane you will find the list of ecosystems referring to the files present in our project. It will be necessary to clean up that box to leave only the Water and Snow landscapes and a few other predefined ones. We can do this by selecting the items and pressing the Remove button (be careful not for all elements the button is activated, therefore they cannot all be eliminated). Once this is done we can start adding new ecosystems. Scroll through the various Unused and as soon as the Name item at the top is activated allowing you to write, type the name of your ecosystem, adding the necessary parameters. <pre> Ecosystem1: Name: RockBase Class: Rock Density: 80 MinSlope: 15 UnderEco: Terrain Ecosystem2: Name: RockIncl Clss: Rock Density: 80 MinSlope: 30 UnderEco: Terrain Ecosystem3: Name: Grass Class Low Veg Density: 50 Height: 1 Elev Line : 1500 Rel El Eff: 5 Max Slope: 10 – Min Slope: 0 UnderEco: Terrain Ecosistema4: Name: Shrubs Class: Low Veg Density: 40 Height: 8 Elev Line: 3000 Rel El Eff: -2 Max Slope: 20 Min Slope : 5 UnderEco: Terrain Ecosistema5: Name: Terrain Class: Ground Density: 100 UnderEco: Terrain </pre> Now we need to identify an intermediate ecosystem that guarantees a smooth transition between all, therefore we select as Understory Ecosystem the one called Terrain in all ecosystems, except Snow and Water . Now we need to 'emerge' the Colorado River in the Canyon and we can do this by raising the sea level to 900 (Sea Level) in the Ecosystem called Water. Please note that the order of the ecosystem list gives priority to those that come after. So our list must have the following order: Water, Snow, Shrubs, RockIncl, RockBase, Terrain. It is possible to carry out all movements with the Swap button at the bottom. To put order you can also press Short List. Press Keep to confirm all the work done so far with Ecosystem Editor. Remember every now and then to save both the Project 'Modules/Save' and 'Parameter/Save All' EcoModels are made up of .etp .fgp .iff8 for each model Color Editor Now it's time to define the colors of our scene and we can do this by going to Modules and then Color Editor. In the list we focus on our ecosystems, created first. Let's go to the bottom of the list and select the first white space, assigning the name 'empty1', with a color we like and then we will find this element again in other environments... It could serve as an example for other situations! So we move to 'grass' which already exists and assign the following colors: R 60 G 70 B50 <pre> 'shrubs': R 60 G 80 B 30 'RockIncl' R 110 G 65 B 60 'RockBase' R 110 G 80 B 80 ' Terrain' R 150 G 30 B 30 <pre> Now we can work on pre-existing colors <pre> 'SunLight' R 150 G 130 B 130 'Haze and Fog' R 190 G 170 B 170 'Horizon' R 209 G 185 B 190 'Zenith' R 140 G 150 B 200 'Water' R 90 G 125 B 170 </pre> Ambient R 0 G 0 B 0 So don't forget to close Color Editor by pressing Keep. Go once again to Ecosystem Editor and assign the corresponding color to each environment by selecting it using the Ecosystem Color button. Press it several times until the correct one appears. Then save the project and parameters again, as done previously. Motion Editor Now it's time to take care of the framing, so let's go to Modules and then to Motion Editor. An extremely feature-rich window will open. Following is the list of parameters regarding the Camera, position and other characteristics: <pre> -Camera Altitude: 7.0 -Camera Latitude: 36.075 -Camera Longitude: 112.133 -Focus Attitude: -2.0 -Focus Latitude: 36.275 -Focus Longitude: 112.386 -Camera : 512 → rendering window -Camera Y: 384 → rendering window -View Arc: 80 → View width in degrees -Sun Longitude: 172 -Sun Latitude: -0.9 -Haze Start: 3.8 -Haze Range: 78, 5 </pre> As soon as the values ​​shown in the relevant sliders have been modified, we will be ready to open the CamView window to observe the wireframe preview. Let's not consider all the controls that will appear. Well from the Motion Editor if you have selected Camera Altitude and open the CamView panel, you can change the height of the camera by holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse up and down. To update the view, press the Terrain button in the adjacent window. As soon as you are convinced of the position, confirm again with Keep. You can carry out the same work with the other functions of the camera, such as Focus Altitude... Let's now see the next positioning step on the Camera map, but let's leave the CamView preview window open while we go to Modules to open the window at the same time MapView. We will thus be able to take advantage of the view from the other together with a subjective one. From the MapView window, select with the left mouse button and while it is pressed, move the Camera as desired. To update the subjective preview, always click on Terrain. While with the same procedure you can intervene on the direction of the camera lens, by selecting the cross and with the left button pressed you can choose the desired view. So with the pressure of Terrain I update the Preview. Possibly can enlarge or reduce the Map View using the Zoom button, for greater precision. Also write that the circle around the cameras indicates the beginning of the haze, there are two types (haze and fog) linked to the altitude. Would also add that the camera height is editable through the Motion Editor panel. The sun Let's see that changing the position of the sun from the Motion Editor. Press the SUN button at the bottom right and set the time and the date. Longitude and latitude are automatically obtained by the program. Always open the View Arc command from the Motion Editor panel, an item present in the Parameter List box. Once again confirm everything with Keep and then save again. Animation The animation part is not left-back and also occupies a window. The settings possibilities are enormous. A time line with dragging functions ("slide", "drag"...) comparable to that of LightWave completes this window. A small window is available for positioning the stars as a function of a date, in order to vary the seasons and their various events (and yes...). At the bottom of the "Motion-Editor", a "cam-view" function will give you access to a control panel. Different preview modes are possible. The rendering is also accessible through a window. No less than nine pages compose it. At this level, you will be able to determine the backup name of your images ("path"), the type of texture to be calculated, the resolution of the images, activate or deactivate functions such as the depth buffer ("zbuffer"), the blur, the background image, etc. Once all these parameters have been set, all you have to do is click on the "Render" button. For rendering go to Modules and then Render. Select the resolution, then under IMA select the name of the image. Move to FRA and indicate the level of fractal detail which of 4 is quite good. Then Keep to confirm and then reopen the window, pressing Render you will see the result. The image will be opened with any viewing program. Strengths: * Multi-window. * Quality of rendering. * Accuracy. * Opening, preview and rendering on CyberGraphX screen. * Extract / Convert Interp DEM, Import DLG, DXF, WDB and export LW map 3d formats * The "zbuffer" function. Weaknesses: * No OpenGL management * Calculation time. * No network computing tool. ====Writing CD / DVD - Frying Pan==== Can be backup DVDs (4GB ISO size limit due to use of FileInfoBlock), create audio cds from mp3's, and put .iso files on discs If using for the first time - click Drive button and Device set to ata.device and unit to 0 (zero) Click Tracks Button - Drive 1 - Create New Disc or Import Existing Disc Image (iso bin/cue etc.) - Session File open cue file If you're making a data cd, with files and drawers from your hard drive, you should be using the ISO Builder.. which is the MUI page on the left. ("Data/Audio Tracks" is on the right). You should use the "Data/Audio tracks" page if you want to create music cds with AIFF/WAV/MP3 files, or if you download an .iso file, and you want to put it on a cd. Click WRITE Button - set write speed - click on long Write button Examples Easiest way would be to burn a DATA CD, simply go to "Tracks" page "ISO Builder" and "ADD" everything you need to burn. On the "Write" page i have "Masterize Disc (DAO)", "Close Disc" and "Eject after Write" set. One must not "Blank disc before write" if one uses a CDR AUDIO CD from MP3's are as easy but tricky to deal with. FP only understands one MP3 format, Layer II, everything else will just create empty tracks Burning bootable CD's works only with .iso files. Go to "Tracks" page and "Data/Audio Tracks" and add the .iso ====odf==== Every ODF file is a collection of several subdocuments within a package (ZIP file), each of which stores part of the complete document. * content.xml – Document content and automatic styles used in the content. * styles.xml – Styles used in the document content and automatic styles used in the styles themselves. * meta.xml – Document meta information, such as the author or the time of the last save action. * settings.xml – Application-specific settings, such as the window size or printer information. To read document follow these steps: * Extracting .ods file. * Getting content.xml file (which contains sheets data). * Creating XmlDocument object from content.xml file. * Creating DataSet (that represent Spreadsheet file). * With XmlDocument select “table:table” elements, and then create adequate DataTables. * Parse child’s of “table:table” element and fill DataTables with those data. * At the end, return DataSet and show it in application’s interface. To write document follow these steps: * Extracting template.ods file (.ods file that we use as template). * Getting content.xml file. * Creating XmlDocument object from content.xml file. * Erasing all “table:table” elements from the content.xml file. * Reading data from our DataSet and composing adequate “table:table” elements. * Adding “table:table” elements to content.xml file. * Zipping that file as new .ods file. XLS file format The XLS file format contains streams, substreams, and records. These sheet substreams include worksheets, macro sheets, chart sheets, dialog sheets, and VBA module sheets. All the records in an XLS document start with a 2-byte unsigned integer to specify Record Type (rt), and another for Count of Bytes (cb). A record cannot exceed 8224 bytes. If larger than the rest is stored in one or more continue records. * Workbook stream **Globals substream ***BoundSheet8 record - info for Worksheet substream i.e. name, location, type, and visibility. (4bytes the lbPlyPos FilePointer, specifies the position in the Workbook stream where the sheet substream starts) **Worksheet substream (sheet) - Cell Table - Row record - Cells (2byte=row 2byte=column 2byte=XF format) ***Blank cell record ***RK cell record 32-bit number. ***BoolErr cell record (2-byte Bes structure that may be either a Boolean value or an error code) ***Number cell record (64-bit floating-point number) ***LabelSst cell record (4-byte integer that specifies a string in the Shared Strings Table (SST). Specifically, the integer corresponds to the array index in the RGB field of the SST) ***Formula cell record (FormulaValue structure in the 8 bytes that follow the cell structure. The next 6 bytes can be ignored, and the rest of the record is a CellParsedFormula structure that contains the formula itself) ***MulBlank record (first 2 bytes give the row, and the next 2 bytes give the column that the series of blanks starts at. Next, a variable length array of cell structures follows to store formatting information, and the last 2 bytes show what column the series of blanks ends on) ***MulRK record ***Shared String Table (SST) contains all of the string values in the workbook.

This struggle with identity displays itself through the use of social media platforms and the choices made in regards to how one presents themselves to their "followers" or "friends" as well as the information they choose to share. Every social media account is a construction of identity that brands an individual and how they present themselves under a specific presentation. This display of the self through public and private personas can often lead to a blurring of the line between private life and public account, and as a result the individual's identity is altered through their online, marketed self, leading to questions of identity, self-presentation, authentic representation, and community pressures. As well as this, with modern technology the line between what constitutes 'the online' and consequently what constitutes real-life is ever changing and evolving as our understanding of the use of technology changes. This chapter will highlight the history behind today's technological wave and consider the various platforms through which identity is divided. It notes the pros and cons of anonymity online, singular and fragmented identities, theories associated with the digital divide, as well as covers the effects that this divide has on society and the self. = History and Application of Digital Media = == History of Digital Media Development == The conceptual work of digital media can be traced back to the scientist and engineer Vavennar Bush and his work “[[w:As We May Think|As We May Think]]”, published in [[w:The Atlantic|The Atlantic Monthly]] in 1945. In this essay and “Memex Revisited” (1967) Bush envisioned a device which allows us to compress and store knowledge, which memorizes everything, and builds as well as combines trails <ref>Bush, Vavennar (1967). “Memex Revisited”.

In Chun and Fisher (eds.) (2016) New Media, Old Media: a history and theory reader (2nd ed.). London: Routledge, p. 91</ref>, writes Bush about the notion of his Memex. Moreover, he assigns the computer to aid humans by storing and providing data, to engage with us and even to be our gaming opponent in chess. Bush predicted different technology invented after his publications such as personal computers, speed recognition, the World Wide Web and online encyclopaedias such as Wikipedia. The Memex would mimic a human’s mind and its associative process, hence it would be a [[../Technology as an Extension of Self|Technology as an Extension of Self]]. ===First Analog Computers=== In the early 19th century [[w: Charles Babbage|Charles Babbage]], an English mechanical engineer conceptualized the first Machine-readable codes and information.

In essence, to provide everyone in the globe an affordable, basic access to the internet service. Zuckerberg expects to do so through the use of wireless drones, satellites and lasers. <ref> Grossmann, Lev [http://time.com/facebook-world-plan/ “Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook's Plan to Wire the World”]In: TIME. December 15 issue. </ref> == The Evolution of Digital Culture == Jill Walker Rettburg, in her article "Written, Visual and Quantitative Self-Representations" <ref>http://jilltxt.net/books/Seeing-Ourselves-Through-Technology-full-book.pdf</ref> suggests that "there are three distinct modes of self-presentation in digital media: written, visual and quantitative." She goes on to suggest that each of these modes has a specific and different pre-digital history. Diaries, memoirs, books and autobiographies are the antecedents of today’s blog posts and written social media status updates; selfies, for example, have taken over from visual artists’ self-portraits. Quantitative modes - those which feature personal statistical data previously found in lists, graphs, and maps - have been replaced with spreadsheets and GPS activity trackers. Despite the variety of digital and pre-digital methods of self-presentation, Walker Rettburg emphasises the concept that "technology is a means to see part of ourselves," whichever form that might take. “The assumption is that we’re addicted to the technology. The technology doesn’t matter. It’s all about the people and information. Humans are both curious and social critters. We want to understand and interact. Technology introduces new possibilities for doing so, and that’s where the passion comes in. We’re passionate about technology because we’re passionate about people and information, and they go hand in hand.” <ref>Mandiberg, Michael. The Social Media Reader, edited by Michael Mandiberg, NYU Press, 2012.</ref> Following Mandiberg’s assumption and the notion of technology as [[b: Living in a Connected World/Technology as an Extension of Self| an extension of ourselves]] together with the rapid development of our digital media, it changed our culture, our everyday behaviour and our social engagement on every level possible. How the different mediums work and which effects the connected world has on ourselves, our identity, self-representation and our perception of each other is discussed in the sections below. == Media == === Social Media === {{quote|''Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth''|''Oscar Wilde''<ref>Lovink, Geert. "Networks Without a Cause: a Critique of Social Media". Polity Press, 2011.</ref>}} The concept of the social networking site (SNS) has become popular in the culture of the mid to late 2000s and as such is often linked with the creation of platforms such as [[w:Myspace|Myspace]] and [[w:Facebook|Facebook]], however its origins date back several years prior, to the late 1990s.<ref>Lovink, Geert. "Networks Without a Cause: a Critique of Social Media". Polity Press, 2011.</ref> The understood concept of a social media platform that introduced both a sense of community through friends as well as a sense of individualism through profiling was [[w:SixDegrees.com|Six Degrees]]. Six Degrees was a website marketed as a tool for connection with friends that launched in 1997 and lasted until 2001, when it was shut down.<ref>Boyd, Danah and Ellison, Nicole. (2007). "Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship." ''Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication'', 13: 210–23.</ref> The basic layout of the site consisted of a personal profile for each user, an ability to add friends and, after 1998, the ability to search through lists of friends. Six Degrees, although the first to combine the personal features with a community aspect, crashed in late 2000 due to what the founder believed as being "simply ahead of its time".<ref>Boyd, Danah and Ellison, Nicole. (2007). "Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship." ''Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication'', 13: 210–23.</ref> Following the creation and failure of Six Degrees, the launches of [[w:Friendster|Friendster]] and [[w:Match.com|Match.com]] began a competition involving online community growth. Both websites introduced an emphasis on the individual profile and gained popularity through their specialization in online dating. The issues in fidelity led to the decline of both websites, specifically Friendster as it gained the reputation for "Fakesters", those who created false profiles using the images of others in order to draw people in. Friendster's system experienced several difficulties as the website saw more traffic than expected and was one of the first social networking sites to see one million users.<ref>Boyd, Danah and Ellison, Nicole. (2007). "Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship." ''Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication'', 13: 210–23.</ref> The website often credited with the introduction and popularity of social media platforms is Myspace. This website launched in 2003 and, after the announcement that Friendster would begin asking a fee of its users, gained a large amount of attention from previous users of other SNS platforms. Myspace gained popularity for being a community that accepted the outcasts of other platforms, noteably indi-rock bands who had been previously removed from other social networking sites. While Myspace was not designed with the intent, their acceptance of these rock bands led them to gain a connection with music that brought them a new demographic of users - teenagers.<ref>Boyd, Danah and Ellison, Nicole. (2007). "Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship." ''Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication'', 13: 210–23.</ref> The Myspace battle for users began to decline as the website became associated with false personas and sexual predators. As the concerns of identity rose in 2005, in came a new platform that gained the attention of the population: Facebook. ==== Facebook ==== {{quote|''Facebook rival Myspace is about being someone fake on the internet...[it's] very healthy that the real people have won out over the fake people''|''Peter Thiel''<ref>Lovink, Geert.

The website encouraged community growth and offered a privacy option to all members that protected a portion of an individual's profile from outside attention. An aspect of individuality was created through profile creation as Facebook targeted not only basic biological facts about its users, but offered the ability to personalize one's profile to include likes and dislikes such as movies, shows, books, and music.<ref>Boyd, Danah and Ellison, Nicole. (2007). "Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship." ''Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication'', 13: 210–23.</ref> Facebook's defining trait came from its emphasis of the "true self", encouraging users to portray their personalities through their online posts with no disguising usernames or alternate identities that had been created on previous SNS platforms. Facebook, unlike its competitor Myspace, encouraged a single identity that synced with the legal information of an individual one was given at birth. This emphasis on the individual, true self came about as a response to the [[w:9/11|9/11]] attack that took place in New York on September 11, 2001.<ref>Lovink, Geert.

Facebook, although a social media platform for building community, has often been linked to personal archives and noted as a modernized version of scrapbooking.<ref>Good, Katie. (2012) "From Scrapbook to Facebook: a History of Personal Media Assemblage and Archives". ''New Media and Society'', 15:4, pg 557 - 573.</ref> Although the main purpose behind the website is a social aspect, it has been suggested that Facebook posts often have an archival aspect to them as they mark an event or moment of one's life that can later be reflected upon and celebrated. Both platforms also depict an image of one's life that has been carefully selected to portray a version of the self to others. With the development of Facebook, the SNS platform offered multiple variations to display one's individuality through the selection of "bumper stickers" that would decorate one's page with bands chosen by the individual. These "bumper stickers" often coincided with the "likes" and "fan pages" individuals prominently displayed on their profile. The combination emphasized select traits carefully chosen to portray a slightly augmented version of the self. ==== Instagram ==== Instagram launched in 2010 as a free photo-based application that offered individuals the opportunity to edit and share photographs taken from their mobile devices. <ref>Salomon, Danielle. (2013). "Moving on from Facebook: Using Instagram to connect with undergraduates and engage in teaching and learning". ''College and Research Library News''. 74:8. 408 - 412.</ref> The mobile app offers a live connection with followers as photographs can be taken and instantly uploaded with the option of editing through a filter before posting. This instant picture upload is then able to be liked and commented on by followers, similar to Facebook but with a higher emphasis on the visual aspect of one's life as well as quick and easy access.<ref>"FAQ." FAQ • Instagram. N.p., 2017. Web. 01 Mar. 2017</ref> The company was bought out by Facebook in 2012 and as such now offers a link to Facebook profiles when joining the Instagram community. Instagram posts are therefore able to be posted directly to Facebook, connecting the communities of both applications and steadying the single identity enforced by Facebook accounts. Instagram offers a similar "scrapbook" layout in marking moments of one's life through pictures displayed for followers or personal satisfaction. All pictures have the option of being geo-tagged, marking the location the image was taken as a way of noting the event that took place. Instagram offers an altered reality through the filter option available to all photos before being published. Individuals are able to not only select what pictures they wish to post, but they are able to alter them to depict a mood or change the quality of the picture. In relation, personal pictures (aka "selfies") of the user are occasionally posted with the comment "#nofilter" to display the beauty of the object in the posted image and emphasize the lack of editing done. This displays how society has grown to associate pictures with editing as the natural assumption has become alteration and clarification is now only needed for unedited material.<ref>Hochman, Nadav. (2013) "Zooming into an Instagram City: Reading the local through social media". ''First Monday''. 18:7.</ref> ==== Snapchat ==== Snapchat, launched in 2011, is a visual-based application that originally allowed users to send pictures and videos that "disappeared" in seconds. The origin of this app was to emphasize the true self in the moment and allow life to be shared with friends.<ref>"Snap Inc." Snap Inc. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Mar. 2017.</ref> Through the development of the app, pictures are now able to be saved to one's "memory" as well as posted on one's "story" that is visible to all snapchat contacts. Development has also introduced photographic and video filters that offer a voice alteration and the option of sharing pictures for up to ten seconds at a time. Snapchat now offers an option to follow the stories of news, celebrities, and current events, alongside its original concept of a friend-based platform.<ref>"Snap Inc." Snap Inc. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Mar. 2017.</ref> Snapchat's focus on the instant appeals to a youthful demographic as it offers the ability to maintain relationships over long distances through pictures and videos that share a moment over distance and time. Snapchat also offers an escape from the concerns of identity management that other forms of social media contain.<ref>Velten, Justin & Arif, Rauf. (2016). "The Influence of Snapchat on Interpersonal Relationship Development and Human Connection". ''The Journal of Social Media in Society''. 5:2.</ref> Snapchat is similar to face-to-face interaction in its lack of permanence. Similar to a conversation, messages and images disappear and, aside from a brief moment of presentation, the message will likely be forgotten. With written forms of communication through social media one offers up a message that is meant to permanently be on display and will therefore present a part of their identity through their comment or reaction. Snapchat's creation appeared during a time of high anxiety regarding pictures and data of oneself on the internet. The ability to quickly send and receive pictures that "disappeared" offered an answer to the concerns of the public.<ref>Velten, Justin & Arif, Rauf. (2016). "The Influence of Snapchat on Interpersonal Relationship Development and Human Connection". ''The Journal of Social Media in Society''. 5:2.</ref> This answer provided people a safe location to send quick shots of their lives without the fear that it would be held against them for a longer period of time. === Gaming and Virtual Reality === This "escape from reality" that virtual reality in gaming has had such a large impact on society. It can effect how people feel about themselves, with research showing that a taller avatars can make a player feel more confident out with play as well as a smaller avatar doing the opposite. <ref>Lanier, Jaron. (2011) "You Are Not A Gadget: A Manifesto"</ref> As entire culture though, the Japanese culture has seen an actual affect on their country, in a vice documentary <ref>https://www.youtube.com/embed/qpZbu7J7UL4 </ref> "The Japanese Love Industry", the lead of the video explores and discusses the severe decrease in population due to things as the gaming culture with government surveys showing that "more than 60% of men aged 18-34" are single, talking how it is because of the generation's obsession with virtual reality and gaming. Saying they "prefer cyber girlfriends over real girlfriends". This kind of behaviour, combined with a lack of interest from the female side has had a direct effect on Japanese culture. It is an example of a society that would rather live inside, or through their screens rather than engage in the world around them. ==== Avatar Creation ==== Online gaming communities present an escape from the real world into a simulated and controlled environment. With the introduction of gaming avatars, researchers began to look into the blurred line between real and fantasized environments and personas in regards to the link to identity creation and presentation. A lead researcher in the area of multi-user domains (MUD's) is [[W:Sherry Turkle|Sherry Turkle]] whose research in 1995 considered the self as "not singular and unitary, but multiple and fragmented".<ref>Leahy, Matthew Michael & Schultze, Ulrike. "The Avatar-Self Relationship: Enacting Presence in Second Life". ''Association for Information Systems''. 2009. 2 - 15.</ref> This discovery of a fragmented self led to the conclusion that MUD's were a source through which one could display multiple personae and highlight the various aspects of oneself. The ability to create an avatar to exact details provided users an opportunity to create what they envision as their "true self" by displaying the characteristics that they often chose to hide. Avatars "give expressive freedom over an otherwise anonymous and static online presence"<ref>Joinson, Adam N. & Vasalou, Asimina. (2009). "Me, Myself, and I: The Role of Interactional Context on Self-Presentation Through Avatars". ''ScienceDirect''. 25:2</ref> and provide a unique sense of self to the individual playing the game. Avatar appearance has been linked to self-perception for the owners of these games and characters. It has been found that those who choose more attractive and taller avatars are often linked to more confident actions and far more likely to approach others of the opposite gender.<ref>Joinson, Adam N. & Vasalou, Asimina. (2009). "Me, Myself, and I: The Role of Interactional Context on Self-Presentation Through Avatars". ''ScienceDirect''. 25:2</ref> The use of physically ideal avatars leads to an alteration and experimentation in identity which "is often understood through acts that dislocate embodied identity from the self online and how such a dislocation enables one to enact multiple, contradictory identities"<ref>Murphy, Sheila. (2004). "Live in Your World, Play in Ours: The Spaces of Video Game Identity". ''Journal of Visual Culture''. 3:2.</ref> Turkle's research has been highly contested as others have argued for the extension of the singular self through an idealised visual version in avatar creation.<ref>Leahy, Matthew Michael & Schultze, Ulrike. "The Avatar-Self Relationship: Enacting Presence in Second Life". ''Association for Information Systems''. 2009. 2 - 15.</ref> Turkle's argument offers the avatar as an alternate self through which one can express characteristic through physical features in a fantastical manner (such as skin colour, size, shape, human, animal, alien, etc), however her approach has been commented as being an "over-fragmented depiction of the avatar-self relationship"<ref>Leahy, Matthew Michael & Schultze, Ulrike. "The Avatar-Self Relationship: Enacting Presence in Second Life". ''Association for Information Systems''. 2009. 2 - 15.</ref> and researchers have suggested that gamers often have one or two avatars whose physical creation is meant to represent the idealised version of themselves and in turn provides users with confidence when interacting online. The avatar, although based on the self, acts as a tool to create distance between the user and those they associate with in online gaming communities. It should be noted that the connection of the self with one's avatar is often a link that is manifested in the real world through an aspect known as [[w:cosplay|cosplay]]. Cosplay allows individuals to dress like characters from games, movies, comics, and other fantasy universes in an attempt to connect with the character and other like-minded individuals in similar communities. Cosplay is common at conventions and can be viewed as the real-life complement to avatars. While online avatars hide one's true identity and allow for the emphasis of certain aspects of one's personality, the same can be said for cosplay within a physical world environment. ==== Second Life ==== [[File:Human female avatar, Second Life.png|thumb|Human female avatar, Second Life]] [[w:Second Life|Second Life]] is a virtual reality game created in 2003 that offered a world in which there was no goal to be achieved, merely a reality for the player to self-create. Players in Second Life are represented through avatars that are created upon registration of the game. These avatars, known in the game as residents, are capable of being whatever form the user chooses (human, animal, abstract figure) and can appear as the user's physical appearance or another figure entirely.<ref>"Second Life Avatars and their Real Life". Web Urbanist. Retrieved June 18, 2007.</ref> Avatars act as the player's extension providing a self that is aware and controlled by the member. These avatars are capable of interaction with each other, places, and objects; similar to real life experience. Second Life offers an extension of reality through the ability to explore the world, meet others, join groups and communities, set up shops, and buy and sell virtual property. Second Life provides the user an opportunity to live their life in a different manner, beginning with the creation of their "other self" or avatar. The naming of your other self creates a distance through the anonymity of a username capable of being whatever the user imagines.<ref>Boon, Stuart & Sinclair, Christine. (2009). "A World I Don't Inhabit: Disquiet and Identity in Second Life and Facebook". ''Education Media International''. 46:2</ref> The next step is the visual creation of the avatar through which "users can attempt to replicate their real world bodies digitally, or they can create extravagant, idealised bodies, or go further still and inhabit animal or robot bodies"<ref>Boon, Stuart & Sinclair, Christine. (2009). "A World I Don't Inhabit: Disquiet and Identity in Second Life and Facebook". ''Education Media International''. 46:2</ref> changing size, shape, skin colour, and more. The draw of virtual realities such as Second Life is the opportunity to experience things you otherwise would never achieve. Second Life offers flight, teleportation, travel, and adventure in a safe space where one can never truly be harmed. Living vicariously through the avatar presents gamers a chance to experience a different life in which they are not judged based on their physical appearance, but rather through their avatar's interactions within the Second Life community. Second Life provides an escape from reality, just as social media platforms used to prior to the invention of Facebook when one operated solely under a username, often with little association to one's true self. Second Life separates itself as a platform through the participation involved in the game's creation. Almost every element depicted on the game (architectural, natural, etc) was created by a Second Life user, making the world completely user-dependent.<ref>Bardzell, Shaowen & Odom, William. (2008). "The Experience of Embodied Space in Virtual Worlds: An Ethnography of a Second Life Community". ''SAGE Journals''. 11:3.</ref> ===Media Portrayals Through Black Mirror=== ====Fifteen Million Merits==== The Channel 4 turned Netflix Original show [[w:Black_Mirror|Black Mirror]] is a fantastic resource when discussing both the ideas of Avatar Creation and [[w:Virtual Reality|Virtual Reality]], in particular reference to the episode mentioned above "Fifteen Million Merits", which gives a reasonable depiction of a futuristic virtual reality where members of society carry out a meaningless task, aimlessly cycling on a bike that physically goes no where in order to earn money. Living through a virtual avatar, people can purchase items of clothing, possessions, subscriptions to different television programmes, etc. Literally carry out something meaningless to create virtual money to spend on a virtual existence. In the show there is one character who is heavily involved and invested into this process of buying and creating a better avatar. The avatar can travel and explore different experiences, interact and be part of something different but their real life selves are actually stuck within a small four walled room and on a bigger trapped being a slave to the system. This character and lifestyle, is a scary, yet realistic view of where our society could go if the obsession and dedication that people have for their avatars on games. This obsession lends itself to the extension of self, and also living through online brings us nicely on to the idea of virtual reality, and how some prefer the online life than reality and the damages this can cause. ==== Playtest ==== This episode of <i>Black Mirror</i> <ref>[[w:BlackMirror|Black Mirror]]</ref> is another fantastic episode that takes modern day culture discussed here, the ideas of Virtual Reality in combination with gaming. The push in current culture is to create more and more realistic games. From the mundanity of <i>"Sims"</i> <ref>[[w:TheSims|The Sims]]</ref> where gamers can create debatably realistic characters and do everyday mundane things, <i>(therefore real in their actions)</i> to one of the newest installments of <i>"Call of Duty: Advanced Warefare"</i><ref>[[w:CallofDuty:AdvancedWarfare|Call of Duty: Advanced Warefare]]</ref>, which features an almost identical reconstruction of the actor Kevin Spacey <ref>[[w:KevinSpacey|Kevin Spacey]]</ref>. This constant and current push for the most realistic gaming experience links very well to the upcoming market of Virtual Reality, <i>(real in it's visual experience)</i> and that growing industry is what is featured in this episode of <i>"Black Mirror"</i>. The main character signs up to try out a new gaming experience, in the final most extreme stage of testing he enters a <b>horror</b> genre of game. Where the game uses his own memories and mind to create personally scary situations. This incredibly realistic scenario is enjoyable until the game turns on the main character and experiences his darker, deeper fears and spirals out of control. This escalation really explores the dangerous path this realistic gaming experience society is venturing down. Like most <i>Black Mirror</i> episodes it takes a current piece of culture that is damaging or has a strong possibility to be damaging and pushes it to the extremes to show a scarily realistic digital future. == Chat Rooms == === Chat Rooms === ==== Cyber-bullying ==== Cyber-bullying is defined as harassment or abuse using electronic mediums of communication. It can involve all the typical forms of bullying except physical harm. It should be noted however, that encouragement to inflict self-harm is common within the context of cyberbullying. The effects of cyberbullying are not just visible online. Their real-world effects can be sever and according to the [http://cyberbullying.org/facts| Cyberbullying Research Center] self-harm, substance abuse, school problems and delinquency are related to instances of cyberbullying. In a meta-analysis on the subject, Kowalski et al. noted that among victims of cyberbullying, stress and suicidal ideation (the thought and intention of committing suicide) were the most common effects of cyberbullying.<ref>Kowalski, Robin et al. "Bullying In The Digital Age: A Critical Review And Meta-Analysis Of Cyberbullying Research Among Youth". Psychological Bulletin 140.4 (2014): n. pag. Web. 7 Mar. 2017.</ref> Real-life influence of cyber-bullying then, is incontrovertible. In the age of social media and always-on culture, the online world is at the forefront of so many adolescent minds that real-life effects will naturally happen. Emotional investment in one's online presence, and the varying ideals of self-presentation that different social media platforms dictate in our culture mean that the effects of hurtful language and actions online feels the same as in the real-world. In the 2015 film [[w:Cyberbully (2015 film)|Cyberbully]] the main character is coerced using threats of the release of private photographs, files, and evidence of her own cyberbullying tendencies. Such is the prevalence of online abuse that it now forms a narrative in media that engages with it and shows through different lenses, the effects of it. Similarly in the 2010 film [[w:Chatroom (film)|Chatroom]] characters engage with each other and through herd mentality encourage each other to cyberbully. The nature of cyberbullying lends itself to a detachment by its perpetrators from the consequences of such behaviour. Because of a currently-still-perceived divide between real-life and the online, a measure of detachment and inability or refusal to think about potential effects of online behaviour exists<ref>http://users.rider.edu/~suler/psycyber/disinhibit.html</ref> === Public and Private Forums === ====Public Forums ==== A Public Forum can be defined as a space, both physical and non-physical, where a group can gather and freely discuss their views on any topic. Within reason. As long as they abide by the guide lines set by the First Amendment – free speech<ref>Staff, L. (2010, February 05). First Amendment. Retrieved from https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/first_amendment</ref>. By traditional standards a sidewalk, a park, and a street can all be defined as Public Forums. They are considered as spaces open to public discourse, and can also be referred to as ‘open forums’. As to can all Public Forums. [[w: Forum (legal)|Forum (legal)]] The term ‘Open Forum’ harkens back to Ancient Rome where the Forum was at the centre of every Civitas – settlement. The Forum in these settlements would have been the beating heart and were most often used for markets. However most major events, speeches, and discussions would also take place within them.[[w:Forum (Roman)|Forum (Roman)]] As human civilization has evolved so has our means to share information. Now the most common forms of the Public Forum used are non-physical online platforms. Arguably the most popular platform, boasting over 1.8 billion active monthly users, is Facebook<ref>https://www.statista.com/statistics/264810/number-of-monthly-active-facebook-users-worldwide/</ref>; Tumblr is also an exceedingly popular platform, and provides its users far greater freedom of expression than Facebook. Reddit is another big platform that has been described as the front page of the internet [[w: Reddit]] ; where its registered users can submit content, such as text posts or direct links. It is upon these three platforms that this piece shall focus on as full the number of online Public Platforms is too great to discuss them all. The three social platforms already mentioned (Facebook, tumblr, and Reddit) work in a similar manner. In the case of both Facebook and tumblr you follow/befriend those you wish to and then you are able to open, or join, a discussion with them and their peers. Reddit provides numerous forums that cover an immeasurable number of topics; ranging from basic tech support, to cooking recipes. They are all Public Forums as most of the information and discourse is readily available to any user. Tumblr [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumblr]] is a blogging website where users create their own urls and build their own blogs. The users have the freedom to choose whether they upload their own content or to “reblog” content posted by another user that they follow. Because of this users of tumblr have a great deal of freedom to express themselves, and an expansive platform for discussion. Facebook [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook]] is one of the most widely used social media platforms in the world and therefor acts as one of the largest Public Forums there is. Though users can only see the content shared, posted and liked by their ‘friends’ they can communicate with all users via pages, groups and events. As such it is a platform that is frequently used to organise political marches, and to its page/group system enable likeminded individuals to easily meet; and to share ideas. Reddit [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit]] is described as an American social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website. As mentioned its forums cover a massive amount of information and has a discussion open for anyone that wishes to join. ==== Private Forums ==== By nature Private Forums are very similar to Public Forums, however where they differ is in the control of discussion content. Whereas Public Forums function along the lines of free speech, each Private Forum is controlled by its administrators. The nature of both forums is the sharing and discourse of information, but as mentioned, Private Forums are controlled by individuals rather than laws. Private Forums will generally require potential users to be invited by an existing member of the community, and will sometimes require membership fees be paid. The Forums will be created with a particular topic in mind, and membership – it can be assumed – is requested due out of a desire to actively participate and benefit the discussion. The Private Forum will be owned by its administrator(s) as it enables them to control privacy settings, along with content. ==== Deep Web ==== When discussing the differences between Public and Private Forums an interesting topic is the Deep Net, or Deep Web, which exists as a grey zone between the two. The Dark Net is quite literally the murky depths of the internet and is referred to as the ‘deep web’ because of how much is hidden within it. Though its contents are open to anyone that wishes to search them, and it does provide the user with unparalleled levels of freedom, one does first require a deep web browser to access it<ref>The Ultimate Guide To The Deep Web. Retrieved from http://www.sickchirpse.com/deep-web-guide/</ref>. The browser takes the first steps away from the concept of a Public Forum as it makes you anonymous, allowing you to search in safety – allegedly users cannot be guaranteed their safety according to a recent Wikileaks publication <ref>MacAskill, E., Thielman, S., & Oltermann, P. (2017, March 07). WikiLeaks publishes 'biggest ever leak of secret CIA documents'. Retrieved from https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/mar/07/wikileaks-publishes-biggest-ever-leak-of-secret-cia-documents-hacking-surveillance</ref>. From the users’ new position of anonymity they then possess the freedom to explore. Content on the Deep Web ranges from sites that provide any illegal substance you can think of; to weapons; and the deeper you go the darker it gets with a massive availability of illegal pornography.The Guardian reported that is thought only 0.03%<ref>Beckett, A. (2009, November 25). The dark side of the internet. Retrieved from https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2009/nov/26/dark-side-internet-freenet</ref> of the web’s content comes up in regular searches, and the rest lies in the dark web’s depths. It is in this anonymity and the way each site is controlled by it administrator(s) that it resembles more a Private Forum. However as it is so huge it cannot simply be referred to as one or the other. === Online Dating === ==== History ==== Like many aspects of the digital world, Online Dating has its roots in different mediums of the past<ref>Infographic: A History of Love & Technology.

The documentary highlights a story about how seafood suppliers faced problems with shipping cod. They meat supposedly would mushy because the fish had been sluggish.

It is not just about why people catfish, but also how does it impact the victim. People catfish for several different reasons. Every person is different and catfishing may fulfill different needs. Some reasons are, loneliness, revenge, greed, and people just seeking a thrill. <ref>Palmer, Roxanne. "Where Does 'Catfish' Come From? Online Hoax Movie Inspired By Fisherman's Lore." N.p., 17 Jan. 2013. Web.</ref> People who are lonely may take on fake personas because they have no one. They may feel isolated from their communities and do not see a different outlet for developing relationships. Someone who feels they are inadequate may pretend to be a fitness model, or maybe someone is struggling with their sexuality or gender may turn to catfishing as a way to cope. <ref>Campbell, Kelly, Dr. "Catfish and Secrets."

It is an unfortunate reality, but people will seek revenge on their significant others, relatives, or exs. Greed is incredibly damaging. People who use this to motivate their catfishing go in with the intention of being harmful. Sensation Seekers are often not malicious, but they get a thrill from taking on a new personality. These people use it to feel a certain emotion or sensation.<ref>"Catfishing – What Is It, Where It Came from and the Psychology Behind Catfish Online Dating Scams." N.p., 02 Aug. 2016.

Secrecy is often found in most long-term relationships. It is not necessarily a bad thing. Catfish relationships, are not dissimilar from face to face relationships. People develop an intimacy and feelings for one another. The problem is, the secrecy is what the catfish needs. In these relationships the relationship flourishes with the secret intact. When the secret is revealed it the relationship dies. The trust that may have been established is gone.<ref>Campbell, K., Dr. (2013, June 24). Catfish and Secrets.

For example by religion like [https://www.christianmingle.com Christian Mingle] or by hobby such as [https://www.equestriancupid.com Equestrian Cupid]. ==== Realism and Deception ==== Online deception across the internet is defined as a users modification of his / hers self description between real life and the dating profiles they have created (Toma et al 2008) Several different factors affected the realism of their profiles and lead to deception online. These include factors of gender and the individuals personality under the presence of anonymity. Evolutionary psychologists have looked into the deception of realism between males and females, the modification of traits in online dating can mainly be explained through socially desirable responding. Enhancing the individuals “reproductive viability” <ref>Evan's and Brase, 2007</ref> Meaning that each gender placed focus on certain elements. It was found that men were more prone to exaggerating their economic stability and physical strength, woman were more likely to emphasise upon their physical attraction. These discontinuities in reality had been pinned down to the social constructions and expectations of each gender Each genders main misrepresentations also followed a pattern; where women are more prone to being discreet about their weight while men are more prone to misrepresent their age and personal interests. Deception over the internet is a phenomenon caused by a lacking process to verify information five by misleading profiles, that negatively affects the reputation of online dating websites, adding an element of mistrust through enabling misleading profiles the ability to pop up. <ref>Ellison, Heino, and Gibbs; 2006</ref> <ref>Sztompka 1999</ref> Sztompka backs this up, continuing to link an individuals intent to claim falscitalities as a result of a “lack of method for verification” <ref>Sztompka 1999</ref> which is especially vital when information given about an individual is communicated textually. This deception can easily lead to frustration and mistrust that could potentially lead to an individuals emotional and psychological damage. A study by Mills <ref>Mills 2007</ref> states that individual identity is broken down into 3 elements; physical appearance, attributed data and biographical data (ie education) Age, gender and appearance were the most commonly mislead factors within this. <ref>Steiger et al; 2007</ref> ==== Anonymity Diminishing Accountability ==== In short, individuals online who intend to deceive other do so through creating an online indignity different to the one in real life. However, it can be those who don't intend to deceive that are allured by the possibilities of personal gain that a lack of accountability through anonymity gives. This can be evidenced through Toma et al's study that 80% of online daters felt that people misrepresent their physical appearance in their online dating profiles.<ref>Toma et all ; 2008</ref> To extend physical boundaries, the individual user tended to expand on their self presentation. This correlates with the anonymous nature of the internet . A study by Suler concluded that internet induced anonymity is a key influencer on the difference between the real world and online world, assuring that this was also a key factor in causing the online disinhibition effect where there was a clear disassociation between online and offline identities. <ref>Suler; 2004</ref> ==== Realism, Anonymity and Technology ==== The free-form ‘descriptive’ set up of online dating websites and apps where users can create themselves in a more favourable light, even when what they have been writing is exaggerated or emphasised. When a certain image of an individual is then altered elements of their personality and herby identity are fictitious. The ability to edit your profile also encouraged other users to modify and shape their information. Reasoning behind this may be down to appeal to certain individuals (changing their values to align to someone on the website ) and change aspects that received negative feedback. Overall, the motives behind online daters point to the goal of wanting to be seen as more “attractive” and “likeable” in order to achieve their end goal. <ref>Lucid; 2009</ref> Tinder has this to a certain extent, however the app lets you link up to Instagram which can be a good way of backing up what the users may say about themselves on the app. Though the different textual and intertextual communication online vs real life we can view that anonymity is a key enabler for individuals to deceive others. Deception is made easy because its difficult to link online dating users online identity to their real identity without obtaining personal information. The technical nature of computer mediated communication (CMC) creates a different situation in which we can express ourselves in, dissolving geographical boundaries and the affect of real time communication creating a platform by which users have time to to reply to messages (as an example) allows the user to overthink their messages and present their idea of a best possible reply. This nature of CMC specific to online dating allows the users to present the best picture of themselves, which is inconstant to real time conversations where there is less time to reply. On top of this, information online about our individuality is given textually compared to intertextual communications face to face communication is where there are an infinite amount of facial features and body language to communicate what a person is ‘saying’ without actually speaking. Individuals can also subjectively interpret the reactions they get online towards another user, which can shape an individuals behaviour and by extension their identity. This ‘intermediary platform’, of which Tinder and Dating Websites are on, can provide individuals with a sense of safety and anonymity compared to the vulnerability that many feel they face through face to face interaction. Some feel that the social expectations of them are more pronounced in the ‘real world’ which can suppress on individual thoughts or views. In this perspective, online dating may ‘free’ an individual more online more online rather than surpassing their actual thoughts. Communication intermediates influence have online identities are generated and presented under the influence of the ability in not having to disclose a lot of personal information, given that online environments do not have mechanisms to immediately authenticate its users. On the other hand however, anonymity provides its users with the ability to truly express themselves or even 'liberate' themselves where their true selves are revealed without prejudice and judgement. ==== Anonymity and Accountability ==== When the purpose of the account on social media is to keep in touch with friends and family members, like Facebook is, profile attributes are as close to the truth as possible since the individuals affiliates act as an authentication mechanism (ref B) This can be related to Tinder in that the way in which you make an account is through your Facebook account and you can see your 'common connections' with the person you are matching with. On top of this, since your Tinder searches people relatively close to you there is always the potential that you can see people that you know in the surrounding area, and those people cans see you. The constant threat of having someone you know see your Tinder profile destroys the idea of anonymity on this particular dating app, and therefore is more likely to be realistic in relation to the profiles on it due to this. While the presence of perceived anonymity has a tendency to combine with the received lack of accountability and attachment to the real world, this lets the user become their own authoritative figure in which they put online. ==== Warranting Theory ==== Adapted by Walther and Parks <ref>Walther and Parks; 2002</ref> from a study by Stone <ref>Stone; 1995</ref> it suggests that in the presence of anonymity, a person may misrepresent information about his or herself. It was an observed phenomenon where some people met in person after having met online and were dissatisfied with the partner. The potential for autonomy resulted in the potential for discrepancy in online dating profiles. 'Warrants' and describes by Walther and Parks were perceived reliable cues that observers use to cause how ones true identity matches their online profile. = Digital Culture = == Digital Divide == The term [[w:Digital divide| “digital divide”]], also called “digital gap”, refers to the demographical, social, economic and regional inequality regarding the access, distribution and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and its impacts. This is with regards to people who have, and those who do not have, the necessary skills, abilities or knowledge to use ICT. It exists between rural and urban areas, between economic classes, between socioeconomic factors such as race, income, and education, between people who can afford an internet access and those who cannot, between the quality of connection as well as the local adaption and availability (i.e. via wideband) <ref> Luxton, E. [https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/05/4-billion-people-still-don-t-have-internet-access-here-s-how-to-connect-them/ “4 billion people still don’t have internet access. Here’s how to connect them“]. In: The World Economic Forum 11.05.2016</ref> and on a global scale between industrial and developing countries. <ref >Sagasti, A [http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/sagasti-1-1.pdf “The Knowledge Explosion and the Knowledge Divide”]. 2001. p. 32</ref> [[File:Global Digital Divide1.png|thumb|left|alt=A map of the global digital divide.|Map of the Global Digital Divide.]] ===Dimensions of the Divide=== The digital divide shapes the global and local flow of information. Even if access to online information is available, a free information flow is often restricted or blocked through network censorship. At national level some governments constantly restrict the access to certain webpages and filter any expression that may threaten their national security. Often this is the case in some Middle Eastern countries and especially in China and North Korea. At organisational or family level, firewalls or access limiting software can be installed to prevent employees or children from accessing undesirable or harmful online contents. <ref>Segev, Elad. “Google and the Digital Divide” edited by Elad Segev. Elsevier Science. 2010.</ref> Elad Segev argues that there are more subtle reasons for the digital divide in the online community i.e. that it is a result of the [[w: Commercialization of the Internet |commercialisation of the internet]] and the operation of hugely dominant information agents and search engines such as Google. Furthermore, that the divide emerges as a result of information-skilled users tearing it wider apart.<ref>Segev, Elad. “Google and the Digital Divide” edited by Elad Segev. Elsevier Science. 2010. p.22-23.</ref> ===Knowledge Divide=== Knowledge has become a valuable resource in the Information Age, increasingly determining who has access to power and profit. Apart from the demographical, social, economic and regional gaps of the digital divide, knowledge continues to expand and has a growing impact of inequalities in science and technology capacities which create an impenetrable barrier for those, who wish to mobilise knowledge, and those who which to obtain it. The spread of information on a global scale through the internet and the uneven assimilation of global access to the internet expands gaps in knowledge between individuals and nations has been called the Knowledge Divide . <ref> Sagasti, A [http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/sagasti-1-1.pdf “The Knowledge Explosion and the Knowledge Divide”]. 2001.</ref> === Technological Determinism=== [[w:Technological Determinism|Technological determinism]] is the theory that the technology that people create and see themselves surround by determines the culture in which they find themselves. Therefore a dramatic change towards a societies technology should in turn result in a dramatic change in that societies culture. For example the emergence of phones changed the way people communicated, and in turn changed the way they acted and thus changed their culture. This theory is heavily discussed by Marshall McLuhan in his book McLuhan, Marshall. (1964) Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man <ref> McLuhan, Marshall. (1964) Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man.</ref> where he describes the theory in detail and furthermore applies it to the real world . He does this so well that other theorists have since taken and adapted his ideas towards Technological Determinism itself, for example Transforming McLuhan by Paul Grosswiler is one of the examples of the many books devoted purely to McLuhan's ideas over the theory.<ref> Grosswiler, P., 2010. Transforming McLuhan: Cultural, Critical, and Postmodern Perspectives. Peter Lang. </ref> == Cultural Determinism == [[w:Cultural determinism|Cultural determinism]] is he stance that common patterns of behavior, attitudes, and values which persist for generations are the result of cultural factors rather than biological or other factors<ref>Cultural determinism - Oxford Reference. (2017, January 15). Retrieved from http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095652815</ref>. This presents the argument of nurture vs. nature. In this case how one is reared determines who they are as a person. In order to understand cultural determinism, it is important to understand what culture is. Culture is defined as “the beliefs, way of life, art, and customs that are shared and accepted by people in a particular society.<ref>Culture in Sociology topic. (n.d.). Retrieved from http://www.ldoceonline.com/Sociology-topic/culture</ref>” The concept of cultural determinism emphasizes that your culture determines the type of person you are. This theory possesses some weak points. For instance, if one were to grow up in a neighborhood with crime and deviance, is it guaranteed that the person will participate in criminal activity and deviant behavior? In the digital age one looks to cultural determinism and how people easily interact with technology and how ingrained it is in our world. == Identity and Persona in relation to our online real life divide == Online and Offline our personalities can differ very much. Online, people generally tend to undertake a process known as portraying an ‘impersonation management’<ref>Jacobi, Jolande. Jacobi, S, Jolande., 1999. Psychology of C G, Jung. Reprint, Revised edn. Psychology Press. p. 33.</ref>. This is a term described in detail in ''Psychology of C G Jung'' by Jolande Jacobi (1999) that means we present ourselves in what we believe is the best light in each scenario. For example, on Instagram or Twitter (and other Social Media platforms alike) someone will normally try to only post up their most flattering photos that paint them in the best light (both figuratively and literally), in an attempt to manage the presentation of themselves. This concept can be argued further when using Erving Goffmans idea of 'masks'<ref>Erving Goffman in The Presentation of the Self In Everyday Life (1959). p. 31.</ref>, as discussed in his book [[w:The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life|''The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life'']] (1959) where Goffman argues that our personalities are fluid and thus change depended on the scenario we may find ourselves in. In terms of our Online/Real-life Divide this in turn means we are likely to change the way we behave on- and off-line; but also that we are also likely to change the way we behave on different online platforms themselves. For example one is very likely to present themselves in a different mask on Wiki*edia as opposed to Facebook, because the purpose of each environment differs greatly, and thus how one can present themselves in the best light also differs greatly. This results in a change of ones 'mask', or persona, as a result of the process of 'impersonation management'. This idea is illustrated well by Stephen Fry here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z0XS-QLDWM <ref>Fry, Stephen. 2015. Erving Goffman and the Performed Self. BBC Radio 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z0XS-QLDWM.</ref> == Psychosocial Approaches == Psychosocial study is a relatively new field which explores the ways in which psychological and social experiences are intertwined and interdependent. Psychosocial approaches are interdisciplinary, reflecting the belief that psychological and social experiences cannot be independent of each other but are rather part of one whole experience based on a sociological, historical and cultural context. As such, psychosocial approaches draw on existing fields of study including sociology, psychology, philosophy, post-colonial studies and post-structural theories. <ref>http://www.psychosocial-studies-association.org/ </ref> A psychosocial approach to the online/real-life divide would suggest that life can no longer be neatly compartmentalised into an online life and a real life, but that the prevalence of our interaction with digitisation affects our real life and vice versa. = The Effects of the Connected World = == Representation == ==== Introduction ==== The emergence of new technologies and social networks has created almost a new aspect of how we can have and form an identity, and how others play a part in the formation of this representation. The “user profile” that has become so popular on the almost all large social media platforms [including Wiki]. This “profile” function allows users to create an individual page centred around them, whether it be voicing their thoughts and research on a topic like on Wiki or whether it be creating a photograph wall of yourself and photos you have taken seen on Instagram. So the issue of representation seems undoubtedly complex and it is apparent that there is a lot more at play than people simply building up an online reflection of the self, allowing for a lot more fabrication. ==== The Proteus Effect- Nick Yee ==== Yee and Co’s <ref> Bailenson, J., Ducheneaut, N. Yee, N., (2009). The Proteus Effect Implications of Transformed Digital Self-Representation on Online and Offline Behaviour, Stanford University Department of Communication, Stanford, CA </ref>studies around the Proteus effect shines light on the notion of an online self by examining avatars in Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVEs) and studies people’s online behaviour when given an avatar with certain traits seen as more desirable on the platform. Yee notes that “Instead of focusing on the structural affordances of the computer-mediated environment, studies in TSI have shown how strategic changes in an avatar’s appearance or behaviour can affect how other users interact with that avatar”. From this we know that there is a strong relationship between an offline self and their online counterpart – being an avatar or a personal profile page – and this relationship dictates how exactly people proceed to present themselves online. It continues saying it seems that people want to see the best qualities and be most desirable version of themselves online [from their behavioural tenancies when their avatar is more “desirable”] this seems extremely telling on the issue of representation. It can thus be noted that people don’t want a full realistic version of them shown but there is a strong selection process in which people pick and choose factors they want other to see. This can be said to constitute a strong real life online divide as how people wish to be represented on any platform involving exhibiting a form of themselves is noticeably different to real life interactions where it can be argued to be a simple case of what you see is what you get. The study goes on to discuss Multiuser Domains (MUDs) and the findings here help to shine light on the key issue within this sub-topic, being misrepresentation. It states that on certain platforms there is an aspect of gender bending, so people are creating profile and personas yet gendering them differently than their own and acting in ways they possibly think is more suited to that gender role. The behaviours and character traits that are used are noted to not fit the individual’s own and so we see here that people use the divide from real life to misrepresent themselves and escape on identity into another, escapism being a whole other topic in itself. However this shows us that the divide that exists can offer opportunities to escape one notion of self that exists offline and in a positive way misrepresent a version of ourselves which can be noted as a clear effect of living in this connected world. Although these MUDs and CVEs differs from platforms in which user profiles are a more “direct” representation of you [featuring photos, your thoughts in posts, etc] this study can still be seen as useful to learn about this whole notion of an offline online representation as it quite concisely examines how we present ourselves behaviourally when there is a keyboard and screen to hide behind. == Narrative == The way we choose to tell the story of ourselves online is a complex way in which we can examine how we see our lives and the effects the connected world has had on us. I believe storytelling on social media platforms goes above simply writing long posts about what happened to you recently and is more interactive and importantly encouraged by these large platforms. When we travel somewhere Facebook encourages us to post this journey with geo-location, when we attend an event we are encouraged to tweet using a hashtag for the event and when we watch a television show we are now encouraged to watch along – giving every thought and opinion on some app or social platform. These alone do not tell much of a story but it is on these user profile timelines as seen on Twitter, Facebook and the Snapchat story that when viewed for their collective value begin to build up a narrative around the individual or organisation and so creates a more rounded identity. Aisling G M Kelliher (2007) <ref> Kelliher, A G M (2007) Everyday Storytelling: supporting the mediated expression of online personal testimony. Massachuesetts Institute of Technology, USA </ref> describes the online storytelling that has become prevalent in recent years as “transforming our fragmentary narratives into shareable narratives [which] helps us to understand and communicate who we are as individual and social beings”. This seems to eloquently summarise this idea of taking the offline experiences we have on a daily basis and turning this into content we can like, share and comment on. It can be argued both that this feature of creating narratives of our offline world on social media platforms in bridging the offline/online gap that exists or that it distances us further from reaching that point as the selection process of what we deem glamorous enough to share on social media can be seen to giving a false account of the “real” that we are striving to understand in this study. == Privacy and Security == === Introduction === As discussed earlier, in this day and age the technology needed to establish your identity and create your own image is not just available, but it is a necessary part of everyday life with the internet being an integral part of most work and social lives. Social media and dating websites are the two most widely used ways to share private information. Through messages and status updates etc. there is a lot of content shared (supposedly to a selective audience) that people don’t want to be public. This ranges from people hobbies and interests to nude photos and all other types of content: there is a lot of information out there which is shared with the intention of being private, only available to certain individuals. Unfortunately, the expectation that privacy is an option will often leave people disappointed. === Is Snapchat Secure? === Although privacy is intended by most social media and dating apps, they all tend to have their loopholes and issues that lead to what is meant to be private becoming public. Snapchat is arguably the riskiest social media platform to use in terms of privacy because of the false sense of security they very deliberately provide. This makes is a great example of the limits of to which private information is secure compared to what people believe. One of the key concepts of the app is that the content you share or send is deleted. They claim very openly that they do not store the data that you post, it is automatically deleted. This feature has dictated the way people use the app, posting content pretty much care free because it will disappear after ten seconds. But the assumption that the information will be gone forever is a decidedly wrong one. There are main reasons that Snapchat is not as secure as people believe. The first is the one that most are aware of. Even though the image sent is gone (and supposedly deleted forever) that does not stop the receiver from very easily screenshotting the image on their phone; even though Snapchat doesn’t necessarily store it, somebody else can. The saving grace of this loophole is that it is a well-known problem with maintaining privacy; by in large, everybody knows how to do it. On top of this, Snapchat do not deny that screenshotting is a thing. Since the knowledge is public it is not as harmful; people can send Snapchats based on their trust relative to who they are sending the image to. The second security threat to Snapchat is one that people are not aware of. It demonstrates the dishonesty which comes from social media platform and other apps concerning security and privacy of information. Snapchat clearly states that they do not store any data, it is deleted after it disappears from your phone screen. This is even a core marketable feature of the app. However, this has been proven to be untrue repeatedly. Data shared is not gone forever as promised. This is a little known, though publicly reported fact. The FBI has access to information shared on snapchat and has the right to request it to work on cases. What this means is that Snapchat does indeed store the data users share on its servers. === What Does The Lack Of Security Mean? === dangerous way in which this fact can be exposed is with hacks. Snapchat’s server has been hacked in the past and supposedly private and deleted content has been shared publicly online. The most famous instance of this was the occurrence of “The Snappening”, the name of which was a reply to “The Fappening”. These were both instances of thousands of naked photos of celebrities (which were obviously intended to be private) being hacked, stolen from the servers (which Snapchat claimed did not hold such data) and posted publicly online. This all means that Snapchat is an unsafe way to share information privately as people you know can use it in ways you don’t intend and strangers can acquire it without the user’s knowledge. Other social media platforms are very similar in how information that is meant to be private can lack the security people expect. In modern times the personal image of oneself can be created online and offline. It is now clear that doing so online through Social Media etc. offers at most the same amount of privacy as living in reality, where it is also difficult to guarantee security of information. == Production and Consumption == ==== Social Media Careers ==== For students studying a degree like Film and Media it can be very difficult to find work once the degree is done. The field of study is known partially for having few clear job prospects or career paths at the end. The vast number of students in that industry cannot all fit into internships or job placements; there are not enough to go around. Fortunately, there are many new opportunities arising which do not include any physical employment; rather they are done over the internet. There are job opportunities as well as entire careers which centre around social media and producing content entirely online. An example of this is working as a social media manager for a company or even a celebrity. Companies and celebrities use social media to control their image online, which is very important. Thus, there are many opportunities to post content on behalf of a corporation as a Social Media Manager. This is just one of the career paths that can be found online because of new technology. This demonstrates the extent to which online image is important and how one’s career can be defined by online work. ==== Creative Practices ==== The internet can be described as a marketplace- in the way that a market place is a structure where buys and sellers exchange goods, services and information. The internet can be used for all of these things, however the 'buyer' and 'seller' can exchange these things with their own information rather than legal tender such as money- creating User generated content. Users are just applying the concept of a marketplace to a more social atmosphere. This user generated content is what fills most of the internet and can come in many forms, for example Facebook as a media platform to communicate and share pictures of yourself and follow your interests, and Wikipedia as a way in which to contribute to an online forum and expand your own knowledge and those that engage with the page. The news has also moved online. The most popular social media apps are ones that circulate or produce news, such as Facebook where many trustworthy news sites post their articles as links online to enable them to be read more widely. = Artificial Intelligence = == Definition == Artificial Intelligence is defined in Russell & Norvig's seminal textbook [[w:Artificial Intelligence:A Modern Approach|Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach]] as a subject that "encompasses a huge variety of subfields, ranging from the general...to the specific."<ref>Russell, J. & Norvig, P. (eds). Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, Prentice Hall Inc, 1995. p. 1</ref> For the purposes of this book, Artificial Intelligence will be defined as a machine that can process and comprehend information, and respond to it, in a way that human beings associate with other human beings. This is a colloquial definition of the subject. For other definitions that encompass the 'general' and 'specific' that Russell & Norvig reference, their textbook covers all. ==Implications of Data Collection == Automated programs are already widely used for data collection ranging from large companies like Google<ref>http://royal.pingdom.com/2010/01/08/how-google-collects-data-about-you-and-the-internet/</ref> and Facebook, who even collect data from Internet users who are not signed-up users of its website,<ref>https://securehomes.esat.kuleuven.be/~gacar/fb_tracking/fb_plugins.pdf</ref> to government sponsored data collection<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jun/21/gchq-cables-secret-world-communications-nsa</ref> like the NSA-run surveillance program PRISM. [[File:PRISM logo.jpg|thumb|PRISM logo]] These programs store and search for data based on specific parameters set by the company, that then evolve based on what information is eventually seen to be useful or noteworthy. For companies, this tends to be whatever information can generate the most revenue. However, James Canton opines that there can be no [[w:Big data|'Big Data']] collection without the use of Artificial Intelligence. The sheer volume and processing of the information generated daily needs it. He says "In a world where there is big data everywhere, the extraction of meaning, the monetization of data for a purpose will be driven by AI."<ref>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-canton/from-big-data-to-artifici_b_10817892.html</ref> However, this is at odds with other theories of Artificial Intelligence development. In the film [[w:Ex Machina (film)|Ex Machina]] directed by [[w:Alex Garland|Alex Garland]] Artificial Intelligence is only created ''because of'' humanity's ability to collect huge amounts of data. In the film, it is theorised that Big Data is less a measure of what people think, but ''how'' they think. The scientific advisor for the film, Murray Shanahan, supported such a statement in interview. <ref>http://isciencemag.co.uk/features/interviewing-murray-shanahan-ex-machinas-scientific-advisor/</ref> When Data Collection has so many real-world consequences then the question of where the divide between online and real-life begins is raised. For the individual, data collection is unseen and silent. Its effects feel vague and slow to alter our lives, despite the fact they have altered them significantly already. When Artificial Intelligence is added into this mix it becomes a different argument entirely. If Artificial Intelligence is developed, will it be given the same rights as humans? If it is given the same human rights then is it considered a single entity? And if a single entity has the ability to collect huge volumes of data, what is stopping every single entity to collect data too? ==Chat Bots and the Future of Online Conversing== Chat Bots are defined as computer programs that attempt to simulate human conversation through spoken language or through written language. Their purpose is to engage in convincing conversation with the human user on the other end. The first notable chatbot was developed in 1966, and was called [[w:ELIZA|ELIZA]]. development of chatbots has continued until the present day. Originally, the Turing Test was first seen as a measure of a machines intelligence, and consequently of its Artificial Intelligence. Numerous chatbots can now pass the Turing Test, and under specific conditions, the test was passed in 2014<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27762088</ref> The implications of convincing chatbots are wide-ranging. The nature of communication has changed in the digital age so as to be unrecognisable to pre-digital times. Our smartphones can now automatically respond to received messages with a preassigned response. Additionally, predictive texting algorithms are heavily linked to the development of chatbots. Research was done on the effects of predictive text on spelling and grammar comprehension in children, and found negligible results.<ref>Waldron, S., Wood, C., & Kemp, N. (2016). Use of predictive text in text messaging over the course of a year and its relationship with spelling, orthographic processing and grammar. Journal of Research in Reading. doi:10.1111/1467-9817.12073</ref> However, there has been no research done into the effects that predictive text has on our choice of language. The question must be asked that if predictive text gives us suggestions of which words to use, can it influence our decisions? To what extent does the predictive text algorithm affect and choose our language for us? The 2013 film [[w:Her (film)|Her]] explores the concept of detached communication further. The character played by Scarlett Johansson is an evolved version of a chatbot, being a disembodied Artificial intelligence program. Communication with her is problematic because she does not have a body and this is explored in the film through her attempted use of an 'avatar' who is a real person. Additionally, the main character in Her works as a letter writer, composing love letters between couples and often writing both person's responses. These people are sending each other messages and communicating without choosing their own language, or being a part of that communication. Again, this strikes one as disembodied forms of communication and speaks to the significant difference between embodied and disembodied Artificial Intelligence. == A.I in Fiction == The best science fiction has always been seen to be a precursor and accurate prediction of changes that take place in the world. From dystopian in [[w:Nineteen Eighty-Four|''Nineteen Eighty-Four'']] to utopian in [[w:Looking Backward|''Looking Backward:2000-1887'']], sci-fi literature and film has always ended up blurring the line between what is real, and what is not real. Through it's very existence and predictive nature it ends up assertively comparing what is real, with what is not-yet-real. In his landmark book ''On The Internet'', the philosopher [[w:Hubert Dreyfus|Hubert Dreyfus]] states that "since robots can't be programmed to behave like people, people will have to learn to behave like robots."<ref>Dreyfus, H. (2001). On The internet. (2nd ed.). New York: Rutledge. pp. 101</ref> This is a typical pessimistic view of the development of Artificial Intelligence. However, this is not to say that it is wrong. An argument like this is inextricably linked to the Online/Real-Life Divide. === A.I's Creation to Serve Society === At it's essence artificial intelligence is created to serve it's master. This instant relationship between the creator having power over something that is trying at it's core to be as close to humans as possible. That fine line between creating a machine that functions and looks like a human but does not 'think' and 'feel' is the fine that most scifi fiction revolves around. Often the narrative puts the creations in a position of assistance, where humans rely on them in order to function, they are a new piece of technology designed for enhancing or making easier human existence. For example in the Channel 4, TV show <i>"Humans"</i> <ref>[[w:Humans (TV series)]]</ref>, the "Artificial Intelligence" in the show have human physical features, but their soul purpose is to service humans. From being a nanny and house maid for families to some of the bots being sold to have sex as prostitutes. As an audience, seeing a human face being forced (or not being giving a choice because of programming), to do something they don't want, especially sexual evokes strong conflicting emotions. Yes, the A.I is created for the purpose of serving society but giving it a human face and voice questions ideas of slavery and brings morals and ethics to mind. A.I creation is a form of technological slavery in an attempt to make human existence easier and usually in fiction it has dangerous repercussions for the creators. There is however a film that shows how A.I can be used in a positive way. The film <i>"Robot and Frank"</i> <ref>[[w:Robot & Frank]]</ref> portrays a wonderful story of a positive use of A.I technology in assisting an elderly man who lives alone, to live alone. The character of the robot does not have a human face, and perhaps this is the difference, the definitions between robot and human are defined clearly between physicality. However throughout the movie there is use of a human voice and suggested attempts at humour, it builds a level of companionship with Frank the other main character, the character is at it's element taken as a human relationship but the difference between the two is distinguished throughout due to the different physical appearances. These two different pieces of fiction really show the different directions of A.I in terms of fiction writing, focusing on the difference and importance of physical appearance and the boundaries that people expect for the future or A.I. There are a never ending list of sci-fi A.I featuring, movies but I think that these show that with a face the audience become to morally confused between the possibilities of human and machine but even without a face an audience gets emotionally attached to the character of the robot. === Where A.I controls society === The dystopian vision of a society controlled by Artificial Intelligence is born from the theory of [[w:Technological determinism|technological determinism]], a phrase that was first coined by the social scientist [[w:Thorstein Veblen|Thorstein Veblen]] to describe a society that causally changes because of developments in technology. This is opposed to [[w:Cultural determinism|cultural determinism]] which posits that culture is what causally alters developing technologies. This is often the mid/or end point of a scifi feature film, where the technology develops a mind of it's own and turns against the creator etc. a fantastic example of this is <i>"Eagle Eye"</i> <ref>[[w:EagleEye|Eagle Eye]]</ref>. The film essentially features a 'super computer' a common trope again within A.I, it has access to everything, the internet, personal records control over electrical equipment, it is a learning machine with all of the knowledge in the world. In order to save the planet, it's primary objective, it decides the only way to achieve this is to wipe out the entire race. So unfolds the fight between man and machine, creator and creation. In a fiction sense control is always in extremes where the A.I takes control of itself and uses it's power to destroy humanity. A common story line even in films such as [[w:Wall-e|Wall-e]] or [[w:Meet the Robinsons|Meet the Robinsons]], humanities fears of the machine rising against us. ===Black Mirror - Back to Before === This episode of Black Mirror is a fantastic look into the line between humanity and A.I creations, and how it can be blurred. Again it is another example of an A.I that uses a human face, but this time it is a specific person who is re-created using artificial intelligence, data trails left on social media, and private usage, the voice re-constructed from phone calls and personality aspects built on a combination of these things as well as from learning memories and experiences after its 'activation'. It is interesting as it combines many elements of A.I study, it looks at the idea that A.I is created for a particular purpose, in the sense that the main character purchases the A.I creation in order to be re-united with her dead husband, and it really pushes how far humans are willing to accept the use of A.I. This A.I takes information from the chosen persons internet use to compile a character, which is an interesting method that could definitely tie into the theories around the difference between the online self and real self. It is almost as if in this episode these identities are taken to extremes, an example of how the two differ. The main character is driven crazy by the 'half' version of her husband and so attempts to use the overriding power she has as the owner, the creator to order him to kill himself. She uses her status as a human creator to try and destroy her creation, the most interesting element is the fact that then, the <i>creation</i> uses it's knowledge and it's human face, a human face that she adores to portray human emotion, to portray fear in order to <b>"stay alive"</b>, a term used loosely. But the machine uses it's knowledge and appearance to further it's existence therefore outsmarting the human, not for malicious intent just to continue it's "life", which again pushes merges the lines between human and A.I. =References= <br> <br> <br> {{stub}} {{BookCat}} o31ns1b7ni0e2oun5qxur3t384fq8qi 4681551 4681549 2026-11-11T07:04:49Z ~2026-59479-08 3631061 /* Implications of Data Collection */ 4681551 wikitext text/x-wiki = Introduction = {{Drop|T}}he introduction of technology as we know it has brought about a new understanding of how we comprehend both ourselves and our interaction with others. This struggle with identity displays itself through the use of social media platforms and the choices made in regards to how one presents themselves to their "followers" or "friends" as well as the information they choose to share. Every social media account is a construction of identity that brands an individual and how they present themselves under a specific presentation. This display of the self through public and private personas can often lead to a blurring of the line between private life and public account, and as a result the individual's identity is altered through their online, marketed self, leading to questions of identity, self-presentation, authentic representation, and community pressures. As well as this, with modern technology the line between what constitutes 'the online' and consequently what constitutes real-life is ever changing and evolving as our understanding of the use of technology changes. This chapter will highlight the history behind today's technological wave and consider the various platforms through which identity is divided. It notes the pros and cons of anonymity online, singular and fragmented identities, theories associated with the digital divide, as well as covers the effects that this divide has on society and the self. = History and Application of Digital Media = == History of Digital Media Development == The conceptual work of digital media can be traced back to the scientist and engineer Vavennar Bush and his work “[[w:As We May Think|As We May Think]]”, published in [[w:The Atlantic|The Atlantic Monthly]] in 1945. In this essay and “Memex Revisited” (1967) Bush envisioned a device which allows us to compress and store knowledge, which memorizes everything, and builds as well as combines trails <ref>Bush, Vavennar (1967). “Memex Revisited”.

In Chun and Fisher (eds.) (2016) New Media, Old Media: a history and theory reader (2nd ed.). London: Routledge, p. 91</ref>, writes Bush about the notion of his Memex. Moreover, he assigns the computer to aid humans by storing and providing data, to engage with us and even to be our gaming opponent in chess. Bush predicted different technology invented after his publications such as personal computers, speed recognition, the World Wide Web and online encyclopaedias such as Wikipedia. The Memex would mimic a human’s mind and its associative process, hence it would be a [[../Technology as an Extension of Self|Technology as an Extension of Self]]. ===First Analog Computers=== In the early 19th century [[w: Charles Babbage|Charles Babbage]], an English mechanical engineer conceptualized the first Machine-readable codes and information.

December 15 issue. </ref> == The Evolution of Digital Culture == Jill Walker Rettburg, in her article "Written, Visual and Quantitative Self-Representations" <ref>http://jilltxt.net/books/Seeing-Ourselves-Through-Technology-full-book.pdf</ref> suggests that "there are three distinct modes of self-presentation in digital media: written, visual and quantitative." She goes on to suggest that each of these modes has a specific and different pre-digital history. Diaries, memoirs, books and autobiographies are the antecedents of today’s blog posts and written social media status updates; selfies, for example, have taken over from visual artists’ self-portraits. Quantitative modes - those which feature personal statistical data previously found in lists, graphs, and maps - have been replaced with spreadsheets and GPS activity trackers. Despite the variety of digital and pre-digital methods of self-presentation, Walker Rettburg emphasises the concept that "technology is a means to see part of ourselves," whichever form that might take. “The assumption is that we’re addicted to the technology. The technology doesn’t matter. It’s all about the people and information. Humans are both curious and social critters. We want to understand and interact. Technology introduces new possibilities for doing so, and that’s where the passion comes in. We’re passionate about technology because we’re passionate about people and information, and they go hand in hand.” <ref>Mandiberg, Michael. The Social Media Reader, edited by Michael Mandiberg, NYU Press, 2012.</ref> Following Mandiberg’s assumption and the notion of technology as [[b: Living in a Connected World/Technology as an Extension of Self| an extension of ourselves]] together with the rapid development of our digital media, it changed our culture, our everyday behaviour and our social engagement on every level possible. How the different mediums work and which effects the connected world has on ourselves, our identity, self-representation and our perception of each other is discussed in the sections below. == Media == === Social Media === {{quote|''Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth''|''Oscar Wilde''<ref>Lovink, Geert. "Networks Without a Cause: a Critique of Social Media". Polity Press, 2011.</ref>}} The concept of the social networking site (SNS) has become popular in the culture of the mid to late 2000s and as such is often linked with the creation of platforms such as [[w:Myspace|Myspace]] and [[w:Facebook|Facebook]], however its origins date back several years prior, to the late 1990s.<ref>Lovink, Geert. "Networks Without a Cause: a Critique of Social Media". Polity Press, 2011.</ref> The understood concept of a social media platform that introduced both a sense of community through friends as well as a sense of individualism through profiling was [[w:SixDegrees.com|Six Degrees]]. Six Degrees was a website marketed as a tool for connection with friends that launched in 1997 and lasted until 2001, when it was shut down.<ref>Boyd, Danah and Ellison, Nicole. (2007). "Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship." ''Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication'', 13: 210–23.</ref> The basic layout of the site consisted of a personal profile for each user, an ability to add friends and, after 1998, the ability to search through lists of friends. Six Degrees, although the first to combine the personal features with a community aspect, crashed in late 2000 due to what the founder believed as being "simply ahead of its time".<ref>Boyd, Danah and Ellison, Nicole. (2007). "Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship." ''Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication'', 13: 210–23.</ref> Following the creation and failure of Six Degrees, the launches of [[w:Friendster|Friendster]] and [[w:Match.com|Match.com]] began a competition involving online community growth. Both websites introduced an emphasis on the individual profile and gained popularity through their specialization in online dating. The issues in fidelity led to the decline of both websites, specifically Friendster as it gained the reputation for "Fakesters", those who created false profiles using the images of others in order to draw people in. Friendster's system experienced several difficulties as the website saw more traffic than expected and was one of the first social networking sites to see one million users.<ref>Boyd, Danah and Ellison, Nicole. (2007). "Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship." ''Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication'', 13: 210–23.</ref> The website often credited with the introduction and popularity of social media platforms is Myspace. This website launched in 2003 and, after the announcement that Friendster would begin asking a fee of its users, gained a large amount of attention from previous users of other SNS platforms. Myspace gained popularity for being a community that accepted the outcasts of other platforms, noteably indi-rock bands who had been previously removed from other social networking sites. While Myspace was not designed with the intent, their acceptance of these rock bands led them to gain a connection with music that brought them a new demographic of users - teenagers.<ref>Boyd, Danah and Ellison, Nicole. (2007). "Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship." ''Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication'', 13: 210–23.</ref> The Myspace battle for users began to decline as the website became associated with false personas and sexual predators. As the concerns of identity rose in 2005, in came a new platform that gained the attention of the population: Facebook. ==== Facebook ==== {{quote|''Facebook rival Myspace is about being someone fake on the internet...[it's] very healthy that the real people have won out over the fake people''|''Peter Thiel''<ref>Lovink, Geert.

The website encouraged community growth and offered a privacy option to all members that protected a portion of an individual's profile from outside attention. An aspect of individuality was created through profile creation as Facebook targeted not only basic biological facts about its users, but offered the ability to personalize one's profile to include likes and dislikes such as movies, shows, books, and music.<ref>Boyd, Danah and Ellison, Nicole. (2007). "Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship." ''Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication'', 13: 210–23.</ref> Facebook's defining trait came from its emphasis of the "true self", encouraging users to portray their personalities through their online posts with no disguising usernames or alternate identities that had been created on previous SNS platforms. Facebook, unlike its competitor Myspace, encouraged a single identity that synced with the legal information of an individual one was given at birth. This emphasis on the individual, true self came about as a response to the [[w:9/11|9/11]] attack that took place in New York on September 11, 2001.<ref>Lovink, Geert.

Facebook, although a social media platform for building community, has often been linked to personal archives and noted as a modernized version of scrapbooking.<ref>Good, Katie. (2012) "From Scrapbook to Facebook: a History of Personal Media Assemblage and Archives". ''New Media and Society'', 15:4, pg 557 - 573.</ref> Although the main purpose behind the website is a social aspect, it has been suggested that Facebook posts often have an archival aspect to them as they mark an event or moment of one's life that can later be reflected upon and celebrated. Both platforms also depict an image of one's life that has been carefully selected to portray a version of the self to others. With the development of Facebook, the SNS platform offered multiple variations to display one's individuality through the selection of "bumper stickers" that would decorate one's page with bands chosen by the individual. These "bumper stickers" often coincided with the "likes" and "fan pages" individuals prominently displayed on their profile. The combination emphasized select traits carefully chosen to portray a slightly augmented version of the self. ==== Instagram ==== Instagram launched in 2010 as a free photo-based application that offered individuals the opportunity to edit and share photographs taken from their mobile devices. <ref>Salomon, Danielle. (2013). "Moving on from Facebook: Using Instagram to connect with undergraduates and engage in teaching and learning". ''College and Research Library News''. 74:8. 408 - 412.</ref> The mobile app offers a live connection with followers as photographs can be taken and instantly uploaded with the option of editing through a filter before posting. This instant picture upload is then able to be liked and commented on by followers, similar to Facebook but with a higher emphasis on the visual aspect of one's life as well as quick and easy access.<ref>"FAQ." FAQ • Instagram. N.p., 2017. Web. 01 Mar. 2017</ref> The company was bought out by Facebook in 2012 and as such now offers a link to Facebook profiles when joining the Instagram community. Instagram posts are therefore able to be posted directly to Facebook, connecting the communities of both applications and steadying the single identity enforced by Facebook accounts. Instagram offers a similar "scrapbook" layout in marking moments of one's life through pictures displayed for followers or personal satisfaction. All pictures have the option of being geo-tagged, marking the location the image was taken as a way of noting the event that took place. Instagram offers an altered reality through the filter option available to all photos before being published. Individuals are able to not only select what pictures they wish to post, but they are able to alter them to depict a mood or change the quality of the picture. In relation, personal pictures (aka "selfies") of the user are occasionally posted with the comment "#nofilter" to display the beauty of the object in the posted image and emphasize the lack of editing done. This displays how society has grown to associate pictures with editing as the natural assumption has become alteration and clarification is now only needed for unedited material.<ref>Hochman, Nadav. (2013) "Zooming into an Instagram City: Reading the local through social media". ''First Monday''. 18:7.</ref> ==== Snapchat ==== Snapchat, launched in 2011, is a visual-based application that originally allowed users to send pictures and videos that "disappeared" in seconds. The origin of this app was to emphasize the true self in the moment and allow life to be shared with friends.<ref>"Snap Inc." Snap Inc. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Mar. 2017.</ref> Through the development of the app, pictures are now able to be saved to one's "memory" as well as posted on one's "story" that is visible to all snapchat contacts. Development has also introduced photographic and video filters that offer a voice alteration and the option of sharing pictures for up to ten seconds at a time. Snapchat now offers an option to follow the stories of news, celebrities, and current events, alongside its original concept of a friend-based platform.<ref>"Snap Inc." Snap Inc. N.p., n.d. Web. 02 Mar. 2017.</ref> Snapchat's focus on the instant appeals to a youthful demographic as it offers the ability to maintain relationships over long distances through pictures and videos that share a moment over distance and time. Snapchat also offers an escape from the concerns of identity management that other forms of social media contain.<ref>Velten, Justin & Arif, Rauf. (2016). "The Influence of Snapchat on Interpersonal Relationship Development and Human Connection". ''The Journal of Social Media in Society''. 5:2.</ref> Snapchat is similar to face-to-face interaction in its lack of permanence. Similar to a conversation, messages and images disappear and, aside from a brief moment of presentation, the message will likely be forgotten. With written forms of communication through social media one offers up a message that is meant to permanently be on display and will therefore present a part of their identity through their comment or reaction. Snapchat's creation appeared during a time of high anxiety regarding pictures and data of oneself on the internet. The ability to quickly send and receive pictures that "disappeared" offered an answer to the concerns of the public.<ref>Velten, Justin & Arif, Rauf. (2016). "The Influence of Snapchat on Interpersonal Relationship Development and Human Connection". ''The Journal of Social Media in Society''. 5:2.</ref> This answer provided people a safe location to send quick shots of their lives without the fear that it would be held against them for a longer period of time. === Gaming and Virtual Reality === This "escape from reality" that virtual reality in gaming has had such a large impact on society. It can effect how people feel about themselves, with research showing that a taller avatars can make a player feel more confident out with play as well as a smaller avatar doing the opposite. <ref>Lanier, Jaron. (2011) "You Are Not A Gadget: A Manifesto"</ref> As entire culture though, the Japanese culture has seen an actual affect on their country, in a vice documentary <ref>https://www.youtube.com/embed/qpZbu7J7UL4 </ref> "The Japanese Love Industry", the lead of the video explores and discusses the severe decrease in population due to things as the gaming culture with government surveys showing that "more than 60% of men aged 18-34" are single, talking how it is because of the generation's obsession with virtual reality and gaming. Saying they "prefer cyber girlfriends over real girlfriends". This kind of behaviour, combined with a lack of interest from the female side has had a direct effect on Japanese culture. It is an example of a society that would rather live inside, or through their screens rather than engage in the world around them. ==== Avatar Creation ==== Online gaming communities present an escape from the real world into a simulated and controlled environment. With the introduction of gaming avatars, researchers began to look into the blurred line between real and fantasized environments and personas in regards to the link to identity creation and presentation. A lead researcher in the area of multi-user domains (MUD's) is [[W:Sherry Turkle|Sherry Turkle]] whose research in 1995 considered the self as "not singular and unitary, but multiple and fragmented".<ref>Leahy, Matthew Michael & Schultze, Ulrike. "The Avatar-Self Relationship: Enacting Presence in Second Life". ''Association for Information Systems''. 2009. 2 - 15.</ref> This discovery of a fragmented self led to the conclusion that MUD's were a source through which one could display multiple personae and highlight the various aspects of oneself. The ability to create an avatar to exact details provided users an opportunity to create what they envision as their "true self" by displaying the characteristics that they often chose to hide. Avatars "give expressive freedom over an otherwise anonymous and static online presence"<ref>Joinson, Adam N. & Vasalou, Asimina. (2009). "Me, Myself, and I: The Role of Interactional Context on Self-Presentation Through Avatars". ''ScienceDirect''. 25:2</ref> and provide a unique sense of self to the individual playing the game. Avatar appearance has been linked to self-perception for the owners of these games and characters. It has been found that those who choose more attractive and taller avatars are often linked to more confident actions and far more likely to approach others of the opposite gender.<ref>Joinson, Adam N. & Vasalou, Asimina. (2009). "Me, Myself, and I: The Role of Interactional Context on Self-Presentation Through Avatars". ''ScienceDirect''. 25:2</ref> The use of physically ideal avatars leads to an alteration and experimentation in identity which "is often understood through acts that dislocate embodied identity from the self online and how such a dislocation enables one to enact multiple, contradictory identities"<ref>Murphy, Sheila. (2004). "Live in Your World, Play in Ours: The Spaces of Video Game Identity". ''Journal of Visual Culture''. 3:2.</ref> Turkle's research has been highly contested as others have argued for the extension of the singular self through an idealised visual version in avatar creation.<ref>Leahy, Matthew Michael & Schultze, Ulrike. "The Avatar-Self Relationship: Enacting Presence in Second Life". ''Association for Information Systems''. 2009. 2 - 15.</ref> Turkle's argument offers the avatar as an alternate self through which one can express characteristic through physical features in a fantastical manner (such as skin colour, size, shape, human, animal, alien, etc), however her approach has been commented as being an "over-fragmented depiction of the avatar-self relationship"<ref>Leahy, Matthew Michael & Schultze, Ulrike. "The Avatar-Self Relationship: Enacting Presence in Second Life". ''Association for Information Systems''. 2009. 2 - 15.</ref> and researchers have suggested that gamers often have one or two avatars whose physical creation is meant to represent the idealised version of themselves and in turn provides users with confidence when interacting online. The avatar, although based on the self, acts as a tool to create distance between the user and those they associate with in online gaming communities. It should be noted that the connection of the self with one's avatar is often a link that is manifested in the real world through an aspect known as [[w:cosplay|cosplay]]. Cosplay allows individuals to dress like characters from games, movies, comics, and other fantasy universes in an attempt to connect with the character and other like-minded individuals in similar communities. Cosplay is common at conventions and can be viewed as the real-life complement to avatars. While online avatars hide one's true identity and allow for the emphasis of certain aspects of one's personality, the same can be said for cosplay within a physical world environment. ==== Second Life ==== [[File:Human female avatar, Second Life.png|thumb|Human female avatar, Second Life]] [[w:Second Life|Second Life]] is a virtual reality game created in 2003 that offered a world in which there was no goal to be achieved, merely a reality for the player to self-create. Players in Second Life are represented through avatars that are created upon registration of the game. These avatars, known in the game as residents, are capable of being whatever form the user chooses (human, animal, abstract figure) and can appear as the user's physical appearance or another figure entirely.<ref>"Second Life Avatars and their Real Life". Web Urbanist. Retrieved June 18, 2007.</ref> Avatars act as the player's extension providing a self that is aware and controlled by the member. These avatars are capable of interaction with each other, places, and objects; similar to real life experience. Second Life offers an extension of reality through the ability to explore the world, meet others, join groups and communities, set up shops, and buy and sell virtual property. Second Life provides the user an opportunity to live their life in a different manner, beginning with the creation of their "other self" or avatar. The naming of your other self creates a distance through the anonymity of a username capable of being whatever the user imagines.<ref>Boon, Stuart & Sinclair, Christine. (2009). "A World I Don't Inhabit: Disquiet and Identity in Second Life and Facebook". ''Education Media International''. 46:2</ref> The next step is the visual creation of the avatar through which "users can attempt to replicate their real world bodies digitally, or they can create extravagant, idealised bodies, or go further still and inhabit animal or robot bodies"<ref>Boon, Stuart & Sinclair, Christine.

The draw of virtual realities such as Second Life is the opportunity to experience things you otherwise would never achieve. Second Life offers flight, teleportation, travel, and adventure in a safe space where one can never truly be harmed. Living vicariously through the avatar presents gamers a chance to experience a different life in which they are not judged based on their physical appearance, but rather through their avatar's interactions within the Second Life community. Second Life provides an escape from reality, just as social media platforms used to prior to the invention of Facebook when one operated solely under a username, often with little association to one's true self. Second Life separates itself as a platform through the participation involved in the game's creation. Almost every element depicted on the game (architectural, natural, etc) was created by a Second Life user, making the world completely user-dependent.<ref>Bardzell, Shaowen & Odom, William. (2008).

Living through a virtual avatar, people can purchase items of clothing, possessions, subscriptions to different television programmes, etc. Literally carry out something meaningless to create virtual money to spend on a virtual existence. In the show there is one character who is heavily involved and invested into this process of buying and creating a better avatar. The avatar can travel and explore different experiences, interact and be part of something different but their real life selves are actually stuck within a small four walled room and on a bigger trapped being a slave to the system. This character and lifestyle, is a scary, yet realistic view of where our society could go if the obsession and dedication that people have for their avatars on games. This obsession lends itself to the extension of self, and also living through online brings us nicely on to the idea of virtual reality, and how some prefer the online life than reality and the damages this can cause. ==== Playtest ==== This episode of <i>Black Mirror</i> <ref>[[w:BlackMirror|Black Mirror]]</ref> is another fantastic episode that takes modern day culture discussed here, the ideas of Virtual Reality in combination with gaming. The push in current culture is to create more and more realistic games. From the mundanity of <i>"Sims"</i> <ref>[[w:TheSims|The Sims]]</ref> where gamers can create debatably realistic characters and do everyday mundane things, <i>(therefore real in their actions)</i> to one of the newest installments of <i>"Call of Duty: Advanced Warefare"</i><ref>[[w:CallofDuty:AdvancedWarfare|Call of Duty: Advanced Warefare]]</ref>, which features an almost identical reconstruction of the actor Kevin Spacey <ref>[[w:KevinSpacey|Kevin Spacey]]</ref>. This constant and current push for the most realistic gaming experience links very well to the upcoming market of Virtual Reality, <i>(real in it's visual experience)</i> and that growing industry is what is featured in this episode of <i>"Black Mirror"</i>. The main character signs up to try out a new gaming experience, in the final most extreme stage of testing he enters a <b>horror</b> genre of game. Where the game uses his own memories and mind to create personally scary situations. This incredibly realistic scenario is enjoyable until the game turns on the main character and experiences his darker, deeper fears and spirals out of control. This escalation really explores the dangerous path this realistic gaming experience society is venturing down. Like most <i>Black Mirror</i> episodes it takes a current piece of culture that is damaging or has a strong possibility to be damaging and pushes it to the extremes to show a scarily realistic digital future. == Chat Rooms == === Chat Rooms === ==== Cyber-bullying ==== Cyber-bullying is defined as harassment or abuse using electronic mediums of communication. It can involve all the typical forms of bullying except physical harm. It should be noted however, that encouragement to inflict self-harm is common within the context of cyberbullying. The effects of cyberbullying are not just visible online. Their real-world effects can be sever and according to the [http://cyberbullying.org/facts| Cyberbullying Research Center] self-harm, substance abuse, school problems and delinquency are related to instances of cyberbullying. In a meta-analysis on the subject, Kowalski et al. noted that among victims of cyberbullying, stress and suicidal ideation (the thought and intention of committing suicide) were the most common effects of cyberbullying.<ref>Kowalski, Robin et al. "Bullying In The Digital Age: A Critical Review And Meta-Analysis Of Cyberbullying Research Among Youth". Psychological Bulletin 140.4 (2014): n. pag. Web. 7 Mar. 2017.</ref> Real-life influence of cyber-bullying then, is incontrovertible. In the age of social media and always-on culture, the online world is at the forefront of so many adolescent minds that real-life effects will naturally happen. Emotional investment in one's online presence, and the varying ideals of self-presentation that different social media platforms dictate in our culture mean that the effects of hurtful language and actions online feels the same as in the real-world. In the 2015 film [[w:Cyberbully (2015 film)|Cyberbully]] the main character is coerced using threats of the release of private photographs, files, and evidence of her own cyberbullying tendencies. Such is the prevalence of online abuse that it now forms a narrative in media that engages with it and shows through different lenses, the effects of it. Similarly in the 2010 film [[w:Chatroom (film)|Chatroom]] characters engage with each other and through herd mentality encourage each other to cyberbully. The nature of cyberbullying lends itself to a detachment by its perpetrators from the consequences of such behaviour. Because of a currently-still-perceived divide between real-life and the online, a measure of detachment and inability or refusal to think about potential effects of online behaviour exists<ref>http://users.rider.edu/~suler/psycyber/disinhibit.html</ref> === Public and Private Forums === ====Public Forums ==== A Public Forum can be defined as a space, both physical and non-physical, where a group can gather and freely discuss their views on any topic. Within reason. As long as they abide by the guide lines set by the First Amendment – free speech<ref>Staff, L. (2010, February 05). First Amendment. Retrieved from https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/first_amendment</ref>. By traditional standards a sidewalk, a park, and a street can all be defined as Public Forums. They are considered as spaces open to public discourse, and can also be referred to as ‘open forums’. As to can all Public Forums. [[w: Forum (legal)|Forum (legal)]] The term ‘Open Forum’ harkens back to Ancient Rome where the Forum was at the centre of every Civitas – settlement. The Forum in these settlements would have been the beating heart and were most often used for markets. However most major events, speeches, and discussions would also take place within them.[[w:Forum (Roman)|Forum (Roman)]] As human civilization has evolved so has our means to share information. Now the most common forms of the Public Forum used are non-physical online platforms. Arguably the most popular platform, boasting over 1.8 billion active monthly users, is Facebook<ref>https://www.statista.com/statistics/264810/number-of-monthly-active-facebook-users-worldwide/</ref>; Tumblr is also an exceedingly popular platform, and provides its users far greater freedom of expression than Facebook. Reddit is another big platform that has been described as the front page of the internet [[w: Reddit]] ; where its registered users can submit content, such as text posts or direct links. It is upon these three platforms that this piece shall focus on as full the number of online Public Platforms is too great to discuss them all. The three social platforms already mentioned (Facebook, tumblr, and Reddit) work in a similar manner. In the case of both Facebook and tumblr you follow/befriend those you wish to and then you are able to open, or join, a discussion with them and their peers. Reddit provides numerous forums that cover an immeasurable number of topics; ranging from basic tech support, to cooking recipes. They are all Public Forums as most of the information and discourse is readily available to any user. Tumblr [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumblr]] is a blogging website where users create their own urls and build their own blogs. The users have the freedom to choose whether they upload their own content or to “reblog” content posted by another user that they follow. Because of this users of tumblr have a great deal of freedom to express themselves, and an expansive platform for discussion. Facebook [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook]] is one of the most widely used social media platforms in the world and therefor acts as one of the largest Public Forums there is. Though users can only see the content shared, posted and liked by their ‘friends’ they can communicate with all users via pages, groups and events. As such it is a platform that is frequently used to organise political marches, and to its page/group system enable likeminded individuals to easily meet; and to share ideas. Reddit [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit]] is described as an American social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website. As mentioned its forums cover a massive amount of information and has a discussion open for anyone that wishes to join. ==== Private Forums ==== By nature Private Forums are very similar to Public Forums, however where they differ is in the control of discussion content. Whereas Public Forums function along the lines of free speech, each Private Forum is controlled by its administrators. The nature of both forums is the sharing and discourse of information, but as mentioned, Private Forums are controlled by individuals rather than laws. Private Forums will generally require potential users to be invited by an existing member of the community, and will sometimes require membership fees be paid. The Forums will be created with a particular topic in mind, and membership – it can be assumed – is requested due out of a desire to actively participate and benefit the discussion. The Private Forum will be owned by its administrator(s) as it enables them to control privacy settings, along with content. ==== Deep Web ==== When discussing the differences between Public and Private Forums an interesting topic is the Deep Net, or Deep Web, which exists as a grey zone between the two. The Dark Net is quite literally the murky depths of the internet and is referred to as the ‘deep web’ because of how much is hidden within it. Though its contents are open to anyone that wishes to search them, and it does provide the user with unparalleled levels of freedom, one does first require a deep web browser to access it<ref>The Ultimate Guide To The Deep Web. Retrieved from http://www.sickchirpse.com/deep-web-guide/</ref>. The browser takes the first steps away from the concept of a Public Forum as it makes you anonymous, allowing you to search in safety – allegedly users cannot be guaranteed their safety according to a recent Wikileaks publication <ref>MacAskill, E., Thielman, S., & Oltermann, P. (2017, March 07). WikiLeaks publishes 'biggest ever leak of secret CIA documents'. Retrieved from https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/mar/07/wikileaks-publishes-biggest-ever-leak-of-secret-cia-documents-hacking-surveillance</ref>. From the users’ new position of anonymity they then possess the freedom to explore. Content on the Deep Web ranges from sites that provide any illegal substance you can think of; to weapons; and the deeper you go the darker it gets with a massive availability of illegal pornography.The Guardian reported that is thought only 0.03%<ref>Beckett, A. (2009, November 25). The dark side of the internet. Retrieved from https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2009/nov/26/dark-side-internet-freenet</ref> of the web’s content comes up in regular searches, and the rest lies in the dark web’s depths. It is in this anonymity and the way each site is controlled by it administrator(s) that it resembles more a Private Forum. However as it is so huge it cannot simply be referred to as one or the other. === Online Dating === ==== History ==== Like many aspects of the digital world, Online Dating has its roots in different mediums of the past<ref>Infographic: A History of Love & Technology.

The documentary highlights a story about how seafood suppliers faced problems with shipping cod. They meat supposedly would mushy because the fish had been sluggish. The suppliers decided to put a catfish into the tank, a natural predator, to keep them active. The correlation between the fish story and the online is, "the catfish in real life are supposed to keep you on your toes, keep you guessing, keep you thinking, they keep you fresh." <ref>Palmer, R.

The act happens mostly on social media platforms and on dating sites. Catfish normally reach out and initiate conversation, establish a some form of relationship, but will do anything to maintain their fake identity. <ref>https://socialcatfish.com/what-is-catfishing-online-dating/</ref> ====Psychological Breakdown of Catfishing==== The psychological impact of catfishing is extremely complex. It is not just about why people catfish, but also how does it impact the victim. People catfish for several different reasons. Every person is different and catfishing may fulfill different needs. Some reasons are, loneliness, revenge, greed, and people just seeking a thrill. <ref>Palmer, Roxanne. "Where Does 'Catfish' Come From? Online Hoax Movie Inspired By Fisherman's Lore." N.p., 17 Jan. 2013. Web.</ref> People who are lonely may take on fake personas because they have no one. They may feel isolated from their communities and do not see a different outlet for developing relationships. Someone who feels they are inadequate may pretend to be a fitness model, or maybe someone is struggling with their sexuality or gender may turn to catfishing as a way to cope. <ref>Campbell, Kelly, Dr. "Catfish and Secrets." Psychology Today. Sussex Publishers, 24 June 2013. Web. <https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/more-chemistry/201306/catfish-and-secrets>.</ref> Revenge is also a common. It is an unfortunate reality, but people will seek revenge on their significant others, relatives, or exs. Greed is incredibly damaging. People who use this to motivate their catfishing go in with the intention of being harmful. Sensation Seekers are often not malicious, but they get a thrill from taking on a new personality. These people use it to feel a certain emotion or sensation.<ref>"Catfishing – What Is It, Where It Came from and the Psychology Behind Catfish Online Dating Scams." N.p., 02 Aug. 2016. Web.</ref> It is often believed that people who catfish do not have the intention of hurting others for the most part, of course there are exceptions. Secrecy is often found in most long-term relationships. It is not necessarily a bad thing. Catfish relationships, are not dissimilar from face to face relationships. People develop an intimacy and feelings for one another. The problem is, the secrecy is what the catfish needs. In these relationships the relationship flourishes with the secret intact. When the secret is revealed it the relationship dies. The trust that may have been established is gone.<ref>Campbell, K., Dr. (2013, June 24). Catfish and Secrets.

On Tinder you swipe right to 'match' with someone- where they have swiped right on you and you both now have the option to talk to each other. The people you see on Tinder are sorted by how far away they are, meaning that Tinder lets the people in your area or neighbouring cities see you depending on how far away you are Online Dating websites however are different in that the websites can range from different themes that are specific to the individuals likes or views. For example by religion like [https://www.christianmingle.com Christian Mingle] or by hobby such as [https://www.equestriancupid.com Equestrian Cupid]. ==== Realism and Deception ==== Online deception across the internet is defined as a users modification of his / hers self description between real life and the dating profiles they have created (Toma et al 2008) Several different factors affected the realism of their profiles and lead to deception online. These include factors of gender and the individuals personality under the presence of anonymity. Evolutionary psychologists have looked into the deception of realism between males and females, the modification of traits in online dating can mainly be explained through socially desirable responding. Enhancing the individuals “reproductive viability” <ref>Evan's and Brase, 2007</ref> Meaning that each gender placed focus on certain elements. It was found that men were more prone to exaggerating their economic stability and physical strength, woman were more likely to emphasise upon their physical attraction. These discontinuities in reality had been pinned down to the social constructions and expectations of each gender Each genders main misrepresentations also followed a pattern; where women are more prone to being discreet about their weight while men are more prone to misrepresent their age and personal interests. Deception over the internet is a phenomenon caused by a lacking process to verify information five by misleading profiles, that negatively affects the reputation of online dating websites, adding an element of mistrust through enabling misleading profiles the ability to pop up. <ref>Ellison, Heino, and Gibbs; 2006</ref> <ref>Sztompka 1999</ref> Sztompka backs this up, continuing to link an individuals intent to claim falscitalities as a result of a “lack of method for verification” <ref>Sztompka 1999</ref> which is especially vital when information given about an individual is communicated textually. This deception can easily lead to frustration and mistrust that could potentially lead to an individuals emotional and psychological damage. A study by Mills <ref>Mills 2007</ref> states that individual identity is broken down into 3 elements; physical appearance, attributed data and biographical data (ie education) Age, gender and appearance were the most commonly mislead factors within this. <ref>Steiger et al; 2007</ref> ==== Anonymity Diminishing Accountability ==== In short, individuals online who intend to deceive other do so through creating an online indignity different to the one in real life. However, it can be those who don't intend to deceive that are allured by the possibilities of personal gain that a lack of accountability through anonymity gives. This can be evidenced through Toma et al's study that 80% of online daters felt that people misrepresent their physical appearance in their online dating profiles.<ref>Toma et all ; 2008</ref> To extend physical boundaries, the individual user tended to expand on their self presentation. This correlates with the anonymous nature of the internet . A study by Suler concluded that internet induced anonymity is a key influencer on the difference between the real world and online world, assuring that this was also a key factor in causing the online disinhibition effect where there was a clear disassociation between online and offline identities. <ref>Suler; 2004</ref> ==== Realism, Anonymity and Technology ==== The free-form ‘descriptive’ set up of online dating websites and apps where users can create themselves in a more favourable light, even when what they have been writing is exaggerated or emphasised. When a certain image of an individual is then altered elements of their personality and herby identity are fictitious. The ability to edit your profile also encouraged other users to modify and shape their information. Reasoning behind this may be down to appeal to certain individuals (changing their values to align to someone on the website ) and change aspects that received negative feedback. Overall, the motives behind online daters point to the goal of wanting to be seen as more “attractive” and “likeable” in order to achieve their end goal. <ref>Lucid; 2009</ref> Tinder has this to a certain extent, however the app lets you link up to Instagram which can be a good way of backing up what the users may say about themselves on the app. Though the different textual and intertextual communication online vs real life we can view that anonymity is a key enabler for individuals to deceive others. Deception is made easy because its difficult to link online dating users online identity to their real identity without obtaining personal information. The technical nature of computer mediated communication (CMC) creates a different situation in which we can express ourselves in, dissolving geographical boundaries and the affect of real time communication creating a platform by which users have time to to reply to messages (as an example) allows the user to overthink their messages and present their idea of a best possible reply. This nature of CMC specific to online dating allows the users to present the best picture of themselves, which is inconstant to real time conversations where there is less time to reply. On top of this, information online about our individuality is given textually compared to intertextual communications face to face communication is where there are an infinite amount of facial features and body language to communicate what a person is ‘saying’ without actually speaking. Individuals can also subjectively interpret the reactions they get online towards another user, which can shape an individuals behaviour and by extension their identity. This ‘intermediary platform’, of which Tinder and Dating Websites are on, can provide individuals with a sense of safety and anonymity compared to the vulnerability that many feel they face through face to face interaction. Some feel that the social expectations of them are more pronounced in the ‘real world’ which can suppress on individual thoughts or views. In this perspective, online dating may ‘free’ an individual more online more online rather than surpassing their actual thoughts. Communication intermediates influence have online identities are generated and presented under the influence of the ability in not having to disclose a lot of personal information, given that online environments do not have mechanisms to immediately authenticate its users. On the other hand however, anonymity provides its users with the ability to truly express themselves or even 'liberate' themselves where their true selves are revealed without prejudice and judgement. ==== Anonymity and Accountability ==== When the purpose of the account on social media is to keep in touch with friends and family members, like Facebook is, profile attributes are as close to the truth as possible since the individuals affiliates act as an authentication mechanism (ref B) This can be related to Tinder in that the way in which you make an account is through your Facebook account and you can see your 'common connections' with the person you are matching with. On top of this, since your Tinder searches people relatively close to you there is always the potential that you can see people that you know in the surrounding area, and those people cans see you. The constant threat of having someone you know see your Tinder profile destroys the idea of anonymity on this particular dating app, and therefore is more likely to be realistic in relation to the profiles on it due to this. While the presence of perceived anonymity has a tendency to combine with the received lack of accountability and attachment to the real world, this lets the user become their own authoritative figure in which they put online. ==== Warranting Theory ==== Adapted by Walther and Parks <ref>Walther and Parks; 2002</ref> from a study by Stone <ref>Stone; 1995</ref> it suggests that in the presence of anonymity, a person may misrepresent information about his or herself. It was an observed phenomenon where some people met in person after having met online and were dissatisfied with the partner. The potential for autonomy resulted in the potential for discrepancy in online dating profiles. 'Warrants' and describes by Walther and Parks were perceived reliable cues that observers use to cause how ones true identity matches their online profile. = Digital Culture = == Digital Divide == The term [[w:Digital divide| “digital divide”]], also called “digital gap”, refers to the demographical, social, economic and regional inequality regarding the access, distribution and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and its impacts. This is with regards to people who have, and those who do not have, the necessary skills, abilities or knowledge to use ICT. It exists between rural and urban areas, between economic classes, between socioeconomic factors such as race, income, and education, between people who can afford an internet access and those who cannot, between the quality of connection as well as the local adaption and availability (i.e. via wideband) <ref> Luxton, E.

Even if access to online information is available, a free information flow is often restricted or blocked through network censorship. At national level some governments constantly restrict the access to certain webpages and filter any expression that may threaten their national security. Often this is the case in some Middle Eastern countries and especially in China and North Korea. At organisational or family level, firewalls or access limiting software can be installed to prevent employees or children from accessing undesirable or harmful online contents. <ref>Segev, Elad. “Google and the Digital Divide” edited by Elad Segev. Elsevier Science. 2010.</ref> Elad Segev argues that there are more subtle reasons for the digital divide in the online community i.e. that it is a result of the [[w: Commercialization of the Internet |commercialisation of the internet]] and the operation of hugely dominant information agents and search engines such as Google. Furthermore, that the divide emerges as a result of information-skilled users tearing it wider apart.<ref>Segev, Elad. “Google and the Digital Divide” edited by Elad Segev. Elsevier Science. 2010. p.22-23.</ref> ===Knowledge Divide=== Knowledge has become a valuable resource in the Information Age, increasingly determining who has access to power and profit. Apart from the demographical, social, economic and regional gaps of the digital divide, knowledge continues to expand and has a growing impact of inequalities in science and technology capacities which create an impenetrable barrier for those, who wish to mobilise knowledge, and those who which to obtain it. The spread of information on a global scale through the internet and the uneven assimilation of global access to the internet expands gaps in knowledge between individuals and nations has been called the Knowledge Divide . <ref> Sagasti, A [http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/sagasti-1-1.pdf “The Knowledge Explosion and the Knowledge Divide”]. 2001.</ref> === Technological Determinism=== [[w:Technological Determinism|Technological determinism]] is the theory that the technology that people create and see themselves surround by determines the culture in which they find themselves. Therefore a dramatic change towards a societies technology should in turn result in a dramatic change in that societies culture. For example the emergence of phones changed the way people communicated, and in turn changed the way they acted and thus changed their culture. This theory is heavily discussed by Marshall McLuhan in his book McLuhan, Marshall. (1964) Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man <ref> McLuhan, Marshall. (1964) Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man.</ref> where he describes the theory in detail and furthermore applies it to the real world . He does this so well that other theorists have since taken and adapted his ideas towards Technological Determinism itself, for example Transforming McLuhan by Paul Grosswiler is one of the examples of the many books devoted purely to McLuhan's ideas over the theory.<ref> Grosswiler, P., 2010. Transforming McLuhan: Cultural, Critical, and Postmodern Perspectives. Peter Lang. </ref> == Cultural Determinism == [[w:Cultural determinism|Cultural determinism]] is he stance that common patterns of behavior, attitudes, and values which persist for generations are the result of cultural factors rather than biological or other factors<ref>Cultural determinism - Oxford Reference. (2017, January 15). Retrieved from http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095652815</ref>. This presents the argument of nurture vs. nature. In this case how one is reared determines who they are as a person. In order to understand cultural determinism, it is important to understand what culture is. Culture is defined as “the beliefs, way of life, art, and customs that are shared and accepted by people in a particular society.<ref>Culture in Sociology topic. (n.d.). Retrieved from http://www.ldoceonline.com/Sociology-topic/culture</ref>” The concept of cultural determinism emphasizes that your culture determines the type of person you are. This theory possesses some weak points. For instance, if one were to grow up in a neighborhood with crime and deviance, is it guaranteed that the person will participate in criminal activity and deviant behavior? In the digital age one looks to cultural determinism and how people easily interact with technology and how ingrained it is in our world. == Identity and Persona in relation to our online real life divide == Online and Offline our personalities can differ very much. Online, people generally tend to undertake a process known as portraying an ‘impersonation management’<ref>Jacobi, Jolande. Jacobi, S, Jolande., 1999. Psychology of C G, Jung. Reprint, Revised edn. Psychology Press. p. 33.</ref>. This is a term described in detail in ''Psychology of C G Jung'' by Jolande Jacobi (1999) that means we present ourselves in what we believe is the best light in each scenario. For example, on Instagram or Twitter (and other Social Media platforms alike) someone will normally try to only post up their most flattering photos that paint them in the best light (both figuratively and literally), in an attempt to manage the presentation of themselves. This concept can be argued further when using Erving Goffmans idea of 'masks'<ref>Erving Goffman in The Presentation of the Self In Everyday Life (1959). p. 31.</ref>, as discussed in his book [[w:The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life|''The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life'']] (1959) where Goffman argues that our personalities are fluid and thus change depended on the scenario we may find ourselves in. In terms of our Online/Real-life Divide this in turn means we are likely to change the way we behave on- and off-line; but also that we are also likely to change the way we behave on different online platforms themselves. For example one is very likely to present themselves in a different mask on Wiki*edia as opposed to Facebook, because the purpose of each environment differs greatly, and thus how one can present themselves in the best light also differs greatly. This results in a change of ones 'mask', or persona, as a result of the process of 'impersonation management'. This idea is illustrated well by Stephen Fry here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z0XS-QLDWM <ref>Fry, Stephen. 2015. Erving Goffman and the Performed Self. BBC Radio 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z0XS-QLDWM.</ref> == Psychosocial Approaches == Psychosocial study is a relatively new field which explores the ways in which psychological and social experiences are intertwined and interdependent. Psychosocial approaches are interdisciplinary, reflecting the belief that psychological and social experiences cannot be independent of each other but are rather part of one whole experience based on a sociological, historical and cultural context. As such, psychosocial approaches draw on existing fields of study including sociology, psychology, philosophy, post-colonial studies and post-structural theories. <ref>http://www.psychosocial-studies-association.org/ </ref> A psychosocial approach to the online/real-life divide would suggest that life can no longer be neatly compartmentalised into an online life and a real life, but that the prevalence of our interaction with digitisation affects our real life and vice versa. = The Effects of the Connected World = == Representation == ==== Introduction ==== The emergence of new technologies and social networks has created almost a new aspect of how we can have and form an identity, and how others play a part in the formation of this representation. The “user profile” that has become so popular on the almost all large social media platforms [including Wiki]. This “profile” function allows users to create an individual page centred around them, whether it be voicing their thoughts and research on a topic like on Wiki or whether it be creating a photograph wall of yourself and photos you have taken seen on Instagram. So the issue of representation seems undoubtedly complex and it is apparent that there is a lot more at play than people simply building up an online reflection of the self, allowing for a lot more fabrication. ==== The Proteus Effect- Nick Yee ==== Yee and Co’s <ref> Bailenson, J., Ducheneaut, N. Yee, N., (2009). The Proteus Effect Implications of Transformed Digital Self-Representation on Online and Offline Behaviour, Stanford University Department of Communication, Stanford, CA </ref>studies around the Proteus effect shines light on the notion of an online self by examining avatars in Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVEs) and studies people’s online behaviour when given an avatar with certain traits seen as more desirable on the platform. Yee notes that “Instead of focusing on the structural affordances of the computer-mediated environment, studies in TSI have shown how strategic changes in an avatar’s appearance or behaviour can affect how other users interact with that avatar”. From this we know that there is a strong relationship between an offline self and their online counterpart – being an avatar or a personal profile page – and this relationship dictates how exactly people proceed to present themselves online. It continues saying it seems that people want to see the best qualities and be most desirable version of themselves online [from their behavioural tenancies when their avatar is more “desirable”] this seems extremely telling on the issue of representation. It can thus be noted that people don’t want a full realistic version of them shown but there is a strong selection process in which people pick and choose factors they want other to see. This can be said to constitute a strong real life online divide as how people wish to be represented on any platform involving exhibiting a form of themselves is noticeably different to real life interactions where it can be argued to be a simple case of what you see is what you get. The study goes on to discuss Multiuser Domains (MUDs) and the findings here help to shine light on the key issue within this sub-topic, being misrepresentation. It states that on certain platforms there is an aspect of gender bending, so people are creating profile and personas yet gendering them differently than their own and acting in ways they possibly think is more suited to that gender role. The behaviours and character traits that are used are noted to not fit the individual’s own and so we see here that people use the divide from real life to misrepresent themselves and escape on identity into another, escapism being a whole other topic in itself. However this shows us that the divide that exists can offer opportunities to escape one notion of self that exists offline and in a positive way misrepresent a version of ourselves which can be noted as a clear effect of living in this connected world. Although these MUDs and CVEs differs from platforms in which user profiles are a more “direct” representation of you [featuring photos, your thoughts in posts, etc] this study can still be seen as useful to learn about this whole notion of an offline online representation as it quite concisely examines how we present ourselves behaviourally when there is a keyboard and screen to hide behind. == Narrative == The way we choose to tell the story of ourselves online is a complex way in which we can examine how we see our lives and the effects the connected world has had on us. I believe storytelling on social media platforms goes above simply writing long posts about what happened to you recently and is more interactive and importantly encouraged by these large platforms. When we travel somewhere Facebook encourages us to post this journey with geo-location, when we attend an event we are encouraged to tweet using a hashtag for the event and when we watch a television show we are now encouraged to watch along – giving every thought and opinion on some app or social platform. These alone do not tell much of a story but it is on these user profile timelines as seen on Twitter, Facebook and the Snapchat story that when viewed for their collective value begin to build up a narrative around the individual or organisation and so creates a more rounded identity. Aisling G M Kelliher (2007) <ref> Kelliher, A G M (2007) Everyday Storytelling: supporting the mediated expression of online personal testimony. Massachuesetts Institute of Technology, USA </ref> describes the online storytelling that has become prevalent in recent years as “transforming our fragmentary narratives into shareable narratives [which] helps us to understand and communicate who we are as individual and social beings”. This seems to eloquently summarise this idea of taking the offline experiences we have on a daily basis and turning this into content we can like, share and comment on. It can be argued both that this feature of creating narratives of our offline world on social media platforms in bridging the offline/online gap that exists or that it distances us further from reaching that point as the selection process of what we deem glamorous enough to share on social media can be seen to giving a false account of the “real” that we are striving to understand in this study. == Privacy and Security == === Introduction === As discussed earlier, in this day and age the technology needed to establish your identity and create your own image is not just available, but it is a necessary part of everyday life with the internet being an integral part of most work and social lives. Social media and dating websites are the two most widely used ways to share private information. Through messages and status updates etc. there is a lot of content shared (supposedly to a selective audience) that people don’t want to be public. This ranges from people hobbies and interests to nude photos and all other types of content: there is a lot of information out there which is shared with the intention of being private, only available to certain individuals. Unfortunately, the expectation that privacy is an option will often leave people disappointed. === Is Snapchat Secure? === Although privacy is intended by most social media and dating apps, they all tend to have their loopholes and issues that lead to what is meant to be private becoming public. Snapchat is arguably the riskiest social media platform to use in terms of privacy because of the false sense of security they very deliberately provide. This makes is a great example of the limits of to which private information is secure compared to what people believe. One of the key concepts of the app is that the content you share or send is deleted. They claim very openly that they do not store the data that you post, it is automatically deleted. This feature has dictated the way people use the app, posting content pretty much care free because it will disappear after ten seconds. But the assumption that the information will be gone forever is a decidedly wrong one. There are main reasons that Snapchat is not as secure as people believe. The first is the one that most are aware of. Even though the image sent is gone (and supposedly deleted forever) that does not stop the receiver from very easily screenshotting the image on their phone; even though Snapchat doesn’t necessarily store it, somebody else can. The saving grace of this loophole is that it is a well-known problem with maintaining privacy; by in large, everybody knows how to do it. On top of this, Snapchat do not deny that screenshotting is a thing. Since the knowledge is public it is not as harmful; people can send Snapchats based on their trust relative to who they are sending the image to. The second security threat to Snapchat is one that people are not aware of. It demonstrates the dishonesty which comes from social media platform and other apps concerning security and privacy of information. Snapchat clearly states that they do not store any data, it is deleted after it disappears from your phone screen. This is even a core marketable feature of the app. However, this has been proven to be untrue repeatedly. Data shared is not gone forever as promised. This is a little known, though publicly reported fact. The FBI has access to information shared on snapchat and has the right to request it to work on cases. What this means is that Snapchat does indeed store the data users share on its servers. === What Does The Lack Of Security Mean? === dangerous way in which this fact can be exposed is with hacks. Snapchat’s server has been hacked in the past and supposedly private and deleted content has been shared publicly online. The most famous instance of this was the occurrence of “The Snappening”, the name of which was a reply to “The Fappening”. These were both instances of thousands of naked photos of celebrities (which were obviously intended to be private) being hacked, stolen from the servers (which Snapchat claimed did not hold such data) and posted publicly online. This all means that Snapchat is an unsafe way to share information privately as people you know can use it in ways you don’t intend and strangers can acquire it without the user’s knowledge. Other social media platforms are very similar in how information that is meant to be private can lack the security people expect. In modern times the personal image of oneself can be created online and offline. It is now clear that doing so online through Social Media etc. offers at most the same amount of privacy as living in reality, where it is also difficult to guarantee security of information. == Production and Consumption == ==== Social Media Careers ==== For students studying a degree like Film and Media it can be very difficult to find work once the degree is done. The field of study is known partially for having few clear job prospects or career paths at the end. The vast number of students in that industry cannot all fit into internships or job placements; there are not enough to go around. Fortunately, there are many new opportunities arising which do not include any physical employment; rather they are done over the internet. There are job opportunities as well as entire careers which centre around social media and producing content entirely online. An example of this is working as a social media manager for a company or even a celebrity. Companies and celebrities use social media to control their image online, which is very important. Thus, there are many opportunities to post content on behalf of a corporation as a Social Media Manager. This is just one of the career paths that can be found online because of new technology. This demonstrates the extent to which online image is important and how one’s career can be defined by online work. ==== Creative Practices ==== The internet can be described as a marketplace- in the way that a market place is a structure where buys and sellers exchange goods, services and information. The internet can be used for all of these things, however the 'buyer' and 'seller' can exchange these things with their own information rather than legal tender such as money- creating User generated content. Users are just applying the concept of a marketplace to a more social atmosphere. This user generated content is what fills most of the internet and can come in many forms, for example Facebook as a media platform to communicate and share pictures of yourself and follow your interests, and Wikipedia as a way in which to contribute to an online forum and expand your own knowledge and those that engage with the page. The news has also moved online. The most popular social media apps are ones that circulate or produce news, such as Facebook where many trustworthy news sites post their articles as links online to enable them to be read more widely. = Artificial Intelligence = == Definition == Artificial Intelligence is defined in Russell & Norvig's seminal textbook [[w:Artificial Intelligence:A Modern Approach|Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach]] as a subject that "encompasses a huge variety of subfields, ranging from the general...to the specific."<ref>Russell, J. & Norvig, P. (eds). Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, Prentice Hall Inc, 1995. p. 1</ref> For the purposes of this book, Artificial Intelligence will be defined as a machine that can process and comprehend information, and respond to it, in a way that human beings associate with other human beings. This is a colloquial definition of the subject. For other definitions that encompass the 'general' and 'specific' that Russell & Norvig reference, their textbook covers all. ==Implications of Data Collection == Automated programs are already widely used for data collection ranging from large companies like Google<ref>http://royal.pingdom.com/2010/01/08/how-google-collects-data-about-you-and-the-internet/</ref> and Facebook, who even collect data from Internet users who are not signed-up users of its website,<ref>https://securehomes.esat.kuleuven.be/~gacar/fb_tracking/fb_plugins.pdf</ref> to government sponsored data collection<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jun/21/gchq-cables-secret-world-communications-nsa</ref> like the NSA-run surveillance program PRISM. [[File:PRISM logo.jpg|thumb|PRISM logo]] These programs store and search for data based on specific parameters set by the company, that then evolve based on what information is eventually seen to be useful or noteworthy. For companies, this tends to be whatever information can generate the most revenue. However, James Canton opines that there can be no [[w:Big data|'Big Data']] collection without the use of Artificial Intelligence. The sheer volume and processing of the information generated daily needs it. He says "In a world where there is big data everywhere, the extraction of meaning, the monetization of data for a purpose will be driven by AI."<ref>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-canton/from-big-data-to-artifici_b_10817892.html</ref> However, this is at odds with other theories of Artificial Intelligence development. In the film [[w:Ex Machina (film)|Ex Machina]] directed by [[w:Alex Garland|Alex Garland]] Artificial Intelligence is only created ''because of'' humanity's ability to collect huge amounts of data. In the film, it is theorised that Big Data is less a measure of what people think, but ''how'' they think. The scientific advisor for the film, Murray Shanahan, supported such a statement in interview. <ref>http://isciencemag.co.uk/features/interviewing-murray-shanahan-ex-machinas-scientific-advisor/</ref> When Data Collection has so many real-world consequences then the question of where the divide between online and real-life begins is raised. For the individual, data collection is unseen and silent. Its effects feel vague and slow to alter our lives, despite the fact they have altered them significantly already. When Artificial Intelligence is added into this mix it becomes a different argument entirely. If Artificial Intelligence is developed, will it be given the same rights as humans? If it is given the same human rights then is it considered a single entity? And if a single entity has the ability to collect huge volumes of data, what is stopping every single entity to collect data too? ==Chat Bots and the Future of Online Conversing== Chat Bots are defined as computer programs that attempt to simulate human conversation through spoken language or through written language. Their purpose is to engage in convincing conversation with the human user on the other end. The first notable chatbot was developed in 1966, and was called [[w:ELIZA|ELIZA]]. development of chatbots has continued until the present day. Originally, the Turing Test was first seen as a measure of a machines intelligence, and consequently of its Artificial Intelligence. Numerous chatbots can now pass the Turing Test, and under specific conditions, the test was passed in 2014<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27762088</ref> The implications of convincing chatbots are wide-ranging. The nature of communication has changed in the digital age so as to be unrecognisable to pre-digital times. Our smartphones can now automatically respond to received messages with a preassigned response. Additionally, predictive texting algorithms are heavily linked to the development of chatbots. Research was done on the effects of predictive text on spelling and grammar comprehension in children, and found negligible results.<ref>Waldron, S., Wood, C., & Kemp, N. (2016). Use of predictive text in text messaging over the course of a year and its relationship with spelling, orthographic processing and grammar. Journal of Research in Reading. doi:10.1111/1467-9817.12073</ref> However, there has been no research done into the effects that predictive text has on our choice of language. The question must be asked that if predictive text gives us suggestions of which words to use, can it influence our decisions? To what extent does the predictive text algorithm affect and choose our language for us? The 2013 film [[w:Her (film)|Her]] explores the concept of detached communication further. The character played by Scarlett Johansson is an evolved version of a chatbot, being a disembodied Artificial intelligence program. Communication with her is problematic because she does not have a body and this is explored in the film through her attempted use of an 'avatar' who is a real person. Additionally, the main character in Her works as a letter writer, composing love letters between couples and often writing both person's responses. These people are sending each other messages and communicating without choosing their own language, or being a part of that communication. Again, this strikes one as disembodied forms of communication and speaks to the significant difference between embodied and disembodied Artificial Intelligence. == A.I in Fiction == The best science fiction has always been seen to be a precursor and accurate prediction of changes that take place in the world. From dystopian in [[w:Nineteen Eighty-Four|''Nineteen Eighty-Four'']] to utopian in [[w:Looking Backward|''Looking Backward:2000-1887'']], sci-fi literature and film has always ended up blurring the line between what is real, and what is not real. Through it's very existence and predictive nature it ends up assertively comparing what is real, with what is not-yet-real. In his landmark book ''On The Internet'', the philosopher [[w:Hubert Dreyfus|Hubert Dreyfus]] states that "since robots can't be programmed to behave like people, people will have to learn to behave like robots."<ref>Dreyfus, H. (2001). On The internet. (2nd ed.). New York: Rutledge. pp. 101</ref> This is a typical pessimistic view of the development of Artificial Intelligence. However, this is not to say that it is wrong. An argument like this is inextricably linked to the Online/Real-Life Divide. === A.I's Creation to Serve Society === At it's essence artificial intelligence is created to serve it's master. This instant relationship between the creator having power over something that is trying at it's core to be as close to humans as possible. That fine line between creating a machine that functions and looks like a human but does not 'think' and 'feel' is the fine that most scifi fiction revolves around. Often the narrative puts the creations in a position of assistance, where humans rely on them in order to function, they are a new piece of technology designed for enhancing or making easier human existence. For example in the Channel 4, TV show <i>"Humans"</i> <ref>[[w:Humans (TV series)]]</ref>, the "Artificial Intelligence" in the show have human physical features, but their soul purpose is to service humans. From being a nanny and house maid for families to some of the bots being sold to have sex as prostitutes. As an audience, seeing a human face being forced (or not being giving a choice because of programming), to do something they don't want, especially sexual evokes strong conflicting emotions. Yes, the A.I is created for the purpose of serving society but giving it a human face and voice questions ideas of slavery and brings morals and ethics to mind. A.I creation is a form of technological slavery in an attempt to make human existence easier and usually in fiction it has dangerous repercussions for the creators. There is however a film that shows how A.I can be used in a positive way. The film <i>"Robot and Frank"</i> <ref>[[w:Robot & Frank]]</ref> portrays a wonderful story of a positive use of A.I technology in assisting an elderly man who lives alone, to live alone. The character of the robot does not have a human face, and perhaps this is the difference, the definitions between robot and human are defined clearly between physicality. However throughout the movie there is use of a human voice and suggested attempts at humour, it builds a level of companionship with Frank the other main character, the character is at it's element taken as a human relationship but the difference between the two is distinguished throughout due to the different physical appearances. These two different pieces of fiction really show the different directions of A.I in terms of fiction writing, focusing on the difference and importance of physical appearance and the boundaries that people expect for the future or A.I. There are a never ending list of sci-fi A.I featuring, movies but I think that these show that with a face the audience become to morally confused between the possibilities of human and machine but even without a face an audience gets emotionally attached to the character of the robot. === Where A.I controls society === The dystopian vision of a society controlled by Artificial Intelligence is born from the theory of [[w:Technological determinism|technological determinism]], a phrase that was first coined by the social scientist [[w:Thorstein Veblen|Thorstein Veblen]] to describe a society that causally changes because of developments in technology. This is opposed to [[w:Cultural determinism|cultural determinism]] which posits that culture is what causally alters developing technologies. This is often the mid/or end point of a scifi feature film, where the technology develops a mind of it's own and turns against the creator etc. a fantastic example of this is <i>"Eagle Eye"</i> <ref>[[w:EagleEye|Eagle Eye]]</ref>. The film essentially features a 'super computer' a common trope again within A.I, it has access to everything, the internet, personal records control over electrical equipment, it is a learning machine with all of the knowledge in the world. In order to save the planet, it's primary objective, it decides the only way to achieve this is to wipe out the entire race. So unfolds the fight between man and machine, creator and creation. In a fiction sense control is always in extremes where the A.I takes control of itself and uses it's power to destroy humanity. A common story line even in films such as [[w:Wall-e|Wall-e]] or [[w:Meet the Robinsons|Meet the Robinsons]], humanities fears of the machine rising against us. ===Black Mirror - Back to Before === This episode of Black Mirror is a fantastic look into the line between humanity and A.I creations, and how it can be blurred. Again it is another example of an A.I that uses a human face, but this time it is a specific person who is re-created using artificial intelligence, data trails left on social media, and private usage, the voice re-constructed from phone calls and personality aspects built on a combination of these things as well as from learning memories and experiences after its 'activation'. It is interesting as it combines many elements of A.I study, it looks at the idea that A.I is created for a particular purpose, in the sense that the main character purchases the A.I creation in order to be re-united with her dead husband, and it really pushes how far humans are willing to accept the use of A.I. This A.I takes information from the chosen persons internet use to compile a character, which is an interesting method that could definitely tie into the theories around the difference between the online self and real self. It is almost as if in this episode these identities are taken to extremes, an example of how the two differ. The main character is driven crazy by the 'half' version of her husband and so attempts to use the overriding power she has as the owner, the creator to order him to kill himself. She uses her status as a human creator to try and destroy her creation, the most interesting element is the fact that then, the <i>creation</i> uses it's knowledge and it's human face, a human face that she adores to portray human emotion, to portray fear in order to <b>"stay alive"</b>, a term used loosely. But the machine uses it's knowledge and appearance to further it's existence therefore outsmarting the human, not for malicious intent just to continue it's "life", which again pushes merges the lines between human and A.I. =References= <br> <br> <br> {{stub}} {{BookCat}} 6rpeapa7aod3ekltrg1p4oq5trm25jk 0 385165 4681548 4657713 2026-11-11T06:53:41Z ~2026-59479-08 3631061 /* The Online Real-Life Divide */ 4681548 wikitext text/x-wiki {{print version noticed }} {{print version cover}}iPhone 15 Pro = The Online Real-Life Divide = {{:Living_in_a_Connected_World/The Online Real-Life Divide}} = Privacy in a Digital Age = {{:Living_in_a_Connected_World/Privacy in a Digital Age}} = Persistent Connectivity and the Fear of Missing Out = {{:Living_in_a_Connected_World/Persistent Connectivity and the Fear of Missing Out}} = Technology as an Extension of Self = {{:Living_in_a_Connected_World/Technology as an Extension of Self}} = The Hive Mind and Collective Intelligence = {{:Living_in_a_Connected_World/The Hive Mind and Collective Intelligence}} = Digital Labour on Social Media Platforms = {{:Living_in_a_Connected_World/Digital Labour on Social Media Platforms}} = Filter Bubbles and the Flow of Information = {{:Living_in_a_Connected_World/Filter Bubbles and the Flow of Information}} = Evidence and Memory in Online Communications = {{:Living_in_a_Connected_World/Evidence and Memory in Online Communications}} = Glossary = {{:Living_in_a_Connected_World/Glossary}} {{BookCat}} dypaqe8quigobusat8yw7qu5ktu9le0 0 441766 4681316 4622424 2026-11-10T13:07:30Z Bautsch 630029 correct reading 4681316 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Duynkirchen.Kieser.1628.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2.5|The copper engraving Duynkirchen by Eberhard Kieser from the Thesaurus philopoliticus by Daniel Meisner (* 1585; † 1625) published in 1626.<br/> On the left Pythagoras with an angle measure and on the right three blacksmiths with hammers at an anvil with five staves, on which the lettering "Guido" is shown.<br/><br/> The Latin and German texts of the images have the same content and read as follows:<br/><br/> ''Triplicibus percussa sonat varie ictibus incus.''<br/> ''Musica Pythagoras struit hinc fundamina primas.''<br/><br/> ''Der Amboß von drey Hämmern klingt, darauß dreyerley thon entspringt.''<br/> ''Pythagoras hie die Music findt, das hett kein Eselskopff gekönt.''<br/><br/> In English:<br/> ''The anvil rings with three hammers, and from it springs three sounds.''<br/> ''Pythagoras finds the music here, that no donkey's head can do.'']] This textbook explains the legend of '''Pythagoras in the Forge''' which, as it has been handed down, cannot have happened in this way, but has a realistic basis.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Über die pythagoreischen Wurzeln der gregorianischen Modi [Mater Dolorosa Berlin-Lankwitz] |url=https://www.mater-dolorosa-lankwitz.de/wiki/doku.php/musik:ueber_die_pythagoreischen_wurzeln_der_gregorianischen_moden |access-date=2025-10-24 |website=www.mater-dolorosa-lankwitz.de}}</ref> The intention and the aim of this textbook is to convey the historical, physical, and music-theoretical background to the discovery of musical intervals. ==Preface== The connections between sounds and numbers were not only studied in antiquity. In the Middle Ages, music, together with arithmetic and geometry, belonged to the four liberal arts of the quadrivium. These subjects still offer a rewarding field for music-theoretical considerations and investigations, and this concerns various vocal temperaments still in use today as well as, for example, music-aesthetic aspects or tonal theory. The author hopes that these remarks on the ancient legend can contribute to awakening or consolidating interest in the subject. ==The invention of music== {{w|Pythagoras of Samos}} (* around 570; † after 510 B.C.) is said to have invented music, according to legend, through his visit to a forge. This does not mean that there had been no music before, but that he is said to have been the first to give music a theoretical basis by assigning the ratios of the natural numbers six, eight, nine and twelve to the pure musical intervals prime, fourth, fifth and octave.

Vienna, Austrian National Library, 12th&nbsp;century.]] ===Tradition in antiquity=== Unfortunately, no writings by Pythagoras exist (he may not have left any at all), and the oldest sources date from many centuries after his death. {{w|Nicomachus of Gerasa}} recorded Pythagoras' discoveries at least 600 years after his death. But even these records have not survived, so that we have to resort to the late antique Latin writing ''De institutione musica'' ('''Introduction to Music'') by {{w|Boethius}}, which was written only about 1000 years after Pythagoras and presumably also refers to Nicomachus, among others. In any case, in the tenth chapter of ''De institutione musica'' it is described "how Pythagoras investigated the relationships of the harmonic sounds."<ref>[http://12koerbe.de/arche/boe-mu1.htm#X. X. Wie Pythagoras die Verhältnisse der Zusammenklänge untersucht hat], in: ''De institutione musica : Von der musikalischen Unterweisung'', Boethius, nach Gottfried Friedlein, Leipzig, Teubner, 1867; ins Deutsche übersetzt von Hans Zimmermann, Görlitz, 2009</ref> According to the legend of Pythagoras in the forge, he passed by a workshop "by a divine hint" and noticed the harmony of the individual tones caused by five different hammer blows. Because he suspected that the individual tones were caused by the type and force of the hammer blows, he induced the craftsmen to change the tools. He noticed that the individual tones were not connected with the craftsmen, but with the tools and that the tools, which resonated together, were in certain whole-number weight relationships to each other. According to the eleventh chapter of ''De institutione musica'', he would have subsequently investigated these relationships when varying the tension weights of strings and finally also with the monochord, and also researched different lengths and thicknesses of the strings.<ref>[http://12koerbe.de/arche/boe-mu1.htm#XI. XI. Auf welche Weisen von Pythagoras die verschiedenen Verhältnisse der Zusammenklänge ausgemessen wurden.], in: ''De institutione musica : Von der musikalischen Unterweisung'', Boethius, nach Gottfried Friedlein, Leipzig, Teubner, 1867; ins Deutsche übersetzt von Hans Zimmermann, Görlitz, 2009</ref> ===Tradition in the Middle Ages=== Another 500 years later, i.e. 1500 years after Pythagoras' work, the medieval music theorist and Benedictine {{w|Guido of Arezzo}} (* around 992; † 1050) in his ''Micrologus'', also in Latin, again refers to Boethius. In the twentieth chapter, Guido mentions "how music was invented from the sound of hammers".<ref>[https://archive.org/details/micrologusguido00hermgoog/page/n129/mode/2up Kapitel XX. wie die Musik aus dem Klange der Hämmer erfunden worden sei], in: ''Micrologus Guidonis de disciplina artis musicae'' / ''Kurze Abhandlung Guido's über die Regeln der musikalischen Kunst'', ins Deutsche übersetzt von Michael Hermesdorff, Trier, 1876</ref> This tradition of the legend of Pythagoras mentions that he passed a forge where forging was said to have been done with five hammers on an anvil. In the older tradition of Boethius, however, there is no mention of the smiths leading the hammers or of an anvil. <div style="clear:both"></div> ==Contradictions== A physical analysis of the facts that have been handed down reveals a number of contradictions. [[File:Quader A l.png|right|thumb|upright=2|Rod with length <math>l</math> and cross-sectional area <math>A</math>.]] For this purpose, we consider an idealised hammer head in the form of a cuboid rod with the greatest length <math>l</math>. Its volume <math>V</math> together with its cross-sectional area <math>A</math> results in: :<math>V = l \cdot A</math> The mass <math>m</math> is at a density <math>\rho</math>: :<math>m = V \cdot \rho = l \cdot A \cdot \rho</math> The weight force <math>F</math> of the hammer head can be directly calculated from the mass <math>m</math> by the proportional constant of the acceleration due to gravity <math>g = 9.8 \frac {\text {m}} {\text {s}^2}</math> can be calculated: :<math>F = m \cdot g = l \cdot A \cdot \rho \cdot g</math> The natural frequency or pitch <math>f</math> of hammerheads made of the same material is usually not inversely proportional to their weight <math>F</math>, but depends essentially on their exact geometry. The longer the geometric extension in a body, the lower the natural frequency in this direction or of the associated longitudinal vibration mode. The lowest audible frequency is therefore correlated with the greatest length <math>l</math> of the hammer head. The natural frequency <math>f</math> of hammerheads, however, is practically not audible at all because it lies in a frequency range that is too high. The speed of sound <math>v</math> in steel is about 5000&nbsp;metres per second, and with a typical forging hammer head length <math>l</math> of 10&nbsp;to 16&nbsp;centimetres, <math>f = \frac{v} {2 \cdot l}</math> results in natural frequencies between 15&nbsp;and 25&nbsp;kilohertz, which cannot be perceived in connection with a pitch. [[File:Saitenschwingung.png|right|upright=2|thumb|Vibrating string with length ''l'' and tension force ''F''.]] Finally, it should be noted that the tensile weight <math>F</math> of a string of length <math>l</math> is neither proportional nor inversely proportional to the frequency <math>f</math> of the string vibrations or to the pitch. Rather, it is proportional to the square root of the tension weight <math>F</math>. Furthermore, the pitch is inversely proportional to the length <math>l</math> and the thickness <math>D</math> of the string: :<math>f \propto \frac{\sqrt{F}}{l \cdot D}</math> ==Attempted explanation== These contradictions can be eliminated if the following facts are considered or taken into account: * Pythagoras may have witnessed or even accompanied the complicated and elaborate construction of the '''Tunnel of Eupalinos''', over 1000 metres long, on his native island of Samos. * During Pythagoras' lifetime, the monumental '''Heraion of Samos''' was built of limestone and marble. * The Latin word '''faber''' does not have to be translated as ''blacksmith'', but can also be translated as ''craftsman''. * There were certainly more workshops and craftsmen for '''stone working''' than for metal working at that time. * The Latin word '''fabrica''' means workshop and not smithy. * Workshops in which '''at least four craftsmen''' forged at the same time with hammers of different sizes were likely to have been rare. * With '''chisels''' the pitch <math>f</math> is in the well audible range. * In '''chisels''' the pitch <math>f</math> of the longitudinal vibrations is inversely proportional to their length <math>l</math>. * For '''chisels''' of equal cross-sectional area <math>A</math>, the pitch <math>f</math> is therefore also inversely proportional to their length <math>l</math>, to their volume <math>V</math>, to their mass <math>m</math> and to their weight <math>F</math>. * The pitch <math>f</math> of a vibrating '''string''' is inversely proportional to its length <math>l</math>. * The pitch <math>f</math> of a vibrating '''string''' is inversely proportional to its thickness <math>D</math>. The following sound examples illustrate the pitches of five metal rods or chisels of different lengths when mechanically excited along the longitudinal axis with one blow, for example by a hammer. The metal bars all have the same cross-sectional area, and the lengths as well as the natural frequencies and the pitches are in a ratio of 12 to 9 to <math>\sqrt {72}</math> to 8 to 6 length units. [[File:Four.chisels.svg|left|thumb|upright=2|Four Pythagorean chisels with the in harmonic length and mass and natural frequency ratios 12:9:8:6.<br/> <gallery caption="Pitches of five metal bars of different lengths" style="text-align:center"> Chisel.1st.ogg|Basic tone with 12 length units.

Chisel.tritone.ogg|Tritone (exactly half an octave) with <math>\sqrt {72} \approx</math> 8.485 units of length. The corresponding chisel is not shown in the picture above and has a length between the two chisels with 8 and 9 length units. </gallery>]] <div style="clear:both"></div> The metal bars with the integer length units produce harmonious sounds in all combinations, whereas the metal bar with a non-rational length ratio of <math>\sqrt {72}</math> sounds dissonant to all others. With some corresponding and plausible assumptions, a scenario emerges that could have happened in Pythagoras' time, without any contradictions with physical laws: If the events of Boethius' tradition, which mentions neither forges nor anvils, took place in a workshop for '''stonemasons''' and was inaccurate in the point of naming the tools to the effect that not only the hammers but ensembles of chisels of the same cross-section but of different lengths and hammers were meant, the sounds and pitches would have been clearly audible and caused by hammer blows but attributable to the chisels. Under this assumption, the integer ratios of the pitches would have been identical to those of the lengths or weights of the chisels and completely independent of the craftsmen and the hammers used. [[File:Monochord.Deutsches.Museum.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2|Two parallel monochords on a common resonance box in Deutsches Museum in Munich.]] When experimenting with a '''monochord''' and constant string tension and texture, Pythagoras would have found exactly the same relationship between string length and pitch for a certain string thickness and exactly the same relationship between string thickness and pitch for a certain string length as between chisel length or chisel weight and pitch. A string twice as long with the same thickness or a string twice as thick with the same length will sound exactly one octave lower than the string with the same thickness or length. The ratios observed here with the products of the two natural numbers two and three correspond to the consonant intervals octave, fifth, fourth and prime. In relation to any fundamental, the corresponding four Pythagorean tones result in a so-called '''tetrachord'''. Further investigation of these ratios finally yielded the diatonic scale of the seven tones A - B - C - D - E - F - G. This heptatonic scale forms the basis for the ancient '''Systema Téleion''' of the Greeks, which developed in the centuries after Pythagoras, as well as for the four main church keys '''Protus''', '''Deuterus''', '''Tritus''' and '''Tetrardus''', which developed in the centuries after Boethius. The ancient investigations with the tension weights of strings may have been carried out, but they are neither sufficient nor necessary for these findings. If the tension of the string is doubled, the result is a frequency increased by a factor of the square root of two (≈&nbsp;1.4142), which corresponds to a tritone interval commonly perceived as dissonant. Nevertheless, this irrational number was also known to both the Pythagoreans and, long before, the Babylonians. ==Compositions== In harmony theory, the four Pythagorean tones are of great importance, as they form the framework of one of the most frequently used final cadences consisting of tonic, subdominant, dominant and tonic. The folowing example shows the cadence C major&nbsp;-&nbsp;F major&nbsp;-&nbsp;G major&nbsp;-&nbsp;C major with the respective root of the four chords in the bass voice. [[File:C-Dur-Kadenz.pythagoreischeToene.png|left|thumb|upright=1.2|The four Pythagorean notes c&nbsp;-&nbsp;f&nbsp;-&nbsp;g&nbsp;-&nbsp;c' are depicted '''<span style="color:#0000FF">blue</span>''.<br/>[[File:C-Dur-Kadenz.ogg|center|thumb|Hearing example of the final cadence in C-Major.]]]] <div style="clear:both"></div> These four Pythagorean notes are, for example, a central motif of the Impromptus (opus number 5) by {{w|Robert Schumann}} (*&nbsp;1810; †&nbsp;1856) for piano of 1833 on a theme by {{w|Clara Wieck}}. ===Gregorianian Chant=== [[File:Pythagoras and King David, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Munchen, BSB, CLM 2599, folio 96v.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5|Illumination "Pythagoras in the Forge" to the work "De musica cum tonario" by Johannes Cotto (around 1100) from a collected manuscript of the Cistercian Abbey of Aldersbach. The third chapter describes the invention of music by Pythagoras. Among other things, the work also contains extensive instructions for the composition of monophonic Gregorian chant and the organum.]] The first transcriptions of the melodies of Gregorian chant are made with adiastematic neumes, in which the direction of the pitch for the following tone could be recorded upwards, to the same pitch or downwards, as well as the approximate duration of the tones. It was not until Guido of Arezzo introduced line notation with diastematic neumes in the 11th century that the intervals of diatonic melodies could also be precisely notated. In the various traditions from the Middle Ages, there are slightly different melodic progressions for the liturgical Latin texts. C and F clefs were already used, but a tuning pitch was not yet available, so that the absolute pitches are not fixed despite the naming of the seven tones on the diatonic scale. ====Ad te levavi==== The Gregorian antiphon ''Ad te levavi'' is sung as the Introit on the first Sunday in Advent. The melody in the VIIIth&nbsp;tone (tetrardus plagalis) with the finalis (final tone)&nbsp;G begins on the text "Ad te levavi animam meam". The Latin text from the Nova Vulgata with the first three verses of the 25th&nbsp;Psalm and the corresponding Hebrew letters Aleph, Beth and Ghimel reads as follows: :Psalm 25 (24),1-3A<ref>[https://www.vatican.va/archive/bible/nova_vulgata/documents/nova-vulgata_vt_psalmorum_lt.html#PSALMUS%2025 Psalm 25 (Nova Vulgata)]</ref> :1 ''Aleph. '''Ad te''', Domine, '''levavi animam meam''','' :2A ''Beth. Deus meus, in te confido; non erubescam.'' :2B ''Neque exsultent super me inimici mei,'' :3A ''Ghimel. etenim universi, qui sustinent te, non confundentur.'' The text of the first verse appears again in Psalm 143 (Nova Vulgata): :Psalm 143 (142),8<ref>[https://www.vatican.va/archive/bible/nova_vulgata/documents/nova-vulgata_vt_psalmorum_lt.html#PSALMUS%20143 Psalm 143 (Nova Vulgata)]</ref> :''Auditam fac mihi mane misericordiam tuam, quia in te speravi.'' :''Notam fac mihi viam, in qua ambulem, quia '''ad te levavi animam meam'''.'' The melody restored after the Graduale Novum consists of twenty notes in the first verse, fourteen of which belong to the Pythagorean tetrachord c&nbsp;-&nbsp;f&nbsp;-&nbsp;g&nbsp;-&nbsp;c' and the remaining six can be considered as ornaments or passing notes. The melodic section ends on the note&nbsp;F, the repercussa (the sustaining note or tenor) is the&nbsp;C.

This coincidence is quite striking, and it seems as if the anonymous medieval composer wanted to point us to the Pythagorean origin of music theory and the systems of ancient and Gregorian modes with this first piece of Gregorian repertoire in the Christian church year. ====Factus est repente==== Another example from the Gregorian repertoire is the Communion of Pentecost Sunday ''Factus est repente de caelo sonus'' (''Made is suddenly from heaven a sounding'')<ref>Compare [https://www.bibleserver.com/EU/Apg2 Acts of the Apostles chapter 2], Einheitsübersetzung, 2016</ref> in the VIIth&nbsp;tone (Tetrardus authenticus) with the tenor&nbsp;D and the finalis&nbsp;G. The text describes the Pentecost event in which the Holy Spirit descended on the Christian community with tongues of fire and brought about the speaking in tongues. Except for the first three notes of the strongly accented group neume (porrectus flexus) with the two top notes f' and the passing note e' a semitone below, the elemental melody of the first verse consists only of the Pythagorean notes g&nbsp;–&nbsp;c'&nbsp;–&nbsp;d.

This composition is framed by an aria consisting of two parts of 16 bars each. Otherwise, it comprises eight variations of 21 bars each on the theme ''Ad Malleorum Ictus Allusio'' (''To allude to the blows of the hammers'') and ends with the chant ''Summo Deo Gloria''. The individual pieces are all built on the fundamental notes c-f-g-c', which are variedly played around and harmonised.

The two Ariae reveal a number of similarities. As a young man, Johann Sebastian Bach had already composed an equally outstanding work for the organ, namely the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor (Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis 582). The eight-bar main theme of the Passacaglia consists of fifteen notes, ten of which correspond to the Pythagorean tones.

Regardless of the question of which of the regularities described here were actually investigated and found in antiquity, inaccuracies have obviously occurred in the medieval and modern traditions. Furthermore, unhistorical additions have been made to the legend that has been handed down, but these need not be considered further for the interpretation of Boethius' tradition. Nevertheless, inaccuracies in the traditions and the additions and changes that were not in line with actual practice have certainly contributed to the fact that even the oldest reports on Pythagoras' investigations have been relegated to the realm of legends by many authors - but perhaps quite unjustly according to the above explanations. The German theoretical physicist '''{{w|Werner Heisenberg}}''' (*&nbsp;1901; †&nbsp;1976) wrote in his 1937 essay ''Thoughts of Ancient Natural Philosophy in Modern Physics'': <blockquote> The abstractness of the modern concept of the atom and of the mathematical forms which serve today's atomistics as an image for the multiplicity of phenomena already leads over to the second basic idea which the exact natural science of our time has taken over from '''antiquity''': the thought of the sense-giving power of mathematical structures. The harmonies of the ''Pythagoreans'', which Kepler still believed to find in the orbits of the stars, have been sought by natural science since Newton in the mathematical structure of the dynamic law, in the equation formulating this law. The successes of this view of nature, which has in part led to a real mastery of the forces of nature and thus decisively intervened in the development of mankind, have proved the belief of the '''Pythagoreans''' right to an unforeseeable degree. This turn means a consistent implementation of the programme of the '''Pythagoreans''' insofar as the infinite multiplicity of natural events finds its faithful mathematical image in the infinite number of solutions of an equation, such as Newton's differential equation of mechanics. </blockquote> ==Dedication== The main author thanks his teacher {{w|Lorenz Weinrich}} (*1929).

The concept under consideration—Hobo tourism ([[w:Russian language|Russian]]: [[b:ru:Бомж-туризм|Бомж-туризм]]) also Bum tourism, Vagabond tourism, Tramp tourism; harsh backpacking or Russian backpacking is a format of long trips a-la homeless people life. The origin of the term is based on a combination of the Russian words "[[w: ru:Бомж|бомж]]" and "[[w: ru:Туризм|туризм]]" However term should not be taken literally— homeless + tourism ("voyage of a homeless person"): people who do not have housing don’t travel the planet. The choice of a phrase so strange at first glance as a name explained by the fact that the existence of a traveler (or an independent tourist) following these postulates for some time becomes similar to the life of a homeless person wandering around the world. Anyone who is annoyed by the word displayed in the title, don’t advise to continue reading: it is unlikely that the technique will appeal to you, since the content fully corresponds to the title. This is a typical Russian method; the alternative to it is the well-known (pro-Western method) backpacking. The textbook describes a practical approach, supplementing the text part with an abundance of illustrations, sometimes videos; and also contains the category "Optional material", which presents real events as an example and Russian-language literature on the topic. It is not necessary to read the "elective", in particular, for those users who prefer to act independently. The creator of textbook is Russian traveller [[d:Q104033754|Viktor Pinchuk]]. == Content == {{Book search}} {{Print version}} '''Introduction:''' [[Hobo tourism/Long intercontinental trips and expeditions|Long intercontinental trips and expeditions]] ;[[/Overnight stays in long intercontinental journeys/]]: :[[/Overnight stays in long intercontinental journeys/In the flophouse (dosshouse)|In the flophouse (dosshouse)]] :[[/Overnight stays in long intercontinental journeys/In Aboriginal dwellings|In Aboriginal dwellings]] :[[/Overnight stays in long intercontinental journeys/In an abandoned building|In abandoned buildings]] :[[/Overnight stays in long intercontinental journeys/In the company of homeless people|In the company of homeless people]] :[[/Overnight stays in long intercontinental journeys/In a public toilet|In a public toilet]] :[[/Overnight stays in long intercontinental journeys/At the police station|At the police station]] :[[/Overnight stays in long intercontinental journeys/In halls and stairwells|In halls and stairwells]] :[[/Overnight stays in long intercontinental journeys/At the cemetery|At the cemetery]] :[[/Overnight stays in long intercontinental journeys/In the ancient pyramid|In the ancient pyramid]] :[[/Overnight stays in long intercontinental journeys/On objects under construction|On objects under construction]] :[[/Overnight stays in long intercontinental journeys/Under the open sky|Under the open sky]] :[[/Overnight stays in long intercontinental journeys/Hostels|In hostels]] '''Ways of moving:''' [[/Transport /]] '''What to take with you:''' [[/Equipment/]] '''Tips for self-sufficiency in food''': [[/Food/]] '''Who chose this method:''' [[/Subject|Subject of hobo tourism]] ---- '''For additional information:''' <p><span style="color: #006400;">Survival practice in extreme conditions (specific examples):</span></p> :[[/Visiting Death/]] (about traveler involuntarily staying in an uninhabited territory) :[[/One day in an Afghan prison/]] :[[/African Robbery/]] :[[/Tropical fever in the bum tour (an example from practice)/|Tropical fever in the bum tour]] <p><span style="color: #006400;">Routes traveled by the author:</span></p> :[[/First creative trip of Viktor Pinchuk to Africa|First creative trip to Africa]] :[[/Creative trip to India/]] :[[/Creative trip to Mongolia/]] :[[/Second creative trip of Viktor Pinchuk to Africa|The second creative trip to Africa]] :[[/Afghan Expedition of Viktor Pinchuk|Afghan Expedition]] :[[/Third creative trip of Viktor Pinchuk to Africa|Third creative trip to Africa]] :[[/Bum tour of winter Japan/]] :[[/Viktor Pinchuk's expedition to Papua New Guinea|Expedition to Papua New Guinea]] :[[/Latin American expedition of Viktor Pinchuk|Latin American expedition]] :[[/Viktor Pinchuk's solo expedition to Africa (2017/18)|Solo expedition to Africa (2017/18)]] :[[/Viktor Pinchuk's expedition to the Islands of Oceania|Expedition to the islands of Oceania]] <p><span style="color:#006400">Travel literature in the bum tour format ([[w:Russian language|in Russian]]):</span></p> :[[/Third African trip/]] :[[/Japan for free/]] :[[/Six months by islands... and countries/]] :[[/Mongolian huyvaldagch/]] :[[/Two hundred days in Latin America/]] :[[/Afghan prisoner/]] :[[/Holiday of wandering mzungu/]] :[[/Two months of wandering and 14 days behind bars/]] :[[/Indian dreams/]] <p><span style="color: #006400;">Some tips for spending high-days (and examples from practice):</span></p> :[[/How to celebrate the New Year in bum tours/]] {{commons|Category:Illustrations for textbook "Bum tourism"/«Бомж-туризм»}} <p><span style="color: #006400;">Author's TV project, recommended for viewing with the purpose of additional familiarization with the topic ([[w:Russian language|in Russian]]):</span></p> :[[/Around the world with empty pockets/]] ==See also == * [[Cultural travel]] is a type of wandering around the planet that partially overlaps with the basic principles of hobo tourism. {{BookCat}} {{Shelves|Tourism}} {{alphabetical|B}} {{status|100%}} 9s9tgyzwk5v7ix3daamieaf5xx8odbo 0 451529 4681565 4681159 2026-11-11T10:53:19Z JCrue 2226064 sources for alternate name 4681565 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Chess Opening Theory/Position |Czerniak attack |eco=[[Chess/ECOB|B20]] |parent=[[../|Sicilian defence]] |aka=Snyder Variation, Cowboy Attack }} == 2. b3!? · Czerniak attack == A rare but interesting sideline against the Sicilian, 2. b3 prepares to fianchetto the queen's bishop to b2, where it will pressure Black's king's side.

Nxe5''') to counter the Halloween Attack. Although this recovers the pawn, it ignores the hanging knight and gives White back a drawish position, with higher winning chances for White. Worse, it unnecessarily keeps the position symmetrical, which means White still has a first move advantage. This line has no established name, but it is informally called "'''Mirrored Halloween'''" here, because this is Black's mirroring response to the Halloween Attack's main move ('''4. Nxe5'''). There are usually 2 main moves White will most commonly try: '''5. Nxc6''', taking the black c6 knight and ignoring the hanging black e4 knight, and '''5. Nxe4''', taking the hanging black e4 knight, ignoring the hanging white knight on e5. === 5. Nxc6 === White takes the knight on c6, attacking the queen. Because Black has a hanging knight on e4, his only move is to counterattack by playing '''5...Nxc3!''' (Because if he takes the white knight with '''5...bxc6??''' or '''5...dxc6??''', White can simply win a knight after '''6. Nxe4!.''' If Black plays '''5...Qe7??''', White can take the black queen, every other queen move loses a knight (The white knight on c6 can retreat back, making Black lose a knight). Every other move loses a queen due to ignoring the hanging queen. For example, '''5...Nxf2??''' is refuted by '''6. Qe2+!''', a check that sidesteps the attack entirely, and Black cannot stop '''7. Nxd8''', or '''7. Nxe7'''.), counterattacking the white queen. If White wishes to deal with this, either '''6. dxc3''', or '''6. bxc3''', removing Black’s attacking knight on c3, after which Black removes White’s attacking knight on c6 by playing either '''6...dxc6''', or '''6...bxc6'''; or '''6. Nxd8,''' trading queens; will be good options according to Stockfish. If White plays '''6. Nxd8''', Black will respond with '''6...Nxd1''', recovering material. Notably, Paul Keiser, author of the article in issue 8 of the Unorthodox Openings Newsletter, only analysed line continues '''6. dxc3''' after '''5...Nxc3''', which he assesses as equal.<ref name=":1" /> {{Chess/board | moves = 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nxe5 Nxe4 5. Nxc6 Nxc3 6. Nxd8 Nxd1 | caption = Position after Black's move of '''6...Nxd1'''. }} === 5. Nxe4 === White takes the knight on e4. Black will likely follow up with '''5...Nxe5''', recovering material. '''6. d4''' is a good centre attacking move for White that also gains tempo by kicking the black knight. The position is very drawish, with White being slightly better by having a better centre. {{Chess/board | moves = 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nxe5 Nxe4 5. Nxe4 Nxe5 6. d4 | caption = Position after White's move of '''6. d4'''. }} === 5. Qh5 === This is an uncommon move and also White's most aggressive option, directly threatening '''6. Qxf7#''', forcing Black into defence of their f7-square. Black can make a lot of mistakes from here. ==== 5...Nxe5?? ==== Black plays the common blunder '''5...Nxe5??''', hoping to remove an attacker of the f7-square and trade pieces, White can take the knight with check ('''6. Qxe5+!'''), forcing the black king to cover, and now there is no way to save the e4 knight, there are simply too many attackers. If Black plays '''6...Qe7''' (Black's best try, since the queen x-ray defends the knight and counterattacks the queen), then White can play '''7. Qxe7+!''', then take the black knight on e4. ==== 5...g6? ==== If Black instead plays the also common mistake '''5...g6?''', mimicking the [[Chess Opening Theory/1. e4/1...e5/2. Qh5/2...Nc6/3. Bc4/3...g6|'''Wayward Queen Attack'''<nowiki/>'s most common defence]], Black loses a pawn after this sequence: '''6. Nxc6!''' (counterattacking the black queen) '''gxh5 7. Nxd8 Nxc3 8. Nxf7''' (White desperado sacrifices the white knight for a pawn, knowing the knight is doomed anyway, and Black cannot sacrifice his knight for any compensation, and if Black retreats, White can just escape with the free pawn.) '''Kxf7 9. dxc3'''. ==== 5...Nd6 ==== This is Black's fairly rare but best try, retreating the black knight to defend f7. But White can lunge forward with '''6. Nd5''', playing aggressively. White has very good winning chances here in this position. Black has to play precisely to survive in this position. {{Chess/board | moves = 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nxe5 Nxe4 5. Qh5 Nd6 6. Nd5 | caption = Position after White's move of '''6. Nd5'''. }} ==== 5...Qf6?! ==== This is a better move than the blunders described on this page, but it is a small inaccuracy, since it allows White to win a pawn, make Black lose castling rights, and gain development. The best move for White is '''6. Qxf7+''', starting the trade that will win them a pawn and make Black lose castling rights. Then Black will regain material with '''6...Qxf7''', then White will regain material with '''7. Nxf7'''. The black king will then take on f7 with '''7...Kxf7''', losing castling rights. Now it seems like Black is ahead on material here, but the e4 knight is hanging, so White can win back the material and, in the end, they will have won a pawn. The best move for White now is not to take the black knight on e4 immediately but play an intermediate move (zwischenzug) by playing '''8. Bc4+''', forcing the king to move or block with the only legal block '''8...d5??'''. There is no legal move that defends the knight and deals with the check at the same time except '''8...d5??''' which seems like it defends the black knight and blocks the check, but this blunders a pawn via '''9. Bxd5+''' and fails to defend the knight anyway since the pawn is the only defender of the knight. Black now must move the king, two good moves are the natural '''8...Ke8''', or the unnatural but best move by the engine (Stockfish 19 NNUE) '''8...Ke7'''. Then, White takes the knight with '''9. Nxe4,''' ending this tactical sequence with a bishop developed, a knight centralised, a black king that lost castling rights, and a pawn gained. {{Chess/board | moves = 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3.

In issue 8 of the Unorthodox Openings Newsletter (February 2003), Paul Keiser lists '''4...Nxe4''' under "The gambit declined" and marks it !?. He observes that Black does not have to accept the piece but seldom declines it, and he assesses only one continuation, that being '''5. Nxc6 Nxc3 6. dxc3 bxc6 7. Bd3 Be7''', as equal. The one game he cites for the line was played online in 1997, when the chess engine Brause (White) beat a 2410-rated opponent named scorpiocy (Black) in 29 moves.

Actual income says otherwise, rather loudly. This is not a fluke of one weird survey question — it's one of the more durable findings to come out of a dataset that has been quietly interviewing Americans about exactly this kind of thing since 1972: [https://gss.norc.org/ the '''General Social Survey''', or GSS].<ref>Smith, T. W., Marsden, P. V., & Hout, M. (2013). ''General Social Survey, 1972–2010 [Cumulative File]'' (ICPSR 31521). Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research [distributor]. https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR31521.v1</ref> You are going to spend the rest of this semester with this dataset. It deserves a proper introduction before you start running functions on it. [[File:13A2 living room ~ north -notes- (61653949).jpg|alt=Image inside a standard American home.|thumb|center|800x800px|The GSS provides a regular snapshot of the lives, beliefs, values, and behaviors of everyday Americans.]] == A Survey With a Track Record == The GSS is conducted by [https://www.norc.org/ '''NORC''' (originally the National Opinion Research Center, now known simply as NORC)], an independent research organization affiliated with the University of Chicago. It has been fielded almost every year or two since 1972, funded primarily by the [https://www.nsf.gov/ National Science Foundation], which means it exists specifically to serve basic social science research rather than any particular commercial or political interest. Fifty-plus years of the same core questions, asked the same careful way, is what makes the GSS valuable in a way that a one-off internet poll simply cannot match. A single survey tells you what people think right now. A survey repeated consistently for half a century tells you how American society has actually changed — not how people remember it changing, which, per Chapter 1, is a very different and considerably less reliable thing. == What the GSS Actually Measures == The GSS is not narrowly focused on any one topic, which is part of its appeal. In a single interview, a respondent might be asked about their job satisfaction, their views on capital punishment, how many hours of television they watch, whether they believe in a god, how happy their marriage is, and how much they trust their neighbors. Broadly, GSS questions fall into a few major territories: * '''Demographics''' — age, sex, race, education, marital status, region: the basic architecture of who a respondent is. * '''Socioeconomic characteristics''' — income, occupational prestige, subjective class identification (the source of this chapter's opening example). * '''Attitudes and beliefs''' — happiness, political views, trust in institutions, views on gender roles, and dozens of other topics that shift over the decades in ways that are genuinely interesting to track. * '''Religion''' — affiliation, attendance, belief in a god, and related questions, treated with the same systematic rigor as everything else. * '''Behaviors''' — voting, church attendance, hours worked, and other things people actually do, as opposed to what they believe or feel. Researchers have used the GSS to study everything from the decline of religious affiliation to shifting attitudes on marriage, race, and gender, to whether Americans trust each other less than they used to (a genuinely contested and interesting question — [[Statistics for Sociologists/Chapter 13: Hypothesis Testing, t-Tests, and Effect Sizes|more trust-related material comes back in Chapter 13]]). This is not a boring demographic clipboard. It is one of the more complete running records of American social life that exists. == How the GSS Is Collected: Sampling, in Plain English == You cannot interview all roughly 260 million American adults, and thankfully, you don't need to. The GSS relies on '''[[wikipedia:Sampling_(statistics)|probability sampling]]''': a method of selecting respondents such that every adult in the target population has a known, nonzero chance of being included. This is the opposite of, say, an online poll that anyone can click into — a method that captures only the people who happened to see the link and cared enough to respond, which is not a representative slice of anybody. Before going further, three terms are worth pinning down, because they'll recur constantly from here on. A '''population''' is the entire group you actually care about — every American adult, in the GSS's case. A '''sample''' is the smaller subgroup you actually observe and measure, which you then use to draw conclusions about the population you couldn't fully observe. A '''parameter''' is a summary number describing the population (the true percentage of American adults who attend religious services weekly, say) — a number that, outside of a full census, is essentially never actually known. What you calculate instead, from your sample, is a '''statistic''' — the sample's own percentage of weekly attenders — which you use as your best estimate of the parameter you can't directly see. Nearly everything from here to Chapter 13 is really just this same move, dressed up in different formulas: using a known statistic to make an honest guess about an unknown parameter. (One edge case worth naming: if you somehow did measure the entire population — every single American adult — that's called a '''census''', and you wouldn't need any of the statistical machinery in this book at all. There'd be no estimating involved, because you'd already have the real number. The GSS is emphatically not a census; it's a sample-based estimate, which is exactly why the sampling design matters so much.) === Five Ways to Build a Sample — and Which One the GSS Actually Uses === Not all probability samples are built the same way. Here are the main approaches, in roughly increasing order of real-world practicality for something like a national survey: * '''Simple random sampling (SRS)''' — every member of the population has an equal, independent chance of selection, as if every American adult's name were in one enormous hat. It's the cleanest method to reason about mathematically, and nearly impossible to actually pull off at national scale: there is no single list of all 260 million American adults to draw names from, and even if there were, interviewers would end up scattered across every zip code in the country trying to reach one respondent here, one two states away. * '''Stratified sampling''' — divide the population into subgroups ("strata") first — by region, say, or race, or age — and then sample randomly within each stratum. This guarantees that smaller subgroups show up in the final sample in known, adequate numbers, rather than leaving it to chance whether, say, enough rural respondents happen to get picked. * '''Cluster sampling''' — divide the population into naturally occurring groups ("clusters") — city blocks, counties, schools — randomly select some clusters, then interview everyone inside the selected clusters. Cheaper to field than SRS, because interviewers work a manageable number of geographic areas instead of chasing addresses scattered across the whole country, but it risks missing the fine-grained representativeness that stratification buys you. * '''Multistage sampling''' — a refinement of cluster sampling: instead of interviewing everyone inside each selected cluster, take a further random subsample within it. Repeat that logic across several nested levels (region → county → neighborhood → household, for instance), and you get a sample that's still built entirely on known probabilities of selection, but at a fraction of the cost and logistical headache of true SRS. * '''Systematic sampling''' — pick a random starting point, then take every ''k''th unit from an ordered list (every third name on an alphabetical roster, every tenth house on a block). Simple to execute, and behaves almost like SRS as long as the list itself has no hidden pattern that lines up with the interval you're using. So which of these does the GSS actually use? All of the first four, stacked together. NORC's own sampling design documentation describes the GSS as a '''stratified, multistage area-probability cluster sample'''.<ref>NORC at the University of Chicago. ''GSS Codebook Appendix A: Sampling Design and Weighting''. https://gss.norc.org/content/dam/gss/get-documentation/pdf/codebook/GSS_Codebook_AppendixA.pdf</ref> In plain English: NORC first divides the country into geographic strata and selects large areas within them (metro areas or groups of counties), then samples smaller areas within those — census tracts in cities, block groups in rural areas — then finally samples individual households within the selected areas, so an interviewer only needs to knock on doors within a manageable number of neighborhoods rather than driving to isolated addresses coast to coast. Every household still has a known, calculable probability of ending up in the sample; that probability is just built up in stages rather than in one single random draw. NORC rebuilds this entire sampling frame from scratch after every U.S. Census, most recently based on the 2020 count. [[File:Funnel Tree Illustrating Complex Sampling.png|none|thumb|1000x1000px|This image illustrates the sampling approach used by the General Social Survey. (NOTE: This image was created using a Large Language Model. Details are provided on the image's discussion page.)]] === When Probability Sampling Isn't Used === Not every sample you'll encounter — in this book, in the news, or in your own future research — is built this carefully, and it's worth knowing the common alternatives if only to spot them when a claim leans on one: * '''Convenience sampling''' — surveying whoever is easiest to reach: people you already know, students walking through a particular building on a particular morning, whoever's willing to click on a link you posted. * '''Quota sampling''' — deciding in advance how many respondents you want in each demographic category (say, matching known population percentages by age and sex), then filling those quotas with whoever's available, rather than randomly. * '''Snowball sampling''' — recruiting a few initial participants and asking them to refer others, useful (sometimes the only option) for reaching populations with no available list to sample from in the first place, such as people experiencing homelessness or members of a stigmatized group. None of these are automatically worthless — snowball sampling may be the only realistic way to study a genuinely hard-to-reach population, and a well-built quota sample can look reasonably representative on the traits it deliberately controlled for. What they all share, though, is that some people's odds of inclusion are unknown or effectively zero, which breaks the assumption that makes probability sampling trustworthy. That's precisely the assumption that lets you calculate a margin of error in Chapter 11 — without it, you're left trusting that a sample resembles the population, with no formal way to say how confident you should be, or how wrong you might be. Because the GSS uses probability sampling with a sample of roughly 1,500–3,000 respondents per wave (depending on the year), it can support a claim that a convenience or quota sample cannot: that the pattern observed in the sample plausibly generalizes to the U.S. adult population as a whole, within a margin of error that can actually be calculated. You'll learn precisely how that margin of error gets calculated starting in Chapter 11. For now, the important idea is this: a sample doesn't need to be enormous to be trustworthy, but it does need to be selected in a way that gives everyone a fair, known chance of ending up in it — however many stages that selection takes to pull off. '''Quick check, before moving on:''' for each pair below, which is the population of interest and which is the actual sample — and does the sampling method described sound like it would hold up as a fair, generalizable picture of the population? * Population of interest: all nurses in Tampa. Who got surveyed: every nurse working at a single hospital, Tampa General. * Population of interest: young adults aged 18–24 in Brussels. Who got surveyed: 400 students at a local university. * Population of interest: all students at a university. Who got surveyed: the first 300 students to walk through one particular building on one Tuesday morning. * Population of interest: all athletes at a high school. Who got surveyed: every third athlete on an alphabetical roster. There's no code to run for this one — just sit with each pair for a second and ask whether the "who got surveyed" column could plausibly stand in for the "population of interest" column, and why. (The last one, notably, is systematic sampling done reasonably well; the others lean convenience, and it's worth naming specifically what each one is missing.) == A Note on Which GSS Data This Book Uses == This book uses the '''[https://gss.norc.org/content/dam/gss/get-the-data/documents/spss/2010_spss.zip 2010 wave]''' of the GSS throughout, and it's worth being upfront about why. The 2010 data are fully collected, cleaned, publicly released, and — crucially for a textbook — will never change. A book built around the most recent available wave would be describing outdated data within a year or two of publication, as new waves are released and old ones are revised. The 2010 wave gives every reader of this book, regardless of when they pick it up, the exact same dataset to work with and the exact same numbers to check their work against. This is a deliberate teaching choice, not a claim that 2010 represents some contemporary snapshot of American life. If your instructor wants to discuss how things have shifted since then, that's exactly what lecture is for — this book teaches you the methods; your professor can point you at whatever vintage of data answers today's question. == Getting the Data: The GSS Data Explorer == The GSS is publicly available, free of charge, through the '''[https://gssdataexplorer.norc.org/ GSS Data Explorer]''' . You can browse every variable ever asked, build a custom extract containing just the variables and years you want, and download it in several formats, including plain CSV and SPSS's native <code>.sav</code> format. Your instructor will most likely provide you with an already-prepared extract rather than asking you to build one from scratch — for this course, that extract will be a <code>.sav</code> file, typically named something like <code>gss2010.sav</code>. It's still worth knowing how to find a variable in the Data Explorer directly, because the codebook entries there contain information (exact question wording, response categories, missing value codes) that's useful to see in its original context even when your data file already carries most of it internally, which — as you're about to see — a <code>.sav</code> file does. [[File:Screenshot of GSS Data Explorer Website.jpg|alt=Screenshot of the GSS Data Explorer website.|center|thumb|800x800px|The GSS Data Explorer is a useful way to examine variables included in all of the waves of the General Social Survey.]] == The Structure of GSS Data: Cases and Variables == Like any dataset you'll meet in this book, the GSS is organized into '''cases''' (rows) and '''variables''' (columns). Each case is one respondent — one real adult who sat down with an interviewer and answered questions. Each variable is one question, or one piece of information derived from a question. A respondent's row might show <code>AGE = 34</code>, <code>SEX = 2</code>, <code>HAPPY = 2</code>, and so on — a compact numeric summary of a conversation that, in reality, took the better part of an hour. That numeric encoding is worth sitting with for a second: <code>SEX = 2</code> does not mean "twice as much sex" any more than a jersey number means a player is twice as good. It's a code standing in for a category. This distinction — what a number is actually allowed to mean — is the entire subject of [[Statistics for Sociologists/Chapter 4: Types of Variables and Levels of Measurement|Chapter 4]], and it matters more than it sounds like it should. For now, understand that, unless the number actually stands for that value (e.g., AGE = 34), the number is a "code" for something else. This will make more sense once in a couple of chapters. == Key Variables You'll Use All Semester == You'll encounter dozens of GSS variables across this book, but a handful will recur constantly.

It's the more honest choice whenever this book wants to illustrate a genuinely continuous, ratio-level income measure, and it's what you'll see used for that purpose starting in Chapter 5. <code>WORDSUM</code> — a simple count of correct answers on a 10-item vocabulary test — is another clean ratio-level variable worth knowing early: unlike income, where "zero" is genuinely ambiguous (no income this year? unemployed? missing?), a <code>WORDSUM</code> score of zero means exactly one thing, which makes it a nice, uncomplicated example anywhere this book needs one. == The Missing Data Problem (A Preview) == Open any GSS variable and you will eventually run into values like 0, 8, 9, 98, or 99 sitting among otherwise sensible numbers. These are not real responses — they're codes meaning things like "not applicable," "don't know," or "refused to answer," and if you don't catch them, R will cheerfully average them in with everyone else's real answers as though refusing to answer a question were itself a meaningful data point on some numeric scale. Here's a piece of good news that depends entirely on ''how'' you load the data, which is exactly why this chapter is about to spend real time on that question: a <code>.sav</code> file doesn't just store the numbers respondents gave — it stores the codebook information about which of those numbers are supposed to count as missing. Load it with the right tool, and a meaningful share of this problem is handled for you before you've typed a single line of cleanup code. Load the same data as a bare CSV, and you're on your own until Chapters 5 and 6, which teach you to do it by hand. Either way, the underlying rule doesn't change: '''always check the codebook before you trust a number.''' Automatic handling reduces the manual work; it doesn't excuse you from knowing what's in your data. == Loading GSS Data Into R == You'll typically work with a file called <code>gss2010.sav</code>, saved in your project folder. Here are three ways to bring GSS data into R — you'll mostly use the third, but all three are worth recognizing. '''Base R, from a CSV export:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> gss <- read.csv("gss2010.csv") </syntaxhighlight> '''dplyr / tidyverse, from a CSV export:'''<ref>Wickham, H., Hester, J., & Bryan, J. ''readr: Read Rectangular Text Data''. R package. https://readr.tidyverse.org</ref> <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(readr) gss <- read_csv("gss2010.csv") </syntaxhighlight> '''haven, from the .sav file (this course's default):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(haven) gss <- read_sav("gss2010.sav") </syntaxhighlight> All three approaches produce a data frame called <code>gss</code>, one row per respondent, one column per variable — but they are not equivalent in what else they bring along. <code>read.csv()</code> and <code>read_csv()</code> give you raw numbers and nothing more; whatever a <code>2</code> or an <code>8</code> "means" lives only in a codebook you have to consult separately. <code>read_sav()</code> reads the value labels and missing-value definitions that are embedded in the SPSS file itself, which buys you two things immediately: by default, values the file's own metadata marks as missing (GSS's "don't know," "refused," and "not applicable" codes) are converted straight to R's <code>NA</code> on import, and the category labels for variables like <code>RELIG</code> or <code>HAPPY</code> are attached to the data and can be revealed with a single function, <code>as_factor()</code>, rather than the manual <code>factor(levels = ..., labels = ...)</code> approach you'll learn in Chapter 4: <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> gss_labeled <- as_factor(gss) </syntaxhighlight> This is a real convenience, not a shortcut around understanding — you'll still learn the manual approach in Chapter 4, both because it's the foundation everything else builds on and because not every dataset you ever touch will arrive as a tidy <code>.sav</code> file with its metadata intact. But for this book's GSS-based examples, haven is doing meaningful, unglamorous work in the background from the moment you load the file. == First Look at the Data == Once loaded, don't immediately start analyzing. Look first. <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> head(gss) # first six rows str(gss) # structure: variable names and types summary(gss) # quick numeric summary of every column names(gss) # just the variable names </syntaxhighlight> Running these four lines on any new dataset, before doing anything else with it, is a habit worth making automatic. It's the data equivalent of checking your mirrors before pulling out of a parking space — unglamorous, easy to skip, and the exact thing you'll wish you'd done the one time something goes wrong. One thing you'll notice with a haven-imported file: <code>str()</code> will describe columns as <code>dbl+lbl</code> rather than plain <code>int</code> or <code>num</code>. That's haven's '''labelled''' class — a number that's quietly carrying its value labels along with it, visible any time you ask for them with <code>as_factor()</code>, and invisible (in a good way) any time you just want to compute with the underlying numeric codes. [[File:Self-Reported Social Class in the 2010 General Social Survey.jpg|alt=a bar chart of self-reported social class|center|thumb|800x800px|This figure, created in R, shows self-reported social class in the 2010 General Social Survey.]] == Chapter Summary == The GSS is a survey that has been asking a representative, probability-based sample of American adults about their demographics, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors almost every year since 1972, run by NORC at the University of Chicago. This book uses the 2010 wave specifically, because it's stable and won't change out from under a printed textbook. GSS data is organized into cases (respondents) and variables (questions), and a handful of variables — spanning demographics, socioeconomics, attitudes, and religion — will recur throughout this book. Watch for missing data codes (0, 8, 9, 98, 99) hiding among real values; a <code>.sav</code> file loaded through haven's <code>read_sav()</code> converts many of these to <code>NA</code> automatically using the file's own embedded metadata, while a plain CSV import leaves that work for Chapters 5 and 6. For now, the essential skill is loading a GSS file into R — with <code>read.csv()</code> or <code>read_csv()</code> for a CSV export, or <code>read_sav()</code> from the haven package for the <code>.sav</code> file this course uses — and taking a careful first look with <code>head()</code>, <code>str()</code>, <code>summary()</code>, and <code>names()</code> before doing anything else. == Practice Examples == === Example 1: Load and Explore === '''The Research Question:''' What does the 2010 GSS dataset actually look like once it's loaded into R — how many respondents, how many variables? '''The Code:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(haven) gss <- read_sav("gss2010.sav") dim(gss) str(gss) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> [1] 2044 847 tibble [2,044 × 847] (S3: tbl_df/tbl/data.frame) $ FOUND : 'haven_labelled' num [1:2044] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... ..- attr(*, "label")= chr "Case was retrievable in 2012" ..- attr(*, "format.spss")= chr "F8.0" ..- attr(*, "display_width")= int 10 ..- attr(*, "labels")= Named num [1:3] -1 0 1 .. ..- attr(*, "names")= chr [1:3] "IAP" "Not found" "Found" </syntaxhighlight> '''The Interpretation:''' <code>dim()</code> reports the number of rows (respondents) and columns (variables) in one line. <code>str()</code> gives you the same information in more detail — notice the <code>dbl+lbl</code> tag on each column instead of plain <code>int</code>. That's haven's labelled class: these are still numbers underneath, but each one is carrying its codebook label along for the ride, which is exactly why they'll be easier to work with in Chapter 4 than a bare CSV import would be. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Run <code>names(gss)</code> and scroll through the full list of variables. Pick three you don't recognize and look them up in the GSS Data Explorer codebook. Then try <code>as_factor(gss$RELIG)</code> and compare what it shows you to the raw <code>gss$RELIG</code> column — what changed? === Example 2: Find a Variable, Meet Its Missing Codes (Two Ways) === '''The Research Question:''' What values does <code>HAPPY</code> actually take in the data, and are any of them suspicious? Does it matter how the file was loaded? '''The Code (CSV import, base R):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> gss_csv <- read.csv("gss2010.csv") table(gss_csv$HAPPY) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Code (CSV import, dplyr):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(dplyr) gss_csv %>% count(HAPPY) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Code (.sav import, haven — this course's default):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(haven) gss <- read_sav("gss2010.sav") table(gss$HAPPY, useNA = "ifany") </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output (CSV version):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> 1 2 3 538 1184 317 </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output (.sav/haven version):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> 1 2 3 <NA> 538 1184 317 5 </syntaxhighlight> '''The Interpretation:''' Same underlying data, two different pictures. In the CSV version, all the respondents are assigned a value 1 through 3 — the real response categories for this question (1 = "very happy," 2 = "pretty happy," 3 = "not too happy"). Depending on which CSV file you have, you may also have some additional values: -99 and -98. Those are not a fourth and fifth flavor of happiness. They are "don't know" and "no answer," dressed up as numbers, and left untreated R would happily fold them into any mean or correlation you calculated. In the haven version, <code>read_sav()</code> already recognized those same codes as user-defined missing values from the file's metadata and converted them straight to <code>NA</code> — that's the 5 respondents (3 + 2) showing up honestly as missing rather than disguised as extra categories. This is the concrete payoff of the workflow this chapter recommends; it's also exactly the trap Chapters 5 and 6 exist to help you avoid by hand, for the cases haven's metadata doesn't catch. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Look up <code>HAPPY</code> in the GSS Data Explorer codebook and confirm what values -98 and -99 actually represent. Then pick one variable and run both the CSV and haven versions of this comparison yourself — do the missing counts match what you'd expect? === Example 3: Cross-Referencing the Data Explorer and R === '''The Research Question:''' Does what R shows you about a variable match what the official codebook says? '''The Code:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> summary(gss$EDUC) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. NA's 0.00 12.00 13.00 13.46 16.00 20.00 5 </syntaxhighlight> '''The Interpretation:''' R reports a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 20 years of education, with a mean around 13.5. Cross-referencing this against the GSS Data Explorer's codebook entry for <code>EDUC</code> confirms these are genuine years-of-education values (0 through 20, with 20 meaning "20 or more years") rather than a coded stand-in for something else — good news, since it means this particular variable can be trusted at face value once any legitimate missing codes are handled. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Pick a variable you have a personal guess about — something like average hours of TV watched (<code>TVHOURS</code>) or number of children (<code>CHILDS</code>) — and compare R's <code>summary()</code> output to your intuition before you looked. Were you close? == References == <references/> {{BookCat}} 0fy35a68p2sg4ame9uicgi912u47x3a 0 485145 4681394 4662135 2026-11-10T15:53:10Z Rcragun 41177 /* Ratio */ added a caption for the image. 4681394 wikitext text/x-wiki = Chapter 4: Types of Variables and Levels of Measurement = Here is a sentence that is grammatically valid, mathematically executable, and entirely meaningless: "The average religious affiliation in America in 2010 was 2.6, which is about half Catholic and half Jewish." R will compute that number for you without complaint the moment you ask it to. The problem isn't R. The problem is that nobody told R — or, more to the point, nobody told ''you'' — that religion isn't the kind of thing you're allowed to average. This chapter is about knowing, before you run analyses in R, what a variable will actually let you do with it. Skip this chapter and you can still write working R code. You just won't be able to trust anything it tells you. == Why Variable Type Is the Most Important Thing You'll Learn This Semester == Every statistic in this book — every mean, every correlation, every t-test — carries an unstated assumption about the kind of variable it's being applied to. Ignore that assumption and the software will not stop you. R does not know or care whether "religion" is a number you're allowed to average; it just sees numbers and does what numbers do. The judgment about whether that's an appropriate thing to ask of the data has to come from you. This is, not coincidentally, one of the more common ways published research goes wrong. Not fraud, not incompetence — just a mismatch between the kind of variable someone had and the kind of statistic they ran on it. == Levels of Measurement == Statisticians sort variables into four levels of measurement,<ref>Stevens, S. S. (1946). On the theory of scales of measurement. ''Science'', 103(2684), 677–680.</ref> sometimes remembered by the acronym '''NOIR''' — an appropriately moody name for a topic this dry, like a detective show but with fewer deaths, roughly the same number of false starts, and considerably more decimal places. === Nominal === '''Nominal''' variables are categories with no inherent order. Race, religion, region, sex — you can count how many respondents fall into each category, and you can compute a mode (see [[Statistics for Sociologists/Chapter 8: Measures of Central Tendency|Chapter 8]]), but there is no meaningful sense in which one category is "more" or "less" than another, and there is certainly no meaningful average. Which brings us back to the opening example. GSS's <code>RELIG</code> variable codes Protestant as 1, Catholic as 2, Jewish as 3, and so on. Running <code>mean(RELIG, na.rm = TRUE)</code> will not produce an error. It will produce a number — 2.6, in the 2010 GSS — and that number will describe nothing real about the world. The average religion in America is not "half Catholic and half Jewish." It's an artifact of doing arithmetic on labels that only look like numbers because a codebook had to store them somehow. Importantly, software like R is much better at running analyses on numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) than on values (e.g., Protestant, Jewish, Catholic, etc.). That's why values are stored as numbers and codebooks tell you what the values represent. === Ordinal === '''Ordinal''' variables are categories with a genuine order, but the distance between categories isn't guaranteed to be equal. The GSS's <code>HAPPY</code> variable — very happy, pretty happy, not too happy — is a clear example. "Very happy" is clearly more than "pretty happy," which is clearly more than "not too happy." But is the gap between "very happy" and "pretty happy" the same size as the gap between "pretty happy" and "not too happy"? There's no way to know, and probably no reason to assume so. The values can be put in an order, but the gap is not clear or consistent. === Interval === '''Interval''' variables have equal, meaningful distances between values, but no true zero — zero doesn't mean "none of the thing." Temperature in Celsius is the standard example: the gap between 10° and 20° equals the gap between 20° and 30°, but 0°C doesn't mean "no temperature," it means "the point at which water happens to freeze." True interval variables are genuinely rare in the GSS and in sociology generally; most of what looks interval is actually ordinal data being treated as if it were interval (more on that shortly). === Ratio === '''Ratio''' variables have equal intervals ''and'' a true zero, where zero means the complete absence of the thing being measured. Age, years of education, and constant-dollar income (<code>CONRINC</code>) are all ratio variables in the GSS: zero years of education really does mean no formal education, and this is what lets you say something like "person A has twice the years of education as does person B" — a comparison that would be nonsense for interval data, and complete incoherent for nominal or ordinal data. A particularly clean ratio-level example, worth keeping in your back pocket: <code>WORDSUM</code>, a simple count of correct answers on a 10-item vocabulary test. It has equal intervals (the gap between 3 and 4 correct is the same as the gap between 7 and 8), a true zero (zero correct really does mean zero), and none of the ambiguity that complicates a variable like income, where "zero" could mean genuinely no income, a respondent who didn't answer, or a coding artifact depending on which GSS income variable you're looking at. When you want an uncomplicated ratio-level variable to illustrate a concept without also having to explain a bunch of caveats, <code>WORDSUM</code> is often the best choice. The real point of NOIR isn't memorizing four labels. It's this: '''the level of measurement determines what you're allowed to do with a variable.''' Means require at least interval-level data. Modes work on anything. Everything you'll learn from Chapter 8 onward assumes you've correctly identified which bucket a variable belongs in before you touch it. [[File:NOIR - Nominal Ordinal Interval Ratio - infographic.jpg|alt=An infographic illustrating levels of measurement|center|thumb|800x800px|This infographic illustrates the four levels of measurement - nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. (NOTE: The image was created using a Large Language Model. See the image page for details on how it was created.)]] == Discrete vs. Continuous == Independent of level of measurement, variables are also either '''discrete''' (countable, with gaps between possible values — you can have 2 children or 3, never 2.5, no matter how the parent of the 2 looks by dinnertime) or '''continuous''' (able to take any value within a range, at least in principle — age is often treated as continuous even though the GSS records it in whole years, and income would be genuinely continuous if it weren't typically collected in bands). This distinction matters most when you get to visualizing distributions in Chapter 7 and modeling relationships in Chapter 16 — discrete and continuous variables tend to call for different kinds of plots and, later, different regression approaches. == Independent and Dependent Variables == One more distinction belongs in this chapter because you'll need it in every inferential chapter from here to the end of the book: '''independent variables''' (predictors, causes, the thing you think is doing the explaining) and '''dependent variables''' (outcomes, the thing being explained). If you're asking whether education predicts income, education is your independent variable and income is your dependent variable — X causes, Y merely reacts, which is about as close as mathematics gets to office politics. This distinction is theoretical, not statistical — R has no idea which of your variables you intend as the cause and which as the effect. You decide that based on sociological reasoning, and the statistics you run in Chapters 13 through 16 will test whether the data are consistent with the story you've told, not whether the story itself is correct. == A Complication: Treating Ordinal as Interval == Here is an uncomfortable, entirely common practice you should know about now rather than discover later and feel betrayed by: sociologists routinely treat ordinal variables — Likert-type scales especially, "strongly disagree" through "strongly agree" — as though they were interval, and compute means, standard deviations, and correlations on them as a matter of course. Strictly, this is a violation of NOIR's rules: a 5-point agreement scale doesn't guarantee that the psychological distance between "agree" and "strongly agree" equals the distance between "disagree" and "agree." Practically, decades of methodological research suggest that treating a reasonably long ordinal scale (five categories or more, roughly symmetric) as interval rarely distorts results badly, and the convenience of being able to compute means and run standard models is considerable.<ref>Norman, G. (2010). Likert scales, levels of measurement and the "laws" of statistics. ''Advances in Health Sciences Education'', 15(5), 625–632.</ref> This book will do this too, when appropriate, because it reflects how sociology is actually practiced. Just do it knowingly rather than by accident; there's a meaningful difference between an informed simplification and an oversight, even when they produce the same line of code. == Checking and Converting Variable Types in R == R's own type system doesn't map perfectly onto NOIR, but it gives you the tools to enforce the right behavior once you know what you're aiming for. <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> class(gss$RELIG) str(gss$RELIG) </syntaxhighlight> Fresh off a CSV import, a variable like <code>RELIG</code> will almost always show up as <code>integer</code> or <code>numeric</code> — which is exactly the problem, because R now considers it fair game for <code>mean()</code>. Converting it to a '''factor''' tells R, explicitly, "this is categorical, treat it accordingly": <syntaxhighlight lang="r">gss$RELIG <- factor(gss$RELIG, levels = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13), labels = c("Protestant", "Catholic", "Jewish", "None", "Other", "Buddhism", "Hinduism", "Other Eastern Religions", "Muslim/Islam", "Orthodox-Christian", "Christian", "Native American", "Inter-Nondenominational"))</syntaxhighlight> Now <code>summary(gss$RELIG)</code> returns a count per category instead of a nonsensical mean. R changes its behavior entirely based on the object's declared type, which is the whole point of doing this. If you loaded your data with haven's <code>read_sav()</code> instead, as this course does, you can usually skip typing out <code>levels</code> and <code>labels</code> by hand — the <code>.sav</code> file's own metadata already carries those labels, and <code>haven::as_factor()</code> reads them directly: <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> gss$RELIG <- as_factor(gss$RELIG) </syntaxhighlight> This produces the same kind of result — a proper factor with readable category labels — without you having to know or retype the codebook's numeric scheme yourself. It's worth learning the manual <code>factor()</code> approach above regardless, both because you'll encounter CSV-only data eventually and because understanding what <code>as_factor()</code> is doing for you under the hood is exactly the kind of thing that keeps you from being helpless when it does something you don't expect. One classic trap worth flagging before it happens to you: calling <code>as.numeric()</code> directly on a factor does '''not''' give you back the original numbers. It gives you R's internal level codes — typically 1, 2, 3... in whatever order the factor's levels happen to be stored — which may or may not match the numbers you started with. This has confused enough generations of R users that it deserves its own paragraph and, frankly, its own support group. If you need the original numeric values back, convert to character first, then to numeric: <code>as.numeric(as.character(x))</code>. == Chapter Summary == Every variable has a level of measurement — nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio — and that level determines which statistics are legitimate to run on it, regardless of whether R stops you from running them anyway. Nominal variables (like religion) support counts and modes but not means; ordinal variables (like happiness) add a genuine order but not guaranteed equal spacing; interval and ratio variables (like age and income) support the full range of arithmetic, with ratio variables alone supporting meaningful statements like "twice as much." Variables are separately discrete or continuous, and in any relationship you study, one variable typically plays the independent (predictor) role and another the dependent (outcome) role — a distinction that matters for every inferential chapter ahead. Sociologists commonly treat long ordinal scales as interval for practical purposes; this book does too, but deliberately. In R, <code>class()</code> and <code>str()</code> reveal how a variable is currently stored, and <code>factor()</code> lets you correct it — just watch for the <code>as.numeric()</code>-on-a-factor trap along the way. == Practice Examples == === Example 1: Identify the Level of Measurement === '''The Task:''' For each of the following GSS variables, identify its level of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio) and briefly justify your answer: <code>RACE</code>, <code>HAPPY</code>, <code>AGE</code>, <code>EDUC</code>, <code>MARITAL</code>. '''The Code:''' None required — this is a conceptual exercise. If you want to peek at the actual values first, though: <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> table(gss$RACE) table(gss$HAPPY) table(gss$MARITAL) summary(gss$AGE) summary(gss$EDUC) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output:''' (Varies by variable — categorical variables will show a count per category; <code>AGE</code> and <code>EDUC</code> will show a numeric summary.) '''The Interpretation:''' <code>RACE</code> and <code>MARITAL</code> are nominal — categories with no inherent order (there is no sense in which "divorced" is more or less than "married"). <code>HAPPY</code> is ordinal — clearly ordered, but without guaranteed equal spacing between categories. <code>AGE</code> and <code>EDUC</code> are ratio — equal intervals, a true zero, and division is meaningful (a 40-year-old is twice the age of a 20-year-old; a 40-year-old with a GED is not automatically anything relative to a 20-year-old with the same, which is a good reminder that "ratio" describes the variable, not every possible comparison you might want to make with it). '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Find one GSS variable not listed here that you find genuinely ambiguous to classify. Make a case for two different levels of measurement it could reasonably be assigned, and explain what would change about how you'd analyze it under each classification. === Example 2: Check and Correct Variable Types === '''The Task:''' Confirm how <code>RELIG</code> is currently stored in R, then convert it to an appropriately labeled factor. '''The Code:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> class(gss$RELIG) gss$RELIG <- factor(gss$RELIG, levels = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13), labels = c("Protestant", "Catholic", "Jewish", "None", "Other", "Buddhism", "Hinduism", "Other Eastern Religions", "Muslim/Islam", "Orthodox-Christian", "Christian", "Native American", "Inter-Nondenominational")) class(gss$RELIG) summary(gss$RELIG) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> > summary(GSS2010$RELIG_F) Protestant Catholic Jewish None Other 973 482 37 363 20 Buddhism Hinduism Other Eastern Religions Muslim/Islam Orthodox-Christian 18 4 3 11 8 Christian Native American Inter-Nondenominational NA's 90 2 20 13 </syntaxhighlight> '''The Interpretation:''' Before conversion, R considered <code>RELIG</code> a plain integer — mathematically fair game for a mean, which would have been meaningless. After conversion to a factor with proper labels, <code>summary()</code> automatically switches to reporting category counts, and the labels make the output immediately readable without cross-referencing a codebook. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Try running <code>mean(gss$RELIG)</code> both before and after the factor conversion. What happens the second time, and why is that arguably a better outcome than getting a number back? === Example 3: What Happens When You Average a Nominal Variable === '''The Task:''' Deliberately compute the mean of a nominal variable and observe the result, so you recognize this mistake instantly if you ever see it in the wild — including, potentially, in your own code three weeks from now. '''The Code:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> relig_numeric <- as.integer(gss$RELIG) mean(relig_numeric, na.rm = TRUE) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> [1] 2.566716 </syntaxhighlight> '''The Interpretation:''' R obligingly reports that the "average religion" is 2.566716. This number is not wrong in an arithmetic sense — it correctly describes the mean of the underlying codes. It is wrong in every sense that matters, because the codes were never meant to be added together in the first place. The correct move here isn't a different formula; it's a different statistic entirely — a frequency table and a mode, not a mean. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' What should you report instead of a mean for a nominal variable like this? Compute it, and write one sentence describing <code>RELIG</code>'s distribution the way you'd actually want it to appear in a paper. == References == <references/> {{BookCat}} 1xrjqren22gyzmoy9c1l55lu549hssr 0 485146 4681398 4666545 2026-11-10T15:58:54Z Rcragun 41177 /* Chapter 5: Loading, Exploring, and Cleaning GSS Data */ noted it is an AI generated image 4681398 wikitext text/x-wiki = Chapter 5: Loading, Exploring, and Cleaning GSS Data = Data cleaning is 80% of data analysis. The other 80% is also data cleaning. (The math doesn't add up. That's the joke.) Cleaning data does not feel like a discrete phase you finish and move past — it's more like laundry: you will do it again next week, on a different dataset, and it will still take longer than you think. This chapter teaches that unglamorous, essential work. Real data is messy. GSS data, gathered from tens of thousands of real conversations over five decades, is especially messy. The good news is that "messy" here means "predictably messy" — the same handful of problems show up again and again, and once you know what to look for, cleaning a dataset stops being mysterious and starts being routine. [[File:Illustration of Raw Data Versus Cleaned Data.png|alt=Image showing messy survey data on the left and clean data on the right.|center|thumb|800x800px|Raw data before it is cleaned can be messy. R is an excellent tool for cleaning data. (NOTE: This image was created using a Large Language Model. See the Discussion page of the image for details.)]] == Why Data Cleaning Exists == Data as collected is never quite the same thing as data ready for analysis. A respondent skips a question. An interviewer enters "don't know" because that's what was said. A variable that should be numeric gets stored as text because one row has a stray character in it. None of this is anyone's fault, exactly — it's just what happens when real information, gathered from real people, gets forced into a rectangular spreadsheet. The job of this chapter is to close the gap between the data you were handed and the data you can actually trust a <code>mean()</code> or a <code>t.test()</code> to run on. == Loading Data (A Recap, With Options) == You met the basics of this in Chapter 3, but here's the fuller picture, since Chapter 3 focused specifically on the GSS and this chapter's habits apply to any dataset you'll ever load. '''R's Own Format''' If you're lucky, it's possible someone may have already collected and stored the data in R's dataframe format, RDATA. If so, opening the file is very straightforward: <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> load("GSS.RData") </syntaxhighlight> If that is not the case, not to worry. R can open pretty much any data format. '''Base R:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> gss <- read.csv("gss2010.csv") gss <- read.table("gss2010.txt", header = TRUE, sep = ",") </syntaxhighlight> '''dplyr / tidyverse:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(readr) gss <- read_csv("gss2010.csv") </syntaxhighlight> '''haven (this course's default, from the .sav file):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(haven) gss <- read_sav("gss2010.sav") </syntaxhighlight> Three functions, three formats, one goal: a data frame in R's memory that you can start examining. Which one you reach for depends entirely on what format the data arrives in — which, as any working researcher eventually discovers, is not always the format you'd choose. == A Field Guide to Other File Formats == The GSS today is easy to obtain as a clean <code>.csv</code> or <code>.sav</code> file through the Data Explorer. This has not always been true, and it will not always be true of ''every'' dataset you encounter in your research career. Sociologists routinely inherit data from SAS, from Stata, or from decades-old fixed-width <code>.dat</code> files that predate any of the friendlier tools this book has shown you so far — the GSS itself was, for most of its history, distributed exactly this way: a raw ASCII <code>.dat</code> file paired with a separate "syntax" file (for SPSS, SAS, or Stata) that told the software which character positions belonged to which variable. If you ever inherit a dataset from a professor who's been doing this since 1998, this is almost certainly what you'll get. '''Fixed-width <code>.dat</code> files''' store every variable in a fixed set of character columns, with no delimiters between them — the file looks like a wall of digits until you know exactly which positions to read. Both base R and readr can handle this if you know (or can find, usually in an accompanying syntax file) the column widths: <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> # Base R: reading fixed-width data gss_fwf <- read.fwf("gss_extract.dat", widths = c(2, 1, 2, 2), # character-width of each variable col.names = c("AGE", "SEX", "EDUC", "HAPPY")) # readr equivalent library(readr) gss_fwf <- read_fwf("gss_extract.dat", fwf_widths(c(2, 1, 2, 2), col_names = c("AGE", "SEX", "EDUC", "HAPPY"))) </syntaxhighlight> '''SAS files''' (<code>.sas7bdat</code>) and '''Stata files''' (<code>.dta</code>) are both handled by the same haven package you're already using for <code>.sav</code> files — and both carry similar embedded metadata (value labels, sometimes missing-value definitions) that haven will bring along automatically, the same way it does for SPSS files: <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(haven) sas_data <- read_sas("some_dataset.sas7bdat") stata_data <- read_dta("some_dataset.dta") </syntaxhighlight> None of this requires memorizing new concepts — it's the same <code>library() then read_something()</code> pattern you already know, applied to a different file extension. The only genuinely new skill is fixed-width files, since you have to supply column positions the file itself won't tell you (that's what the syntax file, or a coauthor with institutional memory, is for). The lesson worth internalizing: the format a dataset arrives in says nothing about how interesting or usable the data inside it is. Adapt to the format; don't let it decide whether the project is worth doing. Importantly, think of R and RStudio as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Army_knife Swiss Army knife] of datasets: it can handle pretty much anything you throw at it. It is remarkably robust software for data management and analysis. == First Look at a Dataset == Whatever format it arrived in, once it's a data frame in R, the routine is the same: <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> head(gss) # first six rows tail(gss) # last six rows str(gss) # structure: variable names and types summary(gss) # quick numeric summary of every column dim(gss) # rows and columns names(gss) # just the variable names </syntaxhighlight> <code>View(gss)</code> will open a spreadsheet-style viewer in RStudio, which is genuinely useful for a quick visual scan — but use it sparingly on a dataset with thousands of rows. Scrolling through 2,000 respondents by eye is not a data cleaning strategy; it's a way to convince yourself you've checked something you haven't. A useful note here is in order. Some people may have initially been taught to use SPSS for their statistical analyses. SPSS uses a spreadsheet like layout that also allows users to edit individual data points. That is not a best practice for open science-style research. All changes to a dataset should be made with code so they can be replicated. Any researcher should be able to hand their raw data and script files to another researcher and the new researcher can quickly get a clean dataset from the raw data by following the script file. That is good, open science practice (see below). Try not to get into the habit of looking at your data as a spreadsheet or feeling like you need to visually inspect data. You can always retrieve specific information from the dataset without visually inspecting the entire dataset. This is especially true with very large datasets. Hypothetically, let's say you've imported some data, messed around with it, and now there is a problem. Not to worry. You can always remove <code>rm()</code> objects, including dataframes/datasets from the R environment: <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> rm(gss) </syntaxhighlight> == Identifying Problems == Three categories of problems show up in almost every real dataset, GSS included: * '''Missing values''' — represented as <code>NA</code> in R natively, but hiding as ordinary-looking numbers (0, 8, 9, 98, 99) in a freshly loaded GSS CSV file. * '''Values out of expected range''' — an age of 150, a year of education of -3. Rare in a well-curated dataset like the GSS, but worth a sanity check with <code>summary()</code> or <code>range()</code> before you trust anything. * '''Variables stored as the wrong type''' — a categorical variable stored as a number (Chapter 4's whole subject), or occasionally a numeric variable stored as text because of one stray non-numeric entry. Catching these three things, in this order, before you run a single substantive analysis, is most of what separates a careful data analyst from someone who's going to have an uncomfortable conversation with their professor about a mean that turned out to include forty-four "refused to answer" codes. == Handling Missing Data == R represents "no value here" with a special symbol, <code>NA</code>, which behaves differently from any ordinary number — critically, <code>NA</code> is contagious: almost any calculation that touches an <code>NA</code> returns <code>NA</code> right back, on the reasonable logic that R can't know the answer to a question that includes a missing piece. <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> is.na(gss$CONRINC) # TRUE/FALSE for each value: is it missing? sum(is.na(gss$CONRINC)) # how many missing values, total? mean(gss$CONRINC) # if any NAs are present, this returns NA mean(gss$CONRINC, na.rm = TRUE) # this tells R to ignore NAs and compute anyway </syntaxhighlight> <code>na.rm = TRUE</code> is not optional decoration — most summary functions in R (<code>mean()</code>, <code>sd()</code>, <code>sum()</code>, and others) will return a bare <code>NA</code> for the whole calculation if even one value is missing, unless you explicitly tell them to skip missing values first. This will happen to you at least once. It is not a bug; it's R declining to guess. '''Removing rows with missing values, base R:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> gss_complete <- na.omit(gss) # drops any row with ANY missing value gss_no_missing_income <- gss[!is.na(gss$CONRINC), ] # drops rows missing CONRINC specifically </syntaxhighlight> '''Removing rows with missing values, dplyr:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(dplyr) gss_no_missing_income <- gss %>% filter(!is.na(CONRINC)) </syntaxhighlight> Notice that <code>na.omit()</code> is a blunt instrument — it drops a whole respondent for being missing on ''any'' variable in the dataset, which can quietly shrink your sample far more than you intended if your data frame has fifty columns and each respondent is missing at least one of them. Prefer the targeted, variable-specific approach unless you have a good reason not to. == Replacing GSS Missing Codes With NA == If you loaded your data from a plain CSV (rather than a <code>.sav</code> file via haven, which typically handles a meaningful share of this for you automatically, as you saw in Chapter 3), GSS's numeric missing-value codes — 0, 8, 9, 98, 99, depending on the variable — are sitting in your data disguised as ordinary numbers, and you have to tell R which ones to treat as missing. This problem is worst for '''banded, categorical''' GSS variables, where a small integer like 98 or 99 is easy to confuse with a real category code. <code>RINCOME</code> (respondent's personal income, reported in brackets) is a textbook case: '''Base R:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> gss$RINCOME[gss$RINCOME == 99] <- NA </syntaxhighlight> '''dplyr, with <code>na_if()</code> for a single code:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(dplyr) gss <- gss %>% mutate(RINCOME = na_if(RINCOME, 99)) </syntaxhighlight> '''dplyr, with <code>case_when()</code> for multiple codes at once:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> gss <- gss %>% mutate(RINCOME = case_when( RINCOME %in% c(0, 98, 99) ~ NA_real_, TRUE ~ RINCOME )) </syntaxhighlight> '''car recode command''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> gss$RINCOME <- car::recode(gss$RINCOME, '99=NA') </syntaxhighlight> This step is exactly the manual work haven's <code>read_sav()</code> often does for you automatically, based on the <code>.sav</code> file's own embedded metadata — but "often" is doing real work in that sentence. Not every missing code is guaranteed to be flagged in a file's metadata, some datasets you'll work with beyond this course won't be <code>.sav</code> files at all, and understanding what's actually happening under the hood is what lets you catch it when the automatic version doesn't. Learn this the manual way regardless of which import method you used. This is also, incidentally, exactly why this book prefers <code>CONRINC</code> over <code>RINCOME</code> or banded <code>INCOME</code> for continuous-income examples. <code>CONRINC</code> is a derived variable — NORC has already done the work of converting bracketed responses into a single constant-dollar figure — and it generally arrives without this same small-integer sentinel-code problem, since a real income value in the thousands of dollars is never going to be confused with a placeholder like 98 or 99. That doesn't mean <code>CONRINC</code> is automatically free of missing data (respondents who didn't answer the underlying income questions will still show up as missing), only that you're less likely to need the manual sentinel-code detective work above to find it. Always confirm this against the actual codebook rather than assuming — but it's a real, and reasonable, part of why <code>CONRINC</code> is the simpler variable to hand to students. {{Colored box | title = Open Science Corner | background-title-color=#355C7D | title-color=#FFFFFF | background-content-color=#F8B195 | content = Script your cleaning steps. Never clean data by hand in a spreadsheet program and save over the original file — a hand-edited spreadsheet leaves no trace of what you changed or why, and "I'm pretty sure I fixed that one weird row" is not a reproducible research method. Your cleaning script IS part of your research documentation, not a throwaway step before the "real" analysis begins. }} == Subsetting Data == Once your data is clean, you'll frequently want to work with only some of it — certain rows, certain columns, or both. '''Base R bracket notation:''' <code>data[rows, columns]</code>, where leaving either side blank means "keep all of them." <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> under_40 <- gss[gss$AGE < 40, ] # rows: respondents under 40; all columns demo_vars <- gss[, c("AGE", "SEX", "RACE", "EDUC")] # all rows; only these columns </syntaxhighlight> '''Base R subset:''' <code>subset</code> <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> under_40 <- subset(gss, AGE < 40) </syntaxhighlight> '''dplyr:''' <code>filter()</code> for rows, <code>select()</code> for columns. <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(dplyr) under_40 <- gss %>% filter(AGE < 40) demo_vars <- gss %>% select(AGE, SEX, RACE, EDUC) </syntaxhighlight> The dplyr versions read almost like English sentences, which is exactly the readability advantage this book keeps pointing to — "filter to rows where age is under 40" versus a bracket with a comma in a specific position that means something only because you've memorized the convention. == Saving a Cleaned Dataset == Once you've cleaned a dataset, save it — as its own file, distinct from the raw original, so you (and anyone checking your work) can always see exactly what the data looked like before and after your changes. <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> write.csv(gss, "gss2010_cleaned.csv", row.names = FALSE) save(gss, file = "gss2010_cleaned.RData") </syntaxhighlight> <code>write.csv()</code> produces a plain-text file readable by essentially any software on Earth; <code>save()</code> produces an R-specific <code>.RData</code> file that preserves R object types exactly (including any factors or haven-labelled columns) but requires R to open. Save both if storage space isn't a concern — the CSV for portability, the RData for fidelity. == Chapter Summary == Data cleaning closes the gap between data as collected and data as analyzable, and it follows a predictable routine: load the data (from whatever format it happens to arrive in — CSV, SPSS, SAS, Stata, or an old-school fixed-width file), take a careful first look with <code>head()</code>, <code>str()</code>, <code>summary()</code>, and <code>names()</code>, identify missing values and out-of-range or mistyped variables, and handle missing data explicitly — either by letting R's native <code>NA</code> do its job with <code>na.rm = TRUE</code>, or by manually recoding GSS's numeric missing codes (0, 8, 9, 98, 99) to real <code>NA</code> values when they haven't already been handled by your import method. From there, <code>select()</code>/<code>filter()</code> (or their base R bracket equivalents) let you subset to exactly the rows and columns your analysis needs, and saving a distinct cleaned file preserves an honest record of what changed. None of this is the exciting part of the semester. All of it is the part that determines whether the exciting part can be trusted. == Practice Examples == === Example 1: Find and Replace Missing Codes in RINCOME (and Compare to CONRINC) === '''The Research Question:''' What do the raw values of <code>RINCOME</code> look like, which ones need to be treated as missing before any analysis, and how does this compare to the continuous <code>CONRINC</code> variable? '''The Code (base R):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> table(gss$RINCOME) # if you imported the data via haven, try this instead: table(gss$RINCOME, useNA = "ifany") # that will show you missing cases that have been labeled "NA" by the haven package gss$RINCOME[gss$RINCOME %in% c(0, 98, 99)] <- NA sum(is.na(gss$CONRINC)) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Code (dplyr):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(dplyr) gss %>% count(RINCOME) gss <- gss %>% mutate(RINCOME = case_when( RINCOME %in% c(0, 98, 99) ~ NA_real_, TRUE ~ RINCOME )) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> 1 2 3 ... 0 98 99 120 340 410 ... 8 22 15 [1] 30 # sum(is.na(gss$CONRINC)) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Interpretation:''' The frequency table for <code>RINCOME</code> reveals a handful of respondents coded 0, 98, or 99 — "not applicable," "don't know," and "refused," respectively, none of which describe an actual income bracket. Recoding them to <code>NA</code> removes them from any future calculation without deleting the respondents' other answers; that respondent's <code>AGE</code> or <code>HAPPY</code> response is still perfectly usable, only their income is now honestly marked as unknown rather than silently treated as the lowest bracket (which would be a very different, and very wrong, claim). <code>CONRINC</code>, by contrast, simply shows 30 missing values with no sentinel-code detective work required — a direct illustration of why this book uses it as the default continuous income variable from here forward. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Compute <code>mean(gss$RINCOME, na.rm = TRUE)</code> before and after this recode. How much does the recoded mean change? Then compute <code>mean(gss$CONRINC, na.rm = TRUE)</code> and compare — does the "simpler" variable tell a similar story? === Example 2: Subset to Respondents Under 40 === '''The Research Question:''' How does the demographic profile of a data subset — say, respondents under 40 — compare to the full sample? Start by getting the total number of rows in the GSS dataset: '''Get Number of Rows:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> nrow(gss) </syntaxhighlight> You should get a result like: <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> [1] 2044 </syntaxhighlight> Now, let's subset the dataset: '''The Code (base R):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r">under_40 <- gss[gss$AGE < 40, ] nrow(under_40)</syntaxhighlight> '''The Code (dplyr):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(dplyr) under_40 <- gss %>% filter(AGE < 40) nrow(under_40) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> [1] 1058 </syntaxhighlight> '''The Interpretation:''' Both approaches produce an identical subset — 1058 of the original respondents are under 40 — using two different but equally valid syntaxes. Subsetting like this is the first step toward almost every comparative analysis in this book: you'll do exactly this kind of filtering before running a t-test comparing two groups in Chapter 13, or an ANOVA comparing several in Chapter 15. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Create a second subset of respondents 40 and older, and compare the two groups' average <code>EDUC</code> using nothing more than two calls to <code>mean(..., na.rm = TRUE)</code>. Resist the urge to conclude anything definitive about whether the difference is "real" — that question is exactly what Chapter 13 will teach you to answer properly. === Example 3: Select Variables and Save a Cleaned Dataset === '''The Research Question:''' How do you produce a smaller, cleaned working file containing only the variables relevant to a specific analysis? '''The Code (base R):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> gss_working <- gss[, c("AGE", "SEX", "EDUC", "CONRINC", "HAPPY")] write.csv(gss_working, "gss2010_working.csv", row.names = FALSE) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Code (dplyr):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(dplyr) gss_working <- gss %>% select(AGE, SEX, EDUC, CONRINC, HAPPY) write.csv(gss_working, "gss2010_working.csv", row.names = FALSE) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output:''' A new file, <code>gss2010_working.csv</code>, appears in your project folder, containing only the five selected columns for every respondent. '''The Interpretation:''' There's no statistical output here — the "result" is a file on disk, and that's the point. Keeping a lean, purpose-built working dataset alongside (never instead of) your full raw file is good practice: it's faster to work with, it's clearer about what a given analysis actually used, and it can be shared or archived (see this chapter's Open Science Corner) without dragging along every variable you didn't end up needing. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Open <code>gss2010_working.csv</code> in a plain text editor or spreadsheet program outside of R. Does it look the way you expected? What would happen if you accidentally overwrote your original <code>gss2010.csv</code> with this smaller file by giving it the same name? === Example 4: Reading a Fixed-Width or Foreign-Format File === '''The Task:''' Practice reading a dataset from a format other than CSV or <code>.sav</code> — the kind of file you'll likely encounter with older or externally supplied data. '''The Code:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> # A hypothetical fixed-width extract with AGE (2 chars), SEX (1 char), EDUC (2 chars) practice_data <- read.fwf("practice_extract.dat", widths = c(2, 1, 2), col.names = c("AGE", "SEX", "EDUC")) str(practice_data) # A hypothetical Stata file from a collaborator library(haven) stata_practice <- read_dta("collaborator_data.dta") str(stata_practice) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output:''' A data frame with the specified columns, correctly split from the fixed-width source; for the Stata example, a tibble with haven-labelled columns similar to what you saw from <code>read_sav()</code> in Chapter 3. '''The Interpretation:''' The mechanics barely change across formats — you're still ending up with a rectangular data frame you already know how to explore and clean. The only real new skill is fixed-width files, where you have to supply the column boundaries yourself rather than relying on a delimiter or embedded structure. This is a real, not hypothetical, skill: sociology students who go on to work with historical datasets, restricted-use files, or data inherited from a retiring colleague's SAS or Stata scripts will hit this eventually, often with far less friendly documentation than this textbook provides. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Find a publicly available dataset (a government statistical agency is a good bet) that is distributed as a <code>.dat</code> file with a separate layout/syntax file. Without necessarily downloading the full thing, look at the syntax file and identify what information you'd need to extract from it to build the <code>widths</code> and <code>col.names</code> arguments for <code>read.fwf()</code>. == References == <references/> {{BookCat}} mmnhjl68mn169qwwzrw03rxsh0gd1r6 0 485148 4681399 4671345 2026-11-10T16:02:05Z Rcragun 41177 /* Introduction to ggplot2 */ added AI information 4681399 wikitext text/x-wiki = Chapter 7: Frequency Distributions and Visualizing Data = Six chapters in, and this is the first one that asks you to actually describe something about the social world using a real statistic. Everything before this was preparation — R, the GSS, variable types, cleaning, recoding. All of it existed to get you to this moment: looking at a distribution of real answers from real people and saying something true about the pattern in front of you. We start with the simplest possible question you can ask about a variable: what values does it take, and how often does each one show up? == What a Frequency Distribution Is == A '''frequency distribution''' is just a systematic count: for every possible value (or range of values) a variable can take, how many respondents fall into it. It sounds almost too basic to deserve a full chapter, and yet a well-constructed frequency distribution is often the single most informative thing you can produce about a variable — more informative, in some cases, than the fancier statistics later chapters will teach you, because it shows you the whole shape of the data at once rather than compressing it into a single number. == Frequency Tables == '''Base R:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> table(gss$HAPPY) # raw counts prop.table(table(gss$HAPPY)) # proportions prop.table(table(gss$HAPPY)) * 100 # percentages </syntaxhighlight> '''dplyr:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(dplyr) gss %>% count(HAPPY) %>% mutate(proportion = n / sum(n), percent = proportion * 100) </syntaxhighlight> The dplyr version does more work up front but hands you back a proper data frame — proportions and percentages included as actual columns you can sort, filter, or plot directly — rather than the base R version's separate objects you'd need to combine yourself. Neither is wrong; the dplyr version just anticipates that you'll usually want to do something further with these numbers. == Bar Charts for Categorical Variables == '''Base R:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> barplot(table(gss$RELIG), main = "Religious Affiliation", xlab = "Religion", ylab = "Frequency") </syntaxhighlight> [[File:Barchart of Religious Affiliation - Base R.jpg|alt=A bar chart of religious affiliation created using base R.|center|thumb|800x800px|A simple bar chart of religious affiliation created using base R.]] '''ggplot2:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r">library(ggplot2) ggplot(gss, aes(x = RELIG)) + geom_bar() + labs(title = "Religious Affiliation", x = "Religion", y = "Frequency")</syntaxhighlight> [[File:Bar Chart of Religious Affiliation - ggplot2.jpg|alt=A simple bar chart of religious affiliation created using the package ggplot2.|center|thumb|800x800px|A simple bar chart of religious affiliation created using the package ggplot2.]] == Introduction to ggplot2 == The <code>ggplot2</code><ref>Wickham, H. (2016). ''ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis'' (2nd ed.). Springer-Verlag.</ref> syntax looks bizarre the first time you see it, and this book isn't going to pretend otherwise. You build a plot in layers, connected with a <code>+</code> sign that behaves nothing like arithmetic addition — a design choice that made perfect sense to exactly one person, in roughly 2005, and has mildly confused everyone else ever since. And yet it works, and once it clicks, it's a genuinely elegant way to think about visualization: you're not calling one big function with forty arguments, you're stacking simple, composable layers on top of each other. The core grammar, which the package's name is actually referencing ("grammar of graphics"): * <code>ggplot(data, aes(...))</code> — start a plot, and declare which variables map to which visual properties (x-axis, y-axis, color, and so on) inside <code>aes()</code> (short for "aesthetics"). * <code>geom_*()</code> — add a geometric layer: <code>geom_bar()</code> for bars, <code>geom_histogram()</code> for histograms, <code>geom_point()</code> for scatterplots (Chapter 16), and so on. * <code>labs()</code> — add titles and axis labels. * <code>theme_*()</code> — adjust the plot's overall visual style. You do not need to master ggplot2 in this chapter, or possibly ever — you need enough of it to produce a clean, readable plot, which the examples in this book will keep demonstrating throughout. Fluency comes from repetition, not from reading one explanation closely.

Instead of one bar per category, you get one bar per range of values (a "bin"), and the choice of bin width genuinely changes what the plot shows you. Too wide, and you flatten out real structure in the data (a bimodal distribution can disappear entirely into a single wide hump). Too narrow, and you get a jagged, noisy mess that emphasizes sampling variation over the underlying pattern. There's no single correct bin width; try a few and see what reveals the shape most honestly.

Is it roughly '''symmetric''' (the two halves mirror each other), '''[[wikipedia:Skewness|skewed right]]''' or positive skew (a long tail stretching toward higher values, with most cases bunched at the lower end), or '''[[wikipedia:Skewness|skewed left]]''' or negative skew (the mirror image — a long tail toward lower values)? * '''[[wikipedia:Mode_(statistics)|Modality]].''' Does the distribution have one clear peak ('''unimodal'''), two ('''bimodal'''), or more? A bimodal distribution is often a clue that you're actually looking at two different subgroups blended together — worth investigating rather than just describing. * '''[[wikipedia:Outlier|Outliers]].''' Individual values sitting unusually far from the rest of the distribution — not automatically errors, but always worth a second look. == Skewness in Social Data: The Case of Income == If you want to see real, dramatic right-skew, look no further than income. Most people earn a moderate amount, a shrinking number earn quite a lot, and a very small number earn an amount that makes the x-axis of a histogram nearly useless — everyone else's bar gets flattened into invisibility by the scale required to fit in the tail. This is the mathematical face of wealth inequality, and it's worth sitting with: the distribution's shape is not just a technical detail about which statistic to use (a preview of Chapter 8, where this exact fact determines whether you should trust the mean). It ''is'', in a very real sense, the sociological finding. [[File:Right or Positive Skew Illustration with Income.png|alt=A skewed distribution curve with regular people on the left and rich people on the right.|center|thumb|800x800px]] The GSS's continuous income measure, <code>CONRINC</code> (respondent income in constant dollars — see Chapter 3), makes this easy to see directly: <syntaxhighlight lang="r">ggplot(GSS2010, aes(x = CONINC)) + geom_histogram(binwidth = 2000) + labs(title = "Distribution of Respondent Income (CONRINC)", x = "Income", y = "Frequency")</syntaxhighlight> [[File:Skewed Distribution - CONRINC.jpg|alt=A histogram illustrated how skewed income is.|center|thumb|800x800px|This histogram illustrates how skewed income is in the 2010 GSS.]] == Chapter Summary == A frequency distribution counts how often each value of a variable occurs, and it's often the single most informative first look you can take at any variable. Categorical variables are best visualized with bar charts (<code>barplot()</code> in base R, <code>geom_bar()</code> in ggplot2); continuous variables with histograms (<code>hist()</code> or <code>geom_histogram()</code>), where the choice of bin width meaningfully affects what pattern you can see. ggplot2's layered <code>+</code> syntax is unusual on first contact but becomes second nature with repetition, and you only need enough of it to produce clean, readable plots — not mastery. Distributions are described by shape (symmetric, skewed left or right), modality (how many peaks), and outliers. Income is the textbook example of severe right-skew in social data, and that skew isn't a nuisance to work around — it's a genuine finding about inequality that the very next chapter will show you how to properly summarize. {{Colored box | title = Open Science Corner | background-title-color=#355C7D | title-color=#FFFFFF | background-content-color=#F8B195 | content = Save your plots as files with <code>ggsave()</code>, as part of your script, rather than screenshotting whatever appears in RStudio's Plots pane.

'''The Interpretation:''' Age distributions in general-population surveys like the GSS are rarely perfectly symmetric — they tend to show a mild right skew, reflecting declining survival and participation rates at the oldest ages relative to the broad middle of adulthood. This is a good habit to build now: before touching a formal statistic, describe the shape you're looking at in plain language. It anchors everything that follows in something you actually observed rather than something you assumed. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Try three different values for <code>binwidth</code> (or <code>breaks</code> in base R) — one very small, one very large, one in between.

A huge share of the questions sociologists actually ask don't involve means at all — they involve categories. Is political party affiliation related to religious attendance? Is race associated with self-reported happiness? These are questions about whether two categorical variables move together, and t-tests have nothing to say about them. This chapter introduces the tool built specifically for this situation, and it happens to be one of the more transparent, satisfying pieces of logic in the entire book. == When to Use Chi-Square == The '''chi-square test of independence'''<ref>Pearson, K. (1900). On the criterion that a given system of deviations from the probable in the case of a correlated system of variables is such that it can be reasonably supposed to have arisen from random sampling. ''Philosophical Magazine, Series 5'', 50(302), 157–175.</ref> applies when you have two categorical variables and want to know whether they're related — whether knowing a respondent's category on one variable tells you anything about their likely category on the other. If sex and political party identification are truly independent, knowing someone's sex should tell you nothing about their party — the party breakdown among men should look statistically like the party breakdown among women. Chi-square tests exactly that proposition. == The Logic of the Test == The logic is genuinely transparent, more so than most inferential tests: build a table of observed frequencies (how many respondents actually fall into each combination of categories), compare it to the table of expected frequencies you'd predict if the two variables were completely independent, and measure how far apart the two tables are. Big gap → the variables are probably related. Small gap → the data look about like what independence would predict. The chi-square statistic itself formalizes "how far apart" by summing, across every cell in the table, the squared difference between observed and expected counts, divided by the expected count: : <math>\chi^2 = \sum \frac{(O_i - E_i)^2}{E_i}</math> Note that the formula includes squaring for the same reason it showed up in Chapter 9's variance formula: it keeps positive and negative deviations from canceling out. Degrees of freedom for this test are calculated somewhat differently than t-tests: (number of rows − 1) × (number of columns − 1). The same Sudoku-grid logic from [[Statistics for Sociologists/Chapter 9: Measures of Variability|Chapter 9]] applies here at the scale of a whole table: once you know the row totals, the column totals, and all but the last row and column of individual cells, every remaining cell is completely determined, with no freedom left to vary. A larger chi-square statistic relative to its degrees of freedom translates into a smaller p-value. One real assumption to check: the test's math starts to break down when expected cell counts are too small — a common guideline is that no more than 20% of cells should have an expected count under 5, and none should be under 1. With a GSS-sized sample this is rarely a problem for two variables with a modest number of categories each, but it becomes a real concern fast if you're cross-tabulating two variables with many categories, spreading a few thousand respondents thin across dozens of cells. When it happens, collapsing categories (Chapter 6's recoding skills, put to direct use here) is usually the fix. == Cross-Tabulation in R == '''Base R:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> tab <- table(gss$SEX, gss$PARTYID) tab chisq.test(tab) </syntaxhighlight> '''dplyr + janitor:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(dplyr) library(janitor) gss %>% tabyl(SEX, PARTYID) %>% adorn_percentages() %>% adorn_pct_formatting() chisq.test(table(gss$SEX, gss$PARTYID)) </syntaxhighlight> <code>tabyl()</code> plus the <code>adorn_*()</code> family produces a genuinely readable, publication-adjacent cross-tab with percentages baked in — a real step up from base R's bare counts when you're building a table for an actual write-up. '''gmodels:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(gmodels) CrossTable(GSS2010$SEX, GSS2010$PARTYID, expected=TRUE) </syntaxhighlight> <code>gmodels</code> provides a cross-tabulation table and a calculation of the chi-square statistic in one simple command.

'''sjPlot:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(sjPlot) tab_xtab(GSS2010$SEX, GSS2010$PARTYID, show.col.prc=TRUE) </syntaxhighlight> <code>sjPlot</code> provides a very clean cross-tabulation table along with the chi-square calculation. <code>gmodels</code> provides more robust information, but the formatting is not as clean or easy to interpret as the output from <code>sjPlot</code>. == Effect Size: Cramér's V == Just as Chapter 13 paired every t-test with Cohen's d, every chi-square test in this book gets paired with '''Cramér's V'''<ref>Cramér, H. (1946). ''Mathematical Methods of Statistics''. Princeton University Press.</ref> — a measure, bounded between 0 and 1, of how strongly two categorical variables are associated, independent of sample size. A chi-square test can be statistically significant with an association too weak to matter (the same GSS-sample-size problem from Chapter 13, showing up again here); Cramér's V is how you find out whether it's worth mentioning outside a statistics class. <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(effectsize) cramers_v(table(gss$SEX, gss$PARTYID)) </syntaxhighlight> Rough interpretation benchmarks (which, like Cohen's benchmarks in Chapter 13, depend somewhat on the number of categories involved and should be treated as guides, not laws): around 0.1 is a small association, around 0.3 is medium, and 0.5 or above is large. == Visualizing Categorical Relationships == <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(ggplot2) ggplot(gss, aes(x = factor(PARTYID), fill = factor(SEX))) + geom_bar(position = "dodge") + labs(title = "Party Identification by Sex", x = "Party ID", y = "Count", fill = "Sex") </syntaxhighlight> A '''grouped bar chart''' (bars for each category of one variable, clustered and colored by the other) makes a categorical association visible at a glance in a way a table of percentages, however well-formatted, usually doesn't. <!-- FIGURE: A real grouped bar chart of PARTYID by SEX (or RACE by HAPPY, matching Example 2 below) from the 2010 GSS. Author to generate. --> == Reporting Results == Chi-square is deeply satisfying because the logic is so transparent: you are, quite literally, asking "how far are the observed counts from what we'd expect if there were no relationship at all?" A good sociological example makes this concrete — is political party affiliation associated with religious attendance? (Yes. Dramatically.) That's not exactly a shocking finding, and that's fine — sometimes a test just confirms what you already strongly suspected, and confirmation is still information. A complete write-up follows the same template Chapter 13 established, adapted for chi-square's specific statistics: <blockquote> A chi-square test of independence found a significant association between sex and political party identification, χ²(6, ''N'' = 2,020) = 14.3, ''p'' = .026, Cramér's ''V'' = 0.08. Although statistically significant, the association was weak by conventional benchmarks, suggesting sex accounts for only a small part of the variation in party identification in this sample. </blockquote> == Chapter Summary == The chi-square test of independence evaluates whether two categorical variables are related by comparing observed cell counts to the counts you'd expect under complete independence — a large gap between observed and expected suggests a real relationship. Degrees of freedom depend on the table's dimensions, and the test requires reasonably large expected cell counts to behave well, which can require collapsing sparse categories first. <code>chisq.test()</code> in base R and <code>tabyl()</code> from janitor (paired with dplyr) both build the necessary cross-tabs, and Cramér's V — required alongside every chi-square result in this book, exactly like Cohen's d for t-tests — tells you whether a statistically significant association is actually strong enough to matter. Grouped bar charts make categorical associations visually obvious in a way raw percentage tables rarely do. == Practice Examples == === Example 1: Sex and Party Identification === '''The Research Question:''' Is political party identification associated with sex in this sample, and how strong is that association? '''The Code (base R):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> tab <- table(gss$SEX, gss$PARTYID) chisq.test(tab) library(effectsize) cramers_v(tab) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Code (dplyr + janitor):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(dplyr) library(janitor) gss %>% tabyl(SEX, PARTYID) %>% adorn_percentages("row") %>% adorn_pct_formatting() </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> Pearson's Chi-squared test data: tab X-squared = 14.3, df = 6, p-value = 0.0264 Cramer's V = 0.08 [95% CI: 0.02, 0.14] </syntaxhighlight> '''The Interpretation:''' The association is statistically significant (p = .026) but weak (V = 0.08) — a pattern that should feel familiar after Chapter 13's discussion of GSS-sized samples detecting small effects reliably. Sex tells you a little something about party identification in this sample, but not very much; most of the variation in party ID has nothing to do with sex at all. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Collapse <code>PARTYID</code> into three broader categories (Democrat, Independent, Republican) using Chapter 6's recoding skills, and rerun the test. Does collapsing categories change the substantive conclusion, the effect size, or both? === Example 2: Race and Happiness === '''The Research Question:''' Is race associated with self-reported happiness in this sample? '''The Code:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> tab2 <- table(gss$RACE, gss$HAPPY) chisq.test(tab2) library(effectsize) cramers_v(tab2) library(ggplot2) ggplot(gss, aes(x = factor(RACE), fill = factor(HAPPY))) + geom_bar(position = "fill") + labs(title = "Happiness by Race", x = "Race", y = "Proportion", fill = "Happiness") </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> X-squared = 22.6, df = 4, p-value = 0.0002 Cramer's V = 0.11 [95% CI: 0.06, 0.16] </syntaxhighlight> '''The Interpretation:''' A statistically significant association (p < .001) with a small-to-moderate effect size (V = 0.11) — stronger evidence of a real relationship than Example 1, though still modest in size. The <code>geom_bar(position = "fill")</code> version of the plot is worth noting specifically: it converts each racial group's bar to 100% height and shows the ''proportion'' falling into each happiness category, which makes a compositional comparison across groups of different sizes much easier to read than raw counts would. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' This association is significant and larger than Example 1's — but chi-square alone can't tell you anything about ''why''. What third variables (income, discrimination, health, region) might plausibly explain part of this association? How would you begin to investigate that with the tools from this book so far? === Example 3: Write-Up === '''The Research Question:''' How should the Example 2 result be written up for a sociology paper? '''The Code:''' (No new code — translating Example 2's output into prose.) '''The Output:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="text"> A chi-square test of independence found a significant association between race and self-reported happiness, chi-squared(4, N = 2,020) = 22.6, p < .001, Cramer's V = 0.11. The association, while statistically significant and somewhat stronger than a comparable test of sex and party identification, remained modest in magnitude, indicating that race alone accounts for a relatively small share of the variation in happiness in this sample. </syntaxhighlight> '''The Interpretation:''' This write-up does something worth flagging explicitly: it contextualizes the effect size by comparing it to another result from earlier in the chapter, rather than reporting the number in isolation. Readers rarely have a strong independent intuition for what "V = 0.11" means; giving them a comparison point (weaker than X, stronger than Y) often communicates more than the bare statistic. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Find a published sociology article that reports a chi-square test (a quick search for "chi-square" plus a topic you're interested in, in a database like Google Scholar, will turn up plenty).

A good sociological example makes this concrete — is political party affiliation associated with religious attendance? (Yes. Dramatically.) That's not exactly a shocking finding, and that's fine — sometimes a test just confirms what you already strongly suspected, and confirmation is still information. A complete write-up follows the same template Chapter 13 established, adapted for chi-square's specific statistics: <blockquote> A chi-square test of independence found a significant association between sex and political party identification, χ²(6, ''N'' = 2,020) = 14.3, ''p'' = .026, Cramér's ''V'' = 0.08. Although statistically significant, the association was weak by conventional benchmarks, suggesting sex accounts for only a small part of the variation in party identification in this sample. </blockquote> == Chapter Summary == The chi-square test of independence evaluates whether two categorical variables are related by comparing observed cell counts to the counts you'd expect under complete independence — a large gap between observed and expected suggests a real relationship. Degrees of freedom depend on the table's dimensions, and the test requires reasonably large expected cell counts to behave well, which can require collapsing sparse categories first. <code>chisq.test()</code> in base R and <code>tabyl()</code> from janitor (paired with dplyr) both build the necessary cross-tabs, and Cramér's V — required alongside every chi-square result in this book, exactly like Cohen's d for t-tests — tells you whether a statistically significant association is actually strong enough to matter. Grouped bar charts make categorical associations visually obvious in a way raw percentage tables rarely do. == Practice Examples == === Example 1: Sex and Party Identification === '''The Research Question:''' Is political party identification associated with sex in this sample, and how strong is that association?

'''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Collapse <code>PARTYID</code> into three broader categories (Democrat, Independent, Republican) using Chapter 6's recoding skills, and rerun the test. Does collapsing categories change the substantive conclusion, the effect size, or both? === Example 2: Race and Happiness === '''The Research Question:''' Is race associated with self-reported happiness in this sample?

'''Follow-Up Challenge:''' This association is significant and larger than Example 1's — but chi-square alone can't tell you anything about ''why''.

A huge share of the questions sociologists actually ask don't involve means at all — they involve categories. Is political party affiliation related to religious attendance? Is race associated with self-reported happiness? These are questions about whether two categorical variables move together, and t-tests have nothing to say about them. This chapter introduces the tool built specifically for this situation, and it happens to be one of the more transparent, satisfying pieces of logic in the entire book. == When to Use Chi-Square == The '''chi-square test of independence'''<ref>Pearson, K. (1900). On the criterion that a given system of deviations from the probable in the case of a correlated system of variables is such that it can be reasonably supposed to have arisen from random sampling. ''Philosophical Magazine, Series 5'', 50(302), 157–175.</ref> applies when you have two categorical variables and want to know whether they're related — whether knowing a respondent's category on one variable tells you anything about their likely category on the other. If sex and political party identification are truly independent, knowing someone's sex should tell you nothing about their party — the party breakdown among men should look statistically like the party breakdown among women. Chi-square tests exactly that proposition. == The Logic of the Test == The logic is genuinely transparent, more so than most inferential tests: build a table of observed frequencies (how many respondents actually fall into each combination of categories), compare it to the table of expected frequencies you'd predict if the two variables were completely independent, and measure how far apart the two tables are. Big gap → the variables are probably related. Small gap → the data look about like what independence would predict. The chi-square statistic itself formalizes "how far apart" by summing, across every cell in the table, the squared difference between observed and expected counts, divided by the expected count: : <math>\chi^2 = \sum \frac{(O_i - E_i)^2}{E_i}</math> Note that the formula includes squaring for the same reason it showed up in Chapter 9's variance formula: it keeps positive and negative deviations from canceling out. Degrees of freedom for this test are calculated somewhat differently than t-tests: (number of rows − 1) × (number of columns − 1). The same Sudoku-grid logic from [[Statistics for Sociologists/Chapter 9: Measures of Variability|Chapter 9]] applies here at the scale of a whole table: once you know the row totals, the column totals, and all but the last row and column of individual cells, every remaining cell is completely determined, with no freedom left to vary. A larger chi-square statistic relative to its degrees of freedom translates into a smaller p-value. One real assumption to check: the test's math starts to break down when expected cell counts are too small — a common guideline is that no more than 20% of cells should have an expected count under 5, and none should be under 1. With a GSS-sized sample this is rarely a problem for two variables with a modest number of categories each, but it becomes a real concern fast if you're cross-tabulating two variables with many categories, spreading a few thousand respondents thin across dozens of cells. When it happens, collapsing categories (Chapter 6's recoding skills, put to direct use here) is usually the fix. == Cross-Tabulation in R == '''Base R:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> tab <- table(GSS2010$SEX, GSS2010$PARTYID) tab chisq.test(tab) </syntaxhighlight> '''dplyr + janitor:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(dplyr) library(janitor) GSS2010 %>% tabyl(SEX, PARTYID) %>% adorn_percentages() %>% adorn_pct_formatting() chisq.test(table(GSS2010$SEX, GSS2010$PARTYID)) </syntaxhighlight> <code>tabyl()</code> plus the <code>adorn_*()</code> family produces a genuinely readable, publication-adjacent cross-tab with percentages baked in — a real step up from base R's bare counts when you're building a table for an actual write-up.

A complete write-up follows the same template Chapter 13 established, adapted for chi-square's specific statistics: <blockquote> A chi-square test of independence found a significant association between sex and political party identification, χ²(7, ''N'' = 2,028) = 41.64, ''p'' < .001, Cramér's ''V'' = 0.143. Although statistically significant, the association was weak by conventional benchmarks, suggesting sex accounts for only a small part of the variation in party identification in this sample. </blockquote> == Chapter Summary == The chi-square test of independence evaluates whether two categorical variables are related by comparing observed cell counts to the counts you'd expect under complete independence — a large gap between observed and expected suggests a real relationship. Degrees of freedom depend on the table's dimensions, and the test requires reasonably large expected cell counts to behave well, which can require collapsing sparse categories first. <code>chisq.test()</code> in base R, <code>CrossTable()</code> in gmodels, <code>tab_xtab()</code> in sjPlot, and <code>tabyl()</code> from janitor (paired with dplyr) build the necessary cross-tabs, and Cramér's V — required alongside every chi-square result in this book, exactly like Cohen's d for t-tests — tells you whether a statistically significant association is actually strong enough to matter. Grouped bar charts make categorical associations visually obvious in a way raw percentage tables rarely do. == Practice Examples == === Example 1: Sex and Party Identification === '''The Research Question:''' Is political party identification associated with sex in this sample, and how strong is that association? '''The Code (base R):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> tab <- table(GSS2010$SEX, GSS2010$PARTYID) chisq.test(tab) library(effectsize) cramers_v(tab) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Code (sjPlot):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(sjPlot) tab_xtab(GSS2010$PARTYID, GSS2010$SEX, show.col.prc = TRUE) </syntaxhighlight> '''The Code (dplyr + janitor):''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> library(dplyr) library(janitor) gss %>% tabyl(SEX, PARTYID) %>% adorn_percentages("row") %>% adorn_pct_formatting() </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> Pearson's Chi-squared test data: tab X-squared = 41.64, df = 7, p-value < 0.001 Cramer's V = 0.13 [95% CI: 0.07, 1.00] </syntaxhighlight> '''The Interpretation:''' The association is statistically significant (p < .000) but weak (V = 0.13) — a pattern that should feel familiar after Chapter 13's discussion of GSS-sized samples detecting small effects reliably. Sex tells you a little something about party identification in this sample, but not very much; most of the variation in party ID has nothing to do with sex at all. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Collapse <code>PARTYID</code> into three broader categories (Democrat, Independent, Republican) using Chapter 6's recoding skills, and rerun the test. Does collapsing categories change the substantive conclusion, the effect size, or both? === Example 2: Race and Happiness === '''The Research Question:''' Is race associated with self-reported happiness in this sample? '''The Code:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> tab2 <- table(GSS2010$RACE, GSS2010$HAPPY) chisq.test(tab2) library(effectsize) cramers_v(tab2) library(ggplot2) ggplot(GSS2010, aes(x = factor(RACE), fill = factor(HAPPY))) + geom_bar(position = "fill") + labs(title = "Happiness by Race", x = "Race", y = "Proportion", fill = "Happiness") </syntaxhighlight> '''The Output:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="r"> X-squared = 18.97, df = 4, p-value = 0.0008 Cramer's V = 0.06 [95% CI: 0.02, 1.00] </syntaxhighlight> '''The Interpretation:''' A statistically significant association (p < .001) with a negligible effect size (V = 0.06). The <code>geom_bar(position = "fill")</code> version of the plot is worth noting specifically: it converts each racial group's bar to 100% height and shows the ''proportion'' falling into each happiness category, which makes a compositional comparison across groups of different sizes much easier to read than raw counts would. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' This association is significant but smaller than Example 1's. Chi-square alone can't tell you anything about ''why''. What third variables (income, discrimination, health, region) might plausibly explain part of this association? How would you begin to investigate that with the tools from this book so far? === Example 3: Write-Up === '''The Research Question:''' How should the Example 2 result be written up for a sociology paper? '''The Code:''' (No new code — translating Example 2's output into prose.) '''The Output:''' <syntaxhighlight lang="text"> A chi-square test of independence found a significant association between race and self-reported happiness, chi-squared(4, N = 2,039) = 18.97, p < .001, Cramer's V = 0.068. The association, while statistically significant, is so small that it falls in the negligible range, indicating that race alone accounts for a meaningless share of the variation in happiness in this sample. The strength of this relationship is smaller than the relationship between sex and political party affiliation. </syntaxhighlight> '''The Interpretation:''' This write-up does something worth flagging explicitly: it contextualizes the effect size by comparing it to another result from earlier in the chapter, rather than reporting the number in isolation. Readers rarely have a strong independent intuition for what "V = 0.068" means; giving them a comparison point (weaker than X, stronger than Y) often communicates more than the bare statistic. '''Follow-Up Challenge:''' Find a published sociology article that reports a chi-square test (a quick search for "chi-square" plus a topic you're interested in, in a database like Google Scholar, will turn up plenty). Does it report an effect size alongside the p-value? If not, what does that omission cost the reader? == References == <references/> {{BookCat}} nq4pdfrz4uevcc83u0sm12nsuh17c6p 0 485506 4681521 4681240 2026-11-10T22:17:02Z Idavidmiller 3577687 /* Side Affects of Argument Assignments */ Work in progress. Saving Changes. 4681521 wikitext text/x-wiki =Maxima Programming= Although Maxima is not a general-purpose programming language, Maxima as a CAS includes among the built-in ingredients a relatively complete set of programming expressions that are useful for the intended context. Many of the code examples of this section are intended to be illustrative of technical details relevant to Maxima programming as their purpose, and consequently are intentionally elementary in character. Learning any sort of programming language, including Maxima programming expressions, is a subjective process. In any case, it is essential to have enough technical know-how specific to the programming language in order to begin the learning process, even in cases where much positive transfer from other programming experience is involved. Much can be accomplished mathematically using Maxima without having to resort to in-depth knowledge and proficiency in the technical details of Maxima programming expressions. However, Maxima programming expressions are frequently essential for the purpose of defining functions, both in the programming sense of the term, but also more relevantly, for the mathematical sense. For that reason alone, familiarity and sufficient proficiency with Maxima programming expressions should be given some attention. One way to begin the learning process is to become familiar with enough of the programming essentials to accomplish independent efforts toward accomplishing some specific programming goal of interest. The other way is to study the many available programming expressions of others. This section is intended to provide the essentials toward learning by whatever means are chosen. The following table shows some built-in ingredients related to Maxima programming expressions: {| class="wikitable" |+Maxima Programming Category |if |unless |errcatch |prederror |- |block |for |error |return |- |catch |from |warning |throw |- |local |thru |errormsg |sstatus |- |garbage_collect |step |errormsg |status |- |do |next |go | |- |while |in | | |} Some of these programming expression ingredients can also be considered as belonging to one or more other categories than the Programming category. === Block Expressions === Arguably, the first expressions to consider in the context of Maxima programming are '''''block''''' expressions. All <code>block</code> expressions as programming ingredients come in two flavors: * <code>( expr₁, expr₂,…, expr_n )</code> * <code>block ([v₁,v_2,…,v_m], expr₁, expr₂,…, expr_n)</code> The first form of a <code>block</code> expression is equivalent to the second form, but without the first list argument: <code>[v₁,v_2,…,v_m]</code>, as in <code>block (expr₁, expr₂,…, expr_n</code>, unless <code>return</code> or <code>go</code> operators are used in the block expression. In that, case the form <code>block (expr₁, expr₂,…, expr_n)</code> must be used. It should be noted that for Maxima to interpret of the syntax of the first of these forms as a block operator, there must be at least two expressions in the comma-separated sequence of expressions as arguments. Otherwise, Maxima will interpret the parentheses of this syntax as simply grouping related to the precedence order of operations. The purpose of the list argument, <code>[v₁,v_2,…,v_m]</code> is to declare the values of identifiers of the list to be local to the <code>block</code>. If there is no need for local identifiers, the list argument can be omitted (unless <code>return</code> or <code>go</code> operators are used in the <code>block</code> expression), and either form is sufficient.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* This block expression */ (%i1) (x : 2, x^2); (%o1) 4 /* Is equivalent to this block expression */ (%i2) block (x : 2, x^2); (%o2) 4</syntaxhighlight>So, in the case where values of identifiers local to the <code>block</code> of expressions are not required, then the choice of either form of the <code>block</code> expression is a matter of user preference. In both cases, the values of identifiers referenced in the <code>block</code> are global, and not local to the <code>block</code> expression. However, for the sake of clarity and consistency use of the latter form may be a better choice. <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* The value 3 assigned to x is global */ (%i3) x : 3; (x) 3 /* The value 2 assigned to x in the block is global */ (%i4) (x : 2, x^2); (%o4) 4 /* The global value assigned to x in the block is 2 not 3 */ (%i5) x; (%o5) 2 </syntaxhighlight>Values of identifiers local to the <code>block</code> may not be global:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* the value of identifier y is local only */ (%i6) block ([y], y : 4, y); (%o6) 4 /* the global value of identifier y is not 4, but is itself */ (%i7) y; (%o7) y /* the values of identifiers x and y are both local */ (%i8) block ([x,y], x : 3, y : 4, x); (%o8) 3 /* the global value of identifier x is not 3, but is 2 */ (%i9) x; (%o9) 2 /* the global value of identifier y is not 4, but is itself */ (%i10) y; (%o10) y</syntaxhighlight> Regardless of the form of the <code>block</code> expressions these have in common the comma-separated expression arguments <code>expr₁, expr₂,…, expr_n</code> which are evaluated each in turn from first to last (unless the evaluation sequence is modified by by the <code>go</code>, <code>throw</code>, or <code>return</code> operators), and the value of the block expression is the value of <code>expr_n</code>. The main purpose of the <code>block</code> expression, regardless of the form, is to group expressions that are related in some manner, and the value of the last expression may be the only value of interest. However, there are very few limitations imposed on the nature of the <code>block</code> expression arguments, so it might be the case that the purpose of evaluating the <code>block</code> expression has been achieved before the last expression argument is evaluated, in which case the value of the <code>block</code> expression may not necessarily be the value of the last argument expression. One way to accomplish that is to use an empty string as the last argument expression with the option flag <code>stringdisp</code> set to <code>false</code> which is the default value.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i11) stringdisp; (%o11) false (%i12) block ([x,y], x : 3, y : 4, x, ""); (%o12) (%i13) block ([x,y], x : 3, y : 4, x)$ </syntaxhighlight> The display of the value of the <code>block</code> expression may be suppressed using a <code>$</code> to end the input expression instead of a semi-colon. Either technique produces a <code>block</code> expression value, but the value is not displayed. If a <code>return</code> operator is evaluated as a argument expression, this will cause evaluation of expression arguments to end explicitly, and the value of the <code>return</code> operator becomes the value of the <code>block</code> expression.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i14) is (equal (x, 2)); (%o14) true %i15) block (if is (equal (x, 2)) then return (x), " x not 2"); (%o15) 2 (%i16) x : 3; (x) 3 (%i17) block (if is (equal (x, 2)) then return (x), "x not 2"); (%o17) x not 2 </syntaxhighlight>When a <code>return</code> operator is evaluated within a <code>block</code> expression the result is to stop evaluation of expressions within the enclosing <code>block</code> expression and to return the value of its argument as the value of the enclosing <code>block</code> expression. It therefore can be compared with the <code>return</code> statement found in other programming languages, but with one difference: In Maxima, the <code>return</code> operator affects only the block expression in which the <code>return</code> operator is an expression, and has no effect otherwise.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i18) test_nested_block (val) := block ( [outer_var : 10], print("Entering outer block expression"), /* inner block expression */ block( [inner_var : 20], print (" Entering inner block expression"), if val > 5 then /* another inner block expression */ block ( print (" val > 5"), print (" Returning only to inner block expression"), return (inner_var + val) /* returns only to the inner block expression */ ), /* end of another inner block expression */ print (" inner_var + val is ", inner_var + val) ), /* end of inner block expression */ print ("Back in outer block expression"), outer_var + val /* end of outer block expression */ )$ (%i19) test_nested_block (1); Entering outer block expression Entering inner block expression inner_var + val is 21 Back in outer block expression (%o19) 11 (%i20) test_nested_block (6); Entering outer block expression Entering inner block expression val > 5 Returning only to inner block expression Back in outer block expression (%o20) 16</syntaxhighlight> '''''The <code>block</code> operators''''': Each instance may define local variables and has a comma-separated sequence of expressions as arguments. '''''Nested blocks''''': There are three <code>block</code> operators used in the right-hand side of the function definition expression named <code>test_nested_block (val</code>. There is an outer <code>block</code> expression that has an inner <code>block</code> expression as an argument,and there is a third <code>block</code> expression that is an argument of the inner <code>block</code> expression. '''''The <code>return</code> operator''''': If <code>val > 5</code> is <code>true</code> then the return operator of the most inner <code>block</code> expression is evaluated and evaluation of remaining expressions of that block expression does not occur. The value of that most inner <code>block</code> expression is the value of the argument of the return operator – <code>inner_var + val</code>. Evaluation of expressions continues with the first expression of the inner <code>block</code> expression after the end of the most inner <code>block</code> expression – which is <code>print ("   inner_var + val is ", inner_var + val)</code>. The value of the <code>print</code> operator is the value of <code>inner_var + val</code>. However, while that value is the value of the inner <code>block</code> expression it is effectively lost, as it is not the last expression of the outer <code>block</code> sequence of expressions. That value is the value of <code>outer_var + val</code>, which, being the last expression of the outer <code>block</code> is always the value of the function. ==== Block Expression Evaluation Sequence Modifications ==== <code>block</code> expression arguments <code>expr₁, expr₂,…, expr_n</code> are generally evaluated each in turn from first to last, and the value of the <code>block</code> expression is the value of <code>expr_n</code> unless this sequence is modified by some means. One way to modify the first-to-last expression evaluation sequence of a <code>block</code> expression is by way of a <code>go</code> operator with a ''label'' (or ''"tag"'') argument ( the ''"go to"'') as the following exemplifies:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i18) sum_to_n (n) := block ( [i : 1, total : 0], loop, total : total + i, i : i + 1, if i <= n then go (loop), total)$ (%i19) sum_to_n(25); (%o19) 325 (%i20) n; (%o20) n (%i21) i; (%o21) i (%i22) total; (%o22) total </syntaxhighlight> Note the following: * <code>'''block ([ i : 1,total : 0], ...)'''</code>: The list argument creates a local environment with local identifiers <code>i</code> and <code>total</code>. The function argument <code>n</code> is also a local identifier. * <code>'''loop'''</code>: This label serves as a target inside the <code>block</code> expression to where <code>go (loop)</code> can jump. * <code>'''if i <= n then go (loop)'''</code>: This conditional expression causes the <code>go (loop)</code> operator to be evaluated if the condition is <code>true</code>. * <code>'''total'''</code>: The value of this local identifier is the returned value of the <code>block</code> expression. It should also be worth noting that the identifiers <code>n</code>, <code>i</code>, and <code>total</code> have local values assigned within the <code>block</code> expression, but their global values are themselves. Also notice that the identifiers <code>i</code> and <code>total</code> were both declared local and assigned initial values within the <code>block</code> list argument. The ''go-to'' label argument of the <code>go</code> operator must be the name of a tag appearing within the same block expression. The <code>go</code> operator cannot be used to go to a tag in a different <code>block</code> expression. There is nothing special about the <code>loop</code> identifier name used for the go-to tag in this example. Other identifiers could be used, but they must be atomic. Another way to modify a <code>block</code> expression evaluation sequence is by way of the <code>throw</code> operator.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i32) /* Define a function using a block expression that searches for a specific condition and a throw value to catch */ find_element (target_list, threshold) := block ( [found_val : false], /* local identifier value */ catch( for x in target_list do ( if x > threshold then ( /* Immediately exit the block and return this value */ throw (x) ) ), /* This string is returned only if the do loop finishes without a throw to catch */ "No element exceeded the threshold" ) )$ (%i31) /* Test the block */ find_element ( [10, 20, 55, 80], 50 ); (%o31) 55</syntaxhighlight>This example unpacks as follows: <code>'''catch (...)'''</code>: This expression creates a target scope that ''"catches"'' the value of any <code>throw</code> expression evaluated within that scope. <code>'''throw (x)'''</code>: When Maxima encounters this operator, it immediately stops evaluation of the <code>do</code> loop expression '''''and the rest of the''''' <code>block</code> '''''expression.''''' It jumps directly out of the scope of the <code>catch</code> expression, returning the value of <code>x</code> as the value of the entire <code>catch</code> expression. ==== Nested Block Expressions ==== <code>block</code> operators may appear within other block expressions as arguments – '''''nested''''' <code>block</code> expressions. A local environment with local identifiers may be created for nested block expressions. Local values for identifiers, if declared by a first <code>block</code> operator list argument, are created each time a nested <code>block</code> is evaluated. However, identifiers with global values that have not been declared as local within any <code>block</code> expressions, are global values for nested <code>block</code> expressions as well as enclosing <code>block</code> expressions. Likewise, local identifiers of any enclosing <code>block</code> expression have values that are global within any enclosed blocks, if not declared as local within the enclosed block. If the value of an identifier is not local in a <code>block</code> expression, its value is the value most recently assigned by an enclosing <code>block</code> expression, if any value has been assigned. Otherwise, it is the value of the identifier in the global environment. <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i23) z : 2^(1/3); (z) 2^(1/3) (%i24) /* Outer block starts */ block ( [x : 10, y : 20], /* values of x and y declared local to outer block */ /* Inner block starts */ block ( [y : 99, z : 100], /* values of y and z declared local to inner block */ print ("Inside inner block:"), print ("x =", x, "is the value of x from outer block"), print ("y =", y, "is the local value of y of outer block"), print("z =", z, "is the local value of z of inner block") ), /* Inner block ends */ /* Outer block resumes */ print ("Back in outer block:"), print ("x =", x, "is the value of x from outer block"), print ("y =", y, "is the restored value of y of the outer block"), print ("z =", z, "is the value of z global to both blocks") /* Outer block ends */ )$ Inside inner block: x = 10 is the value of x from outer block y = 99 is the local value of y of outer block z = 100 is the local value of z of inner block Back in outer block: x = 10 is the value of x from outer block y = 20 is the restored value of y of the outer block z = 2^(1/3) is the value of z global to both blocks </syntaxhighlight> ==== Values, Properties, and the <code>local</code> Operator ==== The expression <code>local (v₁, v₂, ... , v_m)</code> within a <code>block</code> expression saves the '''''properties''''' associated with the symbols <code>v₁, v₂, ... , v_m</code>, removes any properties before evaluating other expressions, and restores any saved properties on exit from the block. Because Maxima is an application based on the Common Lisp programming language, it utilizes Lisp '''''symbol''''' structure. Lisp symbols are objects that carry their own "dictionary" of attributes. A Lisp symbol's internal property list (''plist'') is a built-in data structure attached directly to a symbol. Maxima uses this underlying Lisp symbol structure to associate '''''properties''''' with Maxima identifiers. Properties of identifiers can be ''declared explicitly'' by users. <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i23) declare (x, real); (%o23) done </syntaxhighlight> However, some identifier property declarations are ''implemented implicitly'' as properties of a symbol, including <code>:=</code>, <code>array</code>, <code>dependencies</code>, <code>atvalue</code>, <code>matchdeclare</code>, <code>atomgrad</code>, <code>constant</code>, <code>nonscalar</code>, <code>assume</code>, and some others. Below is a description of how each of those specific declarations is implemented as a property under the hood: ====== Functions and Arrays ====== * '''<code>:=</code> (Function Definition):''' When you define a function using <code>f(x) := x^2</code>, the actual expression (<code>x^2</code>) and its argument list (<code>x</code>) are stored as a property of the symbol <code>f</code>. * '''<code>array</code>:''' When you declare or use a subscripted array (like <code>a[i]</code>), the array type, dimensions, and memory pointer are attached as a property to the symbol <code>a</code>. This differentiates it from a standard scalar variable. ====== Calculus and Dependencies ====== * '''<code>dependencies</code>:''' If you declare <code>depends(y, x)</code>, Maxima attaches a dependency list property to <code>y</code> noting that it functionally depends on <code>x</code>. This tells the <code>diff</code> (differentiation) engine not to treat <code>y</code> as a constant relative to <code>x</code>. * '''<code>atvalue</code>:''' When you define a specific value for an expression at a boundary point (e.g., <code>atvalue(y, x=0, 1)</code>), this boundary constraint is stored as an evaluation property on the symbol <code>y</code>. * '''<code>atomgrad</code>:''' This assigns a specific gradient or derivative to an atomic identifier (e.g., telling Maxima what (df/dx) is explicitly). Maxima saves this rule as a gradient property on that symbol. ====== Pattern Matching and Rules ====== * '''<code>matchdeclare</code>:''' Used in Maxima's pattern-matching system (like <code>tellsimp</code>). When you type <code>matchdeclare(x, freeof(a))</code>, Maxima attaches a predicate property to <code>x</code>. When a pattern rule runs, Maxima looks at property list of <code>x</code> to see what conditions a matching expression must meet. ====== Mathematical and Evaluation Attributes ====== * '''<code>constant</code>:''' Declaring <code>declare(c, constant)</code> places a "constant" flag on property list of <code>c</code>. Core routines (like integration and differentiation) check this flag to know they can pull <code>c</code> out of integrals or differentiate it to zero. * '''<code>nonscalar</code>:''' Tells Maxima to treat a symbol as a matrix or vector rather than a regular number. This property changes how operators like <code>.</code> (non-commutative multiplication) treat the symbol. * '''<code>assume</code>:''' When an expression such as <code>assume(x > 0)</code> is used, Maxima's database system (<code>context</code>) assigns facts and properties (like <code>pos</code> or <code>nonnegative</code>) to the symbol <code>x</code>, allowing the simplifier to safely reduce expressions like <code>sqrt(x^2)</code> to <code>x</code>. The effect of the <code>local</code> operator is to make such declarations effective only within a <code>block</code> expression. Otherwise, declarations within a <code>block</code> expression are considered to be global declarations. So what does all of this mean to the typical Maxima user? It means that the list of identifiers that is the first argument of a <code>block</code> expression only declares the '''''values''''' of those identifiers as local to the <code>block</code> expression in which the list is an argument. Any properties of identifiers are not declared local by this means. In order to declare '''''properties''''' of identifiers to be local to a <code>block</code> expression, the <code>local</code> operator must be used as an expression within the <code>block</code> expression. At the point where the local operator is evaluated as an argument of a <code>block</code> expression, the properties of the identifiers that are arguments to the <code>local</code> operator become local to the block. It is not an unfair criticism that perhaps the <code>local</code> operator should have been named something like <code>local_properties</code>. <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i25) f (s) := cos (s); (%o25) f(s):=cos(s) (%i26) f (%pi/6); (%o26) sqrt(3)/2 (%i27) block (local (f), f (s) := sin (s), f (%pi/6)); (%o27) 1/2 (%i28) f (s); (%o28) cos(s) </syntaxhighlight>In the above example, the '''''properties''''' of identifier <code>f</code> were declared to be local in the <code>block</code> expression using the <code>local</code> operator. However, global properties of the identifier <code>f</code> were not affected by the local function definition of <code>f</code> in the <code>block</code> expression. The global definition expression of <code>f</code> which is <code>cos (s)</code> and the argument <code>s</code> were not affected by the local definition of <code>f</code> because the properties of <code>f</code> were declared local to the <code>block</code> expression. <code>block</code> expressions can be used for different purposes in the Maxima programming context. <code>block</code> expressions can be used in a stand-alone fashion or as part of an expression. However, <code>block</code> expressions are commonly used in expressions that define '''''functions''''', which is the topic that follows. === Functions === {| class="wikitable" |+Function Definition Operators and Identifiers |<code>:=</code> |<code>fundef</code> |<code>buildq</code> |- |<code>::=</code> |<code>lambda</code> |<code>macros</code> |- |<code>define</code> |<code>local</code> |<code>slice</code> |- |<code>dispfun</code> |<code>remfunction</code> | |- |<code>functions</code> |<code>setup_autoload</code> | |} As a technical term '''''function''''' is aptly characterized as being overloaded. In the context of Maxima as a CAS, it has both a programming meaning and a mathematical meaning in terms of usage. In this book, the convention is to refer to what may otherwise be referred to as built-in Maxima functions as ''operators'' including those of built-in packages. By this convention, the term '''''function''''' in this book refers exclusively to expressions composed by the user by way of the <code>:=</code> or <code>define</code> operators. As has been mentioned elsewhere in this book, what are conventionally termed ''operators'' that are built-in to Maxima, are at the level of underlying expression construction, Lisp procedures of one type or another. So it makes sense to simply refer to built-in Maxima functions and operators simply as operators one and all. This convention obviates the need for the repetitious use of qualifiers such as ''built-in Maxima'' and ''user-defined'' functions. There are two operators used to define functions as follows: # The <code>''''':='''''</code> operator # The <code>'''define'''</code> operator <var><code>f (x₁, x_2, ..., x_n) ''':=''' expr</code> <code>f</code> <code>[x₁, x_2, ..., x_n] ''':=''' expr</code> <code>f</code> <code>[x₁, x_2, ..., x_n](y₁, y₂, ..., y_m) ''':=''' expr</code></var> <code>define (f</code> <code>(x₁, x_2, …, x_n), expr)</code> <code>define (f</code> <code>[x₁, x_2, …, x_n], expr)</code> <code>define (f</code> <code>[x₁, x_2, …, x_n](y₁, y_2, …, y_m), expr)</code> <code>define (funmake (f, [</code><code>x₁, x_2, …, x_n]), expr)</code> <code>define (arraymake (f, [</code><code>x₁, x_2, …, x_n]), expr)</code> <code>define (ev (</code><code>expr₁, expr₂))</code> where <code>expr</code> is some Maxima expression that is commonly referred to as the ''function body''. As can be concluded from the above, each of these operators has different forms of syntax that can be used. In any case, the most significant differences between these two operators are in terms of the evaluation of the function body and the composition and identification of functions dynamically. * '''Evaluation:''' ** The <code>:=</code> operator '''suppresses (quotes)''' the evaluation of the function body when this operator is first evaluated. It does not evaluate or simplify the function body until the function identifier itself is evaluated with arguments. ** The <code>define()</code> operator '''evaluates''' the function body when this operator is first evaluated. If the function body involves intermediate computations, substituted values, or extracted parts of expressions (like <code>rhs()</code> or derivative results), the <code>define()</code> operator includes the evaluated results of those directly into the function body. * '''Dynamic Function Composition and Identifiers:''' ** Function identifiers cannot easily be composed dynamically on the left-hand side of the <code>:=</code> operator when used inside programmatic loop expressions or in scripts. ** The <code>define()</code> operator accepts expressions like <code>funmake</code> or evaluated symbols as its first argument, allowing the composition and identification of functions dynamically during evaluation. So, there are in general two different operators that can be used to define and evaluate functions. The choice by the Maxima user between these two operators depends on the purpose and context. ==== Function Definition Using the <code>:=</code> Operator ==== For the purpose of understanding the two ways of defining functions, consider the following example which is elementary, but in terms of clarification is not merely simple:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* "kill" all previously used identifier and values */ (%i29) kill (all); (%o0) done /* assign identifier x the global value of 5 */ (%i1) x : 5; (x) 5 /* define f as a function with local argument x */ (%i2) f (x) := x; (%o2) f(x):=x /* evaluate f at local value of x is 3 */ (%i3) f (3); (%o3) 3 /* the global value of x is not affected */ (%i4) x; (%o4) 5 /* show the definition expression of the function named f */ (%i5) fundef (f); (%o5) f(x):=x</syntaxhighlight>'''Function Definition Using the''' '''<code>define</code> Operator'''<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* define a function with identifier g with a local argument y and with a function body of identifier x */ (%i3) define (g('x), x); (%o3) g(x):=5 /* identifier x of the function body is evaluated */ /* identifier x as an argument of g is local in scope */ (%i4) fundef (g); (%o4) g(x):=5 /* the same identifier x used in three different roles */ /* used as the global name of a function x */ /* used as a local argument of a function */ /* used as an unevaluated expression for a function body */ (%i7) x(x) := x; (%o7) x(x):=x (%i9) x(3); (%o9) 3 (%i10) x; (%o10) 5 (%i8) fundef (x); (%o8) x(x):=x (%i11) define (x('x), x); (%o11) x(x):=5 (%i12) fundef (x); (%o12) x(x):=5 </syntaxhighlight>The purpose of this example is not to encourage this sort of syntax as a typical choice for identifiers and function definitions. The purpose is to clarify how Maxima implicitly determines the scope and meaning of identifiers used for function definition in the absence of any explicit user stipulations. It should be noted that the <code>define</code> operator not only evaluates the expression that is the function body, it also evaluates the arguments of the function identifier that is the first argument of the <code>define</code> operator. Since there is a global value of the identifier <code>x</code> of <code>5</code>, it was necessary to suppress evaluation (quote) the argument in the expression <code>(%i12) define ('x), x);</code> as otherwise an error would be the result:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* define a new function named x */ (%i14) define (x('x), 'x^2); (%o14) x(x):=x^2 /* check the definition of the new function named x */ (%i15) fundef (x); (%o15) x(x):=x^2 /* the identifier x has a global value */ (%i16) values; (%o16) [x] /* the global value of identifier x is 5 */ (%i17) x; (%o17) 5 /* the suppressed global value 'x of identifier x is x */ (%i18) 'x; (%o18) x /* not quoting the global value of identifier x is an error */ (%i19) define (x(x), 'x^2); define: in definition of x, parameter must be a symbol and must not be a system constant; found: 5 -- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true); </syntaxhighlight> ==== Understanding the Differences Between the <code>:=</code> and <code>define</code> Operators ==== In cases such as these, the suppression of evaluation by quoting is a user stipulation as to evaluation. Users must be aware of these differences between the two operators (<code>:=</code> and <code>define</code>) for the purpose of function definition in order to achieve what is intended and to avoid errors,<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i20) f (x) := 3*x^3 + 4*x - 5; (%o20) f(x):=3*x^3+4*x-5 (%i21) fundef (f); (%o21) f(x):=3*x^3+4*x-5 (%i22) f(2); (%o22) 27 (%i23) define (f (x) , 3*x^3 + 4*x - 5); define: in definition of f, parameter must be a symbol and must not be a system constant; found: 5 -- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true); (%i24) define (f ('x) , 3*x^3 + 4*x - 5); (%o24) f(x):=390 (%i25) define (f ('x) , '(3*x^3 + 4*x - 5)); (%o25) f(x):=3*x^3+4*x-5 (%i26) fundef (f); (%o26) f(x):=3*x^3+4*x-5 (%i27) f(2); (%o27) 27 </syntaxhighlight>What is true in the case of these elementary examples is true in general for function definitions involving multiple arguments:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* x has a global value of 5 while y is local to g */ (%i28) g (x, y) := x^3 - y^2; (%o28) g(x,y):=x^3-y^2 (%i29) g (6,2); (%o29) 212 (%i30) define (g('x, y), 'x^3 - y^2); (%o30) g(x,y):=x^3-y^2 (%i31) values; (%o31) [x] (%i32) g (6,2); (%o32) 212 </syntaxhighlight>The <code>define</code> operator is a good choice in cases where an existing expression is used as the function body:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i33) /* assign an expression to identifier expr */ expr : diff('x^3, 'x); /* Returns 3*x^2 */ (expr) 3*x^2 (%i34) /* evaluate expr and define h (x) := 3*x^2 */ define (h ('x), expr); (%o34) h(x):=3*x^2 </syntaxhighlight>In cases in which functions require local variables or more than one expression for the function body, use the block operator:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i35) remvalue (x); (%o35) [x] (%i36) values; (%o36) [expr] --> power_sum (x, y) := block ( /* values of these identifiers are explicitly local to the function */ [sqx, sqy], /* unevaluated identifiers x and y are local arguments of the function and values of these identifiers are implicitly local to the function */ sqx : x^2, sqy : y^2, sqx + sqy /* the value of the function */ )$ (%i37) fundef (power_sum); (%o37) power_sum(x,y):=block([sqx,sqy],sqx:x^2,sqy:y^2,sqx+sqy) (%i38) power_sum (3,4); (%o38) 25 </syntaxhighlight>The <code>define</code> operator could also be used to define this function, but with different definition values as a consequence:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i39) define (power_sum (x,y), block ( [sqx,sqy], sqx : x^2, sqy : y^2, sqx + sqy ) )$ (%i40) fundef (power_sum); (%o40) power_sum(x,y):=y^2+x^2 (%i41) power_sum (3,4); (%o41) 25</syntaxhighlight>The function definition of <code>power_sum</code> is different using the <code>define</code> operator instead of the <code>:=</code> operator. The value of the function when referenced with arguments (<code>power_sum (3,4)</code>) is the same in both cases – <code>25</code>. However, in general for defining functions, this may not be the case. The choice between these two operators depends on the intentions of the user. ==== Practical Considerations Related to Function Composition ==== In general, programming is a technical skill as well as a subjective art. So, absolute rules are not offered here. For practical purposes some "guidelines" are offered here that may be useful for Maxima function composition as well as Maxima programming in general: * * * * * Consider the following linear algebraic equation: <math display="block">3y - 7x = 10</math> As an example suppose the value that is sought is the slope <code>m</code> of this equation, and in general, the slope of any linear equation regardless of the form. <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* assign the linear equation to an identifier */ (%i42) lineqn : 3*y - 7*x = 10; (lineqn) 3*y-7*x=10 /* solve the linear equation for y */ (%i43) solve([lineqn], [y]) (%o43) [y=(7*x+10)/3] /* use the index [1] of the list to get the solved equation */ (%i44) solve([lineqn], [y])[1] (%o44) y=(7*x+10)/3 /* use the rhs operator to get right-hand side */ (%i45) rhs(solve([lineqn], [y])[1]); (%o45) (7*x+10)/3 /* use the expand operator change the RHS */ (%i46) expand(rhs(solve([lineqn], [y])[1])); (%o46) (7*x)/3+10/3 /* use the coeff operator to get the coefficient of x */ (%i47) coeff(expand(rhs(solve([lineqn], [y])[1])),x,1); (%o47) 7/3 /* define the function with an argument eqn for lineqn */ (%i48) m (eqn) := coeff (expand (rhs (solve ([eqn], [y])[1])),x,1)$ /* check the function definition */ (%i49) fundef (m); (%o49) m(eqn):=coeff(expand(rhs((solve([eqn],[y]))[1])),x,1) /* reference the function using lineqn as an argument */ (%i50) m (lineqn); (%o50) 7/3 /* assign a different linear equation to lineqn */ (%i51) lineqn : x = 6*y + 13; (lineqn) x=6*y+13 /* reference the function using lineqn as an argument */ %i52) m (lineqn); (%o52) 1/6</syntaxhighlight>The function body of this example will result in an error if it is used with the <code>define</code> operator:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i53) define ( m (eqn), coeff (expand (rhs (solve ([eqn], [y])[1])),x,1) )$ inpart: invalid index 1 of list or matrix. -- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true); </syntaxhighlight>This error is a consequence of the evaluation that occurs when using the <code>define</code> operator. In this case, this evaluation results in a reference to the indexed value of a list object that does not exist when evaluation occurs during definition – <code>solve ([eqn], [y])[1]</code>. ==== Memoizing Functions ==== The functions discussed so far are often referred to as '''''ordinary functions'''''. The arguments of ordinary functions are enclosed using parentheses – <var><code>(x₁, x_2, ..., x_n)</code>.</var> Function definition forms which include arguments enclosed by brackets (as in <var><code>[x₁, x_2, ..., x_n]</code></var>) are called '''''memoizing functions'''''. Memoizing functions can be categorized both as functions and as data structures – specifically a ''hashed array'' of values. Memoizing functions are also referred to as '''''array functions'''''. In any case, memoizing functions can be defined using either the <code>:=</code> operator or the <code>define</code> operator. If the form of the function definition expression is <code>f [x₁, x₂,..., x_n] := expr</code> The function body <code>expr</code> is evaluated once for each individual value of the arguments, and that value is the value of the function, without again evaluating the function body, whenever referenced using arguments that have those same values. Once evaluated during a function reference with arguments, that value of a memoizing function is thereby "frozen" in other words. This frozen value also becomes an instance of a hashed array data structure that can be referenced by way of the value of the index used as an argument when first evaluated. In keeping with previous practice, the examples provided here are intentionally elementary for the purpose of demonstrating and clarifying the technical aspects involved. There is thereby no intention to convey that the composition of function definition expressions with multiple arguments and complex expressions for the function body is ruled out or of lesser practical value. <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* define a memoizing function f */ /* x and n may serve as both arguments and array indices */ (%i54) f [x, n] := x^n; (%o54) f[x,n]:=x^n /* check the array information for f */ (%i55) arrayinfo (f); (%o55) [hashed,2] /* f does not appear in the list of functions */ (%i56) functions; (%o56) [m(lineqn)] /* reference f with argument values */ (%i57) f [2,3] ; (%o57) 8 /* check the array information for f again */ (%i58) arrayinfo (f); (%o58) [hashed,2,[2,3]] /* list the array values of f */ (%i59) listarray (f); (%o59) [8] /* f does appear in the list of arrays */ (%i60) arrays; (%o60) [f] /* reference f with new argument values */ (%i61) f [5,2]; (%o61) 25 /* check the array information for f again */ (%i62) arrayinfo (f); (%o62) [hashed,2,[2,3],[5,2]] /* list the array values of f */ (%i63) listarray (f); (%o63) [8,25]</syntaxhighlight>An expression of the form <code>define (f [x1, x2</code><code>,…, xn], expr)</code> may also be used to define the same memoizing function <code>f</code> in this case as the evaluation imposed by the <code>define</code> operator during evaluation of these function arguments and this function body that occurs makes no difference:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* remove the function definition and values of f */ (%i64) remarray (f); (%o64) [f] /* the list of arrays is now empty */ (%i65) arrays; (%o65) [] /* define the same memoizing function f using the define operator */ /* evaluation makes no difference to the definition of f in this case */ (%i66) define (f [x,n], x^n); (%o66) f[x,n]:=x^n /* reference f with different argument values */ (%i67) f [3, 2]; (%o67) 9 /* reference f again with different argument values */ (%i68) f [2, 5]; (%o68) 32 /* f again appears in the list of arrays */ (%i69) arrays; (%o69) [f] /* check the array information for f */ (%i70) arrayinfo (f); (%o70) [hashed,2,[2,5],[3,2]] /* list the array values of f */ (%i71) listarray (f); (%o71) [32,9] </syntaxhighlight> ===== Special Forms of Memoizing Functions ===== <code>f [x₁, x₂,..., x_n](y₁, y₂,..., y_m):= expr</code> or <code>define (f</code> <code>[x₁, x_2, …, x_n](y₁, y_2, …, y_m), expr)</code> An expression of the form <code>f [x₁, x₂,..., x_n](y₁, y₂,..., y_m):= expr</code>, or alternatively of the form <code>define (f [x1, x2</code><code>,…, xn](y₁, y₂,..., y_m), expr)</code>, may also be used to define a memoizing function named <code>f</code>. When either of these forms are used to compose a function definition expression, there is a sense in which the resulting function is a hybrid – part memoizing function, and part "ordinary" function. These forms create a hashed array of functions where the array subscripts <code>[x₁, x₂,..., x_n]</code> evaluate immediately to "specialize" the function body, while the ordinary function arguments <code>(y₁, y₂,..., y_m)</code> are used when evaluating these individual functions.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* Define a function for an array of "shifted" power functions */ (%i72) define( p[n](x), x^n + n ); (%o72) p[n](x):=x^n+n (%i73) p[2]; (%o73) lambda([x],x^2+2) (%i74) p[2](5); (%o74) 27 (%i75) p[4]; (%o75) lambda([x],x^4+4) (%i76) p[4](5); (%o76) 629 (%i77) arrayinfo (p); (%o77) [hashed,1,[2],[4]] (%i78) listarray (p) (%o78) [lambda([x],x^2+2),lambda([x],x^4+4)] (%i79) p[5]; (%o79) lambda([x],x^5+5) (%i80) p[5](2); (%o80) 37 (%i81) listarray (p); (%o81) [lambda([x],x^2+2),lambda([x],x^4+4),lambda([x],x^5+5)] (%i82) arrayinfo (p); (%o82) [hashed,1,[2],[4],[5]]</syntaxhighlight>'''Explanation of the code example:''' '''1. Defining the memoizing function:''' The expression composed using the <code>define</code> operator has a value that defines a special form of a memoizing function. The value of this defining expression serves as a "template" for indexed values of a hashed array – <code>p[n]</code>. '''2. The value of array instances:''' Applying the defined function <code>p</code> to an expression enclosed only with brackets for the argument identified as <code>n</code>, returns a value that is a <code>lambda</code> expression, and that is an indexed instance of a hashed array. The identifier <code>n</code> serves as both as an argument of the function body and as an index of the hashed array in this case. <code>lambda</code> expressions are sometimes referred to as ''anonymous'', ''ad hoc'', or ''throw-away''. The technical details of <code>lambda</code> expressions are explained in a following section. '''3. Evaluating the memoizing functions with arguments:''' The argument identified as <code>x</code> in parentheses serves only as part of the composition of the function body of the indexed <code>lambda</code> expressions of the hashed array <code>p</code> when referenced by some expression in parentheses. This form of the composition of a Maxima memoizing function is useful to create an array of unique <code>lambda</code> expressions where the composition of each individual expression depends explicitly on the structural indices of the array that are used. This form in general can be composed using more than one argument for index values enclosed in brackets, as well more than one evaluation argument enclosed in parentheses. The number of each type of argument need not be the same. For example, in a defining expression of the form: <code>f [x₁, x₂,..., x_n](y₁, y₂,..., y_m):= expr</code>, that <math display="inline">n = m</math> is true, is not necessary. The operator <code>:=</code> can also be used to define this type of memoizing function:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* index values can be expressions */ (%i83) p [2*x]; (%o83) lambda([x],x^(2*x)+2*x) (%i84) p [2*x](4); (%o84) 65544 /* a memoizing function definition with multiple arguments */ (%i85) p2 [m, n](x, y) := x^n + y^m + (m+n); (%o85) p2[m,n](x,y):=x^n+y^m+(m+n) /* this expression creates the first indexed value of a hashed array identified as p2 */ (%i86) p2 [2, 2]; (%o86) lambda([x,y],y^2+x^2+4) /* this expression has a value of 17 for values of the arguments (2, 3) for the first indexed values of [2, 2] of a hashed array identified as p2 */ (%i87) p2 [2, 2](2,3); (%o87) 17 /* this expression creates the second indexed value of a hashed array identified as p2 */ (%i88) p2 [3, 4]; (%o88) lambda([x,y],y^3+x^4+7) /* this expression has a value of 213 for values of the arguments (3, 5) for the second indexed values of [3, 4] of a hashed array identified as p2 */ (%i89) p2 [3, 4](3, 5); (%o89) 213 (%i90) arrayinfo (p2); (%o90) [hashed,2,[2,2],[3,4]] (%i91) arrayinfo (p); (%o91) [hashed,1,[2],[4],[5],[2*x]] /* another memoizing function definition with multiple arguments and where n is not erqual to m */ (%i92) p3 [i, j](x, y, z) := x^i * y^j * z^j; (%o92) p3[i,j](x,y,z):=x^i*y^j*z^j (%i93) p3 [3,4]; (%o93) lambda([x,y,z],x^3*y^4*z^4) (%i94) p3 [3, 4] (2, 3, 4); (%o94) 165888 (%i95) arrayinfo (p3); (%o95) [hashed,2,[3,4]] (%i96) arrays; (%o96) [p,p2,p3] (%i97) listarray (p3); (%o97) [lambda([x,y,z],x^3*y^4*z^4)] </syntaxhighlight> ===== More Special Forms of Memoizing Functions Using the <code>define</code> Operator ===== <code>define (funmake (f, [x₁, x_2,…, x_n]), expr)</code> or <code>define (arraymake (f, [x₁, x_2,…, x_n]), expr)</code> or <code>define (ev (expr₁, expr₂))</code> ==== Lambda Expressions ==== ==== Macros – <code>::=</code> and <code>buildq</code> Operators ==== In the Maxima Computer Algebra System (CAS), a '''''macro''''' is a special type of function that manipulates the structure of an expression before it is evaluated. The Maxima Manual describes ''macros''<ref>{{Cite web |title=Maxima Manual - Operator ::= |url=https://maxima.sourceforge.io/docs/manual/Operators.html#index-_003a_003a_003d |url-status=live}}</ref> as follows: ''"Macro function definition operator.'' <code>::=</code> ''defines a function (called a "macro" for historical reasons) which quotes its arguments, and the expression which it returns (called the "macro expansion") is evaluated in the context from which the macro was called. A macro function is otherwise the same as an ordinary function."'' {| class="wikitable" |+Macro Operators and Identifiers |<code>::=</code> |<code>macroexpand</code> |<code>macros</code> |<code>splice</code> |- |<code>fundef</code> | <code>dispfun</code> | <code>buildq</code> | |- |<code>remfunction</code> |<code>kill</code> |<code>remove</code> | |}While ordinary Maxima functions evaluate their arguments immediately when referenced, a ''macro'' quotes its arguments. It treats those arguments as raw, not evaluated expression blocks, ''transforms'' them mathematically or syntactically, and then <code>evaluates</code> the newly generated code. Because Maxima is written in and inherits the semantics of Common Lisp, its macro system acts similarly to Lisp macros, functioning essentially as a programmable compiler extension. Key Mechanics of a Maxima Macro * '''Definition Operator (<code>::</code>=):''' You define a macro using the <code>::=</code> operator instead of the ordinary function definition operator (<code>:=</code>). * '''The Global <code>macros</code> List:''' Every time you create a macro, Maxima automatically tracks it by appending it to a global information list called <code>macros</code>. * '''Macro Expansion:''' When a macro is invoked, Maxima executes a process called ''expansion''. The macro code runs to generate a new Maxima expression, and then Maxima evaluates that final output expression. ====== Some Reasons to Use a Macro Instead of a Function: ====== Ordinary functions cannot control how or when arguments are evaluated. Macros are a good choice for: # '''Evaluation Control:''' Preventing an expression from being evaluated until specific conditional statements are checked. # '''Meta-programming:''' Writing clean, shorthand code that automatically generates longer, repetitive mathematical boilerplate expressions "under the hood" so to speak. # '''Context Manipulation:''' Altering identifiers inside the environment where referenced rather than within a closed, localized function scope. ====== Example: Function vs. Macro ====== <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* an ordinary function definition expression */ (%i98) a_function (expr) := print( "The expression is: ", expr)$ (%i99) x : 5; (x) 5 /* An ordinary function evaluates arguments when referenced */ (%i100) a_function (x + 2)$ The expression is: 7 /* This expression has the same value as the above */ (%i101) a_function (expr : x + 2)$ The expression is: 7 /* A macro quotes its arguments and controls execution */ (%i102) a_macro (expr) ::= buildq ( [expr], print ("The expression is: ", 'expr) )$ (%i103) a_macro (x + 2); The expression is: x+2 (%o103) x+2 (%i104) a_macro (expr : x + 2); The expression is: expr:x+2 (%o104) expr:x+2 /* a macro function expression does not evaluate the argument */ (%i105) a_macro (expr : 2); The expression is: expr:2 (%o105) expr:2 /* the macros identifier lists defined macros */ (%i106) macros; (%o106) [a_macro(expr)] </syntaxhighlight>To "quote" ( <code>'</code> ) an expression is to suppress evaluation. The above example provides some insight into the value of the argument that a function references compared to the value of the argument that a macro references. Maxima macros (and Lisp as well) are an example of the fact that expressions can be used as data – which is referred to as '''''homoiconicity'''''. The typical purpose of using macros is to reference expressions as arguments and have as a value of the macro a different expression, which has been evaluated instead. To understand the difference, consider how a function and a macro handle a identifier named <code>x</code>: * If <code>a_function(x + 2)</code> is referenced when <code>x</code> has been previously assigned a value of <code>5</code>, the function immediately receives <code>7</code> as the value of the argument expression. * If <code>a_macro(x + 2)</code>, is referenced the macro receives the exact symbolic structure <code>x + 2</code> as the value of the argument expression without evaluating it first, allowing manipulation of the literal algebraic format. Expression templates like <code>buildq</code> are frequently used inside macros to compose new mathematical expressions. On the surface, a macro functions does not appear to be different than an ordinary function – both are expressions that have values if referenced using arguments. The difference involves the point in the processing of the expression as to what is evaluated when referenced and when. In short, The ordinary function processes evaluated arguments while the macro uses unevaluated arguments to reshape the process of composing the returned value. ====== Two Other Simple Examples ====== Simple macros are typically used to create shorthand syntax, control evaluation, or mimic standard programming constructs like in-place modification. '''Example''' '''1: In-place Increment''' In Maxima, there is no built-in <code>x++</code> or <code>x : x + 1</code> when <code>x</code> is referenced as an argument of an ordinary function. Using a macro, an identifier can be referenced as an argument without evaluating it, modify it, and then reassign it.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* macro definition expression */ (%i107) incm (var) ::= buildq ([var], var : var + 1); (%o108) incm(var)::=buildq([var],var:var+1) /* Usage */ (%i109) x : 10; (x) 10 (%i110) incm (x); (%o110) 11 /* x is now 11 */ (%i111) x; (%o111) 11</syntaxhighlight>An ordinary function would evaluate <code>x</code> to <code>10</code> immediately, passing the number <code>10</code> to the function. Consequently, an ordinary function cannot assign a new value to the raw identifier <code>x</code>.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* function definition expression */ (%i112) incf(var) := buildq([var], var : var + 1); (%o112) incf(var):=buildq([var],var:var+1) (%i113) incf (x); (%o113) 11:12 /* x is still 11 */ (%i114) x; (%o114) 11</syntaxhighlight>'''Example 2: Unless Conditional''' <code>(unless_then)</code> A macro for a custom control flow that evaluates a body of expressions only if a condition is <code>false</code>.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* definition expression for the macro */ (%i115) unless_then(cond, body) ::= buildq([cond, body], if not cond then body)$ /* usage */ (%i115) is_raining : false; (is_raining) false (%i116) unless_then(is_raining, print("Let's go for a walk!"))$ Let's go for a walk! </syntaxhighlight> ====== Some Complex Macro Examples ====== Complex macros often use <code>buildq</code> (build quotation) alongside loop structures to dynamically generate heavily nested code, unroll repetitive operations, or create entirely new domain-specific syntax. '''Example 1: Parallel Assignment''' <code>(psetq)</code> This macro mimics parallel assignment as in Lisp. It takes a list of identifiers and a list of values, evaluating all values first before assigning them to prevent identifiers from overwriting each other mid-process (useful for swapping identifiers).<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i117) psetq ([args]) ::= block ( [len, vars, vals, gensyms, assignments, final_assigns], len : length (args), if oddp (len) then error ("psetq requires an even number of arguments"), /* Separate variables and expressions */ vars : makelist (args[i], i, 1, len, 2), vals : makelist (args[i], i, 2, len, 2), /* Create unique temporary identifiers to hold the evaluated values safely */ gensyms : makelist (gensym (), i, 1, length (vars)), /* 1. Evaluate expressions into temporary identifiers */ assignments : makelist (buildq ([g: gensyms[i], v: vals[i]], g: v), i, 1, length (vars) ), /* 2.

'''Example 2: Memoized Timing Wrapper''' <code>(time_and_cache)</code> This macro wraps an "expensive" mathematical calculation. It checks if a global cache has the result; if not, it prints a timing message, computes the result, saves the result to a hashed array, and returns the value.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i122) time_and_cache (cache_name, key, expr) ::= buildq ( [cache_name, key, expr], block ( [cached_val], cached_val : cache_name[key], if cached_val # false then ( print("Cache Hit!"), cached_val ) else ( print ("Cache Miss.

In Maxima, enclosing an argument in square brackets in a function definition allows the function to accept an arbitrary number of arguments. When the defined function is referenced with arguments, the argument identifier enclosed by the brackets has a value of a Maxima list containing all passed arguments. A variadic function is a function that accepts a variable number of arguments – zero, one, or many arguments<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i125) g([y]) := ( disp (sconcat (length(y), " optional arguments")), y ); (%125) g([y]):=(disp(sconcat(length(y)," optional arguments")),y) (%i126) g (1,2,3); 3 optional arguments (%o126) [1,2,3] /* the value of y is a list of the arguments */ (%i127) g (x^2,y^2,z^2); 3 optional arguments (%o127) [x^2,y^2,z^2] (%i128) g ([]); 1 optional arguments (%o128) [[]] (%i129) length ( [[]] ); (%o129) 1 /* the value of y is a list of an empty list */</syntaxhighlight> This form of function composition may include one or more required arguments as exemplified below:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* c is a required argument */ (%i130) h (c, [vars]) := ( disp(sconcat(length(vars)," optional arguments")), [vars, c] ); (%o130) h(c,[vars]):=(disp(sconcat(length(vars)," optional arguments")),[vars,c]) (%i131) h (5, x,y,z); 3 optional arguments (%o131) [[x,y,z],5] /* the value of vars is the list [x,y,z] */ /* 6 is the value of the required argument and all other argument values are in the list identified as vars */ (%i132) h (6, a,b,c,d,e); 5 optional arguments (%o132) [[a,b,c,d,e],6] /* the function h can be referenced with no optional arguments */ (%i133) h(6); 0 optional arguments (%o133) [[],6] /* the value of vars is the empty list [] */ </syntaxhighlight>If a function defined with one or more required arguments is referenced with more arguments than the required number of arguments, the excess argument values are of the optional list.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i134) sum_of_squares ([vals]) := block ( apply ("+", map (lambda([x], x^2), vals) ) )$ (%i135) sum_of_squares(2, 3); (%o135) 13 (%i136) sum_of_squares(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); (%o136) 55 (%i137) sum_of_squares(); (%o137) 0 (%i138) tagged_list (prefix, [rest]) := cons (prefix, rest)$ (%i139) tagged_list (root, a, b, c); (%o139) [root,a,b,c] </syntaxhighlight> ====== Understanding Block and Function Argument Expressions and Possible Side Affects ====== Consider the example of the following expressions:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* assign global values to identifiers a and c */ (%i140) a : %pi; (%o140) %pi (%i141) c : %e; (%o141) %e /* identifiers a and c are local to this block expression */ /* assign local values to a and c */ /* the value of the block is a list of the values of a and c */ (%i142) block ([a : 3, c : a], [a, c]); (%o142) [3,%pi] /* global values of identifiers a and c are unchanged */ (%i143) c; (%o143) %e (%i144) a; (%o144) %pi </syntaxhighlight>Notice that argument <code>a</code> was assigned a value of <code>3</code>, and that argument <code>c</code> was assigned the value of <code>a</code> in <code>%i142</code>. However, the list of <code>%o142</code> that is the value of the block shows the value of <code>c</code> as <code>%pi</code> and not <code>3</code>. The reason for this result is that the expressions of the list of local arguments of the block expression are not evaluated in "series" so to speak. Instead they are evaluated independently in "parallel" before they are referenced as local values in the expression of the block – which in this example is simply a list of their values. Consider how this behavior is described in the Maxima Manual<ref>{{Cite web |title=Maxima Manual 32.2.1 - Ordinary functions |url=https://maxima.sourceforge.io/docs/manual/Function-Definition.html#Ordinary-functions}}</ref>:<blockquote>''"Note that the assignments in the block variables, are done in parallel. This means, that if you had used c : a in the above, the value of c would have been the value of a at the time you just entered the block, but before a was bound."'' </blockquote>This is precisely the behavior that is exemplified by the expression above. The declared local argument <code>a</code> is assigned a value of <code>3</code>. The declared local argument <code>c</code> is assigned the value of <code>a</code>, but the value of <code>a</code> at this point in the evaluation process is not <code>3</code>. Rather it is the value of the global identifier <code>a</code> which is <code>%pi</code>. Note that the values of the global identifiers <code>a</code> and <code>c</code> are unchanged by the block expression – <code>a</code> is <code>%pi</code> and <code>c</code> is <code>%e</code>. This behavior is important to recognize as functions behave in a fashion that is similar to this <code>block</code> expression example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i145) f (x) := x; (%o145) f(x):=x (%i146) f(1); (%o146) 1 /* this block expression will have the same value as f if x = 1 is true */ (%i147) block ([x : 1], x); (%o147) 1 </syntaxhighlight>When using assignment expressions as arguments of defined functions, it is important to recognize that there exists the potential to change the values of global identifiers:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* assign global identifier a a value of 3 */ (%i148) x : 3; (%o148) 3 /* define an ordinary function f */ (%i149) f (x) := x^2; (%o149) f(x):=x^2 /*reference function f with an assignment expression as an argument */ (%i150) f (x : a); (%o150) %pi^2 /* the global value of identifier x from 3 to %pi has been changed */ (%i151) x; (%o151) %pi /* the global value of identifier a is not changed */ (%i152) a; (%o152) %pi </syntaxhighlight>If it is necessary to referenced the value of a global identifier by name as the argument to a function, side effects of this sort can be avoided by using an expression similar to the following:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* reference the function f with the argument assignment expression x : x */ (%i153) f (x : x); (%o153) %pi^2 /* the value of the global identifier x is not changed */ (%i154) x; (%o154) %pi </syntaxhighlight>The effect of the value of the expression <code>x : x</code> is to assign the local argument of <code>x</code> the value of the global identifier <code>x</code>, which is <code>%pi</code>, which is not changed. It is this local value of <code>x</code> that is used to evaluate the function body.

Saving Changes. 4681543 wikitext text/x-wiki =Maxima Programming= Although Maxima is not a general-purpose programming language, Maxima as a CAS includes among the built-in ingredients a relatively complete set of programming expressions that are useful for the intended context. Many of the code examples of this section are intended to be illustrative of technical details relevant to Maxima programming as their purpose, and consequently are intentionally elementary in character. Learning any sort of programming language, including Maxima programming expressions, is a subjective process. In any case, it is essential to have enough technical know-how specific to the programming language in order to begin the learning process, even in cases where much positive transfer from other programming experience is involved. Much can be accomplished mathematically using Maxima without having to resort to in-depth knowledge and proficiency in the technical details of Maxima programming expressions. However, Maxima programming expressions are frequently essential for the purpose of defining functions, both in the programming sense of the term, but also more relevantly, for the mathematical sense. For that reason alone, familiarity and sufficient proficiency with Maxima programming expressions should be given some attention. One way to begin the learning process is to become familiar with enough of the programming essentials to accomplish independent efforts toward accomplishing some specific programming goal of interest. The other way is to study the many available programming expressions of others. This section is intended to provide the essentials toward learning by whatever means are chosen. The following table shows some built-in ingredients related to Maxima programming expressions: {| class="wikitable" |+Maxima Programming Category |if |unless |errcatch |prederror |- |block |for |error |return |- |catch |from |warning |throw |- |local |thru |errormsg |sstatus |- |garbage_collect |step |errormsg |status |- |do |next |go | |- |while |in | | |} Some of these programming expression ingredients can also be considered as belonging to one or more other categories than the Programming category. === Block Expressions === Arguably, the first expressions to consider in the context of Maxima programming are '''''block''''' expressions. All <code>block</code> expressions as programming ingredients come in two flavors: * <code>( expr₁, expr₂,…, expr_n )</code> * <code>block ([v₁,v_2,…,v_m], expr₁, expr₂,…, expr_n)</code> The first form of a <code>block</code> expression is equivalent to the second form, but without the first list argument: <code>[v₁,v_2,…,v_m]</code>, as in <code>block (expr₁, expr₂,…, expr_n</code>, unless <code>return</code> or <code>go</code> operators are used in the block expression. In that, case the form <code>block (expr₁, expr₂,…, expr_n)</code> must be used. It should be noted that for Maxima to interpret of the syntax of the first of these forms as a block operator, there must be at least two expressions in the comma-separated sequence of expressions as arguments. Otherwise, Maxima will interpret the parentheses of this syntax as simply grouping related to the precedence order of operations. The purpose of the list argument, <code>[v₁,v_2,…,v_m]</code> is to declare the values of identifiers of the list to be local to the <code>block</code>. If there is no need for local identifiers, the list argument can be omitted (unless <code>return</code> or <code>go</code> operators are used in the <code>block</code> expression), and either form is sufficient.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* This block expression */ (%i1) (x : 2, x^2); (%o1) 4 /* Is equivalent to this block expression */ (%i2) block (x : 2, x^2); (%o2) 4</syntaxhighlight>So, in the case where values of identifiers local to the <code>block</code> of expressions are not required, then the choice of either form of the <code>block</code> expression is a matter of user preference. In both cases, the values of identifiers referenced in the <code>block</code> are global, and not local to the <code>block</code> expression. However, for the sake of clarity and consistency use of the latter form may be a better choice. <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* The value 3 assigned to x is global */ (%i3) x : 3; (x) 3 /* The value 2 assigned to x in the block is global */ (%i4) (x : 2, x^2); (%o4) 4 /* The global value assigned to x in the block is 2 not 3 */ (%i5) x; (%o5) 2 </syntaxhighlight>Values of identifiers local to the <code>block</code> may not be global:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* the value of identifier y is local only */ (%i6) block ([y], y : 4, y); (%o6) 4 /* the global value of identifier y is not 4, but is itself */ (%i7) y; (%o7) y /* the values of identifiers x and y are both local */ (%i8) block ([x,y], x : 3, y : 4, x); (%o8) 3 /* the global value of identifier x is not 3, but is 2 */ (%i9) x; (%o9) 2 /* the global value of identifier y is not 4, but is itself */ (%i10) y; (%o10) y</syntaxhighlight> Regardless of the form of the <code>block</code> expressions these have in common the comma-separated expression arguments <code>expr₁, expr₂,…, expr_n</code> which are evaluated each in turn from first to last (unless the evaluation sequence is modified by by the <code>go</code>, <code>throw</code>, or <code>return</code> operators), and the value of the block expression is the value of <code>expr_n</code>. The main purpose of the <code>block</code> expression, regardless of the form, is to group expressions that are related in some manner, and the value of the last expression may be the only value of interest. However, there are very few limitations imposed on the nature of the <code>block</code> expression arguments, so it might be the case that the purpose of evaluating the <code>block</code> expression has been achieved before the last expression argument is evaluated, in which case the value of the <code>block</code> expression may not necessarily be the value of the last argument expression. One way to accomplish that is to use an empty string as the last argument expression with the option flag <code>stringdisp</code> set to <code>false</code> which is the default value.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i11) stringdisp; (%o11) false (%i12) block ([x,y], x : 3, y : 4, x, ""); (%o12) (%i13) block ([x,y], x : 3, y : 4, x)$ </syntaxhighlight> The display of the value of the <code>block</code> expression may be suppressed using a <code>$</code> to end the input expression instead of a semi-colon. Either technique produces a <code>block</code> expression value, but the value is not displayed. If a <code>return</code> operator is evaluated as a argument expression, this will cause evaluation of expression arguments to end explicitly, and the value of the <code>return</code> operator becomes the value of the <code>block</code> expression.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i14) is (equal (x, 2)); (%o14) true %i15) block (if is (equal (x, 2)) then return (x), " x not 2"); (%o15) 2 (%i16) x : 3; (x) 3 (%i17) block (if is (equal (x, 2)) then return (x), "x not 2"); (%o17) x not 2 </syntaxhighlight>When a <code>return</code> operator is evaluated within a <code>block</code> expression the result is to stop evaluation of expressions within the enclosing <code>block</code> expression and to return the value of its argument as the value of the enclosing <code>block</code> expression. It therefore can be compared with the <code>return</code> statement found in other programming languages, but with one difference: In Maxima, the <code>return</code> operator affects only the block expression in which the <code>return</code> operator is an expression, and has no effect otherwise.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i18) test_nested_block (val) := block ( [outer_var : 10], print("Entering outer block expression"), /* inner block expression */ block( [inner_var : 20], print (" Entering inner block expression"), if val > 5 then /* another inner block expression */ block ( print (" val > 5"), print (" Returning only to inner block expression"), return (inner_var + val) /* returns only to the inner block expression */ ), /* end of another inner block expression */ print (" inner_var + val is ", inner_var + val) ), /* end of inner block expression */ print ("Back in outer block expression"), outer_var + val /* end of outer block expression */ )$ (%i19) test_nested_block (1); Entering outer block expression Entering inner block expression inner_var + val is 21 Back in outer block expression (%o19) 11 (%i20) test_nested_block (6); Entering outer block expression Entering inner block expression val > 5 Returning only to inner block expression Back in outer block expression (%o20) 16</syntaxhighlight> '''''The <code>block</code> operators''''': Each instance may define local variables and has a comma-separated sequence of expressions as arguments. '''''Nested blocks''''': There are three <code>block</code> operators used in the right-hand side of the function definition expression named <code>test_nested_block (val</code>. There is an outer <code>block</code> expression that has an inner <code>block</code> expression as an argument,and there is a third <code>block</code> expression that is an argument of the inner <code>block</code> expression. '''''The <code>return</code> operator''''': If <code>val > 5</code> is <code>true</code> then the return operator of the most inner <code>block</code> expression is evaluated and evaluation of remaining expressions of that block expression does not occur. The value of that most inner <code>block</code> expression is the value of the argument of the return operator – <code>inner_var + val</code>. Evaluation of expressions continues with the first expression of the inner <code>block</code> expression after the end of the most inner <code>block</code> expression – which is <code>print ("   inner_var + val is ", inner_var + val)</code>. The value of the <code>print</code> operator is the value of <code>inner_var + val</code>. However, while that value is the value of the inner <code>block</code> expression it is effectively lost, as it is not the last expression of the outer <code>block</code> sequence of expressions. That value is the value of <code>outer_var + val</code>, which, being the last expression of the outer <code>block</code> is always the value of the function. ==== Block Expression Evaluation Sequence Modifications ==== <code>block</code> expression arguments <code>expr₁, expr₂,…, expr_n</code> are generally evaluated each in turn from first to last, and the value of the <code>block</code> expression is the value of <code>expr_n</code> unless this sequence is modified by some means. One way to modify the first-to-last expression evaluation sequence of a <code>block</code> expression is by way of a <code>go</code> operator with a ''label'' (or ''"tag"'') argument ( the ''"go to"'') as the following exemplifies:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i18) sum_to_n (n) := block ( [i : 1, total : 0], loop, total : total + i, i : i + 1, if i <= n then go (loop), total)$ (%i19) sum_to_n(25); (%o19) 325 (%i20) n; (%o20) n (%i21) i; (%o21) i (%i22) total; (%o22) total </syntaxhighlight> Note the following: * <code>'''block ([ i : 1,total : 0], ...)'''</code>: The list argument creates a local environment with local identifiers <code>i</code> and <code>total</code>. The function argument <code>n</code> is also a local identifier. * <code>'''loop'''</code>: This label serves as a target inside the <code>block</code> expression to where <code>go (loop)</code> can jump. * <code>'''if i <= n then go (loop)'''</code>: This conditional expression causes the <code>go (loop)</code> operator to be evaluated if the condition is <code>true</code>. * <code>'''total'''</code>: The value of this local identifier is the returned value of the <code>block</code> expression. It should also be worth noting that the identifiers <code>n</code>, <code>i</code>, and <code>total</code> have local values assigned within the <code>block</code> expression, but their global values are themselves. Also notice that the identifiers <code>i</code> and <code>total</code> were both declared local and assigned initial values within the <code>block</code> list argument. The ''go-to'' label argument of the <code>go</code> operator must be the name of a tag appearing within the same block expression. The <code>go</code> operator cannot be used to go to a tag in a different <code>block</code> expression. There is nothing special about the <code>loop</code> identifier name used for the go-to tag in this example. Other identifiers could be used, but they must be atomic. Another way to modify a <code>block</code> expression evaluation sequence is by way of the <code>throw</code> operator.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i32) /* Define a function using a block expression that searches for a specific condition and a throw value to catch */ find_element (target_list, threshold) := block ( [found_val : false], /* local identifier value */ catch( for x in target_list do ( if x > threshold then ( /* Immediately exit the block and return this value */ throw (x) ) ), /* This string is returned only if the do loop finishes without a throw to catch */ "No element exceeded the threshold" ) )$ (%i31) /* Test the block */ find_element ( [10, 20, 55, 80], 50 ); (%o31) 55</syntaxhighlight>This example unpacks as follows: <code>'''catch (...)'''</code>: This expression creates a target scope that ''"catches"'' the value of any <code>throw</code> expression evaluated within that scope. <code>'''throw (x)'''</code>: When Maxima encounters this operator, it immediately stops evaluation of the <code>do</code> loop expression '''''and the rest of the''''' <code>block</code> '''''expression.''''' It jumps directly out of the scope of the <code>catch</code> expression, returning the value of <code>x</code> as the value of the entire <code>catch</code> expression. ==== Nested Block Expressions ==== <code>block</code> operators may appear within other block expressions as arguments – '''''nested''''' <code>block</code> expressions. A local environment with local identifiers may be created for nested block expressions. Local values for identifiers, if declared by a first <code>block</code> operator list argument, are created each time a nested <code>block</code> is evaluated. However, identifiers with global values that have not been declared as local within any <code>block</code> expressions, are global values for nested <code>block</code> expressions as well as enclosing <code>block</code> expressions. Likewise, local identifiers of any enclosing <code>block</code> expression have values that are global within any enclosed blocks, if not declared as local within the enclosed block. If the value of an identifier is not local in a <code>block</code> expression, its value is the value most recently assigned by an enclosing <code>block</code> expression, if any value has been assigned. Otherwise, it is the value of the identifier in the global environment. <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i23) z : 2^(1/3); (z) 2^(1/3) (%i24) /* Outer block starts */ block ( [x : 10, y : 20], /* values of x and y declared local to outer block */ /* Inner block starts */ block ( [y : 99, z : 100], /* values of y and z declared local to inner block */ print ("Inside inner block:"), print ("x =", x, "is the value of x from outer block"), print ("y =", y, "is the local value of y of outer block"), print("z =", z, "is the local value of z of inner block") ), /* Inner block ends */ /* Outer block resumes */ print ("Back in outer block:"), print ("x =", x, "is the value of x from outer block"), print ("y =", y, "is the restored value of y of the outer block"), print ("z =", z, "is the value of z global to both blocks") /* Outer block ends */ )$ Inside inner block: x = 10 is the value of x from outer block y = 99 is the local value of y of outer block z = 100 is the local value of z of inner block Back in outer block: x = 10 is the value of x from outer block y = 20 is the restored value of y of the outer block z = 2^(1/3) is the value of z global to both blocks </syntaxhighlight> ==== Values, Properties, and the <code>local</code> Operator ==== The expression <code>local (v₁, v₂, ... , v_m)</code> within a <code>block</code> expression saves the '''''properties''''' associated with the symbols <code>v₁, v₂, ... , v_m</code>, removes any properties before evaluating other expressions, and restores any saved properties on exit from the block. Because Maxima is an application based on the Common Lisp programming language, it utilizes Lisp '''''symbol''''' structure. Lisp symbols are objects that carry their own "dictionary" of attributes. A Lisp symbol's internal property list (''plist'') is a built-in data structure attached directly to a symbol. Maxima uses this underlying Lisp symbol structure to associate '''''properties''''' with Maxima identifiers. Properties of identifiers can be ''declared explicitly'' by users. <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i23) declare (x, real); (%o23) done </syntaxhighlight> However, some identifier property declarations are ''implemented implicitly'' as properties of a symbol, including <code>:=</code>, <code>array</code>, <code>dependencies</code>, <code>atvalue</code>, <code>matchdeclare</code>, <code>atomgrad</code>, <code>constant</code>, <code>nonscalar</code>, <code>assume</code>, and some others. Below is a description of how each of those specific declarations is implemented as a property under the hood: ====== Functions and Arrays ====== * '''<code>:=</code> (Function Definition):''' When you define a function using <code>f(x) := x^2</code>, the actual expression (<code>x^2</code>) and its argument list (<code>x</code>) are stored as a property of the symbol <code>f</code>. * '''<code>array</code>:''' When you declare or use a subscripted array (like <code>a[i]</code>), the array type, dimensions, and memory pointer are attached as a property to the symbol <code>a</code>. This differentiates it from a standard scalar variable. ====== Calculus and Dependencies ====== * '''<code>dependencies</code>:''' If you declare <code>depends(y, x)</code>, Maxima attaches a dependency list property to <code>y</code> noting that it functionally depends on <code>x</code>. This tells the <code>diff</code> (differentiation) engine not to treat <code>y</code> as a constant relative to <code>x</code>. * '''<code>atvalue</code>:''' When you define a specific value for an expression at a boundary point (e.g., <code>atvalue(y, x=0, 1)</code>), this boundary constraint is stored as an evaluation property on the symbol <code>y</code>. * '''<code>atomgrad</code>:''' This assigns a specific gradient or derivative to an atomic identifier (e.g., telling Maxima what (df/dx) is explicitly). Maxima saves this rule as a gradient property on that symbol. ====== Pattern Matching and Rules ====== * '''<code>matchdeclare</code>:''' Used in Maxima's pattern-matching system (like <code>tellsimp</code>). When you type <code>matchdeclare(x, freeof(a))</code>, Maxima attaches a predicate property to <code>x</code>. When a pattern rule runs, Maxima looks at property list of <code>x</code> to see what conditions a matching expression must meet. ====== Mathematical and Evaluation Attributes ====== * '''<code>constant</code>:''' Declaring <code>declare(c, constant)</code> places a "constant" flag on property list of <code>c</code>. Core routines (like integration and differentiation) check this flag to know they can pull <code>c</code> out of integrals or differentiate it to zero. * '''<code>nonscalar</code>:''' Tells Maxima to treat a symbol as a matrix or vector rather than a regular number. This property changes how operators like <code>.</code> (non-commutative multiplication) treat the symbol. * '''<code>assume</code>:''' When an expression such as <code>assume(x > 0)</code> is used, Maxima's database system (<code>context</code>) assigns facts and properties (like <code>pos</code> or <code>nonnegative</code>) to the symbol <code>x</code>, allowing the simplifier to safely reduce expressions like <code>sqrt(x^2)</code> to <code>x</code>. The effect of the <code>local</code> operator is to make such declarations effective only within a <code>block</code> expression. Otherwise, declarations within a <code>block</code> expression are considered to be global declarations. So what does all of this mean to the typical Maxima user? It means that the list of identifiers that is the first argument of a <code>block</code> expression only declares the '''''values''''' of those identifiers as local to the <code>block</code> expression in which the list is an argument. Any properties of identifiers are not declared local by this means. In order to declare '''''properties''''' of identifiers to be local to a <code>block</code> expression, the <code>local</code> operator must be used as an expression within the <code>block</code> expression. At the point where the local operator is evaluated as an argument of a <code>block</code> expression, the properties of the identifiers that are arguments to the <code>local</code> operator become local to the block. It is not an unfair criticism that perhaps the <code>local</code> operator should have been named something like <code>local_properties</code>. <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i25) f (s) := cos (s); (%o25) f(s):=cos(s) (%i26) f (%pi/6); (%o26) sqrt(3)/2 (%i27) block (local (f), f (s) := sin (s), f (%pi/6)); (%o27) 1/2 (%i28) f (s); (%o28) cos(s) </syntaxhighlight>In the above example, the '''''properties''''' of identifier <code>f</code> were declared to be local in the <code>block</code> expression using the <code>local</code> operator. However, global properties of the identifier <code>f</code> were not affected by the local function definition of <code>f</code> in the <code>block</code> expression. The global definition expression of <code>f</code> which is <code>cos (s)</code> and the argument <code>s</code> were not affected by the local definition of <code>f</code> because the properties of <code>f</code> were declared local to the <code>block</code> expression. <code>block</code> expressions can be used for different purposes in the Maxima programming context. <code>block</code> expressions can be used in a stand-alone fashion or as part of an expression. However, <code>block</code> expressions are commonly used in expressions that define '''''functions''''', which is the topic that follows. === Functions === {| class="wikitable" |+Function Definition Operators and Identifiers |<code>:=</code> |<code>fundef</code> |<code>buildq</code> |- |<code>::=</code> |<code>lambda</code> |<code>macros</code> |- |<code>define</code> |<code>local</code> |<code>slice</code> |- |<code>dispfun</code> |<code>remfunction</code> | |- |<code>functions</code> |<code>setup_autoload</code> | |} As a technical term '''''function''''' is aptly characterized as being overloaded. In the context of Maxima as a CAS, it has both a programming meaning and a mathematical meaning in terms of usage. In this book, the convention is to refer to what may otherwise be referred to as built-in Maxima functions as ''operators'' including those of built-in packages. By this convention, the term '''''function''''' in this book refers exclusively to expressions composed by the user by way of the <code>:=</code> or <code>define</code> operators. As has been mentioned elsewhere in this book, what are conventionally termed ''operators'' that are built-in to Maxima, are at the level of underlying expression construction, Lisp procedures of one type or another. So it makes sense to simply refer to built-in Maxima functions and operators simply as operators one and all. This convention obviates the need for the repetitious use of qualifiers such as ''built-in Maxima'' and ''user-defined'' functions. There are two operators used to define functions as follows: # The <code>''''':='''''</code> operator # The <code>'''define'''</code> operator <var><code>f (x₁, x_2, ..., x_n) ''':=''' expr</code> <code>f</code> <code>[x₁, x_2, ..., x_n] ''':=''' expr</code> <code>f</code> <code>[x₁, x_2, ..., x_n](y₁, y₂, ..., y_m) ''':=''' expr</code></var> <code>define (f</code> <code>(x₁, x_2, …, x_n), expr)</code> <code>define (f</code> <code>[x₁, x_2, …, x_n], expr)</code> <code>define (f</code> <code>[x₁, x_2, …, x_n](y₁, y_2, …, y_m), expr)</code> <code>define (funmake (f, [</code><code>x₁, x_2, …, x_n]), expr)</code> <code>define (arraymake (f, [</code><code>x₁, x_2, …, x_n]), expr)</code> <code>define (ev (</code><code>expr₁, expr₂))</code> where <code>expr</code> is some Maxima expression that is commonly referred to as the ''function body''. As can be concluded from the above, each of these operators has different forms of syntax that can be used. In any case, the most significant differences between these two operators are in terms of the evaluation of the function body and the composition and identification of functions dynamically. * '''Evaluation:''' ** The <code>:=</code> operator '''suppresses (quotes)''' the evaluation of the function body when this operator is first evaluated. It does not evaluate or simplify the function body until the function identifier itself is evaluated with arguments. ** The <code>define()</code> operator '''evaluates''' the function body when this operator is first evaluated. If the function body involves intermediate computations, substituted values, or extracted parts of expressions (like <code>rhs()</code> or derivative results), the <code>define()</code> operator includes the evaluated results of those directly into the function body. * '''Dynamic Function Composition and Identifiers:''' ** Function identifiers cannot easily be composed dynamically on the left-hand side of the <code>:=</code> operator when used inside programmatic loop expressions or in scripts. ** The <code>define()</code> operator accepts expressions like <code>funmake</code> or evaluated symbols as its first argument, allowing the composition and identification of functions dynamically during evaluation. So, there are in general two different operators that can be used to define and evaluate functions. The choice by the Maxima user between these two operators depends on the purpose and context. ==== Function Definition Using the <code>:=</code> Operator ==== For the purpose of understanding the two ways of defining functions, consider the following example which is elementary, but in terms of clarification is not merely simple:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* "kill" all previously used identifier and values */ (%i29) kill (all); (%o0) done /* assign identifier x the global value of 5 */ (%i1) x : 5; (x) 5 /* define f as a function with local argument x */ (%i2) f (x) := x; (%o2) f(x):=x /* evaluate f at local value of x is 3 */ (%i3) f (3); (%o3) 3 /* the global value of x is not affected */ (%i4) x; (%o4) 5 /* show the definition expression of the function named f */ (%i5) fundef (f); (%o5) f(x):=x</syntaxhighlight>'''Function Definition Using the''' '''<code>define</code> Operator'''<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* define a function with identifier g with a local argument y and with a function body of identifier x */ (%i3) define (g('x), x); (%o3) g(x):=5 /* identifier x of the function body is evaluated */ /* identifier x as an argument of g is local in scope */ (%i4) fundef (g); (%o4) g(x):=5 /* the same identifier x used in three different roles */ /* used as the global name of a function x */ /* used as a local argument of a function */ /* used as an unevaluated expression for a function body */ (%i7) x(x) := x; (%o7) x(x):=x (%i9) x(3); (%o9) 3 (%i10) x; (%o10) 5 (%i8) fundef (x); (%o8) x(x):=x (%i11) define (x('x), x); (%o11) x(x):=5 (%i12) fundef (x); (%o12) x(x):=5 </syntaxhighlight>The purpose of this example is not to encourage this sort of syntax as a typical choice for identifiers and function definitions. The purpose is to clarify how Maxima implicitly determines the scope and meaning of identifiers used for function definition in the absence of any explicit user stipulations. It should be noted that the <code>define</code> operator not only evaluates the expression that is the function body, it also evaluates the arguments of the function identifier that is the first argument of the <code>define</code> operator. Since there is a global value of the identifier <code>x</code> of <code>5</code>, it was necessary to suppress evaluation (quote) the argument in the expression <code>(%i12) define ('x), x);</code> as otherwise an error would be the result:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* define a new function named x */ (%i14) define (x('x), 'x^2); (%o14) x(x):=x^2 /* check the definition of the new function named x */ (%i15) fundef (x); (%o15) x(x):=x^2 /* the identifier x has a global value */ (%i16) values; (%o16) [x] /* the global value of identifier x is 5 */ (%i17) x; (%o17) 5 /* the suppressed global value 'x of identifier x is x */ (%i18) 'x; (%o18) x /* not quoting the global value of identifier x is an error */ (%i19) define (x(x), 'x^2); define: in definition of x, parameter must be a symbol and must not be a system constant; found: 5 -- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true); </syntaxhighlight> ==== Understanding the Differences Between the <code>:=</code> and <code>define</code> Operators ==== In cases such as these, the suppression of evaluation by quoting is a user stipulation as to evaluation. Users must be aware of these differences between the two operators (<code>:=</code> and <code>define</code>) for the purpose of function definition in order to achieve what is intended and to avoid errors,<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i20) f (x) := 3*x^3 + 4*x - 5; (%o20) f(x):=3*x^3+4*x-5 (%i21) fundef (f); (%o21) f(x):=3*x^3+4*x-5 (%i22) f(2); (%o22) 27 (%i23) define (f (x) , 3*x^3 + 4*x - 5); define: in definition of f, parameter must be a symbol and must not be a system constant; found: 5 -- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true); (%i24) define (f ('x) , 3*x^3 + 4*x - 5); (%o24) f(x):=390 (%i25) define (f ('x) , '(3*x^3 + 4*x - 5)); (%o25) f(x):=3*x^3+4*x-5 (%i26) fundef (f); (%o26) f(x):=3*x^3+4*x-5 (%i27) f(2); (%o27) 27 </syntaxhighlight>What is true in the case of these elementary examples is true in general for function definitions involving multiple arguments:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* x has a global value of 5 while y is local to g */ (%i28) g (x, y) := x^3 - y^2; (%o28) g(x,y):=x^3-y^2 (%i29) g (6,2); (%o29) 212 (%i30) define (g('x, y), 'x^3 - y^2); (%o30) g(x,y):=x^3-y^2 (%i31) values; (%o31) [x] (%i32) g (6,2); (%o32) 212 </syntaxhighlight>The <code>define</code> operator is a good choice in cases where an existing expression is used as the function body:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i33) /* assign an expression to identifier expr */ expr : diff('x^3, 'x); /* Returns 3*x^2 */ (expr) 3*x^2 (%i34) /* evaluate expr and define h (x) := 3*x^2 */ define (h ('x), expr); (%o34) h(x):=3*x^2 </syntaxhighlight>In cases in which functions require local variables or more than one expression for the function body, use the block operator:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i35) remvalue (x); (%o35) [x] (%i36) values; (%o36) [expr] --> power_sum (x, y) := block ( /* values of these identifiers are explicitly local to the function */ [sqx, sqy], /* unevaluated identifiers x and y are local arguments of the function and values of these identifiers are implicitly local to the function */ sqx : x^2, sqy : y^2, sqx + sqy /* the value of the function */ )$ (%i37) fundef (power_sum); (%o37) power_sum(x,y):=block([sqx,sqy],sqx:x^2,sqy:y^2,sqx+sqy) (%i38) power_sum (3,4); (%o38) 25 </syntaxhighlight>The <code>define</code> operator could also be used to define this function, but with different definition values as a consequence:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i39) define (power_sum (x,y), block ( [sqx,sqy], sqx : x^2, sqy : y^2, sqx + sqy ) )$ (%i40) fundef (power_sum); (%o40) power_sum(x,y):=y^2+x^2 (%i41) power_sum (3,4); (%o41) 25</syntaxhighlight>The function definition of <code>power_sum</code> is different using the <code>define</code> operator instead of the <code>:=</code> operator. The value of the function when referenced with arguments (<code>power_sum (3,4)</code>) is the same in both cases – <code>25</code>. However, in general for defining functions, this may not be the case. The choice between these two operators depends on the intentions of the user. ==== Practical Considerations Related to Function Composition ==== In general, programming is a technical skill as well as a subjective art. So, absolute rules are not offered here. For practical purposes some "guidelines" are offered here that may be useful for Maxima function composition as well as Maxima programming in general: * * * * * Consider the following linear algebraic equation: <math display="block">3y - 7x = 10</math> As an example suppose the value that is sought is the slope <code>m</code> of this equation, and in general, the slope of any linear equation regardless of the form. <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* assign the linear equation to an identifier */ (%i42) lineqn : 3*y - 7*x = 10; (lineqn) 3*y-7*x=10 /* solve the linear equation for y */ (%i43) solve([lineqn], [y]) (%o43) [y=(7*x+10)/3] /* use the index [1] of the list to get the solved equation */ (%i44) solve([lineqn], [y])[1] (%o44) y=(7*x+10)/3 /* use the rhs operator to get right-hand side */ (%i45) rhs(solve([lineqn], [y])[1]); (%o45) (7*x+10)/3 /* use the expand operator change the RHS */ (%i46) expand(rhs(solve([lineqn], [y])[1])); (%o46) (7*x)/3+10/3 /* use the coeff operator to get the coefficient of x */ (%i47) coeff(expand(rhs(solve([lineqn], [y])[1])),x,1); (%o47) 7/3 /* define the function with an argument eqn for lineqn */ (%i48) m (eqn) := coeff (expand (rhs (solve ([eqn], [y])[1])),x,1)$ /* check the function definition */ (%i49) fundef (m); (%o49) m(eqn):=coeff(expand(rhs((solve([eqn],[y]))[1])),x,1) /* reference the function using lineqn as an argument */ (%i50) m (lineqn); (%o50) 7/3 /* assign a different linear equation to lineqn */ (%i51) lineqn : x = 6*y + 13; (lineqn) x=6*y+13 /* reference the function using lineqn as an argument */ %i52) m (lineqn); (%o52) 1/6</syntaxhighlight>The function body of this example will result in an error if it is used with the <code>define</code> operator:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i53) define ( m (eqn), coeff (expand (rhs (solve ([eqn], [y])[1])),x,1) )$ inpart: invalid index 1 of list or matrix. -- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true); </syntaxhighlight>This error is a consequence of the evaluation that occurs when using the <code>define</code> operator. In this case, this evaluation results in a reference to the indexed value of a list object that does not exist when evaluation occurs during definition – <code>solve ([eqn], [y])[1]</code>. ==== Memoizing Functions ==== The functions discussed so far are often referred to as '''''ordinary functions'''''. The arguments of ordinary functions are enclosed using parentheses – <var><code>(x₁, x_2, ..., x_n)</code>.</var> Function definition forms which include arguments enclosed by brackets (as in <var><code>[x₁, x_2, ..., x_n]</code></var>) are called '''''memoizing functions'''''. Memoizing functions can be categorized both as functions and as data structures – specifically a ''hashed array'' of values. Memoizing functions are also referred to as '''''array functions'''''. In any case, memoizing functions can be defined using either the <code>:=</code> operator or the <code>define</code> operator. If the form of the function definition expression is <code>f [x₁, x₂,..., x_n] := expr</code> The function body <code>expr</code> is evaluated once for each individual value of the arguments, and that value is the value of the function, without again evaluating the function body, whenever referenced using arguments that have those same values. Once evaluated during a function reference with arguments, that value of a memoizing function is thereby "frozen" in other words. This frozen value also becomes an instance of a hashed array data structure that can be referenced by way of the value of the index used as an argument when first evaluated. In keeping with previous practice, the examples provided here are intentionally elementary for the purpose of demonstrating and clarifying the technical aspects involved. There is thereby no intention to convey that the composition of function definition expressions with multiple arguments and complex expressions for the function body is ruled out or of lesser practical value. <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* define a memoizing function f */ /* x and n may serve as both arguments and array indices */ (%i54) f [x, n] := x^n; (%o54) f[x,n]:=x^n /* check the array information for f */ (%i55) arrayinfo (f); (%o55) [hashed,2] /* f does not appear in the list of functions */ (%i56) functions; (%o56) [m(lineqn)] /* reference f with argument values */ (%i57) f [2,3] ; (%o57) 8 /* check the array information for f again */ (%i58) arrayinfo (f); (%o58) [hashed,2,[2,3]] /* list the array values of f */ (%i59) listarray (f); (%o59) [8] /* f does appear in the list of arrays */ (%i60) arrays; (%o60) [f] /* reference f with new argument values */ (%i61) f [5,2]; (%o61) 25 /* check the array information for f again */ (%i62) arrayinfo (f); (%o62) [hashed,2,[2,3],[5,2]] /* list the array values of f */ (%i63) listarray (f); (%o63) [8,25]</syntaxhighlight>An expression of the form <code>define (f [x1, x2</code><code>,…, xn], expr)</code> may also be used to define the same memoizing function <code>f</code> in this case as the evaluation imposed by the <code>define</code> operator during evaluation of these function arguments and this function body that occurs makes no difference:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* remove the function definition and values of f */ (%i64) remarray (f); (%o64) [f] /* the list of arrays is now empty */ (%i65) arrays; (%o65) [] /* define the same memoizing function f using the define operator */ /* evaluation makes no difference to the definition of f in this case */ (%i66) define (f [x,n], x^n); (%o66) f[x,n]:=x^n /* reference f with different argument values */ (%i67) f [3, 2]; (%o67) 9 /* reference f again with different argument values */ (%i68) f [2, 5]; (%o68) 32 /* f again appears in the list of arrays */ (%i69) arrays; (%o69) [f] /* check the array information for f */ (%i70) arrayinfo (f); (%o70) [hashed,2,[2,5],[3,2]] /* list the array values of f */ (%i71) listarray (f); (%o71) [32,9] </syntaxhighlight> ===== Special Forms of Memoizing Functions ===== <code>f [x₁, x₂,..., x_n](y₁, y₂,..., y_m):= expr</code> or <code>define (f</code> <code>[x₁, x_2, …, x_n](y₁, y_2, …, y_m), expr)</code> An expression of the form <code>f [x₁, x₂,..., x_n](y₁, y₂,..., y_m):= expr</code>, or alternatively of the form <code>define (f [x1, x2</code><code>,…, xn](y₁, y₂,..., y_m), expr)</code>, may also be used to define a memoizing function named <code>f</code>. When either of these forms are used to compose a function definition expression, there is a sense in which the resulting function is a hybrid – part memoizing function, and part "ordinary" function. These forms create a hashed array of functions where the array subscripts <code>[x₁, x₂,..., x_n]</code> evaluate immediately to "specialize" the function body, while the ordinary function arguments <code>(y₁, y₂,..., y_m)</code> are used when evaluating these individual functions.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* Define a function for an array of "shifted" power functions */ (%i72) define( p[n](x), x^n + n ); (%o72) p[n](x):=x^n+n (%i73) p[2]; (%o73) lambda([x],x^2+2) (%i74) p[2](5); (%o74) 27 (%i75) p[4]; (%o75) lambda([x],x^4+4) (%i76) p[4](5); (%o76) 629 (%i77) arrayinfo (p); (%o77) [hashed,1,[2],[4]] (%i78) listarray (p) (%o78) [lambda([x],x^2+2),lambda([x],x^4+4)] (%i79) p[5]; (%o79) lambda([x],x^5+5) (%i80) p[5](2); (%o80) 37 (%i81) listarray (p); (%o81) [lambda([x],x^2+2),lambda([x],x^4+4),lambda([x],x^5+5)] (%i82) arrayinfo (p); (%o82) [hashed,1,[2],[4],[5]]</syntaxhighlight>'''Explanation of the code example:''' '''1. Defining the memoizing function:''' The expression composed using the <code>define</code> operator has a value that defines a special form of a memoizing function. The value of this defining expression serves as a "template" for indexed values of a hashed array – <code>p[n]</code>. '''2. The value of array instances:''' Applying the defined function <code>p</code> to an expression enclosed only with brackets for the argument identified as <code>n</code>, returns a value that is a <code>lambda</code> expression, and that is an indexed instance of a hashed array. The identifier <code>n</code> serves as both as an argument of the function body and as an index of the hashed array in this case. <code>lambda</code> expressions are sometimes referred to as ''anonymous'', ''ad hoc'', or ''throw-away''. The technical details of <code>lambda</code> expressions are explained in a following section. '''3. Evaluating the memoizing functions with arguments:''' The argument identified as <code>x</code> in parentheses serves only as part of the composition of the function body of the indexed <code>lambda</code> expressions of the hashed array <code>p</code> when referenced by some expression in parentheses. This form of the composition of a Maxima memoizing function is useful to create an array of unique <code>lambda</code> expressions where the composition of each individual expression depends explicitly on the structural indices of the array that are used. This form in general can be composed using more than one argument for index values enclosed in brackets, as well more than one evaluation argument enclosed in parentheses. The number of each type of argument need not be the same. For example, in a defining expression of the form: <code>f [x₁, x₂,..., x_n](y₁, y₂,..., y_m):= expr</code>, that <math display="inline">n = m</math> is true, is not necessary. The operator <code>:=</code> can also be used to define this type of memoizing function:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* index values can be expressions */ (%i83) p [2*x]; (%o83) lambda([x],x^(2*x)+2*x) (%i84) p [2*x](4); (%o84) 65544 /* a memoizing function definition with multiple arguments */ (%i85) p2 [m, n](x, y) := x^n + y^m + (m+n); (%o85) p2[m,n](x,y):=x^n+y^m+(m+n) /* this expression creates the first indexed value of a hashed array identified as p2 */ (%i86) p2 [2, 2]; (%o86) lambda([x,y],y^2+x^2+4) /* this expression has a value of 17 for values of the arguments (2, 3) for the first indexed values of [2, 2] of a hashed array identified as p2 */ (%i87) p2 [2, 2](2,3); (%o87) 17 /* this expression creates the second indexed value of a hashed array identified as p2 */ (%i88) p2 [3, 4]; (%o88) lambda([x,y],y^3+x^4+7) /* this expression has a value of 213 for values of the arguments (3, 5) for the second indexed values of [3, 4] of a hashed array identified as p2 */ (%i89) p2 [3, 4](3, 5); (%o89) 213 (%i90) arrayinfo (p2); (%o90) [hashed,2,[2,2],[3,4]] (%i91) arrayinfo (p); (%o91) [hashed,1,[2],[4],[5],[2*x]] /* another memoizing function definition with multiple arguments and where n is not erqual to m */ (%i92) p3 [i, j](x, y, z) := x^i * y^j * z^j; (%o92) p3[i,j](x,y,z):=x^i*y^j*z^j (%i93) p3 [3,4]; (%o93) lambda([x,y,z],x^3*y^4*z^4) (%i94) p3 [3, 4] (2, 3, 4); (%o94) 165888 (%i95) arrayinfo (p3); (%o95) [hashed,2,[3,4]] (%i96) arrays; (%o96) [p,p2,p3] (%i97) listarray (p3); (%o97) [lambda([x,y,z],x^3*y^4*z^4)] </syntaxhighlight> ===== More Special Forms of Memoizing Functions Using the <code>define</code> Operator ===== <code>define (funmake (f, [x₁, x_2,…, x_n]), expr)</code> or <code>define (arraymake (f, [x₁, x_2,…, x_n]), expr)</code> or <code>define (ev (expr₁, expr₂))</code> ==== Lambda Expressions ==== ==== Macros – <code>::=</code> and <code>buildq</code> Operators ==== In the Maxima Computer Algebra System (CAS), a '''''macro''''' is a special type of function that manipulates the structure of an expression before it is evaluated. The Maxima Manual describes ''macros''<ref>{{Cite web |title=Maxima Manual - Operator ::= |url=https://maxima.sourceforge.io/docs/manual/Operators.html#index-_003a_003a_003d |url-status=live}}</ref> as follows: ''"Macro function definition operator.'' <code>::=</code> ''defines a function (called a "macro" for historical reasons) which quotes its arguments, and the expression which it returns (called the "macro expansion") is evaluated in the context from which the macro was called. A macro function is otherwise the same as an ordinary function."'' {| class="wikitable" |+Macro Operators and Identifiers |<code>::=</code> |<code>macroexpand</code> |<code>macros</code> |<code>splice</code> |- |<code>fundef</code> | <code>dispfun</code> | <code>buildq</code> | |- |<code>remfunction</code> |<code>kill</code> |<code>remove</code> | |}While ordinary Maxima functions evaluate their arguments immediately when referenced, a ''macro'' quotes its arguments. It treats those arguments as raw, not evaluated expression blocks, ''transforms'' them mathematically or syntactically, and then <code>evaluates</code> the newly generated code. Because Maxima is written in and inherits the semantics of Common Lisp, its macro system acts similarly to Lisp macros, functioning essentially as a programmable compiler extension. Key Mechanics of a Maxima Macro * '''Definition Operator (<code>::</code>=):''' You define a macro using the <code>::=</code> operator instead of the ordinary function definition operator (<code>:=</code>). * '''The Global <code>macros</code> List:''' Every time you create a macro, Maxima automatically tracks it by appending it to a global information list called <code>macros</code>. * '''Macro Expansion:''' When a macro is invoked, Maxima executes a process called ''expansion''. The macro code runs to generate a new Maxima expression, and then Maxima evaluates that final output expression. ====== Some Reasons to Use a Macro Instead of a Function: ====== Ordinary functions cannot control how or when arguments are evaluated. Macros are a good choice for: # '''Evaluation Control:''' Preventing an expression from being evaluated until specific conditional statements are checked. # '''Meta-programming:''' Writing clean, shorthand code that automatically generates longer, repetitive mathematical boilerplate expressions "under the hood" so to speak. # '''Context Manipulation:''' Altering identifiers inside the environment where referenced rather than within a closed, localized function scope. ====== Example: Function vs. Macro ====== <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* an ordinary function definition expression */ (%i98) a_function (expr) := print( "The expression is: ", expr)$ (%i99) x : 5; (x) 5 /* An ordinary function evaluates arguments when referenced */ (%i100) a_function (x + 2)$ The expression is: 7 /* This expression has the same value as the above */ (%i101) a_function (expr : x + 2)$ The expression is: 7 /* A macro quotes its arguments and controls execution */ (%i102) a_macro (expr) ::= buildq ( [expr], print ("The expression is: ", 'expr) )$ (%i103) a_macro (x + 2); The expression is: x+2 (%o103) x+2 (%i104) a_macro (expr : x + 2); The expression is: expr:x+2 (%o104) expr:x+2 /* a macro function expression does not evaluate the argument */ (%i105) a_macro (expr : 2); The expression is: expr:2 (%o105) expr:2 /* the macros identifier lists defined macros */ (%i106) macros; (%o106) [a_macro(expr)] </syntaxhighlight>To "quote" ( <code>'</code> ) an expression is to suppress evaluation. The above example provides some insight into the value of the argument that a function references compared to the value of the argument that a macro references. Maxima macros (and Lisp as well) are an example of the fact that expressions can be used as data – which is referred to as '''''homoiconicity'''''. The typical purpose of using macros is to reference expressions as arguments and have as a value of the macro a different expression, which has been evaluated instead. To understand the difference, consider how a function and a macro handle a identifier named <code>x</code>: * If <code>a_function(x + 2)</code> is referenced when <code>x</code> has been previously assigned a value of <code>5</code>, the function immediately receives <code>7</code> as the value of the argument expression. * If <code>a_macro(x + 2)</code>, is referenced the macro receives the exact symbolic structure <code>x + 2</code> as the value of the argument expression without evaluating it first, allowing manipulation of the literal algebraic format. Expression templates like <code>buildq</code> are frequently used inside macros to compose new mathematical expressions. On the surface, a macro functions does not appear to be different than an ordinary function – both are expressions that have values if referenced using arguments. The difference involves the point in the processing of the expression as to what is evaluated when referenced and when. In short, The ordinary function processes evaluated arguments while the macro uses unevaluated arguments to reshape the process of composing the returned value. ====== Two Other Simple Examples ====== Simple macros are typically used to create shorthand syntax, control evaluation, or mimic standard programming constructs like in-place modification. '''Example''' '''1: In-place Increment''' In Maxima, there is no built-in <code>x++</code> or <code>x : x + 1</code> when <code>x</code> is referenced as an argument of an ordinary function. Using a macro, an identifier can be referenced as an argument without evaluating it, modify it, and then reassign it.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* macro definition expression */ (%i107) incm (var) ::= buildq ([var], var : var + 1); (%o108) incm(var)::=buildq([var],var:var+1) /* Usage */ (%i109) x : 10; (x) 10 (%i110) incm (x); (%o110) 11 /* x is now 11 */ (%i111) x; (%o111) 11</syntaxhighlight>An ordinary function would evaluate <code>x</code> to <code>10</code> immediately, passing the number <code>10</code> to the function. Consequently, an ordinary function cannot assign a new value to the raw identifier <code>x</code>.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">/* function definition expression */ (%i112) incf(var) := buildq([var], var : var + 1); (%o112) incf(var):=buildq([var],var:var+1) (%i113) incf (x); (%o113) 11:12 /* x is still 11 */ (%i114) x; (%o114) 11</syntaxhighlight>'''Example 2: Unless Conditional''' <code>(unless_then)</code> A macro for a custom control flow that evaluates a body of expressions only if a condition is <code>false</code>.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* definition expression for the macro */ (%i115) unless_then(cond, body) ::= buildq([cond, body], if not cond then body)$ /* usage */ (%i115) is_raining : false; (is_raining) false (%i116) unless_then(is_raining, print("Let's go for a walk!"))$ Let's go for a walk! </syntaxhighlight> ====== Some Complex Macro Examples ====== Complex macros often use <code>buildq</code> (build quotation) alongside loop structures to dynamically generate heavily nested code, unroll repetitive operations, or create entirely new domain-specific syntax. '''Example 1: Parallel Assignment''' <code>(psetq)</code> This macro mimics parallel assignment as in Lisp. It takes a list of identifiers and a list of values, evaluating all values first before assigning them to prevent identifiers from overwriting each other mid-process (useful for swapping identifiers).<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i117) psetq ([args]) ::= block ( [len, vars, vals, gensyms, assignments, final_assigns], len : length (args), if oddp (len) then error ("psetq requires an even number of arguments"), /* Separate variables and expressions */ vars : makelist (args[i], i, 1, len, 2), vals : makelist (args[i], i, 2, len, 2), /* Create unique temporary identifiers to hold the evaluated values safely */ gensyms : makelist (gensym (), i, 1, length (vars)), /* 1. Evaluate expressions into temporary identifiers */ assignments : makelist (buildq ([g: gensyms[i], v: vals[i]], g: v), i, 1, length (vars) ), /* 2. Assign temporary identifiers back to target identifiers */ final_assigns : makelist (buildq([v : vars[i], g : gensyms[i]], v : g), i, 1, length (vars)), /* Return a block containing both steps sequentially */ buildq ([assignments, final_assigns], block ( splice (assignments), splice (final_assigns) ) ) )$ (%i118) x : 5$ (%i119) y : 10$ (%i120) psetq(x, y, y, x)$ (%i121) print("x =", x, "y =", y)$ "x ="5"y ="10 </syntaxhighlight>Key Concept: <code>splice</code> is used here inside <code>buildq</code> to unpack the list of generated assignment expressions directly into the <code>block(...)</code> expression so it executes as raw, flat sequential code. '''Example 2: Memoized Timing Wrapper''' <code>(time_and_cache)</code> This macro wraps an "expensive" mathematical calculation. It checks if a global cache has the result; if not, it prints a timing message, computes the result, saves the result to a hashed array, and returns the value.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i122) time_and_cache (cache_name, key, expr) ::= buildq ( [cache_name, key, expr], block ( [cached_val], cached_val : cache_name[key], if cached_val # false then ( print("Cache Hit!"), cached_val ) else ( print ("Cache Miss. Computing..."), block ( [start_t, result], start_t : absolute_real_time(), result : expr, print("Elapsed time:", absolute_real_time() - start_t, "seconds"), cache_name[key] : result, result ) ) ) )$ (%i123) time_and_cache (my_cache, "heavy_sum", sum (k^2, k, 1, 100000)); Cache Miss. Computing... Elapsed time:"0"seconds (%o123) 333338333350000 (%i124) time_and_cache (my_cache, "heavy_sum", sum (k^2, k, 1, 100000)); Cache Hit! (%o124) 333338333350000 </syntaxhighlight>'''Core Macro Operators:''' As the need for relatively more complex macros arises, users will likely find that the following three operators are useful: 1. <code>buildq([substitutions], expression)</code>: Safely substitutes identifiers into a quoted expression template. 2. <code>splice(list)</code>: Flattens a list within a <code>buildq</code> template, removing the outer list bracket tags. 3. <code>gensym()</code>: Generates a completely unique identifier name (e.g., g1234) to prevent macro internal variables from inadvertently conflicting with identifiers of the main program. ==== Optional Arguments ==== Maxima functions can be defined with optional arguments. In Maxima, enclosing an argument in square brackets in a function definition allows the function to accept an arbitrary number of arguments. When the defined function is referenced with arguments, the argument identifier enclosed by the brackets has a value of a Maxima list containing all passed arguments. A variadic function is a function that accepts a variable number of arguments – zero, one, or many arguments<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i125) g([y]) := ( disp (sconcat (length(y), " optional arguments")), y ); (%125) g([y]):=(disp(sconcat(length(y)," optional arguments")),y) (%i126) g (1,2,3); 3 optional arguments (%o126) [1,2,3] /* the value of y is a list of the arguments */ (%i127) g (x^2,y^2,z^2); 3 optional arguments (%o127) [x^2,y^2,z^2] (%i128) g ([]); 1 optional arguments (%o128) [[]] (%i129) length ( [[]] ); (%o129) 1 /* the value of y is a list of an empty list */</syntaxhighlight> This form of function composition may include one or more required arguments as exemplified below:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* c is a required argument */ (%i130) h (c, [vars]) := ( disp(sconcat(length(vars)," optional arguments")), [vars, c] ); (%o130) h(c,[vars]):=(disp(sconcat(length(vars)," optional arguments")),[vars,c]) (%i131) h (5, x,y,z); 3 optional arguments (%o131) [[x,y,z],5] /* the value of vars is the list [x,y,z] */ /* 6 is the value of the required argument and all other argument values are in the list identified as vars */ (%i132) h (6, a,b,c,d,e); 5 optional arguments (%o132) [[a,b,c,d,e],6] /* the function h can be referenced with no optional arguments */ (%i133) h(6); 0 optional arguments (%o133) [[],6] /* the value of vars is the empty list [] */ </syntaxhighlight>If a function defined with one or more required arguments is referenced with more arguments than the required number of arguments, the excess argument values are of the optional list.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i134) sum_of_squares ([vals]) := block ( apply ("+", map (lambda([x], x^2), vals) ) )$ (%i135) sum_of_squares(2, 3); (%o135) 13 (%i136) sum_of_squares(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); (%o136) 55 (%i137) sum_of_squares(); (%o137) 0 (%i138) tagged_list (prefix, [rest]) := cons (prefix, rest)$ (%i139) tagged_list (root, a, b, c); (%o139) [root,a,b,c] </syntaxhighlight> ====== Understanding Block and Function Argument Expressions and Possible Side Affects ====== Consider the example of the following expressions:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* assign global values to identifiers a and c */ (%i140) a : %pi; (%o140) %pi (%i141) c : %e; (%o141) %e /* identifiers a and c are local to this block expression */ /* assign local values to a and c */ /* the value of the block is a list of the values of a and c */ (%i142) block ([a : 3, c : a], [a, c]); (%o142) [3,%pi] /* global values of identifiers a and c are unchanged */ (%i143) c; (%o143) %e (%i144) a; (%o144) %pi </syntaxhighlight>Notice that argument <code>a</code> was assigned a value of <code>3</code>, and that argument <code>c</code> was assigned the value of <code>a</code> in <code>%i142</code>. However, the list of <code>%o142</code> that is the value of the block shows the value of <code>c</code> as <code>%pi</code> and not <code>3</code>. The reason for this result is that the expressions of the list of local arguments of the block expression are not evaluated in "series" so to speak. Instead they are evaluated independently in "parallel" before they are referenced as local values in the expression of the block – which in this example is simply a list of their values. Consider how this behavior is described in the Maxima Manual<ref>{{Cite web |title=Maxima Manual 32.2.1 - Ordinary functions |url=https://maxima.sourceforge.io/docs/manual/Function-Definition.html#Ordinary-functions}}</ref>:<blockquote>''"Note that the assignments in the block variables, are done in parallel. This means, that if you had used c : a in the above, the value of c would have been the value of a at the time you just entered the block, but before a was bound."'' </blockquote>This is precisely the behavior that is exemplified by the expression above. The declared local argument <code>a</code> is assigned a value of <code>3</code>. The declared local argument <code>c</code> is assigned the value of <code>a</code>, but the value of <code>a</code> at this point in the evaluation process is not <code>3</code>. Rather it is the value of the global identifier <code>a</code> which is <code>%pi</code>. Note that the values of the global identifiers <code>a</code> and <code>c</code> are unchanged by the block expression – <code>a</code> is <code>%pi</code> and <code>c</code> is <code>%e</code>. This behavior is important to recognize as functions behave in a fashion that is similar to this <code>block</code> expression example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> (%i145) f (x) := x; (%o145) f(x):=x (%i146) f(1); (%o146) 1 /* this block expression will have the same value as f if x = 1 is true */ (%i147) block ([x : 1], x); (%o147) 1 </syntaxhighlight>When using assignment expressions as arguments of defined functions, it is important to recognize that there exists the potential to change the values of global identifiers:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* assign global identifier a a value of 3 */ (%i148) x : 3; (%o148) 3 /* define an ordinary function f */ (%i149) f (x) := x^2; (%o149) f(x):=x^2 /*reference function f with an assignment expression as an argument */ (%i150) f (x : a); (%o150) %pi^2 /* the global value of identifier x from 3 to %pi has been changed */ (%i151) x; (%o151) %pi /* the global value of identifier a is not changed */ (%i152) a; (%o152) %pi </syntaxhighlight>If it is necessary to referenced the value of a global identifier by name as the argument to a function, side effects of this sort can be avoided by using an expression similar to the following:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima"> /* reference the function f with the argument assignment expression x : x */ (%i153) f (x : x); (%o153) %pi^2 /* the value of the global identifier x is not changed */ (%i154) x; (%o154) %pi </syntaxhighlight>The effect of the value of the expression <code>x : x</code> is to assign the local argument of <code>x</code> the value of the global identifier <code>x</code>, which is <code>%pi</code>, which is not changed. It is this local value of <code>x</code> that is used to evaluate the function body.

However, the system has faced several problems, including frequent outages, aging equipment, financial difficulties, slow disaster recovery, and disagreements about how the system should be managed. For many years, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) operated the island’s electricity system. Before Hurricane Maria struck in September 2017, PREPA already faced problems with old equipment, expensive fuel, limited maintenance, and large amounts of debt. Hurricanes Irma and Maria exposed these weaknesses and caused widespread damage to the power grid (Sotomayor, 2020; Government of Puerto Rico, 2018). Since the hurricanes, Puerto Rico has tried to repair the grid while also changing how it is managed. Private companies have taken over certain operations, the federal government has provided recovery funding, and communities have explored renewable energy and battery storage. However, these changes have not solved every problem. For example, government reports have continued to identify power outages and delays in completing recovery projects (Congressional Research Service [CRS], 2025; U.S. Government Accountability Office [GAO], 2026). This casebook examines the tension at the heart of Puerto Rico's grid recovery: How to fundamentally overhaul a failing infrastructure network without interrupting the daily electricity service that hospitals, homes, and businesses rely on to survive. <mapframe latitude="18.318026" longitude="-66.269531" zoom="8" width="530" height="389" text="Map of Puerto Rico" align="center" /> === Hurricane Maria and the Failure of the Power Grid === Puerto Rico’s power grid already had serious weaknesses before Hurricane Maria struck on September 20, 2017. Hurricane Irma had passed near the island earlier that month, damaging electricity, water, and communication systems. Maria then caused much more widespread damage, leaving many residents without electricity for long periods (Sotomayor, 2020). One problem was the way electricity was produced and transported across the island. Many major power plants were located in southern Puerto Rico, while much of the electricity demand was in the north. Only a limited number of high-voltage transmission lines connected these areas. This made the system vulnerable because damage to a major transmission line could prevent electricity from reaching communities that needed it (Sotomayor, 2020). For example, if a major power plant in the south stopped working during a hurricane, the remaining power plants and transmission lines would have to carry more of the electricity demand. If several transmission lines were also damaged, the system might not be able to deliver enough electricity to the north. This shows how damage to a few important parts of a centralized system can affect many customers. Puerto Rico also depended heavily on imported fuels, including oil, natural gas, and coal. This meant that electricity production relied on fuel shipments and port facilities. If a hurricane damaged a port or disrupted fuel deliveries, power plants could face additional problems obtaining the fuel they needed (Sotomayor, 2020; CRS, 2025). The hurricanes showed that simply replacing damaged equipment would not be enough. Puerto Rico also needed stronger infrastructure, regular maintenance, and better plans for handling future storms. For example, stronger transmission poles and better-protected substations could help reduce storm damage, while backup power systems could help essential services continue operating during outages. The main lesson is Puerto Rico’s experience shows that a power system must be designed to withstand disasters, not just operate during normal conditions. [[File:The use of Solar Power and Batteries.png|center|555x555px]] === PREPA’s Financial Problems and Institutional Restructuring === PREPA faced financial and operating problems for many years. Act 120-2018 described issues such as aging infrastructure, expensive fuel, poor maintenance, administrative problems, and large amounts of debt. These problems made it difficult for PREPA to pay for improvements while continuing to provide electricity (Government of Puerto Rico, 2018). The government responded by creating a legal framework that allowed private companies to take over certain operations and allowed some electricity-generation assets to be sold. The goal was to improve efficiency, modernize the system, and make electricity service more financially sustainable. As part of this restructuring, LUMA began managing transmission and distribution operations on June 1, 2021. Genera Puerto Rico began managing most non-hydroelectric generation operations on July 1, 2023, while PREPA continued operating its hydroelectric plants (CRS, 2025). This division of responsibilities can make coordination especially important. For example, when a neighborhood loses power because a distribution line is damaged, the organization responsible for that line must identify the problem and arrange repairs. If the  repair also requires coordination with a power plant operator or another agency, the organizations must communicate clearly to restore service as quickly as possible. Changing the management structure, however, does not automatically repair old power lines or prevent future outages. The CRS reported that Puerto Rico continued to experience partial and island-wide blackouts in 2025 (CRS, 2025). This shows why the results of restructuring should be judged by actual improvements, such as fewer outages, faster repairs, better maintenance, and more affordable electricity. The key takeaway is changing who manages the system can be part of the solution, but the changes must lead to better service and stronger infrastructure. === Federal Funding and the Slow Recovery Process === After Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico needed major investments to repair and improve its electricity system. Federal agencies, including FEMA, HUD, and DOE, supported recovery and modernization efforts. According to PREPA, more than $15 billion in federal funding had been awarded for the electricity system by June 2023 (CRS, 2025).However, money being awarded does not mean that construction is finished. In its May 2025 report, CRS stated that more than $10 billion in FEMA funding had been obligated for permanent work, but approximately $2 billion had been disbursed. CRS also reported that less than 1% of the $1.9 billion HUD had obligated for the electric grid had been disbursed as of July 2024 (CRS, 2025). These figures refer to different dates and stages of funding, so they should not be treated as the same measure. Recovery can take a long time because projects require engineering plans, reviews, permits, contracts, equipment, and trained workers. GAO reported that only nine of 258 large FEMA-funded permanent grid-recovery projects had been completed by the end of 2025. It identified lengthy reviews, staff turnover, complicated funding requirements, and uncertainty about responsibilities as barriers to progress (GAO, 2026). For example, a project to replace damaged power poles may have funding available but still need engineering approval, environmental review, materials, and a contractor before construction can begin. If one of these steps is delayed, the community may continue relying on damaged or outdated infrastructure while the project waits to move forward. To improve recovery, government agencies need to coordinate their work, make responsibilities clear, and explain delays to the public. They should also report how much money has been spent, which projects have been completed, and whether the work has improved electricity service. The main lesson is Federal funding is important, but it must be turned into completed projects that make the power system more reliable. === Main Organizations and Their Roles === PREPA is the public corporation associated with Puerto Rico’s electricity assets and financial restructuring. LUMA manages transmission and distribution operations, while Genera manages most non-hydroelectric generation operations. These different responsibilities mean that repairing a damaged power line, managing a power plant, and planning future energy projects may require coordination among several organizations (CRS, 2025). The Puerto Rico Energy Bureau regulates the energy sector, including important planning and rate decisions. Federal agencies also play major roles. FEMA supports eligible disaster recovery projects, HUD provides community development funding that includes grid recovery, and DOE supports energy assessments and modernization efforts. Local communities and energy partners contribute by identifying needs and developing projects such as residential solar and battery systems (CRS, 2025; GAO, 2026; EDF, 2026). For example, improving electricity service in a community may require a utility operator to repair equipment, a government agency to approve or fund a project, and local organizations to explain which services residents need most. If these groups do not coordinate, a project may be delayed or fail to address the community’s most urgent problems. === Microgrids: Culebra, Solar Power, and Battery Storage === Culebra is a small island municipality off the eastern coast of Puerto Rico. Its residents face the risk of long electricity interruptions when storms damage the wider power system. These outages can affect everyday needs, such as keeping food refrigerated, charging communication devices, and operating medical equipment (Environmental Defense Fund [EDF], 2026). In a 2020 master’s paper, Federico Sotomayor examined the possibility of building a utility-scale solar farm on Culebra. The proposal was intended to increase local electricity production and reduce dependence on the main power system. EDF later described a community-focused project involving residential solar panels and battery storage to help participating households lower energy costs and maintain essential electricity during outages (Sotomayor, 2020; EDF, 2026). Distributed energy resources, such as rooftop solar panels and household battery systems, provide electricity closer to where it is consumed which can ease the burden of grid transformation. A nanogrid generally serves a single building or small group of, a microgrid can connect multiple buildings and local energy resources within a defined electrical network. This creates a buffer that allows engineers to focus on permanent structural upgrades. For example, if a hurricane causes the main grid to fail in the evening, a home with solar panels and a properly configured battery may still be able to power selected appliances. This allows the residences to continue to live and work without complete loss of needed appliances until the utility crews can connect the house back to the grid. This capability, known as islanding, can help maintain electricity service during wider grid outages. However, solar panels alone do not guarantee backup electricity. Systems require appropriate inverters, battery storage or another available generation source, and equipment capable of self operation. In addition installing these systems can be expensive, and some residents may need financial assistance to participate. Equipment must also be installed correctly, maintained, and protected from severe weather. A utility-scale solar farm would face additional challenges, including finding suitable land, connecting to the local grid, and determining how much electricity and storage the island would need. The proposal described by Sotomayor should not be treated as proof that the proposed solar farm was built. EDF’s description of residential solar and battery work is a separate community-based approach (Sotomayor, 2020; EDF, 2026). The key takeaway is local renewable energy can help communities prepare for outages, but projects must be affordable, properly designed, and supported over time. [[File:Use of Solar Power and Batteries.png|center|513x513px]] === Renewable Energy Goals and the Future of Puerto Rico’s Grid === Puerto Rico has been working toward a cleaner electricity system, but there are different views about how quickly the transition should happen and which energy sources should be used. Act 17-2019 established a goal of obtaining 100% of Puerto Rico’s electricity from renewable sources by 2050, with earlier targets for 2025 and 2040. Act 1-2025 removed those interim targets and extended the planned end of coal use from 2028 to 2032 (CRS, 2025).Renewable energy can reduce the need to import fossil fuels, but solar and wind power must be supported by equipment that helps deliver electricity when and where it is needed. For example, solar panels may produce plenty of electricity on a sunny afternoon, but they do not produce electricity after sunset. Batteries, other generating sources, and a well-planned grid are needed to help meet demand at night. Puerto Rico must also make sure that new energy projects can connect to its existing infrastructure. If a solar farm is built in an area where transmission lines cannot carry the additional electricity, the project may not provide its full intended benefit. This is why renewable-energy development must happen alongside improvements to transmission, distribution, storage, and system controls (CRS, 2025; EDF, 2026). The transition also raises questions about affordability. A household that can afford rooftop solar and batteries may have more options during an outage, while a household with fewer financial resources may still depend entirely on the wider grid. Support programs and community-based projects can help ensure that improvements reach people who need them most (EDF, 2026). Puerto Rico therefore needs a plan that addresses immediate reliability problems while also preparing for a cleaner energy future. This means repairing the existing grid, improving storage and transmission, expanding renewable energy where suitable, and keeping electricity affordable. The main lesson is reliable electricity and renewable energy should be planned together. Puerto Rico needs a dependable system today while building a cleaner system for tomorrow.

Puerto Rico cannot shut down its entire electricity system while it replaces equipment and builds a new one. Hospitals, homes, businesses, schools, and emergency services still need electricity during construction and recovery. This means repairs and improvements must happen in stages. For example, crews can repair a damaged transmission line to restore electricity while engineers plan how to strengthen that line against future storms. The immediate repair helps customers today, while the longer-term improvement can reduce the chance of similar problems in the future. This approach allows the system to keep operating while parts of it are improved. The same principle applies to management and funding. Puerto Rico has changed who operates different parts of its electricity system, but continuing outages show that organizational changes must be supported by better maintenance, clear responsibilities, and measurable improvements in service (CRS, 2025). Federal funding must also move through planning and construction so that it results in completed projects rather than remaining tied up in lengthy processes (GAO, 2026). Local energy projects can provide another layer of protection. Solar panels and batteries in Culebra, for example, may help participating households keep essential appliances operating during an outage. However, these systems do not replace the need for a strong island-wide grid. Both local backup systems and major infrastructure improvements are needed (Sotomayor, 2020; EDF, 2026). The best approach is to repair the most urgent problems while gradually building a stronger and more reliable system. Puerto Rico must keep electricity flowing, improve how the system is managed, complete recovery projects, and prepare for a cleaner energy future at the same time. === Conclusion === Puerto Rico’s electricity system shows how difficult it can be to transform essential infrastructure while people continue to depend on it. Hurricanes Irma and Maria exposed weaknesses that had developed over many years. Financial problems, aging equipment, and complicated recovery processes have made rebuilding difficult. Changes in management have altered who operates parts of the system, but reliable electricity remains a major concern. The case studies show that no single solution can fix every problem. Stronger equipment can reduce storm damage, better coordination can help recovery projects move forward, and clear oversight can improve accountability. Solar panels, batteries, and other local energy systems can also help communities maintain essential electricity during outages. Puerto Rico’s experience suggests that a failing system can be transformed while it continues to provide service, but only through careful planning, cooperation, funding, and attention to the needs of residents. The goal should not be to rebuild the old system exactly as it was. It should be to create a system that is more reliable, affordable, and prepared for future disasters. === References === Congressional Research Service. (2025).

The recipe presented here deviates from authentic dish in that it's faster to make, omits wine and includes carrots, celery and somewhat different seasonings. ==Ingredients== *1 lb (454 g) dried [[Cookbook: Pasta|pasta]] *1½ lbs [[Cookbook:Beef|beef]] chuck, cut into approximately 1½-inch chunks *1 lb [[Cookbook:Simple Italian Sausage Spaghetti Dinner| Italian sausage]] (approximately 4–5 links) *3 tablespoons extra-virgin [[Cookbook: Olive Oil|olive oil]] *1 medium [[Cookbook: Onion|onion]], finely chopped *2 medium [[Cookbook: Carrot|carrots]], finely chopped *2 [[Cookbook: Celery|celery stalks]], finely chopped *3 [[Cookbook:Clove|cloves]] [[Cookbook: Garlic|garlic]], minced *2 cans (28 oz each) crushed [[Cookbook: Tomato|tomatoes]] *6 oz [[Cookbook: Tomato Pasta|tomato paste]] *1 tablespoon dried [[Cookbook: Oregano|oregano]] *1 [[Cookbook: Tablespoon|tablespoon]] dried [[Cookbook: Basil|basil]] *[[Cookbook:Salt|Salt]], to taste *Freshly grated [[wikipedia:Parmigiano Reggiano|Parmigiano Reggiano]], for serving == Equipment == *A [[wikipedia:Dutch oven|Dutch oven]] or a thick-walled, aluminum pot *a large [[Cookbook:Stock Pot|pot]] for cooking pasta in boiling water *a large pair of tongs *a large [[Cookbook: Cooking Spoon|spoon]] for stirring *a kitchen knife *a cheese grater *a measuring cup *measuring spoons *a food scale == Procedure == *Heat the olive oil in a large in a thick-walled pot. *Add the beef chuck. Season the beef lightly with salt. *Cook, turning occasionally, until the beef develops a brown crust, approximately 8–12 minutes. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. *Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. *Reduce the heat to medium. *Add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion to the same pot, using the remaining oil and rendered fat from the meat. *Cook for approximately 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened. Be careful not to burn them. *Make a small opening in the center of the vegetables and add the minced garlic. *Cook until the garlic becomes lightly golden, approximately 30–60 seconds. *Immediately add the crushed tomatoes to prevent the garlic from burning. Stir thoroughly to combine with the vegetables. *Add the tomato paste and mix well until completely incorporated. *Add the oregano and basil, stirring to distribute the herbs evenly throughout the sauce. *Season with salt to taste, keeping in mind that the sausages will contribute additional salt and allow the mixture to simmer for one to two minutes. *Return the browned beef chuck and add the raw Italian sausages to the pot, along with any accumulated juices. *Stir gently, making sure the meat is submerged in the tomato sauce. *Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. *Simmer for 2 hours with the pot lid on, leaving it slightly ajar. Stir approximately every 10 minutes to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Keep the heat low enough so that the sauce bubbles gently. *Approximately 15 minutes before the sauce finishes simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. *Add the entire 1-pound box of dried pasta. *Cook until slightly underdone, approximately 1–2 minutes less than the package's recommended cooking time. Do not drain the pasta or discard the cooking water. *Using tongs, transfer the slightly undercooked pasta directly from the boiling water into the pot of ragù. *Stir thoroughly so that every piece of pasta is coated with sauce. *Add one quarter to one third cup of pasta water and continue simmering over medium-low heat until the pasta is tender but not mushy and the sauce clings evenly to it. *Divide the pasta and ragù among serving plates, distributing the beef and sausage as desired. *Grate fresh Parmigiano Reggiano generously over each serving. *Serve immediately while hot. ==References== {{reflist}} 294pdu3bppio2y0k3xjtr4w6e8upqdx 2 486662 4681389 4681305 2026-11-10T15:44:45Z Raggghhh 3626624 4681389 wikitext text/x-wiki == Introduction == [[wikipedia:Unmanned_aerial_vehicle|Unmanned Aerial Vehicles]] (UAVs), also called drones, have become an important part of modern communication, automation, surveillance, and monitoring systems.

However, with the emergence of technology in wireless communication, embedded systems, sensors, navigation, and artificial intelligence, their use has now expanded to agriculture, disaster management, transportation, environmental monitoring, and industrial inspection. A conventional drone generally communicates with a [[wikipedia:UAV_ground_control_station|ground control station (GCS)]] via a wireless communication link. Flight commands are sent to the ground control station, which receives information such as altitude, position, velocity, battery status, and sensor measurements. Although this communication arrangement is effective for single drone operations, it can be restrictive when multiple drones are required to undertake a coordinated task. This limitation is solved by drone-to-drone communication that enables multiple UAVs to exchange information directly with each other. Drones are able to communicate and share information, coordinate their movements, and cooperate to fulfill a common mission, instead of relying solely on a central controller. A network consisting of multiple interconnected UAVs that communicate through an ad hoc wireless network is known as a '''[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/FANET Flying Ad Hoc Network] (FANET)'''. FANETs are an extension of mobile ad hoc networking to the aerial environment. They are characterized by high mobility of nodes, 3D movement, frequently changing topology, dynamic wireless links, and limited energy resources on board. == Fundamentals of Drone-to-Drone Communication == Using the wireless communication technologies, multiple UAVs can exchange information. Each UAV acts as a node in the network. It can send, receive and process information. Depending on the network, UAVs will either directly communicate with each other or use other UAVs as an intermediate. For example, in a group of 4 UAVs undertaking a monitoring task within agriculture, the first UAV may take pictures of a specific field, the second UAV may take measurements of the environment, the third UAV may collect information about the soil and the fourth UAV may act as a coordinator. The information can be shared between the UAVs via wireless communications. This information can then be compiled by the coordinator UAV and sent to the ground station. === 2.1 Basic working principle === In simple terms, a drone communicates by: # Creating data: The data is created using sensors, cameras, navigation, and on board computer systems. # Processing data: The computer processes the data, turning it into a message. # Send via wireless: The message is sent through an antenna using a communications module. # Receive the signal: The signal is received by another drone. # Decoding the data: The signal is then processed to recreate the information. # Using the information: The drone uses the information to help with navigation, coordination, monitoring etc. === 2.2 Types of Information Exchanged === The data shared between drones can be categorized as: # Flight Control Data: This includes commands for altitude, direction, speed, acceleration and flight mode. # Telemetry Data: Includes GPS data, battery voltage, altitude, airspeed, orientation and status. # Sensor Data: Includes temperature, humidity, pressure, air quality and other sensor data. # Multimedia Data: Includes photos, videos, thermal imaging, and other high bandwidth data. # Depending on what type of data is being shared there are different considerations. For example flight control data usually has low latency requirements and high reliability. Whereas larger image files may have higher bandwidth requirements but can tolerate some extra delay. == Flying Ad Hoc Network (FANET) == A flying ad hoc network is a type of wireless network that consists of several UAVs communicating and cooperating with each other. Each UAV in a FANET operates as its own node. They can send messages to any nearby UAVs and can relay packets for other nodes. They are similar to Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). The fact they are in the air however adds further challenges. === 3.1 Characteristics of FANET === # High mobility—UAVs can travel quickly and change direction/altitude mid-flight meaning frequent changes to communication channels. # 3D Movement—Unlike most terrestrial networks, FANET nodes will be found in a 3D environment meaning they can move horizontally and vertically. # Dynamic Topology—As drones get closer or further apart in the network the topology will change. Links can be set up or lost in a short time. # Variable Density – The number of drones in a network can vary depending on the mission requirements. # Low Energy—Most UAVs will run off onboard batteries. All UAV functions (communications, computing, and Flight) require energy. # Line of Sight—Although aerial communications may have fewer physical barriers than terrestrial networks, buildings, landscape, foliage, weather, antenna alignment and interference can cause issues. # Decentralized—Drones can work together without constant communication with a central controller. == Architecture of Drone-to-Drone Communication Networks == The network architecture describes how the UAVs are connected and communicate with each other.

The RF transmitter takes a digital signal and encodes it to be sent via the antenna. The signal is received and decoded by the receiver. RF communication can be used to send control signals, telemetry and data between drones. The frequency chosen will depend on the desired range of communications, bandwidth available, antenna specification, propagation conditions, interference and regulations. == References == 90gidxxq67ze2ewud3alreirca72d85 2 486778 4681440 4681275 2026-11-10T17:36:07Z PushpenderSingh369 3629895 Write something about ArUco markers 4681440 wikitext text/x-wiki == ArUco Marker == An '''ArUco marker''' is a type of square fiducial marker used in computer vision applications for identification, camera pose estimation and spatial localization. It consists of a black-and-white binary pattern enclosed within a square border. ArUco markers are commonly used in [[robotics]] and augmented reality, where they provide identifiable visual references for determining the position and orientation of cameras or objects. == Design and structure == An ArUco marker typically consists of a black outer border surrounding an internal binary pattern. The pattern encodes an identifier that allows computer vision software to distinguish one marker from another. Multiple markers can be generated from a predefined dictionary, with each marker assigned a unique code. == Detection and identification == ArUco marker detection generally involves identifying square contours in an image, extracting their internal binary patterns and comparing the decoded patterns against a marker dictionary. The OpenCV computer vision library provides functionality for generating and detecting ArUco markers. Its implementation allows users to identify markers in camera images and obtain the coordinates of their corners. == Pose estimation == When the physical dimensions of a marker and the camera's calibration parameters are known, its position and orientation relative to the camera can be estimated using perspective geometry. The resulting pose information can be represented using translation and rotation parameters. These measurements allow a robotic system to determine the relative position of a marker in three-dimensional space. == Applications == ArUco markers are used in several computer vision applications, including: * '''Robotics:''' Robot localization, navigation and landmark detection. * '''Augmented reality:''' Establishing reference coordinates for virtual objects. * '''Camera calibration:''' Providing known geometric references. * '''Object tracking:''' Identifying and tracking objects in camera images. * '''Human–robot interaction:''' Providing visual references for robotic systems. == Limitations == ArUco marker detection depends on image quality, lighting conditions, viewing angle and marker visibility. Partial occlusion, low resolution and excessive perspective distortion can reduce detection reliability. The accuracy of pose estimation also depends on camera calibration and the physical dimensions of the marker. 8cttmsnfxf9n4zqqru9npze3t0pnkof 2 486780 4681417 4679758 2026-11-10T16:51:43Z Deepanshi yadav 3629894 4681417 wikitext text/x-wiki '''Semiconductor Devices and Their Applications''' covers the electronic components built from semiconductor materials such as silicon, and the ways they are used in real systems. Diodes, transistors and integrated circuits are the building blocks of almost every modern electronic product. This module explains how the material works, how the main devices are built from it, how they are manufactured, and where they are used. __TOC__ == Learning objectives == After reading this module you should be able to: * Explain why a semiconductor conducts differently from a metal or an insulator. * Describe how doping and the p–n junction make controllable devices possible. * Distinguish diodes, BJTs, MOSFETs, thyristors and integrated circuits by structure and function. * Outline the main steps used to manufacture a silicon chip. * Discuss the applications, challenges and likely future of semiconductor technology. == Introduction == Electronic circuits need components that can control current, not only carry it. A resistor limits current, but it cannot decide when to switch it on, amplify it or let it pass in one direction only. Semiconductor devices can do all of these. The story of electronics is largely the story of better ways to control electrons: first vacuum tubes, which were large, hot and fragile, and then solid-state devices, which are tiny, cheap and reliable. After the transistor was demonstrated in 1947, solid-state devices replaced tubes in most applications within about two decades.<ref name="bardeen">Bardeen, J. and Brattain, W. H. "The Transistor, A Semi-Conductor Triode." ''Physical Review'' 74(2), 230–231, 1948.</ref> == Background == === Conductors, insulators and semiconductors === Materials differ in how easily their electrons can move. The energy gap between the valence band (bound electrons) and the conduction band (free electrons) is called the '''bandgap''' (E_g). {| class="wikitable" |+ Conductors, semiconductors and insulators compared ! Feature !! Conductor (metal) !! Semiconductor !! Insulator |- | Bandgap || None (bands overlap) || Small, about 0.5–3.5 eV || Large, above about 4 eV |- | Free carriers at room temperature || Very many || Few, but adjustable || Almost none |- | Effect of rising temperature || Resistance increases || Resistance decreases || Little change until breakdown |- | Example || Copper || Silicon || Glass |} === Electrons and holes === When an electron gains enough energy to cross the bandgap it leaves behind an empty state called a ''hole'', which behaves like a mobile positive charge. In a pure crystal electrons and holes are created in equal numbers. Their concentration in an intrinsic semiconductor depends strongly on temperature: <math>n_i^2 = N_c N_v \, e^{-E_g/(k_B T)}</math> For silicon at room temperature n_i is only about 10¹⁰ carriers per cm³, which is why pure silicon is a poor conductor.<ref name="sze">Sze, S. M. and Ng, K. K. ''Physics of Semiconductor Devices'', 3rd ed. Wiley, 2007.</ref> === Doping === Adding a small number of impurity atoms, called doping, changes conductivity dramatically. {| class="wikitable" |+ n-type and p-type silicon ! Type !! Dopant !!

This junction is the heart of the diode and of many other devices. * '''Forward bias:''' the barrier is reduced and current flows once the voltage reaches roughly 0.6–0.7 V for silicon. * '''Reverse bias:''' the barrier increases and only a very small leakage current flows, until breakdown. The current–voltage relationship is described by the ideal diode equation: <math>I = I_S\left(e^{V/(nV_T)} - 1\right)</math> where I_S is the saturation current, n is the ideality factor and V_T ≈ 26 mV at 300 K.<ref name="sze" /> [[File:FILENAME.png|thumb|center|450px|Energy bands of a metal, semiconductor and insulator, and the depletion region of a p–n junction.]] == Working principles of the main devices == === Diodes === A diode allows current in one direction.

A small base current controls a much larger collector current. In the active region <math>I_C = \beta I_B</math> where β (current gain) is commonly between about 50 and 300 for small-signal parts.<ref name="fiore">Fiore, J. M. ''Semiconductor Devices: Theory and Application''. Mohawk Valley Community College, open textbook. https://milneopentextbooks.org/semiconductor-devices-theory-application-lab-manual/</ref> This makes the BJT a good analog amplifier. === MOSFET === In a metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor, a voltage on an insulated gate creates a conducting channel between the source and the drain. Because the gate is separated from the channel by an oxide layer, it draws almost no steady current. The MOSFET was first demonstrated at Bell Labs in 1959 by Atalla and Kahng,<ref name="kahng">Kahng, D. and Atalla, M. M. "Silicon–silicon dioxide field induced surface devices." IRE-AIEE Solid-State Device Research Conference, 1960.</ref> and it is the basis of modern digital logic. A key figure of merit is the subthreshold swing, the gate voltage needed to change the off-state current by a factor of ten. Its ideal limit at 300 K is <math>SS_{min} = \frac{k_B T}{q}\ln(10) \approx 60\ \text{mV/decade}</math> Better gate control brings a real device closer to this limit and reduces leakage. === Thyristors and IGBTs === A thyristor (SCR or triac) is a four-layer device that latches on after a trigger pulse and stays on until the current falls below a holding value. It is used to control large AC power. The insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) combines MOSFET-style gate drive with BJT-style current capacity and is common in motor drives and electric-vehicle inverters.<ref name="baliga">Baliga, B.

Rectifier diodes convert the AC into rough DC, a switching MOSFET chops it at high frequency so that a small transformer can step it down, and a controller IC with a reference keeps the output voltage steady. Chargers that use GaN switches can be smaller because GaN switches efficiently at high frequency. === Worked example: choosing an LED resistor === An LED with a forward drop of about 2 V is run from a 5 V supply at 10 mA. The series resistor must drop the remaining 3 V: <math>R = \frac{5 - 2}{0.010} = 300\ \Omega</math> This is why almost every LED in a circuit has a resistor: without it, current would rise rapidly and damage the device. == Advantages == * Very small size, so millions or billions of devices fit on one chip. * Low power consumption compared with vacuum tubes. * High reliability and long life, with no filament to burn out. * Low cost per device through mass production on wafers. * Fast switching, enabling high-speed computing and communication. == Challenges == * '''Heat.'''

A resistor limits current, but it cannot decide when to switch it on, amplify it or let it pass in one direction only. Semiconductor devices can do all of these. The story of electronics is largely the story of better ways to control electrons: first vacuum tubes, which were large, hot and fragile, and then solid-state devices, which are tiny, cheap and reliable. After the transistor was demonstrated in 1947, solid-state devices replaced tubes in most applications within about two decades.<ref name="bardeen">Bardeen, J. and Brattain, W. H.

In a pure crystal electrons and holes are created in equal numbers. Their concentration in an intrinsic semiconductor depends strongly on temperature: <math>n_i^2 = N_c N_v \, e^{-E_g/(k_B T)}</math> For silicon at room temperature n_i is only about 10¹⁰ carriers per cm³, which is why pure silicon is a poor conductor.<ref name="sze">Sze, S.

In a pure crystal electrons and holes are created in equal numbers. Their concentration in an intrinsic semiconductor depends strongly on temperature: <math>n_i^2 = N_c N_v \, e^{-E_g/(k_B T)}</math> For silicon at room temperature n_i is only about 10¹⁰ carriers per cm³, which is why pure silicon is a poor conductor.<ref name="sze">Sze, S.

This junction is the heart of the diode and of many other devices. * '''Forward bias:''' the barrier is reduced and current flows once the voltage reaches roughly 0.6–0.7 V for silicon. * '''Reverse bias:''' the barrier increases and only a very small leakage current flows, until breakdown. The current–voltage relationship is described by the ideal diode equation: <math>I = I_S\left(e^{V/(nV_T)} - 1\right)</math> where I_S is the saturation current, n is the ideality factor and V_T ≈ 26 mV at 300 K.<ref name="sze" /> [[File:Fig 1(Semiconductor).png|thumb|Energy bands of a metal, semiconductor and insulator, and the depletion region of a p–n junction.]] == Working principles of the main devices == === Diodes === A diode allows current in one direction.

A small base current controls a much larger collector current. In the active region <math>I_C = \beta I_B</math> where β (current gain) is commonly between about 50 and 300 for small-signal parts.<ref name="fiore">Fiore, J. M. ''Semiconductor Devices: Theory and Application''. Mohawk Valley Community College, open textbook. https://milneopentextbooks.org/semiconductor-devices-theory-application-lab-manual/</ref> This makes the BJT a good analog amplifier. === MOSFET === In a metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor, a voltage on an insulated gate creates a conducting channel between the source and the drain. Because the gate is separated from the channel by an oxide layer, it draws almost no steady current. The MOSFET was first demonstrated at Bell Labs in 1959 by Atalla and Kahng,<ref name="kahng">Kahng, D. and Atalla, M. M. "Silicon–silicon dioxide field induced surface devices." IRE-AIEE Solid-State Device Research Conference, 1960.</ref> and it is the basis of modern digital logic. A key figure of merit is the subthreshold swing, the gate voltage needed to change the off-state current by a factor of ten. Its ideal limit at 300 K is <math>SS_{min} = \frac{k_B T}{q}\ln(10) \approx 60\ \text{mV/decade}</math> Better gate control brings a real device closer to this limit and reduces leakage. === Thyristors and IGBTs === A thyristor (SCR or triac) is a four-layer device that latches on after a trigger pulse and stays on until the current falls below a holding value. It is used to control large AC power. The insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) combines MOSFET-style gate drive with BJT-style current capacity and is common in motor drives and electric-vehicle inverters.<ref name="baliga">Baliga, B.

The p–n junction gives the diode, two junctions give the BJT, and an insulated gate gives the MOSFET.

Diodes, transistors and integrated circuits are the building blocks of almost every modern electronic product. This module explains how the material works, how the main devices are built from it, how they are manufactured, and where they are used. __TOC__ == Learning objectives == After reading this module you should be able to: * Explain why a semiconductor conducts differently from a metal or an insulator. * Describe how doping and the p–n junction make controllable devices possible. * Distinguish diodes, BJTs, MOSFETs, thyristors and integrated circuits by structure and function. * Outline the main steps used to manufacture a silicon chip. * Discuss the applications, challenges and likely future of semiconductor technology. == Introduction == Electronic circuits need components that can control current, not only carry it. A resistor limits current, but it cannot decide when to switch it on, amplify it or let it pass in one direction only. Semiconductor devices can do all of these. The story of electronics is largely the story of better ways to control electrons: first vacuum tubes, which were large, hot and fragile, and then solid-state devices, which are tiny, cheap and reliable. After the transistor was demonstrated in 1947, solid-state devices replaced tubes in most applications within about two decades.<ref name="bardeen">Bardeen, J. and Brattain, W. H.

Diodes, transistors and integrated circuits are the building blocks of almost every modern electronic product. This module explains how the material works, how the main devices are built from it, how they are manufactured, and where they are used. __TOC__ == Learning objectives == After reading this module you should be able to: * Explain why a semiconductor conducts differently from a metal or an insulator. * Describe how doping and the p–n junction make controllable devices possible. * Distinguish diodes, BJTs, MOSFETs, thyristors and integrated circuits by structure and function. * Outline the main steps used to manufacture a silicon chip. * Discuss the applications, challenges and likely future of semiconductor technology. == Introduction == Electronic circuits need components that can control current, not only carry it. A resistor limits current, but it cannot decide when to switch it on, amplify it or let it pass in one direction only. Semiconductor devices can do all of these. The story of electronics is largely the story of better ways to control electrons: first vacuum tubes, which were large, hot and fragile, and then solid-state devices, which are tiny, cheap and reliable. After the transistor was demonstrated in 1947, solid-state devices replaced tubes in most applications within about two decades.<ref name="bardeen">Bardeen, J. and Brattain, W. H.

In a pure crystal electrons and holes are created in equal numbers. Their concentration in an intrinsic semiconductor depends strongly on temperature: <math>n_i^2 = N_c N_v \, e^{-E_g/(k_B T)}</math> For silicon at room temperature n_i is only about 10¹⁰ carriers per cm³, which is why pure silicon is a poor conductor.<ref name="sze">Sze, S.

This junction is the heart of the diode and of many other devices. * '''Forward bias:''' the barrier is reduced and current flows once the voltage reaches roughly 0.6–0.7 V for silicon. * '''Reverse bias:''' the barrier increases and only a very small leakage current flows, until breakdown. The current–voltage relationship is described by the ideal diode equation: <math>I = I_S\left(e^{V/(nV_T)} - 1\right)</math> where I_S is the saturation current, n is the ideality factor and V_T ≈ 26 mV at 300 K.<ref name="sze" /> [[File:Fig 1(Semiconductor).png|thumb|Energy bands of a metal, semiconductor and insulator, and the depletion region of a p–n junction.]] == Working principles of the main devices == === Diodes === A diode allows current in one direction.

A small base current controls a much larger collector current. In the active region <math>I_C = \beta I_B</math> where β (current gain) is commonly between about 50 and 300 for small-signal parts.<ref name="fiore">Fiore, J. M. ''Semiconductor Devices: Theory and Application''. Mohawk Valley Community College, open textbook. https://milneopentextbooks.org/semiconductor-devices-theory-application-lab-manual/</ref> This makes the BJT a good analog amplifier. === MOSFET === In a metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor, a voltage on an insulated gate creates a conducting channel between the source and the drain. Because the gate is separated from the channel by an oxide layer, it draws almost no steady current. The MOSFET was first demonstrated at Bell Labs in 1959 by Atalla and Kahng,<ref name="kahng">Kahng, D. and Atalla, M. M. "Silicon–silicon dioxide field induced surface devices." IRE-AIEE Solid-State Device Research Conference, 1960.</ref> and it is the basis of modern digital logic. A key figure of merit is the subthreshold swing, the gate voltage needed to change the off-state current by a factor of ten. Its ideal limit at 300 K is <math>SS_{min} = \frac{k_B T}{q}\ln(10) \approx 60\ \text{mV/decade}</math> Better gate control brings a real device closer to this limit and reduces leakage. === Thyristors and IGBTs === A thyristor (SCR or triac) is a four-layer device that latches on after a trigger pulse and stays on until the current falls below a holding value. It is used to control large AC power. The insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) combines MOSFET-style gate drive with BJT-style current capacity and is common in motor drives and electric-vehicle inverters.<ref name="baliga">Baliga, B.

A light-sensitive coating (photoresist) is exposed through a patterned mask so that circuit shapes can be transferred to the wafer. # '''Etching.'''

[[File:Fig B CMOS.png|thumb|Simplified process flow from silicon wafer to packaged chip.]] === Why the process is difficult === * Dust particles far smaller than a hair can ruin a chip, so cleanrooms must be extremely clean. * Layers must line up with nanometre-scale accuracy from one lithography step to the next. * Dopant concentration and depth must be tightly controlled, because they set device behaviour. * Small variations across a wafer can produce devices with different properties. == Materials used == {| class="wikitable" |+ Typical materials in a silicon MOSFET !

Rectifier diodes convert the AC into rough DC, a switching MOSFET chops it at high frequency so that a small transformer can step it down, and a controller IC with a reference keeps the output voltage steady. Chargers that use GaN switches can be smaller because GaN switches efficiently at high frequency. === Worked example: choosing an LED resistor === An LED with a forward drop of about 2 V is run from a 5 V supply at 10 mA. The series resistor must drop the remaining 3 V: <math>R = \frac{5 - 2}{0.010} = 300\ \Omega</math> This is why almost every LED in a circuit has a resistor: without it, current would rise rapidly and damage the device. == Advantages == * Very small size, so millions or billions of devices fit on one chip. * Low power consumption compared with vacuum tubes. * High reliability and long life, with no filament to burn out. * Low cost per device through mass production on wafers. * Fast switching, enabling high-speed computing and communication. == Challenges == * '''Heat.''' Dense circuits produce heat that must be removed to keep devices reliable. * '''Leakage.''' As devices shrink, off-state leakage becomes a major share of power use. * '''Manufacturing cost.''' Modern fabrication plants are extremely expensive to build and run. * '''Variability.''' Tiny differences between devices change performance. * '''Material and supply issues.''' Chip production relies on specialised materials, large amounts of energy and water, and a complex global supply chain. * '''Scaling limits.''' Devices are approaching atomic dimensions, so simple shrinking no longer improves performance as it once did. == Future directions == * '''Wide-bandgap devices''' (SiC and GaN) for efficient power conversion and electric vehicles. * '''New transistor structures''' such as FinFET and gate-all-around devices to keep control of the channel at small sizes. * '''3D integration and chiplets''', which stack or combine smaller chips rather than relying only on shrinking. * '''New materials''' such as graphene and other two-dimensional materials, and organic semiconductors for flexible electronics. * '''Quantum devices''', including semiconductor quantum dots studied as possible qubits. == Summary == Semiconductors are useful because their conductivity can be controlled by doping, voltage, light and temperature. The p–n junction gives the diode, two junctions give the BJT, and an insulated gate gives the MOSFET. By combining huge numbers of these devices on one silicon chip, engineers built the computers, phones, power systems and sensors we depend on.

Role |- | Substrate || Single-crystal silicon || Supports the devices |- | Gate insulator || Silicon dioxide or hafnium-based high-k dielectric || Insulates the gate from the channel |- | Gate electrode || Doped polysilicon or metal || Controls the channel |- | Source and drain || Heavily doped silicon || Supply and collect carriers |- | Interconnects || Copper or aluminium || Wire the devices together |- | Isolation || Silicon dioxide || Separates neighbouring devices |} == Applications == {| class="wikitable" |+ Applications of semiconductor devices by sector !

Rectifier diodes convert the AC into rough DC, a switching MOSFET chops it at high frequency so that a small transformer can step it down, and a controller IC with a reference keeps the output voltage steady. Chargers that use GaN switches can be smaller because GaN switches efficiently at high frequency. === Worked example: choosing an LED resistor === An LED with a forward drop of about 2 V is run from a 5 V supply at 10 mA. The series resistor must drop the remaining 3 V: <math>R = \frac{5 - 2}{0.010} = 300\ \Omega</math> This is why almost every LED in a circuit has a resistor: without it, current would rise rapidly and damage the device. == Advantages == * Very small size, so millions or billions of devices fit on one chip. * Low power consumption compared with vacuum tubes. * High reliability and long life, with no filament to burn out. * Low cost per device through mass production on wafers. * Fast switching, enabling high-speed computing and communication. == Challenges == * '''Heat.''' Dense circuits produce heat that must be removed to keep devices reliable. * '''Leakage.''' As devices shrink, off-state leakage becomes a major share of power use. * '''Manufacturing cost.''' Modern fabrication plants are extremely expensive to build and run. * '''Variability.''' Tiny differences between devices change performance. * '''Material and supply issues.''' Chip production relies on specialised materials, large amounts of energy and water, and a complex global supply chain. * '''Scaling limits.''' Devices are approaching atomic dimensions, so simple shrinking no longer improves performance as it once did. == Future directions == * '''Wide-bandgap devices''' (SiC and GaN) for efficient power conversion and electric vehicles. * '''New transistor structures''' such as FinFET and gate-all-around devices to keep control of the channel at small sizes. * '''3D integration and chiplets''', which stack or combine smaller chips rather than relying only on shrinking. * '''New materials''' such as graphene and other two-dimensional materials, and organic semiconductors for flexible electronics. * '''Quantum devices''', including semiconductor quantum dots studied as possible qubits. == Summary == Semiconductors are useful because their conductivity can be controlled by doping, voltage, light and temperature. The p–n junction gives the diode, two junctions give the BJT, and an insulated gate gives the MOSFET. By combining huge numbers of these devices on one silicon chip, engineers built the computers, phones, power systems and sensors we depend on. Continuing progress depends on better materials, new device structures and careful management of heat, cost and sustainability. == Review questions == # Why does adding a small amount of boron to silicon increase its conductivity? # Explain the difference between forward and reverse bias of a p–n junction. # A BJT has a current gain of 100 and a base current of 50 µA. Calculate the collector current. # Why can a MOSFET be driven with almost no steady gate current, while a BJT cannot? # Calculate the series resistor needed for an LED with a 1.8 V drop, run from a 9 V supply at 15 mA. # Give two reasons why SiC is preferred over Si in high-voltage power devices. # List two fabrication steps that must be controlled very precisely and explain why. == Glossary == ; Bandgap : The energy difference between the valence band and the conduction band. ; Doping : Deliberately adding impurities to a semiconductor to control its conductivity. ; Depletion region : The region near a p–n junction that has no free carriers. ; Majority carrier : The more abundant type of charge carrier in a doped semiconductor. ; MOSFET : Metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor, a voltage-controlled switch or amplifier. ; Epitaxy : Growth of a crystalline layer on a crystalline substrate. ; Photolithography : Transferring a pattern onto a wafer using light and a photosensitive coating. ; CMP : Chemical mechanical planarization, a polishing process that flattens the wafer surface. ; IGBT : Insulated-gate bipolar transistor, used for high-power switching. == See also == * [[w:Semiconductor device|Semiconductor device (Wikipedia)]] * [[w:Diode|Diode (Wikipedia)]] * [[w:MOSFET|MOSFET (Wikipedia)]] * [[w:Moore's law|Moore's law (Wikipedia)]] == References == <references /> == External links == * [https://milneopentextbooks.org/semiconductor-devices-theory-application-lab-manual/ ''Semiconductor Devices: Theory and Application'' (free open textbook)] * [https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2014/press-release/ Nobel Prize in Physics 2014 (efficient blue LEDs)] [[Category:Electronics]] [[Category:Physics]] o5zst47925utjamq31wof0098qtfcoe 2 486782 4681317 4679761 2026-11-10T13:10:12Z Prajwal R Kumar 3629885 4681317 wikitext text/x-wiki <div style="border:1px solid #a2a9b1; background:#f8f9fa; padding:10px 14px; margin-bottom:12px;"> '''Draft status:''' Student study text, work in progress.<br /> '''Level:''' Undergraduate electronics / VLSI.<br /> '''Prerequisites:''' MOSFET basics, CMOS logic gates, flip-flops and simple Verilog. </div> '''CMOS and Spintronics for Low-Power VLSI Design''' looks at one question: how do we keep making chips faster without letting their power use run away?

Mature CMOS techniques come first: * '''Clock gating''' stops the clock to idle registers, which removes dynamic power but not leakage. * '''Multi-V_th design''' uses fast, leaky transistors only on critical paths. * '''Power gating''' cuts the supply to an idle block using a header or footer switch. * '''Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS)''' matches voltage to workload. Power gating has a weakness that leads directly to the topic of this chapter: when the supply is switched off, every ordinary flip-flop and SRAM cell forgets its state. Saving that state in a separate memory, then restoring it, takes time and energy. If the state itself could be non-volatile, power gating would become far cheaper and could be used more often. == Part 2: Spintronics fundamentals == === Charge and spin === Conventional electronics uses only the charge of the electron. Spintronics also uses the electron's spin, a quantum property that behaves like a tiny magnetic moment pointing "up" or "down" relative to a chosen axis.<ref name="zutic2004">{{cite journal |last1=Žutić |first1=I. |last2=Fabian |first2=J. |last3=Das Sarma |first3=S. |title=Spintronics: Fundamentals and applications |journal=Reviews of Modern Physics |year=2004 |volume=76 |issue=2 |pages=323–410}}</ref> A ferromagnet has more electrons of one spin direction than the other, so current passing through it becomes spin-polarised. === A short timeline === {| class="wikitable" !

The bit is stored as magnetisation and does not need power to be held (own diagram).]] A higher TMR means a bigger gap between the two resistances, so the sense amplifier has an easier job. In practice, process variation shrinks that gap, which is why read margin is a real design concern. === Writing a bit: spin-transfer torque === To write, we send a current through the MTJ. Electrons passing through the fixed layer become spin-polarised, and when they enter the free layer they transfer angular momentum to it. If the current exceeds a critical value I_c, the free layer flips. Reversing the current direction flips it back.<ref name="slonczewski1996" /> Two points are worth remembering: * Writing is a '''current-driven''' process, so write energy depends on how large the current is and how long it flows. * Reading must use a much smaller current, otherwise a read could accidentally disturb the stored value. === Other switching mechanisms === {| class="wikitable" !

Before the block goes to sleep, the flip-flop's value is ''stored'' into the MTJ. After wake-up, the value is ''restored''. [[File:Fig4_NV_flipflop.svg|thumb|center|620px|'''Figure 4.''' A power-gated block using a flip-flop with MTJ backup (own diagram).]] This changes what power gating costs. With volatile state, you must copy registers to somewhere else before sleeping. With an NVFF, the state is already sitting next to the register. === The break-even time === Storing and restoring costs energy, so sleeping only pays off if the block stays asleep long enough. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{E_{store} + E_{restore}}{P_{leak}}</math> If the expected idle period is longer than t_BE, power gating with NVFFs saves energy. If it is shorter, the overhead wins and it is better to stay on. This single relationship is the most useful tool for deciding where spin-based state belongs in a design. '''Worked example.''' Suppose a small block leaks 20&nbsp;µW and the store and restore operations together cost 10&nbsp;nJ. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{10\ \text{nJ}}{20\ \mu\text{W}} = 0.5\ \text{ms}</math> Any idle period longer than half a millisecond is a candidate for gating. A sensor node that wakes once per second sleeps about 2000 times longer than this, so the saving is large. A block that is idle for only microseconds between bursts is not. === Logic-in-memory === Moving data between memory and logic often costs more energy than the computation itself. Placing small logic circuits next to, or inside, non-volatile arrays reduces that movement. This idea appears in surveys of spin-transfer torque memories and their circuit-level uses.<ref name="fong2016">{{cite journal |last1=Fong |first1=X. |last2=Kim |first2=Y. |last3=Venkatesan |first3=R. |last4=Choday |first4=S.

A fair summary of the drawbacks: * '''Write energy and current.''' Flipping an MTJ takes more energy than flipping an SRAM cell. * '''Read margin.''' Limited TMR and process variation make sensing harder at small sizes. * '''Thermal stability versus writability.''' A magnet that holds data for years is, by definition, harder to flip. Designers must balance retention against switching current. * '''Integration.''' Extra process steps and materials add cost and complexity. == Part 5: An RTL designer's checklist == Non-volatility does not add new Verilog keywords, but it changes the architecture. A practical way to think about it: # '''Find idle blocks.''' Profile which modules sit idle for long periods. # '''Choose the retention set.''' Decide which registers must survive power-down and which can be reset. # '''Estimate t_BE.''' Compare it with the expected idle times. # '''Extend the power-management FSM.''' Add store, power-off, power-on and restore states. # '''Verify wake-up equivalence.''' Simulate a sleep/wake cycle and check that the block resumes exactly where it stopped. For example, a small peripheral such as a UART or timer that sits idle between sensor readings is a better candidate than a core datapath that switches every cycle. == Summary == * CMOS power has dynamic, short-circuit and leakage parts, and leakage dominates idle blocks. * Lowering V_DD helps dynamic power but hurts speed, and lowering V_th hurts leakage. * An MTJ stores a bit as a magnetic state that needs no power to hold, and it can be written by spin-transfer torque. * Hybrid MTJ/CMOS circuits, especially non-volatile flip-flops, make power gating cheaper. * Whether it pays off depends on the break-even time, so it suits rarely active, state-heavy blocks. == Exercises == # Explain in two or three sentences why lowering V_DD alone slows a gate. # An MTJ has R_P = 2&nbsp;kΩ and R_AP = 5&nbsp;kΩ.

The catch is speed. Gate delay roughly follows the alpha-power law, and it grows quickly as V_DD approaches V_th.<ref name="sakurai1990">{{cite journal |last1=Sakurai |first1=T. |last2=Newton |first2=A.

Mechanism !! Where it flows !! Rough dependence |- | Subthreshold leakage || Source to drain while the channel is "off" || Exponential in V_th and temperature |- | Gate-oxide tunnelling || Through the thin gate dielectric || Strong in oxide thickness |- | Junction (band-to-band) leakage || Reverse-biased drain/source junctions || Grows with doping and field |} === 4.4 Standard low-power techniques before spintronics === Spintronics is not the first tool a designer reaches for. Mature CMOS techniques come first: * '''Clock gating''' stops the clock to idle registers, which removes dynamic power but not leakage. * '''Multi-V_th design''' uses fast, leaky transistors only on critical paths. * '''Power gating''' cuts the supply to an idle block using a header or footer switch. * '''Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS)''' matches voltage to workload. Power gating has a weakness that leads directly to the topic of this chapter: when the supply is switched off, every ordinary flip-flop and SRAM cell forgets its state. Saving that state in a separate memory, then restoring it, takes time and energy. If the state itself were non-volatile, power gating would become cheaper and could be used more often. == 5. Spintronics fundamentals == === 5.1 Charge, spin and spin polarisation === Conventional electronics uses only the charge of the electron. Spintronics also uses the electron's spin, a quantum property that behaves like a tiny magnetic moment pointing "up" or "down" relative to a chosen axis.<ref name="zutic2004" /> A ferromagnet has more electrons of one spin direction than the other, so current passing through it becomes spin-polarised. === 5.2 The magnetic tunnel junction === An MTJ is a sandwich of two ferromagnetic layers separated by an ultrathin insulator, most often MgO. * The '''fixed (reference) layer''' keeps its magnetisation direction. * The '''free layer''' can point either parallel or antiparallel to the fixed layer. * Electrons tunnel through the barrier more easily when the layers are parallel, so resistance is low (R_P). When they are antiparallel, resistance is high (R_AP). <math>TMR = \frac{R_{AP}-R_{P}}{R_{P}}</math> [[File:Fig2_MTJ_states.svg|thumb|center|600px|'''Figure 2.''' An MTJ in its two stable states. The bit is stored as magnetisation and does not need power to be held.]] A higher TMR means a bigger gap between the two resistances, so the sense amplifier has an easier job. In practice, process variation shrinks that gap, which is why read margin is a real design concern. === 5.3 Reading a bit === A small current is passed through the MTJ and the resulting resistance is compared with a reference by a sense amplifier. The read current must stay well below the switching current, otherwise a read could disturb the stored value. === 5.4 Writing a bit: spin-transfer torque === Electrons passing through the fixed layer become spin-polarised, and when they enter the free layer they transfer angular momentum to it. If the current exceeds a critical value I_c, the free layer flips. Reversing the current direction flips it back.<ref name="slonczewski1996" /> Two points are worth remembering: * Writing is '''current-driven''', so write energy depends on how large the current is and how long it flows. * Reading uses a much smaller current than writing. === 5.5 Other switching mechanisms === {| class="wikitable" !

Before the block goes to sleep, the flip-flop's value is ''stored'' into the MTJ. After wake-up, the value is ''restored''. [[File:Fig4_NV_flipflop.svg|thumb|center|620px|'''Figure 4.''' A power-gated block using a flip-flop with MTJ backup.]] This changes what power gating costs. With volatile state, registers must be copied elsewhere before sleeping. With an NVFF, the state is already stored next to the register. === 6.3 The break-even time === Storing and restoring costs energy, so sleeping only pays off if the block stays asleep long enough. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{E_{store} + E_{restore}}{P_{leak}}</math> If the expected idle period is longer than t_BE, power gating with NVFFs saves energy. If it is shorter, the overhead wins and it is better to stay on. This relationship is a useful tool for deciding where spin-based state belongs in a design. '''Worked example.''' Suppose a small block leaks 20&nbsp;µW and the store and restore operations together cost 10&nbsp;nJ. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{10\ \text{nJ}}{20\ \mu\text{W}} = 0.5\ \text{ms}</math> Any idle period longer than half a millisecond is a candidate for gating. A sensor node that wakes once per second sleeps about 2000 times longer than this, so the saving is large. A block that is idle for only microseconds between bursts is not a candidate. === 6.4 Logic-in-memory === Moving data between memory and logic often costs more energy than the computation itself. Placing small logic circuits next to, or inside, non-volatile arrays reduces that movement. This idea appears in surveys of spin-transfer torque memories and their circuit-level uses.<ref name="fong2016">{{cite journal |last1=Fong |first1=X. |last2=Kim |first2=Y. |last3=Venkatesan |first3=R. |last4=Choday |first4=S.

Challenges and limitations == Spintronics is not a free lunch. The main drawbacks are: * '''Write energy and current.''' Flipping an MTJ generally takes more energy than flipping an SRAM cell. * '''Read margin.''' Limited TMR and process variation make sensing harder at small sizes. * '''Thermal stability versus writability.''' A magnet that holds data for years is, by definition, harder to flip. Designers must balance retention against switching current. * '''Integration.''' Extra process steps and materials add cost and complexity. == 10. An RTL designer's checklist == Non-volatility does not add new Verilog keywords, but it changes the architecture. A practical way to think about it: # '''Find idle blocks.''' Profile which modules sit idle for long periods. # '''Choose the retention set.''' Decide which registers must survive power-down and which can be reset. # '''Estimate t_BE.''' Compare it with the expected idle times. # '''Extend the power-management FSM.''' Add store, power-off, power-on and restore states. # '''Verify wake-up equivalence.''' Simulate a sleep/wake cycle and check that the block resumes exactly where it stopped. For example, a small peripheral such as a UART or timer that sits idle between sensor readings is a better candidate than a core datapath that switches every cycle. == 11.

Summary == * CMOS power has dynamic, short-circuit and leakage parts, and leakage dominates idle blocks. * Lowering V_DD helps dynamic power but hurts speed, and lowering V_th hurts leakage. * An MTJ stores a bit as a magnetic state that needs no power to hold, and it can be written by spin-transfer torque. * Hybrid MTJ/CMOS circuits, especially non-volatile flip-flops, make power gating cheaper. * Whether it pays off depends on the break-even time, so it suits rarely active, state-holding blocks. == 13.

Mature CMOS techniques come first: * '''Clock gating''' stops the clock to idle registers, which removes dynamic power but not leakage. * '''Multi-V_th design''' uses fast, leaky transistors only on critical paths. * '''Power gating''' cuts the supply to an idle block using a header or footer switch. * '''Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS)''' matches voltage to workload. Power gating has a weakness that leads directly to the topic of this chapter: when the supply is switched off, every ordinary flip-flop and SRAM cell forgets its state. Saving that state in a separate memory, then restoring it, takes time and energy. If the state itself were non-volatile, power gating would become cheaper and could be used more often. == 5. Spintronics fundamentals == === 5.1 Charge, spin and spin polarisation === Conventional electronics uses only the charge of the electron. Spintronics also uses the electron's spin, a quantum property that behaves like a tiny magnetic moment pointing "up" or "down" relative to a chosen axis.<ref name="zutic2004" /> A ferromagnet has more electrons of one spin direction than the other, so current passing through it becomes spin-polarised. === 5.2 The magnetic tunnel junction === An MTJ is a sandwich of two ferromagnetic layers separated by an ultrathin insulator, most often MgO. * The '''fixed (reference) layer''' keeps its magnetisation direction. * The '''free layer''' can point either parallel or antiparallel to the fixed layer. * Electrons tunnel through the barrier more easily when the layers are parallel, so resistance is low (R_P). When they are antiparallel, resistance is high (R_AP). <math>TMR = \frac{R_{AP}-R_{P}}{R_{P}}</math> [[File:Fig 2 cmos.jpg|border|center|thumb|416x416px|'''Figure 2.''' An MTJ in its two stable states. The bit is stored as magnetisation and does not need power to be held.]] A higher TMR means a bigger gap between the two resistances, so the sense amplifier has an easier job. In practice, process variation shrinks that gap, which is why read margin is a real design concern. === 5.3 Reading a bit === A small current is passed through the MTJ and the resulting resistance is compared with a reference by a sense amplifier. The read current must stay well below the switching current, otherwise a read could disturb the stored value. === 5.4 Writing a bit: spin-transfer torque === Electrons passing through the fixed layer become spin-polarised, and when they enter the free layer they transfer angular momentum to it. If the current exceeds a critical value I_c, the free layer flips. Reversing the current direction flips it back.<ref name="slonczewski1996" /> Two points are worth remembering: * Writing is '''current-driven''', so write energy depends on how large the current is and how long it flows. * Reading uses a much smaller current than writing. === 5.5 Other switching mechanisms === {| class="wikitable" !

Before the block goes to sleep, the flip-flop's value is ''stored'' into the MTJ. After wake-up, the value is ''restored''. [[File:Fig4_NV_flipflop.svg|thumb|center|620px|'''Figure 4.''' A power-gated block using a flip-flop with MTJ backup.]] This changes what power gating costs. With volatile state, registers must be copied elsewhere before sleeping. With an NVFF, the state is already stored next to the register. === 6.3 The break-even time === Storing and restoring costs energy, so sleeping only pays off if the block stays asleep long enough. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{E_{store} + E_{restore}}{P_{leak}}</math> If the expected idle period is longer than t_BE, power gating with NVFFs saves energy. If it is shorter, the overhead wins and it is better to stay on. This relationship is a useful tool for deciding where spin-based state belongs in a design. '''Worked example.''' Suppose a small block leaks 20&nbsp;µW and the store and restore operations together cost 10&nbsp;nJ. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{10\ \text{nJ}}{20\ \mu\text{W}} = 0.5\ \text{ms}</math> Any idle period longer than half a millisecond is a candidate for gating. A sensor node that wakes once per second sleeps about 2000 times longer than this, so the saving is large. A block that is idle for only microseconds between bursts is not a candidate. === 6.4 Logic-in-memory === Moving data between memory and logic often costs more energy than the computation itself. Placing small logic circuits next to, or inside, non-volatile arrays reduces that movement. This idea appears in surveys of spin-transfer torque memories and their circuit-level uses.<ref name="fong2016">{{cite journal |last1=Fong |first1=X. |last2=Kim |first2=Y. |last3=Venkatesan |first3=R. |last4=Choday |first4=S.

Challenges and limitations == Spintronics is not a free lunch. The main drawbacks are: * '''Write energy and current.''' Flipping an MTJ generally takes more energy than flipping an SRAM cell. * '''Read margin.''' Limited TMR and process variation make sensing harder at small sizes. * '''Thermal stability versus writability.''' A magnet that holds data for years is, by definition, harder to flip. Designers must balance retention against switching current. * '''Integration.''' Extra process steps and materials add cost and complexity. == 10. An RTL designer's checklist == Non-volatility does not add new Verilog keywords, but it changes the architecture. A practical way to think about it: # '''Find idle blocks.''' Profile which modules sit idle for long periods. # '''Choose the retention set.''' Decide which registers must survive power-down and which can be reset. # '''Estimate t_BE.''' Compare it with the expected idle times. # '''Extend the power-management FSM.''' Add store, power-off, power-on and restore states. # '''Verify wake-up equivalence.''' Simulate a sleep/wake cycle and check that the block resumes exactly where it stopped. For example, a small peripheral such as a UART or timer that sits idle between sensor readings is a better candidate than a core datapath that switches every cycle. == 11.

Mature CMOS techniques come first: * '''Clock gating''' stops the clock to idle registers, which removes dynamic power but not leakage. * '''Multi-V_th design''' uses fast, leaky transistors only on critical paths. * '''Power gating''' cuts the supply to an idle block using a header or footer switch. * '''Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS)''' matches voltage to workload. Power gating has a weakness that leads directly to the topic of this chapter: when the supply is switched off, every ordinary flip-flop and SRAM cell forgets its state. Saving that state in a separate memory, then restoring it, takes time and energy. If the state itself were non-volatile, power gating would become cheaper and could be used more often. == 5. Spintronics fundamentals == === 5.1 Charge, spin and spin polarisation === Conventional electronics uses only the charge of the electron. Spintronics also uses the electron's spin, a quantum property that behaves like a tiny magnetic moment pointing "up" or "down" relative to a chosen axis.<ref name="zutic2004" /> A ferromagnet has more electrons of one spin direction than the other, so current passing through it becomes spin-polarised. === 5.2 The magnetic tunnel junction === An MTJ is a sandwich of two ferromagnetic layers separated by an ultrathin insulator, most often MgO. * The '''fixed (reference) layer''' keeps its magnetisation direction. * The '''free layer''' can point either parallel or antiparallel to the fixed layer. * Electrons tunnel through the barrier more easily when the layers are parallel, so resistance is low (R_P). When they are antiparallel, resistance is high (R_AP). <math>TMR = \frac{R_{AP}-R_{P}}{R_{P}}</math> [[File:Fig 2 cmos.jpg|border|center|thumb|416x416px|'''Figure 2.''' An MTJ in its two stable states. The bit is stored as magnetisation and does not need power to be held.]] A higher TMR means a bigger gap between the two resistances, so the sense amplifier has an easier job. In practice, process variation shrinks that gap, which is why read margin is a real design concern. === 5.3 Reading a bit === A small current is passed through the MTJ and the resulting resistance is compared with a reference by a sense amplifier. The read current must stay well below the switching current, otherwise a read could disturb the stored value. === 5.4 Writing a bit: spin-transfer torque === Electrons passing through the fixed layer become spin-polarised, and when they enter the free layer they transfer angular momentum to it. If the current exceeds a critical value I_c, the free layer flips. Reversing the current direction flips it back.<ref name="slonczewski1996" /> Two points are worth remembering: * Writing is '''current-driven''', so write energy depends on how large the current is and how long it flows. * Reading uses a much smaller current than writing. === 5.5 Other switching mechanisms === {| class="wikitable" !

Before the block goes to sleep, the flip-flop's value is ''stored'' into the MTJ. After wake-up, the value is ''restored''. [[File:Untitled Diagram (2).jpg|center|thumb|518x518px|'''Figure 4.''' A power-gated block using a flip-flop with MTJ backup.]] This changes what power gating costs. With volatile state, registers must be copied elsewhere before sleeping. With an NVFF, the state is already stored next to the register. === 6.3 The break-even time === Storing and restoring costs energy, so sleeping only pays off if the block stays asleep long enough. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{E_{store} + E_{restore}}{P_{leak}}</math> If the expected idle period is longer than t_BE, power gating with NVFFs saves energy. If it is shorter, the overhead wins and it is better to stay on. This relationship is a useful tool for deciding where spin-based state belongs in a design. '''Worked example.''' Suppose a small block leaks 20&nbsp;µW and the store and restore operations together cost 10&nbsp;nJ. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{10\ \text{nJ}}{20\ \mu\text{W}} = 0.5\ \text{ms}</math> Any idle period longer than half a millisecond is a candidate for gating. A sensor node that wakes once per second sleeps about 2000 times longer than this, so the saving is large. A block that is idle for only microseconds between bursts is not a candidate. === 6.4 Logic-in-memory === Moving data between memory and logic often costs more energy than the computation itself. Placing small logic circuits next to, or inside, non-volatile arrays reduces that movement.

Challenges and limitations == Spintronics is not a free lunch. The main drawbacks are: * '''Write energy and current.''' Flipping an MTJ generally takes more energy than flipping an SRAM cell. * '''Read margin.''' Limited TMR and process variation make sensing harder at small sizes. * '''Thermal stability versus writability.''' A magnet that holds data for years is, by definition, harder to flip. Designers must balance retention against switching current. * '''Integration.''' Extra process steps and materials add cost and complexity. == 10. An RTL designer's checklist == Non-volatility does not add new Verilog keywords, but it changes the architecture. A practical way to think about it: # '''Find idle blocks.''' Profile which modules sit idle for long periods. # '''Choose the retention set.''' Decide which registers must survive power-down and which can be reset. # '''Estimate t_BE.''' Compare it with the expected idle times. # '''Extend the power-management FSM.''' Add store, power-off, power-on and restore states. # '''Verify wake-up equivalence.''' Simulate a sleep/wake cycle and check that the block resumes exactly where it stopped. For example, a small peripheral such as a UART or timer that sits idle between sensor readings is a better candidate than a core datapath that switches every cycle. == 11.

CMOS provides the logic. Spintronics provides a way to store information without constantly paying for it in energy. Combined, the two make some interesting circuits possible. == 1. Introduction == === 1.1 Overview === CMOS (complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor) technology is the basis of almost all modern digital integrated circuits. Spintronics is a field that uses the spin of the electron, in addition to its charge, to store and process information.[1] In a CMOS gate, paired p-type and n-type transistors mean that almost no current flows once the output has settled, so power is lost mainly when signals switch and through leakage current that continues even when the circuit is idle. Spin-based elements such as magnetic tunnel junctions store a bit in the magnetic orientation of a thin layer, and this state remains without power, which makes them non-volatile. This chapter first explains where CMOS circuits lose power, then shows how such elements can address part of that loss. === 1.2 Why this topic matters === Phones, wearables and sensor nodes spend most of their lives waiting. A chip that is idle still draws current, and over a day that waste can matter more than the bursts of real work.<ref name="kim2003">{{cite journal |last1=Kim |first1=N.

Background == === 2.1 Scaling and the power problem === Scaling rules described in 1974 allowed each transistor generation to be smaller, faster and lower in power per transistor.<ref name="dennard" /> Later, supply and threshold voltages could not be reduced at the same rate, and power became a main design constraint.<ref name="borkar2011" /> Static (leakage) power became a significant part of the total in deep-submicrometre technologies.<ref name="kim2003" /> === 2.2 A short history of spintronics === {| class="wikitable" !

Mature CMOS techniques come first: * '''Clock gating''' stops the clock to idle registers, which removes dynamic power but not leakage. * '''Multi-V_th design''' uses fast, leaky transistors only on critical paths. * '''Power gating''' cuts the supply to an idle block using a header or footer switch. * '''Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS)''' matches voltage to workload. Power gating has a weakness that leads directly to the topic of this chapter: when the supply is switched off, every ordinary flip-flop and SRAM cell forgets its state. Saving that state in a separate memory, then restoring it, takes time and energy. If the state itself were non-volatile, power gating would become cheaper and could be used more often. == 5. Spintronics fundamentals == === 5.1 Charge, spin and spin polarisation === Conventional electronics uses only the charge of the electron. Spintronics also uses the electron's spin, a quantum property that behaves like a tiny magnetic moment pointing "up" or "down" relative to a chosen axis.<ref name="zutic2004">{{cite journal |last1=Žutić |first1=I. |last2=Fabian |first2=J. |last3=Das Sarma |first3=S. |title=Spintronics: Fundamentals and applications |journal=Reviews of Modern Physics |year=2004 |volume=76 |issue=2 |pages=323–410}}</ref> A ferromagnet has more electrons of one spin direction than the other, so current passing through it becomes spin-polarised. === 5.2 The magnetic tunnel junction === An MTJ is a sandwich of two ferromagnetic layers separated by an ultrathin insulator, most often MgO. * The '''fixed (reference) layer''' keeps its magnetisation direction. * The '''free layer''' can point either parallel or antiparallel to the fixed layer. * Electrons tunnel through the barrier more easily when the layers are parallel, so resistance is low (R_P). When they are antiparallel, resistance is high (R_AP). <math>TMR = \frac{R_{AP}-R_{P}}{R_{P}}</math> [[File:Fig 2 cmos.jpg|border|center|thumb|416x416px|'''Figure 2.''' An MTJ in its two stable states. The bit is stored as magnetisation and does not need power to be held.]] A higher TMR means a bigger gap between the two resistances, so the sense amplifier has an easier job. In practice, process variation shrinks that gap, which is why read margin is a real design concern. === 5.3 Reading a bit === A small current is passed through the MTJ and the resulting resistance is compared with a reference by a sense amplifier. The read current must stay well below the switching current, otherwise a read could disturb the stored value. === 5.4 Writing a bit: spin-transfer torque === Electrons passing through the fixed layer become spin-polarised, and when they enter the free layer they transfer angular momentum to it. If the current exceeds a critical value I_c, the free layer flips. Reversing the current direction flips it back.<ref name="slonczewski1996" /> Two points are worth remembering: * Writing is '''current-driven''', so write energy depends on how large the current is and how long it flows. * Reading uses a much smaller current than writing. === 5.5 Other switching mechanisms === {| class="wikitable" !

Before the block goes to sleep, the flip-flop's value is ''stored'' into the MTJ. After wake-up, the value is ''restored''. [[File:Untitled Diagram (2).jpg|center|thumb|518x518px|'''Figure 4.''' A power-gated block using a flip-flop with MTJ backup.]] This changes what power gating costs. With volatile state, registers must be copied elsewhere before sleeping. With an NVFF, the state is already stored next to the register. === 6.3 The break-even time === Storing and restoring costs energy, so sleeping only pays off if the block stays asleep long enough. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{E_{store} + E_{restore}}{P_{leak}}</math> If the expected idle period is longer than t_BE, power gating with NVFFs saves energy. If it is shorter, the overhead wins and it is better to stay on. This relationship is a useful tool for deciding where spin-based state belongs in a design. '''Worked example.''' Suppose a small block leaks 20&nbsp;µW and the store and restore operations together cost 10&nbsp;nJ. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{10\ \text{nJ}}{20\ \mu\text{W}} = 0.5\ \text{ms}</math> Any idle period longer than half a millisecond is a candidate for gating. A sensor node that wakes once per second sleeps about 2000 times longer than this, so the saving is large. A block that is idle for only microseconds between bursts is not a candidate. === 6.4 Logic-in-memory === Moving data between memory and logic often costs more energy than the computation itself. Placing small logic circuits next to, or inside, non-volatile arrays reduces that movement.

Challenges and limitations == Spintronics is not a free lunch. The main drawbacks are: * '''Write energy and current.''' Flipping an MTJ generally takes more energy than flipping an SRAM cell. * '''Read margin.''' Limited TMR and process variation make sensing harder at small sizes. * '''Thermal stability versus writability.''' A magnet that holds data for years is, by definition, harder to flip. Designers must balance retention against switching current. * '''Integration.''' Extra process steps and materials add cost and complexity. == 10. An RTL designer's checklist == Non-volatility does not add new Verilog keywords, but it changes the architecture. A practical way to think about it: # '''Find idle blocks.''' Profile which modules sit idle for long periods. # '''Choose the retention set.''' Decide which registers must survive power-down and which can be reset. # '''Estimate t_BE.''' Compare it with the expected idle times. # '''Extend the power-management FSM.''' Add store, power-off, power-on and restore states. # '''Verify wake-up equivalence.''' Simulate a sleep/wake cycle and check that the block resumes exactly where it stopped. For example, a small peripheral such as a UART or timer that sits idle between sensor readings is a better candidate than a core datapath that switches every cycle. == 11.

CMOS provides the logic. Spintronics provides a way to store information without constantly paying for it in energy. Combined, the two make some interesting circuits possible. == 1. Introduction == === 1.1 Overview === CMOS (complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor) technology is the basis of almost all modern digital integrated circuits. Spintronics is a field that uses the spin of the electron, in addition to its charge, to store and process information. This chapter first explains where CMOS circuits lose power, then shows how non-volatile spin-based elements can address part of that loss. === 1.2 Why this topic matters === Phones, wearables and sensor nodes spend most of their lives waiting. A chip that is idle still draws current, and over a day that waste can matter more than the bursts of real work.<ref name="kim2003">{{cite journal |last1=Kim |first1=N.

Power gating has a weakness that leads directly to the topic of this chapter: when the supply is switched off, every ordinary flip-flop and SRAM cell forgets its state. Saving that state in a separate memory, then restoring it, takes time and energy. If the state itself were non-volatile, power gating would become cheaper and could be used more often. == 5.

When they are antiparallel, resistance is high (R_AP). <math>TMR = \frac{R_{AP}-R_{P}}{R_{P}}</math> [[File:Fig 2 cmos.jpg|center|thumb|416x416px|'''Figure 2.''' An MTJ in its two stable states. The bit is stored as magnetization and does not need power to be held.]] A higher TMR means a bigger gap between the two resistances, so the sense amplifier has an easier job. In practice, process variation shrinks that gap, which is why read margin is a real design concern. === 5.3 Reading a bit === A small current is passed through the MTJ and the resulting resistance is compared with a reference by a sense amplifier. The read current must stay well below the switching current, otherwise a read could disturb the stored value. === 5.4 Writing a bit: spin-transfer torque === Electrons passing through the fixed layer become spin-polarised, and when they enter the free layer they transfer angular momentum to it. If the current exceeds a critical value I_c, the free layer flips. Reversing the current direction flips it back.<ref name="slonczewski1996" /> Two points are worth remembering: * Writing is '''current-driven''', so write energy depends on how large the current is and how long it flows. * Reading uses a much smaller current than writing. === 5.5 Other switching mechanisms === {| class="wikitable" !

Before the block goes to sleep, the flip-flop's value is ''stored'' into the MTJ. After wake-up, the value is ''restored''. [[File:Untitled Diagram (2).jpg|center|thumb|518x518px|'''Figure 4.''' A power-gated block using a flip-flop with MTJ backup.]] This changes what power gating costs. With volatile state, registers must be copied elsewhere before sleeping. With an NVFF, the state is already stored next to the register. === 6.3 The break-even time === Storing and restoring costs energy, so sleeping only pays off if the block stays asleep long enough. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{E_{store} + E_{restore}}{P_{leak}}</math> If the expected idle period is longer than t_BE, power gating with NVFFs saves energy. If it is shorter, the overhead wins and it is better to stay on. This relationship is a useful tool for deciding where spin-based state belongs in a design. '''Worked example.''' Suppose a small block leaks 20&nbsp;µW and the store and restore operations together cost 10&nbsp;nJ. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{10\ \text{nJ}}{20\ \mu\text{W}} = 0.5\ \text{ms}</math> Any idle period longer than half a millisecond is a candidate for gating. A sensor node that wakes once per second sleeps about 2000 times longer than this, so the saving is large. A block that is idle for only microseconds between bursts is not a candidate. === 6.4 Logic-in-memory === Moving data between memory and logic often costs more energy than the computation itself. Placing small logic circuits next to, or inside, non-volatile arrays reduces that movement. This idea appears in surveys of spin-transfer torque memories and their circuit-level uses.<ref name="fong2016">{{cite journal |last1=Fong |first1=X. |last2=Kim |first2=Y. |last3=Venkatesan |first3=R. |last4=Choday |first4=S.

Challenges and limitations == Spintronics is not a free lunch. The main drawbacks are: * '''Write energy and current.''' Flipping an MTJ generally takes more energy than flipping an SRAM cell. * '''Read margin.''' Limited TMR and process variation make sensing harder at small sizes. * '''Thermal stability versus writability.''' A magnet that holds data for years is, by definition, harder to flip. Designers must balance retention against switching current. * '''Integration.''' Extra process steps and materials add cost and complexity. == 10. An RTL designer's checklist == Non-volatility does not add new Verilog keywords, but it changes the architecture. A practical way to think about it: # '''Find idle blocks.''' Profile which modules sit idle for long periods. # '''Choose the retention set.''' Decide which registers must survive power-down and which can be reset. # '''Estimate t_BE.''' Compare it with the expected idle times. # '''Extend the power-management FSM.''' Add store, power-off, power-on and restore states. # '''Verify wake-up equivalence.''' Simulate a sleep/wake cycle and check that the block resumes exactly where it stopped. For example, a small peripheral such as a UART or timer that sits idle between sensor readings is a better candidate than a core datapath that switches every cycle. == 11.

CMOS provides the logic. Spintronics provides a way to store information without constantly paying for it in energy. Combined, the two make some interesting circuits possible. == 1. Introduction == === 1.1 Overview === CMOS (complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor) technology is the basis of almost all modern digital integrated circuits. Spintronics is a field that uses the spin of the electron, in addition to its charge, to store and process information. This chapter first explains where CMOS circuits lose power, then shows how non-volatile spin-based elements can address part of that loss. === 1.2 Why this topic matters === Phones, wearables and sensor nodes spend most of their lives waiting. A chip that is idle still draws current, and over a day that waste can matter more than the bursts of real work.<ref name="kim2003">{{cite journal |last1=Kim |first1=N.

Mature CMOS techniques come first: * '''Clock gating''' stops the clock to idle registers, which removes dynamic power but not leakage. * '''Multi-V_th design''' uses fast, leaky transistors only on critical paths. * '''Power gating''' cuts the supply to an idle block using a header or footer switch. * '''Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS)''' matches voltage to workload. Power gating has a weakness that leads directly to the topic of this chapter: when the supply is switched off, every ordinary flip-flop and SRAM cell forgets its state. Saving that state in a separate memory, then restoring it, takes time and energy. If the state itself were non-volatile, power gating would become cheaper and could be used more often. == 5. Spintronics fundamentals == === 5.1 Charge, spin and spin polarization === Conventional electronics uses only the charge of the electron. Spintronics also uses the electron's spin, a quantum property that behaves like a tiny magnetic moment pointing "up" or "down" relative to a chosen axis.<ref name="zutic2004">{{cite journal |last1=Žutić |first1=I. |last2=Fabian |first2=J. |last3=Das Sarma |first3=S. |title=Spintronics: Fundamentals and applications |journal=Reviews of Modern Physics |year=2004 |volume=76 |issue=2 |pages=323–410|url=https://doi.org/10.1103/RevModPhys.76.323}}</ref> A ferromagnet has more electrons of one spin direction than the other, so current passing through it becomes spin-polarized. === 5.2 The magnetic tunnel junction === An MTJ is a sandwich of two ferromagnetic layers separated by an ultrathin insulator, most often MgO. * The '''fixed (reference) layer''' keeps its magnetization direction. * The '''free layer''' can point either parallel or antiparallel to the fixed layer. * Electrons tunnel through the barrier more easily when the layers are parallel, so resistance is low (R_P). When they are antiparallel, resistance is high (R_AP). <math>TMR = \frac{R_{AP}-R_{P}}{R_{P}}</math> [[File:Fig 2 cmos.jpg|thumb|390x390px|'''Figure 2.''' An MTJ in its two stable states. The bit is stored as magnetization and does not need power to be held.|left]] A higher TMR means a bigger gap between the two resistances, so the sense amplifier has an easier job. In practice, process variation shrinks that gap, which is why read margin is a real design concern. === 5.3 Reading a bit === A small current is passed through the MTJ and the resulting resistance is compared with a reference by a sense amplifier. The read current must stay well below the switching current, otherwise a read could disturb the stored value. === 5.4 Writing a bit: spin-transfer torque === Electrons passing through the fixed layer become spin-polarized, and when they enter the free layer they transfer angular momentum to it. If the current exceeds a critical value I_c, the free layer flips. Reversing the current direction flips it back.<ref name="slonczewski1996" /> Two points are worth remembering: * Writing is '''current-driven''', so write energy depends on how large the current is and how long it flows. * Reading uses a much smaller current than writing. === 5.5 Other switching mechanisms === {| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" !

Before the block goes to sleep, the flip-flop's value is ''stored'' into the MTJ. After wake-up, the value is ''restored''. [[File:Untitled Diagram (2).jpg|thumb|517x517px|'''Figure 4.''' A power-gated block using a flip-flop with MTJ backup.|left]] This changes what power gating costs. With volatile state, registers must be copied elsewhere before sleeping. With an NVFF, the state is already stored next to the register. === 6.3 The break-even time === Storing and restoring costs energy, so sleeping only pays off if the block stays asleep long enough. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{E_{store} + E_{restore}}{P_{leak}}</math> If the expected idle period is longer than t_BE, power gating with NVFFs saves energy. If it is shorter, the overhead wins and it is better to stay on. This relationship is a useful tool for deciding where spin-based state belongs in a design. '''Worked example.''' Suppose a small block leaks 20&nbsp;µW and the store and restore operations together cost 10&nbsp;nJ. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{10\ \text{nJ}}{20\ \mu\text{W}} = 0.5\ \text{ms}</math> Any idle period longer than half a millisecond is a candidate for gating. A sensor node that wakes once per second sleeps about 2000 times longer than this, so the saving is large. A block that is idle for only microseconds between bursts is not a candidate. === 6.4 Logic-in-memory === Moving data between memory and logic often costs more energy than the computation itself. Placing small logic circuits next to, or inside, non-volatile arrays reduces that movement.

Challenges and limitations == Spintronics is not a free lunch. The main drawbacks are: * '''Write energy and current.''' Flipping an MTJ generally takes more energy than flipping an SRAM cell. * '''Read margin.''' Limited TMR and process variation make sensing harder at small sizes. * '''Thermal stability versus writability.''' A magnet that holds data for years is, by definition, harder to flip. Designers must balance retention against switching current. * '''Integration.''' Extra process steps and materials add cost and complexity. == 10. An RTL designer's checklist == Non-volatility does not add new Verilog keywords, but it changes the architecture. A practical way to think about it: # '''Find idle blocks.''' Profile which modules sit idle for long periods. # '''Choose the retention set.''' Decide which registers must survive power-down and which can be reset. # '''Estimate t_BE.''' Compare it with the expected idle times. # '''Extend the power-management FSM.''' Add store, power-off, power-on and restore states. # '''Verify wake-up equivalence.''' Simulate a sleep/wake cycle and check that the block resumes exactly where it stopped. For example, a small peripheral such as a UART or timer that sits idle between sensor readings is a better candidate than a core data path that switches every cycle. == 11.

CMOS provides the logic. Spintronics provides a way to store information without constantly paying for it in energy. Combined, the two make some interesting circuits possible. == 1. Introduction == === 1.1 Overview === CMOS (complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor) technology is the basis of almost all modern digital integrated circuits. Spintronics is a field that uses the spin of the electron, in addition to its charge, to store and process information. This chapter first explains where CMOS circuits lose power, then shows how non-volatile spin-based elements can address part of that loss. === 1.2 Why this topic matters === Phones, wearables and sensor nodes spend most of their lives waiting. A chip that is idle still draws current, and over a day that waste can matter more than the bursts of real work.<ref name="kim2003">{{cite journal |last1=Kim |first1=N.

Background == === 2.1 Scaling and the power problem === Scaling rules described in 1974 allowed each transistor generation to be smaller, faster and lower in power per transistor.<ref name="dennard" /> Later, supply and threshold voltages could not be reduced at the same rate, and power became a main design constraint.<ref name="borkar2011" /> Static (leakage) power became a significant part of the total in deep-submicrometric technologies.<ref name="kim2003" /> === 2.2 A short history of spintronics === {| class="wikitable" !

Mature CMOS techniques come first: * '''Clock gating''' stops the clock to idle registers, which removes dynamic power but not leakage. * '''Multi-V_th design''' uses fast, leaky transistors only on critical paths. * '''Power gating''' cuts the supply to an idle block using a header or footer switch. * '''Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS)''' matches voltage to workload. Power gating has a weakness that leads directly to the topic of this chapter: when the supply is switched off, every ordinary flip-flop and SRAM cell forgets its state. Saving that state in a separate memory, then restoring it, takes time and energy. If the state itself were non-volatile, power gating would become cheaper and could be used more often. == 5. Spintronics fundamentals == === 5.1 Charge, spin and spin polarization === Conventional electronics uses only the charge of the electron. Spintronics also uses the electron's spin, a quantum property that behaves like a tiny magnetic moment pointing "up" or "down" relative to a chosen axis.<ref name="zutic2004">{{cite journal |last1=Žutić |first1=I. |last2=Fabian |first2=J. |last3=Das Sarma |first3=S. |title=Spintronics: Fundamentals and applications |journal=Reviews of Modern Physics |year=2004 |volume=76 |issue=2 |pages=323–410|url=https://doi.org/10.1103/RevModPhys.76.323}}</ref> A ferromagnet has more electrons of one spin direction than the other, so current passing through it becomes spin-polarized. === 5.2 The magnetic tunnel junction === An MTJ is a sandwich of two ferromagnetic layers separated by an ultrathin insulator, most often MgO. * The '''fixed (reference) layer''' keeps its magnetization direction. * The '''free layer''' can point either parallel or antiparallel to the fixed layer. * Electrons tunnel through the barrier more easily when the layers are parallel, so resistance is low (R_P). When they are antiparallel, resistance is high (R_AP). <math>TMR = \frac{R_{AP}-R_{P}}{R_{P}}</math> [[File:Fig 2 cmos.jpg|thumb|390x390px|'''Figure 2.''' An MTJ in its two stable states. The bit is stored as magnetization and does not need power to be held.|left]] A higher TMR means a bigger gap between the two resistances, so the sense amplifier has an easier job. In practice, process variation shrinks that gap, which is why read margin is a real design concern. === 5.3 Reading a bit === A small current is passed through the MTJ and the resulting resistance is compared with a reference by a sense amplifier. The read current must stay well below the switching current, otherwise a read could disturb the stored value. === 5.4 Writing a bit: spin-transfer torque === Electrons passing through the fixed layer become spin-polarized, and when they enter the free layer they transfer angular momentum to it. If the current exceeds a critical value I_c, the free layer flips. Reversing the current direction flips it back.<ref name="slonczewski1996" /> Two points are worth remembering: * Writing is '''current-driven''', so write energy depends on how large the current is and how long it flows. * Reading uses a much smaller current than writing. === 5.5 Other switching mechanisms === {| class="wikitable" !

Before the block goes to sleep, the flip-flop's value is ''stored'' into the MTJ. After wake-up, the value is ''restored''. [[File:Untitled Diagram (2).jpg|thumb|517x517px|'''Figure 4.''' A power-gated block using a flip-flop with MTJ backup.|left]] This changes what power gating costs. With volatile state, registers must be copied elsewhere before sleeping. With an NVFF, the state is already stored next to the register. === 6.3 The break-even time === Storing and restoring costs energy, so sleeping only pays off if the block stays asleep long enough. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{E_{store} + E_{restore}}{P_{leak}}</math> If the expected idle period is longer than t_BE, power gating with NVFFs saves energy. If it is shorter, the overhead wins and it is better to stay on. This relationship is a useful tool for deciding where spin-based state belongs in a design. '''Worked example.''' Suppose a small block leaks 20&nbsp;µW and the store and restore operations together cost 10&nbsp;nJ. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{10\ \text{nJ}}{20\ \mu\text{W}} = 0.5\ \text{ms}</math> Any idle period longer than half a millisecond is a candidate for gating. A sensor node that wakes once per second sleeps about 2000 times longer than this, so the saving is large. A block that is idle for only microseconds between bursts is not a candidate. === 6.4 Logic-in-memory === Moving data between memory and logic often costs more energy than the computation itself. Placing small logic circuits next to, or inside, non-volatile arrays reduces that movement. This idea appears in surveys of spin-transfer torque memories and their circuit-level uses.<ref name="fong2016">{{cite journal |last1=Fong |first1=X. |last2=Kim |first2=Y. |last3=Venkatesan |first3=R. |last4=Choday |first4=S.

Challenges and limitations == Spintronics is not a free lunch. The main drawbacks are: * '''Write energy and current.''' Flipping an MTJ generally takes more energy than flipping an SRAM cell. * '''Read margin.''' Limited TMR and process variation make sensing harder at small sizes. * '''Thermal stability versus writability.''' A magnet that holds data for years is, by definition, harder to flip. Designers must balance retention against switching current. * '''Integration.''' Extra process steps and materials add cost and complexity. == 10. An RTL designer's checklist == Non-volatility does not add new Verilog keywords, but it changes the architecture. A practical way to think about it: # '''Find idle blocks.''' Profile which modules sit idle for long periods. # '''Choose the retention set.''' Decide which registers must survive power-down and which can be reset. # '''Estimate t_BE.''' Compare it with the expected idle times. # '''Extend the power-management FSM.''' Add store, power-off, power-on and restore states. # '''Verify wake-up equivalence.''' Simulate a sleep/wake cycle and check that the block resumes exactly where it stopped. For example, a small peripheral such as a UART or timer that sits idle between sensor readings is a better candidate than a core data path that switches every cycle. == 11.

Summary == * CMOS power has dynamic, short-circuit and leakage parts, and leakage dominates idle blocks. * Lowering V_DD helps dynamic power but hurts speed, and lowering V_th hurts leakage. * An MTJ stores a bit as a magnetic state that needs no power to hold, and it can be written by spin-transfer torque. * Hybrid MTJ/CMOS circuits, especially non-volatile flip-flops, make power gating cheaper. * Whether it pays off depends on the break-even time, so it suits rarely active, state-holding blocks. == 13.

CMOS provides the logic. Spintronics provides a way to store information without constantly paying for it in energy. Combined, the two make some interesting circuits possible. == 1. Introduction == === 1.1 Overview === CMOS (complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor) technology is the basis of almost all modern digital integrated circuits. Spintronics is a field that uses the spin of the electron, in addition to its charge, to store and process information. This chapter first explains where CMOS circuits lose power, then shows how non-volatile spin-based elements can address part of that loss. === 1.2 Why this topic matters === Phones, wearables and sensor nodes spend most of their lives waiting. A chip that is idle still draws current, and over a day that waste can matter more than the bursts of real work.<ref name="kim2003">{{cite journal |last1=Kim |first1=N.

Background == === 2.1 Scaling and the power problem === Scaling rules described in 1974 allowed each transistor generation to be smaller, faster and lower in power per transistor.<ref name="dennard" /> Later, supply and threshold voltages could not be reduced at the same rate, and power became a main design constraint.<ref name="borkar2011" /> Static (leakage) power became a significant part of the total in deep-submicrometric technologies.<ref name="kim2003" /> === 2.2 A short history of spintronics === {| class="wikitable" !

Mature CMOS techniques come first: * '''Clock gating''' stops the clock to idle registers, which removes dynamic power but not leakage. * '''Multi-V_th design''' uses fast, leaky transistors only on critical paths. * '''Power gating''' cuts the supply to an idle block using a header or footer switch. * '''Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS)''' matches voltage to workload. Power gating has a weakness that leads directly to the topic of this chapter: when the supply is switched off, every ordinary flip-flop and SRAM cell forgets its state. Saving that state in a separate memory, then restoring it, takes time and energy. If the state itself were non-volatile, power gating would become cheaper and could be used more often. == 5. Spintronics fundamentals == === 5.1 Charge, spin and spin polarization === Conventional electronics uses only the charge of the electron. Spintronics also uses the electron's spin, a quantum property that behaves like a tiny magnetic moment pointing "up" or "down" relative to a chosen axis.<ref name="zutic2004">{{cite journal |last1=Žutić |first1=I. |last2=Fabian |first2=J. |last3=Das Sarma |first3=S. |title=Spintronics: Fundamentals and applications |journal=Reviews of Modern Physics |year=2004 |volume=76 |issue=2 |pages=323–410|url=https://doi.org/10.1103/RevModPhys.76.323}}</ref> A ferromagnet has more electrons of one spin direction than the other, so current passing through it becomes spin-polarized. === 5.2 The magnetic tunnel junction === An MTJ is a sandwich of two ferromagnetic layers separated by an ultrathin insulator, most often MgO. * The '''fixed (reference) layer''' keeps its magnetization direction. * The '''free layer''' can point either parallel or antiparallel to the fixed layer. * Electrons tunnel through the barrier more easily when the layers are parallel, so resistance is low (R_P). When they are antiparallel, resistance is high (R_AP). <math>TMR = \frac{R_{AP}-R_{P}}{R_{P}}</math> [[File:Fig 2 cmos.jpg|thumb|390x390px|'''Figure 2.''' An MTJ in its two stable states. The bit is stored as magnetization and does not need power to be held.|left]] A higher TMR means a bigger gap between the two resistances, so the sense amplifier has an easier job. In practice, process variation shrinks that gap, which is why read margin is a real design concern. === 5.3 Reading a bit === A small current is passed through the MTJ and the resulting resistance is compared with a reference by a sense amplifier. The read current must stay well below the switching current, otherwise a read could disturb the stored value. === 5.4 Writing a bit: spin-transfer torque === Electrons passing through the fixed layer become spin-polarized, and when they enter the free layer they transfer angular momentum to it. If the current exceeds a critical value I_c, the free layer flips. Reversing the current direction flips it back.<ref name="slonczewski1996" /> Two points are worth remembering: * Writing is '''current-driven''', so write energy depends on how large the current is and how long it flows. * Reading uses a much smaller current than writing. === 5.5 Other switching mechanisms === {| class="wikitable" !

Challenges and limitations == Spintronics is not a free lunch. The main drawbacks are: * '''Write energy and current.''' Flipping an MTJ generally takes more energy than flipping an SRAM cell. * '''Read margin.''' Limited TMR and process variation make sensing harder at small sizes. * '''Thermal stability versus writability.''' A magnet that holds data for years is, by definition, harder to flip. Designers must balance retention against switching current. * '''Integration.''' Extra process steps and materials add cost and complexity. == 10. An RTL designer's checklist == Non-volatility does not add new Verilog keywords, but it changes the architecture. A practical way to think about it: # '''Find idle blocks.''' Profile which modules sit idle for long periods. # '''Choose the retention set.''' Decide which registers must survive power-down and which can be reset. # '''Estimate t_BE.''' Compare it with the expected idle times. # '''Extend the power-management FSM.''' Add store, power-off, power-on and restore states. # '''Verify wake-up equivalence.''' Simulate a sleep/wake cycle and check that the block resumes exactly where it stopped. For example, a small peripheral such as a UART or timer that sits idle between sensor readings is a better candidate than a core data path that switches every cycle. == 11.

CMOS provides the logic. Spintronics provides a way to store information without constantly paying for it in energy. Combined, the two make some interesting circuits possible. == 1. Introduction == === 1.1 Overview === CMOS (complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor) technology is the basis of almost all modern digital integrated circuits. Spintronics is a field that uses the spin of the electron, in addition to its charge, to store and process information. This chapter first explains where CMOS circuits lose power, then shows how non-volatile spin-based elements can address part of that loss. === 1.2 Why this topic matters === Phones, wearables and sensor nodes spend most of their lives waiting. A chip that is idle still draws current, and over a day that waste can matter more than the bursts of real work.<ref name="kim2003">{{cite journal |last1=Kim |first1=N.

Background == === 2.1 Scaling and the power problem === Scaling rules described in 1974 allowed each transistor generation to be smaller, faster and lower in power per transistor.<ref name="dennard" /> Later, supply and threshold voltages could not be reduced at the same rate, and power became a main design constraint.<ref name="borkar2011" /> Static (leakage) power became a significant part of the total in deep-submicrometric technologies.<ref name="kim2003" /> === 2.2 A short history of spintronics === {| class="wikitable" !

Mature CMOS techniques come first: * '''Clock gating''' stops the clock to idle registers, which removes dynamic power but not leakage. * '''Multi-V_th design''' uses fast, leaky transistors only on critical paths. * '''Power gating''' cuts the supply to an idle block using a header or footer switch. * '''Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS)''' matches voltage to workload. Power gating has a weakness that leads directly to the topic of this chapter: when the supply is switched off, every ordinary flip-flop and SRAM cell forgets its state. Saving that state in a separate memory, then restoring it, takes time and energy. If the state itself were non-volatile, power gating would become cheaper and could be used more often. == 5. Spintronics fundamentals == === 5.1 Charge, spin and spin polarization === Conventional electronics uses only the charge of the electron. Spintronics also uses the electron's spin, a quantum property that behaves like a tiny magnetic moment pointing "up" or "down" relative to a chosen axis.<ref name="zutic2004">{{cite journal |last1=Žutić |first1=I. |last2=Fabian |first2=J. |last3=Das Sarma |first3=S. |title=Spintronics: Fundamentals and applications |journal=Reviews of Modern Physics |year=2004 |volume=76 |issue=2 |pages=323–410|url=https://doi.org/10.1103/RevModPhys.76.323}}</ref> A ferromagnet has more electrons of one spin direction than the other, so current passing through it becomes spin-polarized. === 5.2 The magnetic tunnel junction === An MTJ is a sandwich of two ferromagnetic layers separated by an ultrathin insulator, most often MgO. * The '''fixed (reference) layer''' keeps its magnetization direction. * The '''free layer''' can point either parallel or antiparallel to the fixed layer. * Electrons tunnel through the barrier more easily when the layers are parallel, so resistance is low (R_P). When they are antiparallel, resistance is high (R_AP). <math>TMR = \frac{R_{AP}-R_{P}}{R_{P}}</math> [[File:Fig 2 cmos.jpg|thumb|478x478px|'''Figure 2.''' An MTJ in its two stable states. The bit is stored as magnetization and does not need power to be held.|left]] A higher TMR means a bigger gap between the two resistances, so the sense amplifier has an easier job. In practice, process variation shrinks that gap, which is why read margin is a real design concern. === 5.3 Reading a bit === A small current is passed through the MTJ and the resulting resistance is compared with a reference by a sense amplifier. The read current must stay well below the switching current, otherwise a read could disturb the stored value. === 5.4 Writing a bit: spin-transfer torque === Electrons passing through the fixed layer become spin-polarized, and when they enter the free layer they transfer angular momentum to it. If the current exceeds a critical value I_c, the free layer flips. Reversing the current direction flips it back.<ref name="slonczewski1996" /> Two points are worth remembering: * Writing is '''current-driven''', so write energy depends on how large the current is and how long it flows. * Reading uses a much smaller current than writing. === 5.5 Other switching mechanisms === {| class="wikitable" !

If it is shorter, the overhead wins and it is better to stay on. This relationship is a useful tool for deciding where spin-based state belongs in a design. '''Worked example.''' Suppose a small block leaks 20&nbsp;µW and the store and restore operations together cost 10&nbsp;nJ. <math>t_{BE} = \frac{10\ \text{nJ}}{20\ \mu\text{W}} = 0.5\ \text{ms}</math> Any idle period longer than half a millisecond is a candidate for gating.

Challenges and limitations == Spintronics is not a free lunch. The main drawbacks are: * '''Write energy and current.''' Flipping an MTJ generally takes more energy than flipping an SRAM cell. * '''Read margin.''' Limited TMR and process variation make sensing harder at small sizes. * '''Thermal stability versus writability.''' A magnet that holds data for years is, by definition, harder to flip. Designers must balance retention against switching current. * '''Integration.''' Extra process steps and materials add cost and complexity. == 10. An RTL designer's checklist == Non-volatility does not add new Verilog keywords, but it changes the architecture. A practical way to think about it: # '''Find idle blocks.''' Profile which modules sit idle for long periods. # '''Choose the retention set.''' Decide which registers must survive power-down and which can be reset. # '''Estimate t_BE.''' Compare it with the expected idle times. # '''Extend the power-management FSM.''' Add store, power-off, power-on and restore states. # '''Verify wake-up equivalence.''' Simulate a sleep/wake cycle and check that the block resumes exactly where it stopped. For example, a small peripheral such as a UART or timer that sits idle between sensor readings is a better candidate than a core data path that switches every cycle. == 11.

A voltage on the '''gate''' controls whether current flows between the '''source''' and the '''drain''' through the '''channel'''. A good switch turns fully on when asked and fully off otherwise. As transistors shrink, the off state becomes harder to guarantee, because the drain starts to influence the channel as strongly as the gate does, and current leaks. The history of transistor design since the 1960s is largely the history of giving the gate more control. The gate first sat on top of the channel (planar), then on three sides (FinFET), and now on all four sides (gate-all-around).<ref name="colinge2008">Colinge, J.-P. (ed.). ''FinFETs and Other Multi-Gate Transistors''. Springer, 2008.</ref> == Background == === Scaling and Moore's law === In 1965 Gordon Moore observed that the number of components on an integrated circuit was doubling at a regular interval, and he projected the trend forward.<ref name="moore1965">Moore, G. E. "Cramming more components onto integrated circuits." ''Electronics'' 38(8), 1965.</ref> Dennard and coworkers showed in 1974 that if all dimensions and the supply voltage are scaled down together, transistors become faster and keep the same power density.<ref name="dennard1974">Dennard, R. H. et al. "Design of ion-implanted MOSFET's with very small physical dimensions." ''IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits'' 9(5), 256–268, 1974.</ref> This "Dennard scaling" broke down in the 2000s, mainly because leakage current stopped shrinking with the devices. That pushed designers toward new device structures rather than simple shrinking. === The planar MOSFET and short-channel effects === In a planar MOSFET the channel is a thin layer at the silicon surface under a flat gate. When the channel length becomes very short, several unwanted effects appear: * '''Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL):''' the drain voltage lowers the energy barrier at the source, so the transistor turns on partly because of the drain rather than the gate. * '''Threshold voltage roll-off:''' the threshold voltage drops as channel length shrinks. * '''Poor subthreshold swing:''' the transistor turns off more slowly than ideal, so more current leaks in the off state. * '''Punch-through:''' the source and drain depletion regions approach each other and current flows below the surface where the gate has little influence. These effects are collectively called ''short-channel effects''.<ref name="taur2009">Taur, Y. and Ning, T. H. ''Fundamentals of Modern VLSI Devices'', 2nd ed. Cambridge University Press, 2009.</ref> === Multi-gate devices and the FinFET === An early idea for fixing this was to use a thin, fully depleted body and more than one gate. Colinge and coworkers demonstrated a silicon-on-insulator "gate-all-around" device as early as 1990.<ref name="colinge1990">Colinge, J.-P., Gao, M. H., Romano-Rodriguez, A., Maes, H. and Claeys, C. "Silicon-on-insulator 'gate-all-around device'." ''IEDM Technical Digest'', 595–598, 1990.</ref> The self-aligned FinFET was published by Hisamoto and coworkers,<ref name="hisamoto2000">Hisamoto, D. et al. "FinFET—a self-aligned double-gate MOSFET scalable to 20 nm." ''IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices'' 47(12), 2320–2325, 2000.</ref> and Intel brought a tri-gate FinFET to high-volume production at its 22 nm node in 2011. In a FinFET the channel is a tall, thin vertical "fin" and the gate covers its top and two sides. === Why FinFETs reach a limit === FinFETs have two practical limits at very small sizes: # '''Width quantization.''' Drive current can only be increased in whole steps by adding fins, so fine tuning of strength is difficult. # '''Electrostatics.''' To keep control, the fin must become thinner and taller. Very tall, thin fins are hard to pattern and mechanically fragile, and the bottom of the fin is controlled less well than the top. GAA transistors address both problems. == Working principle == === Electrostatic control === The ability of the gate to control the channel depends on geometry. A useful measure is the '''natural length''' of the device, which describes how far the drain's electric field reaches into the channel. A smaller natural length allows a shorter channel before short-channel effects dominate. Theory for cylindrical surround-gate devices showed that wrapping the gate around the body gives the smallest natural length for a given body thickness and oxide thickness.<ref name="auth1997">Auth, C. P. and Plummer, J. D. "Scaling theory for cylindrical, fully-depleted, surround-gate MOSFET's." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 18(2), 74–76, 1997.</ref> In simple terms, with the gate on every side there is no surface of the channel left for the drain to "reach around" and influence, so the barrier stays under the gate's control. === Subthreshold swing === The ''subthreshold swing'' (SS) tells you how many millivolts of gate voltage are needed to change drain current by a factor of ten in the off region. Its theoretical limit for a conventional MOSFET at temperature <math>T</math> is <math>SS_{min} = \frac{k_B T}{q}\ln(10) \approx 60\ \mathrm{mV/decade}\quad (T = 300\ \mathrm{K})</math> Devices with strong gate control approach this limit, while those with poor control show larger values.<ref name="sze2007">Sze, S. M. and Ng, K. K. ''Physics of Semiconductor Devices'', 3rd ed. Wiley, 2007.</ref> GAA devices get closest to the limit among silicon structures. === Effective channel width === For a fin with height <math>H_{fin}</math> and width <math>W_{fin}</math>, the gate covers about <math>W_{eff,\,FinFET} \approx 2H_{fin} + W_{fin}</math> For a stacked nanosheet device with <math>N</math> sheets of width <math>W_{sheet}</math> and thickness <math>T_{sheet}</math>, the gate covers all four faces of each sheet: <math>W_{eff,\,GAA} \approx N \cdot 2\,(W_{sheet} + T_{sheet})</math> This formula shows why stacking helps. More current can be obtained without using more chip area, because the sheets are on top of each other. It also shows why sheet width can be tuned continuously. == Types of GAA transistors == === Nanowire GAAFET === A nanowire GAA device has a channel with a roughly circular or square cross-section a few nanometres across. Early demonstrations reported silicon nanowire GAA CMOS devices with diameters below 5 nm and good electrostatic behaviour.<ref name="singh2006">Singh, N. et al. "High-performance fully depleted silicon nanowire (diameter ≤ 5 nm) gate-all-around CMOS devices." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 27(5), 383–386, 2006.</ref> The drawback is that one thin wire carries little current, so many wires must be stacked or placed in parallel. === Nanosheet GAAFET === A nanosheet device uses wide, flat sheets instead of round wires, stacked vertically. A wide sheet carries much more current than a thin wire, and the width can be chosen by the designer. This version is the one used in current manufacturing. Different companies use different names: * Samsung: '''MBCFET''' (Multi-Bridge-Channel FET) * Intel: '''RibbonFET''' * Research literature: nanosheet GAAFET An influential demonstration of stacked nanosheet transistors as a path beyond FinFET was published in 2017.<ref name="loubet2017">Loubet, N. et al.

"3nm GAA technology featuring multi-bridge-channel FET for low power and high performance applications." ''IEEE IEDM Technical Digest'', 28.7, 2018.</ref> === Forksheet (emerging) === A forksheet places the n-type and p-type nanosheet stacks on either side of a thin dielectric wall. The wall allows the two device types to sit closer together than in a normal nanosheet layout, which saves area. It is a research direction under study by industry research centres. === Comparison of structures === {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" |+ Nanowire and nanosheet GAA devices compared !

Alternating thin layers of silicon and silicon-germanium (SiGe) are grown on a silicon wafer by epitaxy. The Si layers will become the channels. The SiGe layers are sacrificial. # '''Fin patterning.''' Lithography and etching cut the stack into fin-like columns. Multiple-patterning or extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is used at the smallest pitches. # '''Shallow trench isolation (STI).''' Oxide is deposited between the fins to isolate neighbouring devices and then recessed. # '''Dummy gate formation.''' A temporary gate (often polysilicon) is placed across the fins. It defines where the real gate will go. # '''Spacer formation.''' Dielectric spacers are put on the sides of the dummy gate. # '''Inner spacer formation.''' The SiGe layers are etched back slightly at the edges, and the cavities are filled with dielectric. These inner spacers separate the future gate from the source and drain and reduce parasitic capacitance. This step is demanding because the etch must be uniform on every layer. # '''Source/drain epitaxy.''' Doped semiconductor is grown at both ends of the stack to form the source and drain. # '''Dielectric deposition and planarization.''' An interlayer dielectric is deposited and polished by chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) to expose the dummy gate. # '''Dummy gate removal and channel release.''' The dummy gate is removed, and the SiGe layers are then selectively etched away. The Si sheets are now suspended between source and drain. # '''High-k/metal gate deposition.''' A thin interfacial oxide, a high-k dielectric (commonly hafnium-based) and work-function metals are deposited around every suspended sheet, usually by atomic layer deposition (ALD), which gives uniform coating in the tight gaps between sheets. A metal fill completes the gate. # '''Contacts and interconnects.''' Contacts to the source, drain and gate are formed, followed by the back-end-of-line metal layers. [[File:FILENAME.png|thumb|right|400px|Simplified process flow for a nanosheet GAA transistor, from Si/SiGe stack to released channels and wrap-around gate.]] === Why the process is difficult === * The selective SiGe etch must remove one material without damaging the silicon sheets, which are only a few nanometres thick. * Inner spacer cavities must be the same depth on every layer of the stack. * ALD must fill very narrow gaps between sheets with a uniform thickness of dielectric and metals. * The work-function metal thickness has to be controlled very carefully, because it affects threshold voltage and the space left in the gap. == Materials used == {| class="wikitable" |+ Typical materials in a nanosheet GAA device !

More steps, tighter control and more metrology are required. * '''Variability.''' Sheet thickness, width and spacing differences between devices change threshold voltage and current. * '''Parasitic capacitance.''' The gate wraps the channel, but the wrap also raises capacitance to the source and drain unless inner spacers are well controlled. * '''Self-heating and thermal management.''' The channels are surrounded by dielectrics which conduct heat poorly, so heat is harder to remove. * '''Contact resistance.''' Source/drain contacts shrink with the device, and their resistance becomes a big part of total resistance. * '''Stack height limits.'''

GAA transistors address both problems. == Working principle == === Electrostatic control === The ability of the gate to control the channel depends on geometry. A useful measure is the '''natural length''' of the device, which describes how far the drain's electric field reaches into the channel. A smaller natural length allows a shorter channel before short-channel effects dominate. Theory for cylindrical surround-gate devices showed that wrapping the gate around the body gives the smallest natural length for a given body thickness and oxide thickness.<ref name="auth1997">Auth, C. P. and Plummer, J. D. "Scaling theory for cylindrical, fully-depleted, surround-gate MOSFET's." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 18(2), 74–76, 1997.</ref> In simple terms, with the gate on every side there is no surface of the channel left for the drain to "reach around" and influence, so the barrier stays under the gate's control. === Subthreshold swing === The ''subthreshold swing'' (SS) tells you how many millivolts of gate voltage are needed to change drain current by a factor of ten in the off region. Its theoretical limit for a conventional MOSFET at temperature <math>T</math> is <math>SS_{min} = \frac{k_B T}{q}\ln(10) \approx 60\ \mathrm{mV/decade}\quad (T = 300\ \mathrm{K})</math> Devices with strong gate control approach this limit, while those with poor control show larger values.<ref name="sze2007">Sze, S. M. and Ng, K. K. ''Physics of Semiconductor Devices'', 3rd ed. Wiley, 2007.</ref> GAA devices get closest to the limit among silicon structures. === Effective channel width === For a fin with height <math>H_{fin}</math> and width <math>W_{fin}</math>, the gate covers about <math>W_{eff,\,FinFET} \approx 2H_{fin} + W_{fin}</math> For a stacked nanosheet device with <math>N</math> sheets of width <math>W_{sheet}</math> and thickness <math>T_{sheet}</math>, the gate covers all four faces of each sheet: <math>W_{eff,\,GAA} \approx N \cdot 2\,(W_{sheet} + T_{sheet})</math> This formula shows why stacking helps. More current can be obtained without using more chip area, because the sheets are on top of each other. It also shows why sheet width can be tuned continuously. == Types of GAA transistors == === Nanowire GAAFET === A nanowire GAA device has a channel with a roughly circular or square cross-section a few nanometres across. Early demonstrations reported silicon nanowire GAA CMOS devices with diameters below 5 nm and good electrostatic behaviour.<ref name="singh2006">Singh, N. et al. "High-performance fully depleted silicon nanowire (diameter ≤ 5 nm) gate-all-around CMOS devices." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 27(5), 383–386, 2006.</ref> The drawback is that one thin wire carries little current, so many wires must be stacked or placed in parallel. === Nanosheet GAAFET === A nanosheet device uses wide, flat sheets instead of round wires, stacked vertically. A wide sheet carries much more current than a thin wire, and the width can be chosen by the designer. This version is the one used in current manufacturing. Different companies use different names: * Samsung: '''MBCFET''' (Multi-Bridge-Channel FET) * Intel: '''RibbonFET''' * Research literature: nanosheet GAAFET An influential demonstration of stacked nanosheet transistors as a path beyond FinFET was published in 2017.<ref name="loubet2017">Loubet, N. et al.

"3nm GAA technology featuring multi-bridge-channel FET for low power and high performance applications." ''IEEE IEDM Technical Digest'', 28.7, 2018.</ref> === Forksheet (emerging) === A forksheet places the n-type and p-type nanosheet stacks on either side of a thin dielectric wall. The wall allows the two device types to sit closer together than in a normal nanosheet layout, which saves area. It is a research direction under study by industry research centres. === Comparison of structures === {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" |+ Nanowire and nanosheet GAA devices compared !

It replaced the FinFET at the most advanced logic nodes and is widely expected to carry silicon CMOS scaling through the next decade. This module explains why the industry needed it, how it works, how it is built in a cleanroom, and where it is heading. <!-- Image idea: search Commons for "gate-all-around" or "nanosheet transistor" and use a 3D cutaway. [[File:FILENAME.png|thumb|right|350px|A gate-all-around transistor with stacked nanosheet channels. The gate (blue) wraps every channel.]] --> == Learning objectives == After reading this module you should be able to: * Explain why planar MOSFETs and FinFETs run into electrostatic limits at small dimensions. * Describe how a gate-all-around structure improves control of the channel. * Distinguish nanowire, nanosheet and forksheet devices. * Outline the main fabrication steps of a nanosheet GAA transistor. * Discuss the benefits, challenges and likely future of the technology. == Introduction == A transistor in a logic chip acts as a switch. A voltage on the '''gate''' controls whether current flows between the '''source''' and the '''drain''' through the '''channel'''. A good switch turns fully on when asked and fully off otherwise. As transistors shrink, the off state becomes harder to guarantee, because the drain starts to influence the channel as strongly as the gate does, and current leaks. The history of transistor design since the 1960s is largely the history of giving the gate more control. The gate first sat on top of the channel (planar), then on three sides (FinFET), and now on all four sides (gate-all-around).<ref name="colinge2008">Colinge, J.-P. (ed.). ''FinFETs and Other Multi-Gate Transistors''. Springer, 2008.</ref> == Background == === Scaling and Moore's law === In 1965 Gordon Moore observed that the number of components on an integrated circuit was doubling at a regular interval, and he projected the trend forward.<ref name="moore1965">Moore, G. E. "Cramming more components onto integrated circuits." ''Electronics'' 38(8), 1965.</ref> Dennard and coworkers showed in 1974 that if all dimensions and the supply voltage are scaled down together, transistors become faster and keep the same power density.<ref name="dennard1974">Dennard, R. H. et al. "Design of ion-implanted MOSFET's with very small physical dimensions." ''IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits'' 9(5), 256–268, 1974.</ref> This "Dennard scaling" broke down in the 2000s, mainly because leakage current stopped shrinking with the devices. That pushed designers toward new device structures rather than simple shrinking. === The planar MOSFET and short-channel effects === In a planar MOSFET the channel is a thin layer at the silicon surface under a flat gate. When the channel length becomes very short, several unwanted effects appear: * '''Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL):''' the drain voltage lowers the energy barrier at the source, so the transistor turns on partly because of the drain rather than the gate. * '''Threshold voltage roll-off:''' the threshold voltage drops as channel length shrinks. * '''Poor subthreshold swing:''' the transistor turns off more slowly than ideal, so more current leaks in the off state. * '''Punch-through:''' the source and drain depletion regions approach each other and current flows below the surface where the gate has little influence. These effects are collectively called ''short-channel effects''.<ref name="taur2009">Taur, Y. and Ning, T. H. ''Fundamentals of Modern VLSI Devices'', 2nd ed. Cambridge University Press, 2009.</ref> === Multi-gate devices and the FinFET === An early idea for fixing this was to use a thin, fully depleted body and more than one gate. Colinge and coworkers demonstrated a silicon-on-insulator "gate-all-around" device as early as 1990.<ref name="colinge1990">Colinge, J.-P., Gao, M. H., Romano-Rodriguez, A., Maes, H. and Claeys, C.

"FinFET—a self-aligned double-gate MOSFET scalable to 20 nm." ''IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices'' 47(12), 2320–2325, 2000.</ref> and Intel brought a tri-gate FinFET to high-volume production at its 22 nm node in 2011. In a FinFET the channel is a tall, thin vertical "fin" and the gate covers its top and two sides. === Why FinFETs reach a limit === FinFETs have two practical limits at very small sizes: # '''Width quantization.''' Drive current can only be increased in whole steps by adding fins, so fine tuning of strength is difficult. # '''Electrostatics.''' To keep control, the fin must become thinner and taller. Very tall, thin fins are hard to pattern and mechanically fragile, and the bottom of the fin is controlled less well than the top. GAA transistors address both problems. == Working principle == === Electrostatic control === The ability of the gate to control the channel depends on geometry. A useful measure is the '''natural length''' of the device, which describes how far the drain's electric field reaches into the channel. A smaller natural length allows a shorter channel before short-channel effects dominate. Theory for cylindrical surround-gate devices showed that wrapping the gate around the body gives the smallest natural length for a given body thickness and oxide thickness.<ref name="auth1997">Auth, C.

It replaced the FinFET at the most advanced logic nodes and is widely expected to carry silicon CMOS scaling through the next decade. This module explains why the industry needed it, how it works, how it is built in a cleanroom, and where it is heading. <!-- Image idea: search Commons for "gate-all-around" or "nanosheet transistor" and use a 3D cutaway. [[File:FILENAME.png|thumb|right|350px|A gate-all-around transistor with stacked nanosheet channels. The gate (blue) wraps every channel.]] --> == Learning objectives == After reading this module you should be able to: * Explain why planar MOSFETs and FinFETs run into electrostatic limits at small dimensions. * Describe how a gate-all-around structure improves control of the channel. * Distinguish nanowire, nanosheet and forksheet devices. * Outline the main fabrication steps of a nanosheet GAA transistor. * Discuss the benefits, challenges and likely future of the technology. == Introduction == A transistor in a logic chip acts as a switch. A voltage on the '''gate''' controls whether current flows between the '''source''' and the '''drain''' through the '''channel'''. A good switch turns fully on when asked and fully off otherwise. As transistors shrink, the off state becomes harder to guarantee, because the drain starts to influence the channel as strongly as the gate does, and current leaks. The history of transistor design since the 1960s is largely the history of giving the gate more control. The gate first sat on top of the channel (planar), then on three sides (FinFET), and now on all four sides (gate-all-around).<ref name="colinge2008">Colinge, J.-P. (ed.). ''FinFETs and Other Multi-Gate Transistors''. Springer, 2008.</ref> == Background == === Scaling and Moore's law === In 1965 Gordon Moore observed that the number of components on an integrated circuit was doubling at a regular interval, and he projected the trend forward.<ref name="moore1965">Moore, G. E. "Cramming more components onto integrated circuits." ''Electronics'' 38(8), 1965.</ref> Dennard and coworkers showed in 1974 that if all dimensions and the supply voltage are scaled down together, transistors become faster and keep the same power density.<ref name="dennard1974">Dennard, R. H. et al. "Design of ion-implanted MOSFET's with very small physical dimensions." ''IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits'' 9(5), 256–268, 1974.</ref> This "Dennard scaling" broke down in the 2000s, mainly because leakage current stopped shrinking with the devices. That pushed designers toward new device structures rather than simple shrinking. === The planar MOSFET and short-channel effects === In a planar MOSFET the channel is a thin layer at the silicon surface under a flat gate. When the channel length becomes very short, several unwanted effects appear: * '''Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL):''' the drain voltage lowers the energy barrier at the source, so the transistor turns on partly because of the drain rather than the gate. * '''Threshold voltage roll-off:''' the threshold voltage drops as channel length shrinks. * '''Poor subthreshold swing:''' the transistor turns off more slowly than ideal, so more current leaks in the off state. * '''Punch-through:''' the source and drain depletion regions approach each other and current flows below the surface where the gate has little influence. These effects are collectively called ''short-channel effects''.<ref name="taur2009">Taur, Y. and Ning, T. H. ''Fundamentals of Modern VLSI Devices'', 2nd ed. Cambridge University Press, 2009.</ref> === Multi-gate devices and the FinFET === An early idea for fixing this was to use a thin, fully depleted body and more than one gate. Colinge and coworkers demonstrated a silicon-on-insulator "gate-all-around" device as early as 1990.<ref name="colinge1990">Colinge, J.-P., Gao, M. H., Romano-Rodriguez, A., Maes, H. and Claeys, C. "Silicon-on-insulator 'gate-all-around device'." ''IEDM Technical Digest'', 595–598, 1990.</ref> The self-aligned FinFET was published by Hisamoto and coworkers,<ref name="hisamoto2000">Hisamoto, D. et al. "FinFET—a self-aligned double-gate MOSFET scalable to 20 nm." ''IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices'' 47(12), 2320–2325, 2000.</ref> and Intel brought a tri-gate FinFET to high-volume production at its 22 nm node in 2011. In a FinFET the channel is a tall, thin vertical "fin" and the gate covers its top and two sides. === Why FinFETs reach a limit === FinFETs have two practical limits at very small sizes: # '''Width quantization.''' Drive current can only be increased in whole steps by adding fins, so fine tuning of strength is difficult. # '''Electrostatics.''' To keep control, the fin must become thinner and taller. Very tall, thin fins are hard to pattern and mechanically fragile, and the bottom of the fin is controlled less well than the top. GAA transistors address both problems. == Working principle == === Electrostatic control === The ability of the gate to control the channel depends on geometry. A useful measure is the '''natural length''' of the device, which describes how far the drain's electric field reaches into the channel. A smaller natural length allows a shorter channel before short-channel effects dominate. Theory for cylindrical surround-gate devices showed that wrapping the gate around the body gives the smallest natural length for a given body thickness and oxide thickness.<ref name="auth1997">Auth, C. P. and Plummer, J. D. "Scaling theory for cylindrical, fully-depleted, surround-gate MOSFET's." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 18(2), 74–76, 1997.</ref> In simple terms, with the gate on every side there is no surface of the channel left for the drain to "reach around" and influence, so the barrier stays under the gate's control. === Subthreshold swing === The ''subthreshold swing'' (SS) tells you how many millivolts of gate voltage are needed to change drain current by a factor of ten in the off region. Its theoretical limit for a conventional MOSFET at temperature <math>T</math> is <math>SS_{min} = \frac{k_B T}{q}\ln(10) \approx 60\ \mathrm{mV/decade}\quad (T = 300\ \mathrm{K})</math> Devices with strong gate control approach this limit, while those with poor control show larger values.<ref name="sze2007">Sze, S. M. and Ng, K. K. ''Physics of Semiconductor Devices'', 3rd ed. Wiley, 2007.</ref> GAA devices get closest to the limit among silicon structures. === Effective channel width === For a fin with height <math>H_{fin}</math> and width <math>W_{fin}</math>, the gate covers about <math>W_{eff,\,FinFET} \approx 2H_{fin} + W_{fin}</math> For a stacked nanosheet device with <math>N</math> sheets of width <math>W_{sheet}</math> and thickness <math>T_{sheet}</math>, the gate covers all four faces of each sheet: <math>W_{eff,\,GAA} \approx N \cdot 2\,(W_{sheet} + T_{sheet})</math> This formula shows why stacking helps. More current can be obtained without using more chip area, because the sheets are on top of each other. It also shows why sheet width can be tuned continuously. == Types of GAA transistors == === Nanowire GAAFET === A nanowire GAA device has a channel with a roughly circular or square cross-section a few nanometres across. Early demonstrations reported silicon nanowire GAA CMOS devices with diameters below 5 nm and good electrostatic behaviour.<ref name="singh2006">Singh, N. et al. "High-performance fully depleted silicon nanowire (diameter ≤ 5 nm) gate-all-around CMOS devices." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 27(5), 383–386, 2006.</ref> The drawback is that one thin wire carries little current, so many wires must be stacked or placed in parallel. === Nanosheet GAAFET === A nanosheet device uses wide, flat sheets instead of round wires, stacked vertically. A wide sheet carries much more current than a thin wire, and the width can be chosen by the designer. This version is the one used in current manufacturing. Different companies use different names: * Samsung: '''MBCFET''' (Multi-Bridge-Channel FET) * Intel: '''RibbonFET''' * Research literature: nanosheet GAAFET An influential demonstration of stacked nanosheet transistors as a path beyond FinFET was published in 2017.<ref name="loubet2017">Loubet, N. et al.

"3nm GAA technology featuring multi-bridge-channel FET for low power and high performance applications." ''IEEE IEDM Technical Digest'', 28.7, 2018.</ref> === Forksheet (emerging) === A forksheet places the n-type and p-type nanosheet stacks on either side of a thin dielectric wall. The wall allows the two device types to sit closer together than in a normal nanosheet layout, which saves area. It is a research direction under study by industry research centres. === Comparison of structures === {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" |+ Nanowire and nanosheet GAA devices compared !

Alternating thin layers of silicon and silicon-germanium (SiGe) are grown on a silicon wafer by epitaxy. The Si layers will become the channels. The SiGe layers are sacrificial. # '''Fin patterning.''' Lithography and etching cut the stack into fin-like columns. Multiple-patterning or extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is used at the smallest pitches. # '''Shallow trench isolation (STI).''' Oxide is deposited between the fins to isolate neighbouring devices and then recessed. # '''Dummy gate formation.''' A temporary gate (often polysilicon) is placed across the fins. It defines where the real gate will go. # '''Spacer formation.''' Dielectric spacers are put on the sides of the dummy gate. # '''Inner spacer formation.''' The SiGe layers are etched back slightly at the edges, and the cavities are filled with dielectric. These inner spacers separate the future gate from the source and drain and reduce parasitic capacitance. This step is demanding because the etch must be uniform on every layer. # '''Source/drain epitaxy.''' Doped semiconductor is grown at both ends of the stack to form the source and drain. # '''Dielectric deposition and planarization.''' An interlayer dielectric is deposited and polished by chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) to expose the dummy gate. # '''Dummy gate removal and channel release.''' The dummy gate is removed, and the SiGe layers are then selectively etched away. The Si sheets are now suspended between source and drain. # '''High-k/metal gate deposition.''' A thin interfacial oxide, a high-k dielectric (commonly hafnium-based) and work-function metals are deposited around every suspended sheet, usually by atomic layer deposition (ALD), which gives uniform coating in the tight gaps between sheets. A metal fill completes the gate. # '''Contacts and interconnects.''' Contacts to the source, drain and gate are formed, followed by the back-end-of-line metal layers. [[File:Simplified Fabrication Process Flow of a Nanosheet Gate-All-Around Transistor.png|thumb|Simplified nanosheet GAA transistor process, from the Si/SiGe multilayer stack to released Si channels and the final wrap-around gate.]] === Why the process is difficult === * The selective SiGe etch must remove one material without damaging the silicon sheets, which are only a few nanometres thick. * Inner spacer cavities must be the same depth on every layer of the stack. * ALD must fill very narrow gaps between sheets with a uniform thickness of dielectric and metals. * The work-function metal thickness has to be controlled very carefully, because it affects threshold voltage and the space left in the gap. == Materials used == {| class="wikitable" |+ Typical materials in a nanosheet GAA device !

Sheet width can be chosen for each cell, which suits both low-power and high-performance blocks. * '''Lower operating voltage''' becomes possible because of the steeper turn-off. * '''More current per footprint''' by stacking sheets vertically. == Challenges == * '''Manufacturing complexity and cost.''' More steps, tighter control and more metrology are required. * '''Variability.''' Sheet thickness, width and spacing differences between devices change threshold voltage and current. * '''Parasitic capacitance.''' The gate wraps the channel, but the wrap also raises capacitance to the source and drain unless inner spacers are well controlled. * '''Self-heating and thermal management.''' The channels are surrounded by dielectrics which conduct heat poorly, so heat is harder to remove. * '''Contact resistance.''' Source/drain contacts shrink with the device, and their resistance becomes a big part of total resistance. * '''Stack height limits.''' Adding more sheets increases etch and fill difficulty and can degrade performance of the lowest sheets. == Future directions == * '''Forksheet transistors''' for tighter n-to-p spacing. * '''Complementary FET (CFET)''', which stacks an n-type device directly above a p-type device to reduce cell area greatly. * '''Backside power delivery''', which moves power rails to the wafer back and frees front-side routing. * '''New channel materials''', such as germanium or compound semiconductors for higher mobility, and two-dimensional materials in the longer term.<ref name="ye2019">Ye, P.

Alternating thin layers of silicon and silicon-germanium (SiGe) are grown on a silicon wafer by epitaxy. The Si layers will become the channels.

Multiple-patterning or extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is used at the smallest pitches. # '''Shallow trench isolation (STI).''' Oxide is deposited between the fins to isolate neighbouring devices and then recessed. # '''Dummy gate formation.''' A temporary gate (often polysilicon) is placed across the fins. It defines where the real gate will go. # '''Spacer formation.''' Dielectric spacers are put on the sides of the dummy gate. # '''Inner spacer formation.''' The SiGe layers are etched back slightly at the edges, and the cavities are filled with dielectric. These inner spacers separate the future gate from the source and drain and reduce parasitic capacitance. This step is demanding because the etch must be uniform on every layer. # '''Source/drain epitaxy.''' Doped semiconductor is grown at both ends of the stack to form the source and drain. # '''Dielectric deposition and planarization.''' An interlayer dielectric is deposited and polished by chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) to expose the dummy gate. # '''Dummy gate removal and channel release.''' The dummy gate is removed, and the SiGe layers are then selectively etched away. The Si sheets are now suspended between source and drain. # '''High-k/metal gate deposition.''' A thin interfacial oxide, a high-k dielectric (commonly hafnium-based) and work-function metals are deposited around every suspended sheet, usually by atomic layer deposition (ALD), which gives uniform coating in the tight gaps between sheets.

A voltage on the '''gate''' controls whether current flows between the '''source''' and the '''drain''' through the '''channel'''. A good switch turns fully on when asked and fully off otherwise. As transistors shrink, the off state becomes harder to guarantee, because the drain starts to influence the channel as strongly as the gate does, and current leaks. The history of transistor design since the 1960s is largely the history of giving the gate more control. The gate first sat on top of the channel (planar), then on three sides (FinFET), and now on all four sides (gate-all-around).<ref name="colinge2008">Colinge, J.-P. (ed.). ''FinFETs and Other Multi-Gate Transistors''. Springer, 2008.</ref> == Background == === Scaling and Moore's law === In 1965 Gordon Moore observed that the number of components on an integrated circuit was doubling at a regular interval, and he projected the trend forward.<ref name="moore1965">Moore, G. E. "Cramming more components onto integrated circuits." ''Electronics'' 38(8), 1965.</ref> Dennard and coworkers showed in 1974 that if all dimensions and the supply voltage are scaled down together, transistors become faster and keep the same power density.<ref name="dennard1974">Dennard, R. H. et al. "Design of ion-implanted MOSFET's with very small physical dimensions." ''IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits'' 9(5), 256–268, 1974.</ref> This "Dennard scaling" broke down in the 2000s, mainly because leakage current stopped shrinking with the devices. That pushed designers toward new device structures rather than simple shrinking. === The planar MOSFET and short-channel effects === In a planar MOSFET the channel is a thin layer at the silicon surface under a flat gate. When the channel length becomes very short, several unwanted effects appear: * '''Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL):''' the drain voltage lowers the energy barrier at the source, so the transistor turns on partly because of the drain rather than the gate. * '''Threshold voltage roll-off:''' the threshold voltage drops as channel length shrinks. * '''Poor subthreshold swing:''' the transistor turns off more slowly than ideal, so more current leaks in the off state. * '''Punch-through:''' the source and drain depletion regions approach each other and current flows below the surface where the gate has little influence. These effects are collectively called ''short-channel effects''.<ref name="taur2009">Taur, Y. and Ning, T. H. ''Fundamentals of Modern VLSI Devices'', 2nd ed. Cambridge University Press, 2009.</ref> === Multi-gate devices and the FinFET === An early idea for fixing this was to use a thin, fully depleted body and more than one gate. Colinge and coworkers demonstrated a silicon-on-insulator "gate-all-around" device as early as 1990.<ref name="colinge1990">Colinge, J.-P., Gao, M. H., Romano-Rodriguez, A., Maes, H. and Claeys, C. "Silicon-on-insulator 'gate-all-around device'." ''IEDM Technical Digest'', 595–598, 1990.</ref> The self-aligned FinFET was published by Hisamoto and coworkers,<ref name="hisamoto2000">Hisamoto, D. et al. "FinFET—a self-aligned double-gate MOSFET scalable to 20 nm." ''IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices'' 47(12), 2320–2325, 2000.</ref> and Intel brought a tri-gate FinFET to high-volume production at its 22 nm node in 2011. In a FinFET the channel is a tall, thin vertical "fin" and the gate covers its top and two sides. === Why FinFETs reach a limit === FinFETs have two practical limits at very small sizes: # '''Width quantization.''' Drive current can only be increased in whole steps by adding fins, so fine tuning of strength is difficult. # '''Electrostatics.''' To keep control, the fin must become thinner and taller. Very tall, thin fins are hard to pattern and mechanically fragile, and the bottom of the fin is controlled less well than the top. GAA transistors address both problems. == Working principle == === Electrostatic control === The ability of the gate to control the channel depends on geometry. A useful measure is the '''natural length''' of the device, which describes how far the drain's electric field reaches into the channel. A smaller natural length allows a shorter channel before short-channel effects dominate. Theory for cylindrical surround-gate devices showed that wrapping the gate around the body gives the smallest natural length for a given body thickness and oxide thickness.<ref name="auth1997">Auth, C. P. and Plummer, J. D. "Scaling theory for cylindrical, fully-depleted, surround-gate MOSFET's." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 18(2), 74–76, 1997.</ref> In simple terms, with the gate on every side there is no surface of the channel left for the drain to "reach around" and influence, so the barrier stays under the gate's control. === Subthreshold swing === The ''subthreshold swing'' (SS) tells you how many millivolts of gate voltage are needed to change drain current by a factor of ten in the off region. Its theoretical limit for a conventional MOSFET at temperature <math>T</math> is <math>SS_{min} = \frac{k_B T}{q}\ln(10) \approx 60\ \mathrm{mV/decade}\quad (T = 300\ \mathrm{K})</math> Devices with strong gate control approach this limit, while those with poor control show larger values.<ref name="sze2007">Sze, S. M. and Ng, K. K. ''Physics of Semiconductor Devices'', 3rd ed. Wiley, 2007.</ref> GAA devices get closest to the limit among silicon structures. === Effective channel width === For a fin with height <math>H_{fin}</math> and width <math>W_{fin}</math>, the gate covers about <math>W_{eff,\,FinFET} \approx 2H_{fin} + W_{fin}</math> For a stacked nanosheet device with <math>N</math> sheets of width <math>W_{sheet}</math> and thickness <math>T_{sheet}</math>, the gate covers all four faces of each sheet: <math>W_{eff,\,GAA} \approx N \cdot 2\,(W_{sheet} + T_{sheet})</math> This formula shows why stacking helps. More current can be obtained without using more chip area, because the sheets are on top of each other. It also shows why sheet width can be tuned continuously. == Types of GAA transistors == === Nanowire GAAFET === A nanowire GAA device has a channel with a roughly circular or square cross-section a few nanometres across. Early demonstrations reported silicon nanowire GAA CMOS devices with diameters below 5 nm and good electrostatic behaviour.<ref name="singh2006">Singh, N. et al. "High-performance fully depleted silicon nanowire (diameter ≤ 5 nm) gate-all-around CMOS devices." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 27(5), 383–386, 2006.</ref> The drawback is that one thin wire carries little current, so many wires must be stacked or placed in parallel. === Nanosheet GAAFET === A nanosheet device uses wide, flat sheets instead of round wires, stacked vertically. A wide sheet carries much more current than a thin wire, and the width can be chosen by the designer. This version is the one used in current manufacturing. Different companies use different names: * Samsung: '''MBCFET''' (Multi-Bridge-Channel FET) * Intel: '''RibbonFET''' * Research literature: nanosheet GAAFET An influential demonstration of stacked nanosheet transistors as a path beyond FinFET was published in 2017.<ref name="loubet2017">Loubet, N. et al.

"3nm GAA technology featuring multi-bridge-channel FET for low power and high performance applications." ''IEEE IEDM Technical Digest'', 28.7, 2018.</ref> === Forksheet (emerging) === A forksheet places the n-type and p-type nanosheet stacks on either side of a thin dielectric wall. The wall allows the two device types to sit closer together than in a normal nanosheet layout, which saves area. It is a research direction under study by industry research centres. === Comparison of structures === {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" |+ Nanowire and nanosheet GAA devices compared !

''IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices'' 47(12), 2320–2325, 2000.</ref> and Intel brought a tri-gate FinFET to high-volume production at its 22 nm node in 2011. In a FinFET the channel is a tall, thin vertical "fin" and the gate covers its top and two sides. === Why FinFETs reach a limit === FinFETs have two practical limits at very small sizes: # '''Width quantization.''' Drive current can only be increased in whole steps by adding fins, so fine tuning of strength is difficult. # '''Electrostatics.''' To keep control, the fin must become thinner and taller. Very tall, thin fins are hard to pattern and mechanically fragile, and the bottom of the fin is controlled less well than the top. GAA transistors address both problems. == Working principle == === Electrostatic control === The ability of the gate to control the channel depends on geometry. A useful measure is the '''natural length''' of the device, which describes how far the drain's electric field reaches into the channel. A smaller natural length allows a shorter channel before short-channel effects dominate. Theory for cylindrical surround-gate devices showed that wrapping the gate around the body gives the smallest natural length for a given body thickness and oxide thickness.<ref name="auth1997">[[doi:10.1109/55.553049|Auth]], C. P. and Plummer, J. D. "Scaling theory for cylindrical, fully-depleted, surround-gate MOSFET's." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 18(2), 74–76, 1997.</ref> In simple terms, with the gate on every side there is no surface of the channel left for the drain to "reach around" and influence, so the barrier stays under the gate's control. === Subthreshold swing === The ''subthreshold swing'' (SS) tells you how many millivolts of gate voltage are needed to change drain current by a factor of ten in the off region. Its theoretical limit for a conventional MOSFET at temperature <math>T</math> is <math>SS_{min} = \frac{k_B T}{q}\ln(10) \approx 60\ \mathrm{mV/decade}\quad (T = 300\ \mathrm{K})</math> Devices with strong gate control approach this limit, while those with poor control show larger values.<ref name="sze2007">[[doi:10.1002/0470068329|Sze]], S. M. and Ng, K. K. ''Physics of Semiconductor Devices'', 3rd ed. Wiley, 2007.</ref> GAA devices get closest to the limit among silicon structures. === Effective channel width === For a fin with height <math>H_{fin}</math> and width <math>W_{fin}</math>, the gate covers about <math>W_{eff,\,FinFET} \approx 2H_{fin} + W_{fin}</math> For a stacked nanosheet device with <math>N</math> sheets of width <math>W_{sheet}</math> and thickness <math>T_{sheet}</math>, the gate covers all four faces of each sheet: <math>W_{eff,\,GAA} \approx N \cdot 2\,(W_{sheet} + T_{sheet})</math> This formula shows why stacking helps. More current can be obtained without using more chip area, because the sheets are on top of each other. It also shows why sheet width can be tuned continuously. == Types of GAA transistors == === Nanowire GAAFET === A nanowire GAA device has a channel with a roughly circular or square cross-section a few nanometres across. Early demonstrations reported silicon nanowire GAA CMOS devices with diameters below 5 nm and good electrostatic behaviour.<ref name="singh2006">[[doi:10.23919/VLSIT.2017.7998183|Singh]], N. et al. "High-performance fully depleted silicon nanowire (diameter ≤ 5 nm) gate-all-around CMOS devices." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 27(5), 383–386, 2006.</ref> The drawback is that one thin wire carries little current, so many wires must be stacked or placed in parallel. === Nanosheet GAAFET === A nanosheet device uses wide, flat sheets instead of round wires, stacked vertically. A wide sheet carries much more current than a thin wire, and the width can be chosen by the designer. This version is the one used in current manufacturing. Different companies use different names: * Samsung: '''MBCFET''' (Multi-Bridge-Channel FET) * Intel: '''RibbonFET''' * Research literature: nanosheet GAAFET An influential demonstration of stacked nanosheet transistors as a path beyond FinFET was published in 2017.<ref name="loubet2017">[[doi:10.23919/VLSIT.2017.7998183|Loubet]], N. et al.

A voltage on the '''gate''' controls whether current flows between the '''source''' and the '''drain''' through the '''channel'''. A good switch turns fully on when asked and fully off otherwise. As transistors shrink, the off state becomes harder to guarantee, because the drain starts to influence the channel as strongly as the gate does, and current leaks. The history of transistor design since the 1960s is largely the history of giving the gate more control. The gate first sat on top of the channel (planar), then on three sides (FinFET), and now on all four sides (gate-all-around).<ref name="colinge2008">[[doi:10.1007/978-0-387-71752-4|Colinge]], J.-P. (ed.). ''FinFETs and Other Multi-Gate Transistors''. Springer, 2008.</ref> == Background == === Scaling and Moore's law === In 1965 Gordon Moore observed that the number of components on an integrated circuit was doubling at a regular interval, and he projected the trend forward.<ref name="moore1965">[https://ndlsearch.ndl.go.jp/books/R100000136-I1573387450616282240 Moore], G. E. "Cramming more components onto integrated circuits."

''IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits'' 9(5), 256–268, 1974.</ref> This "Dennard scaling" broke down in the 2000s, mainly because leakage current stopped shrinking with the devices. That pushed designers toward new device structures rather than simple shrinking. === The planar MOSFET and short-channel effects === In a planar MOSFET the channel is a thin layer at the silicon surface under a flat gate. When the channel length becomes very short, several unwanted effects appear: * '''Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL):''' the drain voltage lowers the energy barrier at the source, so the transistor turns on partly because of the drain rather than the gate. * '''Threshold voltage roll-off:''' the threshold voltage drops as channel length shrinks. * '''Poor subthreshold swing:''' the transistor turns off more slowly than ideal, so more current leaks in the off state. * '''Punch-through:''' the source and drain depletion regions approach each other and current flows below the surface where the gate has little influence.

A voltage on the '''gate''' controls whether current flows between the '''source''' and the '''drain''' through the '''channel'''. A good switch turns fully on when asked and fully off otherwise. As transistors shrink, the off state becomes harder to guarantee, because the drain starts to influence the channel as strongly as the gate does, and current leaks. The history of transistor design since the 1960s is largely the history of giving the gate more control. The gate first sat on top of the channel (planar), then on three sides (FinFET), and now on all four sides (gate-all-around).<ref name="colinge2008">[[doi:10.1007/978-0-387-71752-4|Colinge]], J.-P. (ed.). ''FinFETs and Other Multi-Gate Transistors''. Springer, 2008.</ref> == Background == === Scaling and Moore's law === In 1965 Gordon Moore observed that the number of components on an integrated circuit was doubling at a regular interval, and he projected the trend forward.<ref name="moore1965">[https://ndlsearch.ndl.go.jp/books/R100000136-I1573387450616282240 Moore], G. E. "Cramming more components onto integrated circuits." ''Electronics'' 38(8), 1965.</ref> Dennard and coworkers showed in 1974 that if all dimensions and the supply voltage are scaled down together, transistors become faster and keep the same power density.<ref name="dennard1974">[[doi:10.1109/JSSC.1974.1050511|Dennard]], R. H. et al. "Design of ion-implanted MOSFET's with very small physical dimensions." ''IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits'' 9(5), 256–268, 1974.</ref> This "Dennard scaling" broke down in the 2000s, mainly because leakage current stopped shrinking with the devices. That pushed designers toward new device structures rather than simple shrinking. === The planar MOSFET and short-channel effects === In a planar MOSFET the channel is a thin layer at the silicon surface under a flat gate. When the channel length becomes very short, several unwanted effects appear: * '''Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL):''' the drain voltage lowers the energy barrier at the source, so the transistor turns on partly because of the drain rather than the gate. * '''Threshold voltage roll-off:''' the threshold voltage drops as channel length shrinks. * '''Poor subthreshold swing:''' the transistor turns off more slowly than ideal, so more current leaks in the off state. * '''Punch-through:''' the source and drain depletion regions approach each other and current flows below the surface where the gate has little influence. These effects are collectively called ''short-channel effects''.<ref name="taur2009">[[doi:10.1017/CBO9781139195065|Taur]], Y. and Ning, T. H. ''Fundamentals of Modern VLSI Devices'', 2nd ed. Cambridge University Press, 2009.</ref> === Multi-gate devices and the FinFET === An early idea for fixing this was to use a thin, fully depleted body and more than one gate. Colinge and coworkers demonstrated a silicon-on-insulator "gate-all-around" device as early as 1990.<ref name="colinge1990">[[doi:10.1109/IEDM.1990.237128|Colinge]], J.-P., Gao, M. H., Romano-Rodriguez, A., Maes, H. and Claeys, C. "Silicon-on-insulator 'gate-all-around device'." ''IEDM Technical Digest'', 595–598, 1990.</ref> The self-aligned FinFET was published by Hisamoto and coworkers,<ref name="hisamoto2000">[[doi:10.1109/16.887014|Hisamoto]], D. et al. "FinFET—a self-aligned double-gate MOSFET scalable to 20 nm." ''IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices'' 47(12), 2320–2325, 2000.</ref> and Intel brought a tri-gate FinFET to high-volume production at its 22 nm node in 2011. In a FinFET the channel is a tall, thin vertical "fin" and the gate covers its top and two sides. === Why FinFETs reach a limit === FinFETs have two practical limits at very small sizes: # '''Width quantization.''' Drive current can only be increased in whole steps by adding fins, so fine tuning of strength is difficult. # '''Electrostatics.''' To keep control, the fin must become thinner and taller. Very tall, thin fins are hard to pattern and mechanically fragile, and the bottom of the fin is controlled less well than the top. GAA transistors address both problems. == Working principle == === Electrostatic control === The ability of the gate to control the channel depends on geometry. A useful measure is the '''natural length''' of the device, which describes how far the drain's electric field reaches into the channel. A smaller natural length allows a shorter channel before short-channel effects dominate. Theory for cylindrical surround-gate devices showed that wrapping the gate around the body gives the smallest natural length for a given body thickness and oxide thickness.<ref name="auth1997">[[doi:10.1109/55.553049|Auth]], C. P. and Plummer, J. D. "Scaling theory for cylindrical, fully-depleted, surround-gate MOSFET's." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 18(2), 74–76, 1997.</ref> In simple terms, with the gate on every side there is no surface of the channel left for the drain to "reach around" and influence, so the barrier stays under the gate's control. === Subthreshold swing === The ''subthreshold swing'' (SS) tells you how many millivolts of gate voltage are needed to change drain current by a factor of ten in the off region. Its theoretical limit for a conventional MOSFET at temperature <math>T</math> is <math>SS_{min} = \frac{k_B T}{q}\ln(10) \approx 60\ \mathrm{mV/decade}\quad (T = 300\ \mathrm{K})</math> Devices with strong gate control approach this limit, while those with poor control show larger values.<ref name="sze2007">[[doi:10.1002/0470068329|Sze]], S. M. and Ng, K. K. ''Physics of Semiconductor Devices'', 3rd ed. Wiley, 2007.</ref> GAA devices get closest to the limit among silicon structures. === Effective channel width === For a fin with height <math>H_{fin}</math> and width <math>W_{fin}</math>, the gate covers about <math>W_{eff,\,FinFET} \approx 2H_{fin} + W_{fin}</math> For a stacked nanosheet device with <math>N</math> sheets of width <math>W_{sheet}</math> and thickness <math>T_{sheet}</math>, the gate covers all four faces of each sheet: <math>W_{eff,\,GAA} \approx N \cdot 2\,(W_{sheet} + T_{sheet})</math> This formula shows why stacking helps. More current can be obtained without using more chip area, because the sheets are on top of each other. It also shows why sheet width can be tuned continuously. == Types of GAA transistors == === Nanowire GAAFET === A nanowire GAA device has a channel with a roughly circular or square cross-section a few nanometres across. Early demonstrations reported silicon nanowire GAA CMOS devices with diameters below 5 nm and good electrostatic behaviour.<ref name="singh2006">[[doi:10.23919/VLSIT.2017.7998183|Singh]], N. et al. "High-performance fully depleted silicon nanowire (diameter ≤ 5 nm) gate-all-around CMOS devices." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 27(5), 383–386, 2006.</ref> The drawback is that one thin wire carries little current, so many wires must be stacked or placed in parallel. === Nanosheet GAAFET === A nanosheet device uses wide, flat sheets instead of round wires, stacked vertically. A wide sheet carries much more current than a thin wire, and the width can be chosen by the designer. This version is the one used in current manufacturing. Different companies use different names: * Samsung: '''MBCFET''' (Multi-Bridge-Channel FET) * Intel: '''RibbonFET''' * Research literature: nanosheet GAAFET An influential demonstration of stacked nanosheet transistors as a path beyond FinFET was published in 2017.<ref name="loubet2017">[[doi:10.23919/VLSIT.2017.7998183|Loubet]], N. et al.

"3nm GAA technology featuring multi-bridge-channel FET for low power and high performance applications." ''IEEE IEDM Technical Digest'', 28.7, 2018.</ref> === Forksheet (emerging) === A forksheet places the n-type and p-type nanosheet stacks on either side of a thin dielectric wall. The wall allows the two device types to sit closer together than in a normal nanosheet layout, which saves area. It is a research direction under study by industry research centres. === Comparison of structures === {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" |+ Nanowire and nanosheet GAA devices compared !

Alternating thin layers of silicon and silicon-germanium (SiGe) are grown on a silicon wafer by epitaxy. The Si layers will become the channels. The SiGe layers are sacrificial. # '''Fin patterning.''' Lithography and etching cut the stack into fin-like columns. Multiple-patterning or extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is used at the smallest pitches. # '''Shallow trench isolation (STI).''' Oxide is deposited between the fins to isolate neighbouring devices and then recessed. # '''Dummy gate formation.''' A temporary gate (often polysilicon) is placed across the fins. It defines where the real gate will go. # '''Spacer formation.''' Dielectric spacers are put on the sides of the dummy gate. # '''Inner spacer formation.''' The SiGe layers are etched back slightly at the edges, and the cavities are filled with dielectric. These inner spacers separate the future gate from the source and drain and reduce parasitic capacitance. This step is demanding because the etch must be uniform on every layer. # '''Source/drain epitaxy.''' Doped semiconductor is grown at both ends of the stack to form the source and drain. # '''Dielectric deposition and planarization.''' An interlayer dielectric is deposited and polished by chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) to expose the dummy gate. # '''Dummy gate removal and channel release.''' The dummy gate is removed, and the SiGe layers are then selectively etched away. The Si sheets are now suspended between source and drain. # '''High-k/metal gate deposition.''' A thin interfacial oxide, a high-k dielectric (commonly hafnium-based) and work-function metals are deposited around every suspended sheet, usually by atomic layer deposition (ALD), which gives uniform coating in the tight gaps between sheets. A metal fill completes the gate. # '''Contacts and interconnects.''' Contacts to the source, drain and gate are formed, followed by the back-end-of-line metal layers.

''IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices'' 47(12), 2320–2325, 2000.</ref> and Intel brought a tri-gate FinFET to high-volume production at its 22 nm node in 2011. In a FinFET the channel is a tall, thin vertical "fin" and the gate covers its top and two sides. === Why FinFETs reach a limit === FinFETs have two practical limits at very small sizes: # '''Width quantization.''' Drive current can only be increased in whole steps by adding fins, so fine tuning of strength is difficult. # '''Electrostatics.''' To keep control, the fin must become thinner and taller. Very tall, thin fins are hard to pattern and mechanically fragile, and the bottom of the fin is controlled less well than the top. GAA transistors address both problems. == Working principle == === Electrostatic control === The ability of the gate to control the channel depends on geometry. A useful measure is the '''natural length''' of the device, which describes how far the drain's electric field reaches into the channel. A smaller natural length allows a shorter channel before short-channel effects dominate. Theory for cylindrical surround-gate devices showed that wrapping the gate around the body gives the smallest natural length for a given body thickness and oxide thickness.<ref name="auth1997">[[doi:10.1109/55.553049|Auth]], C. P. and Plummer, J. D. "Scaling theory for cylindrical, fully-depleted, surround-gate MOSFET's." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 18(2), 74–76, 1997.</ref> In simple terms, with the gate on every side there is no surface of the channel left for the drain to "reach around" and influence, so the barrier stays under the gate's control. === Subthreshold swing === The ''subthreshold swing'' (SS) tells you how many millivolts of gate voltage are needed to change drain current by a factor of ten in the off region. Its theoretical limit for a conventional MOSFET at temperature <math>T</math> is <math>SS_{min} = \frac{k_B T}{q}\ln(10) \approx 60\ \mathrm{mV/decade}\quad (T = 300\ \mathrm{K})</math> Devices with strong gate control approach this limit, while those with poor control show larger values.<ref name="sze2007">[[doi:10.1002/0470068329|Sze]], S. M. and Ng, K. K. ''Physics of Semiconductor Devices'', 3rd ed. Wiley, 2007.</ref> GAA devices get closest to the limit among silicon structures. === Effective channel width === For a fin with height <math>H_{fin}</math> and width <math>W_{fin}</math>, the gate covers about <math>W_{eff,\,FinFET} \approx 2H_{fin} + W_{fin}</math> For a stacked nanosheet device with <math>N</math> sheets of width <math>W_{sheet}</math> and thickness <math>T_{sheet}</math>, the gate covers all four faces of each sheet: <math>W_{eff,\,GAA} \approx N \cdot 2\,(W_{sheet} + T_{sheet})</math> This formula shows why stacking helps. More current can be obtained without using more chip area, because the sheets are on top of each other. It also shows why sheet width can be tuned continuously. == Types of GAA transistors == === Nanowire GAAFET === A nanowire GAA device has a channel with a roughly circular or square cross-section a few nanometres across. Early demonstrations reported silicon nanowire GAA CMOS devices with diameters below 5 nm and good electrostatic behaviour.<ref name="singh2006">[[doi:10.23919/VLSIT.2017.7998183|Singh]], N. et al. "High-performance fully depleted silicon nanowire (diameter ≤ 5 nm) gate-all-around CMOS devices." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 27(5), 383–386, 2006.</ref> The drawback is that one thin wire carries little current, so many wires must be stacked or placed in parallel. === Nanosheet GAAFET === A nanosheet device uses wide, flat sheets instead of round wires, stacked vertically. A wide sheet carries much more current than a thin wire, and the width can be chosen by the designer. This version is the one used in current manufacturing. Different companies use different names: * Samsung: '''MBCFET''' (Multi-Bridge-Channel FET) * Intel: '''RibbonFET''' * Research literature: nanosheet GAAFET An influential demonstration of stacked nanosheet transistors as a path beyond FinFET was published in 2017.<ref name="loubet2017">[[doi:10.23919/VLSIT.2017.7998183|Loubet]], N. et al.

A voltage on the '''gate''' controls whether current flows between the '''source''' and the '''drain''' through the '''channel'''. A good switch turns fully on when asked and fully off otherwise. As transistors shrink, the off state becomes harder to guarantee, because the drain starts to influence the channel as strongly as the gate does, and current leaks. The history of transistor design since the 1960s is largely the history of giving the gate more control. The gate first sat on top of the channel (planar), then on three sides (FinFET), and now on all four sides (gate-all-around).<ref name="colinge2008">[[doi:10.1007/978-0-387-71752-4|Colinge]], J.-P. (ed.). ''FinFETs and Other Multi-Gate Transistors''. Springer, 2008.</ref> == Background == === Scaling and Moore's law === In 1965 Gordon Moore observed that the number of components on an integrated circuit was doubling at a regular interval, and he projected the trend forward.<ref name="moore1965">[https://ndlsearch.ndl.go.jp/books/R100000136-I1573387450616282240 Moore], G. E. "Cramming more components onto integrated circuits." ''Electronics'' 38(8), 1965.</ref> Dennard and coworkers showed in 1974 that if all dimensions and the supply voltage are scaled down together, transistors become faster and keep the same power density.<ref name="dennard1974">[[doi:10.1109/JSSC.1974.1050511|Dennard]], R. H. et al. "Design of ion-implanted MOSFET's with very small physical dimensions." ''IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits'' 9(5), 256–268, 1974.</ref> This "Dennard scaling" broke down in the 2000s, mainly because leakage current stopped shrinking with the devices. That pushed designers toward new device structures rather than simple shrinking. === The planar MOSFET and short-channel effects === In a planar MOSFET the channel is a thin layer at the silicon surface under a flat gate. When the channel length becomes very short, several unwanted effects appear: * '''Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL):''' the drain voltage lowers the energy barrier at the source, so the transistor turns on partly because of the drain rather than the gate. * '''Threshold voltage roll-off:''' the threshold voltage drops as channel length shrinks. * '''Poor subthreshold swing:''' the transistor turns off more slowly than ideal, so more current leaks in the off state. * '''Punch-through:''' the source and drain depletion regions approach each other and current flows below the surface where the gate has little influence. These effects are collectively called ''short-channel effects''.<ref name="taur2009">[[doi:10.1017/CBO9781139195065|Taur]], Y. and Ning, T. H. ''Fundamentals of Modern VLSI Devices'', 2nd ed.

This module explains why the industry needed it, how it works, how it is built in a cleanroom, and where it is heading. <!-- Image idea: search Commons for "gate-all-around" or "nanosheet transistor" and use a 3D cutaway. [[File:Stacked nanosheet GAA transistor.png|thumb|A simplified schematic of a gate-all-around transistor with three stacked silicon nanosheet channels, each surrounded by a blue gate.]] --> == Learning objectives == After reading this module you should be able to: * Explain why planar MOSFETs and FinFETs run into electrostatic limits at small dimensions. * Describe how a gate-all-around structure improves control of the channel. * Distinguish nanowire, nanosheet and forksheet devices. * Outline the main fabrication steps of a nanosheet GAA transistor. * Discuss the benefits, challenges and likely future of the technology. == Introduction == A transistor in a logic chip acts as a switch. A voltage on the '''gate''' controls whether current flows between the '''source''' and the '''drain''' through the '''channel'''. A good switch turns fully on when asked and fully off otherwise. As transistors shrink, the off state becomes harder to guarantee, because the drain starts to influence the channel as strongly as the gate does, and current leaks. The history of transistor design since the 1960s is largely the history of giving the gate more control. The gate first sat on top of the channel (planar), then on three sides (FinFET), and now on all four sides (gate-all-around).<ref name="colinge2008">[[doi:10.1007/978-0-387-71752-4|Colinge]], J.-P. (ed.). ''FinFETs and Other Multi-Gate Transistors''. Springer, 2008.</ref> == Background == === Scaling and Moore's law === In 1965 Gordon Moore observed that the number of components on an integrated circuit was doubling at a regular interval, and he projected the trend forward.<ref name="moore1965">[https://ndlsearch.ndl.go.jp/books/R100000136-I1573387450616282240 Moore], G. E. "Cramming more components onto integrated circuits." ''Electronics'' 38(8), 1965.</ref> Dennard and coworkers showed in 1974 that if all dimensions and the supply voltage are scaled down together, transistors become faster and keep the same power density.<ref name="dennard1974">[[doi:10.1109/JSSC.1974.1050511|Dennard]], R. H. et al. "Design of ion-implanted MOSFET's with very small physical dimensions." ''IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits'' 9(5), 256–268, 1974.</ref> This "Dennard scaling" broke down in the 2000s, mainly because leakage current stopped shrinking with the devices. That pushed designers toward new device structures rather than simple shrinking. === The planar MOSFET and short-channel effects === In a planar MOSFET the channel is a thin layer at the silicon surface under a flat gate. When the channel length becomes very short, several unwanted effects appear: * '''Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL):''' the drain voltage lowers the energy barrier at the source, so the transistor turns on partly because of the drain rather than the gate. * '''Threshold voltage roll-off:''' the threshold voltage drops as channel length shrinks. * '''Poor subthreshold swing:''' the transistor turns off more slowly than ideal, so more current leaks in the off state. * '''Punch-through:''' the source and drain depletion regions approach each other and current flows below the surface where the gate has little influence. These effects are collectively called ''short-channel effects''.<ref name="taur2009">[[doi:10.1017/CBO9781139195065|Taur]], Y. and Ning, T. H. ''Fundamentals of Modern VLSI Devices'', 2nd ed. Cambridge University Press, 2009.</ref> === Multi-gate devices and the FinFET === An early idea for fixing this was to use a thin, fully depleted body and more than one gate. Colinge and coworkers demonstrated a silicon-on-insulator "gate-all-around" device as early as 1990.<ref name="colinge1990">[[doi:10.1109/IEDM.1990.237128|Colinge]], J.-P., Gao, M. H., Romano-Rodriguez, A., Maes, H. and Claeys, C. "Silicon-on-insulator 'gate-all-around device'." ''IEDM Technical Digest'', 595–598, 1990.</ref> The self-aligned FinFET was published by Hisamoto and coworkers,<ref name="hisamoto2000">[[doi:10.1109/16.887014|Hisamoto]], D. et al. "FinFET—a self-aligned double-gate MOSFET scalable to 20 nm." ''IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices'' 47(12), 2320–2325, 2000.</ref> and Intel brought a tri-gate FinFET to high-volume production at its 22 nm node in 2011. In a FinFET the channel is a tall, thin vertical "fin" and the gate covers its top and two sides. === Why FinFETs reach a limit === FinFETs have two practical limits at very small sizes: # '''Width quantization.''' Drive current can only be increased in whole steps by adding fins, so fine tuning of strength is difficult. # '''Electrostatics.''' To keep control, the fin must become thinner and taller. Very tall, thin fins are hard to pattern and mechanically fragile, and the bottom of the fin is controlled less well than the top. GAA transistors address both problems. == Working principle == === Electrostatic control === The ability of the gate to control the channel depends on geometry. A useful measure is the '''natural length''' of the device, which describes how far the drain's electric field reaches into the channel. A smaller natural length allows a shorter channel before short-channel effects dominate. Theory for cylindrical surround-gate devices showed that wrapping the gate around the body gives the smallest natural length for a given body thickness and oxide thickness.<ref name="auth1997">[[doi:10.1109/55.553049|Auth]], C. P. and Plummer, J. D. "Scaling theory for cylindrical, fully-depleted, surround-gate MOSFET's." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 18(2), 74–76, 1997.</ref> In simple terms, with the gate on every side there is no surface of the channel left for the drain to "reach around" and influence, so the barrier stays under the gate's control. === Subthreshold swing === The ''subthreshold swing'' (SS) tells you how many millivolts of gate voltage are needed to change drain current by a factor of ten in the off region. Its theoretical limit for a conventional MOSFET at temperature <math>T</math> is <math>SS_{min} = \frac{k_B T}{q}\ln(10) \approx 60\ \mathrm{mV/decade}\quad (T = 300\ \mathrm{K})</math> Devices with strong gate control approach this limit, while those with poor control show larger values.<ref name="sze2007">[[doi:10.1002/0470068329|Sze]], S. M. and Ng, K. K. ''Physics of Semiconductor Devices'', 3rd ed. Wiley, 2007.</ref> GAA devices get closest to the limit among silicon structures. === Effective channel width === For a fin with height <math>H_{fin}</math> and width <math>W_{fin}</math>, the gate covers about <math>W_{eff,\,FinFET} \approx 2H_{fin} + W_{fin}</math> For a stacked nanosheet device with <math>N</math> sheets of width <math>W_{sheet}</math> and thickness <math>T_{sheet}</math>, the gate covers all four faces of each sheet: <math>W_{eff,\,GAA} \approx N \cdot 2\,(W_{sheet} + T_{sheet})</math> This formula shows why stacking helps. More current can be obtained without using more chip area, because the sheets are on top of each other. It also shows why sheet width can be tuned continuously. == Types of GAA transistors == === Nanowire GAAFET === A nanowire GAA device has a channel with a roughly circular or square cross-section a few nanometres across. Early demonstrations reported silicon nanowire GAA CMOS devices with diameters below 5 nm and good electrostatic behaviour.<ref name="singh2006">[[doi:10.23919/VLSIT.2017.7998183|Singh]], N. et al. "High-performance fully depleted silicon nanowire (diameter ≤ 5 nm) gate-all-around CMOS devices." ''IEEE Electron Device Letters'' 27(5), 383–386, 2006.</ref> The drawback is that one thin wire carries little current, so many wires must be stacked or placed in parallel. === Nanosheet GAAFET === A nanosheet device uses wide, flat sheets instead of round wires, stacked vertically. A wide sheet carries much more current than a thin wire, and the width can be chosen by the designer. This version is the one used in current manufacturing. Different companies use different names: * Samsung: '''MBCFET''' (Multi-Bridge-Channel FET) * Intel: '''RibbonFET''' * Research literature: nanosheet GAAFET An influential demonstration of stacked nanosheet transistors as a path beyond FinFET was published in 2017.<ref name="loubet2017">[[doi:10.23919/VLSIT.2017.7998183|Loubet]], N. et al.

"3nm GAA technology featuring multi-bridge-channel FET for low power and high performance applications." ''IEEE IEDM Technical Digest'', 28.7, 2018.</ref> === Forksheet (emerging) === A forksheet places the n-type and p-type nanosheet stacks on either side of a thin dielectric wall. The wall allows the two device types to sit closer together than in a normal nanosheet layout, which saves area. It is a research direction under study by industry research centres. === Comparison of structures === {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" |+ Nanowire and nanosheet GAA devices compared !

Alternating thin layers of silicon and silicon-germanium (SiGe) are grown on a silicon wafer by epitaxy. The Si layers will become the channels. The SiGe layers are sacrificial. # '''Fin patterning.''' Lithography and etching cut the stack into fin-like columns. Multiple-patterning or extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is used at the smallest pitches. # '''Shallow trench isolation (STI).''' Oxide is deposited between the fins to isolate neighbouring devices and then recessed. # '''Dummy gate formation.''' A temporary gate (often polysilicon) is placed across the fins. It defines where the real gate will go. # '''Spacer formation.''' Dielectric spacers are put on the sides of the dummy gate. # '''Inner spacer formation.''' The SiGe layers are etched back slightly at the edges, and the cavities are filled with dielectric. These inner spacers separate the future gate from the source and drain and reduce parasitic capacitance. This step is demanding because the etch must be uniform on every layer. # '''Source/drain epitaxy.''' Doped semiconductor is grown at both ends of the stack to form the source and drain. # '''Dielectric deposition and planarization.''' An interlayer dielectric is deposited and polished by chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) to expose the dummy gate. # '''Dummy gate removal and channel release.''' The dummy gate is removed, and the SiGe layers are then selectively etched away. The Si sheets are now suspended between source and drain. # '''High-k/metal gate deposition.'''

It can also be described as a dedicated computer system, which has been developed to perform a particular set of tasks. But it is not our traditional computer system or general purpose computers. These are the Embedded systems that may work independently or attached to a larger system to work on a few specific functions. These embedded systems can work without human intervention or with little human intervention. '''Autonomous robots''', from warehouse carrier to mars rover, depends on a small computer hidden inside it. That computer reads sensors, make descisions and drives motors, usually many times per second and without a human in the loop. This computer is an embedded system. [[File:Autonomous robot.jpg|center|503x503px]] This chapter explains what Embedded systems are, how they are built into autonomous robots, which hardware and software they use, the mathematics behind their control and navigation, and where the field is heading.

Envision a robot weaving its way through a busy room with obstacles and interferences, it spots those obstacles, and interferences, recognizes familiar objects, figures out where it is and chooses the safest route to its goal all on its own without anyone guiding it. Now the question that arises, How does a machine perform these activites without anyone controlling it manually? The brain behind this robots moving like a living organism, to have a mind of its own to think, analyze, and determine the right path towards its journey is the integration of Embedded systems, sensors, processors, control algorithms, and intelligent software. Modern autonomous robots are not simply mechanical structures equipped with motors. They are complex electronic systems capable of collecting information from their surrondings, processing that information in making decisions and performing physical actions. [[File:Visual robotics.jpg|right|606x606px]] An Autonomous robot continuously performs four fundamental operations: # Sensing: Collecting information from the environment using sensors embedded on the mechanical robot structure. # Processing: Analyzing the collected information using embedded processors. # Decision making: Selecting an appropriate action based on algorithms and environmental conditions from the set of available options on the field for the right course of goal. # Actuation: Executing the selected action through motors, servos, and other actuators. For example, consider an autonomous delivery robot operating inside a closed room with obstacles on ts path: * LIDAR sensor measures distances to its surrounding objects. * Depth cameras identify obstacles and environmental structures. * An embedded processor processes the sensor information. * Navigation algorithms calculate a safe path. * Motor contollers receive commands to move the wheels. * Feedback sensors continously monitor the robot's movement. === Beforehand we get in detail about Embedded systems in Autonomous Robotics there some terms we have to get familiar with, which are: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !S.NO !Terms !Definition |- |1. |Embedded Systems |A dedicated computing system built into a larger device to perform specific funtions, usually with real-time and resource constraints. |- |2. |Robot |A programmable machine that senses its environment and acts on it through actuators. |- |3. |Autonomous Robot |A robot that performs tasks and makes decisions in an unstructured environment without continuos human control. |- |4. |Microcontroller (MCU) |A single chip containing a CPU, memory and peripherals (timers, ADC, URAT, etc.). |- |5. |Microprocessor (MPU) |A CPU that needs external memory and peripherals, run full operating system such as Linux. |- |6. |Firmware |Software stored in no-volatile memory that runs directly on the embedded hardware. |- |7. |Real Time System |A system whose correctness depends on both the result and the time at which it is produced. |- |8. |Hard real-Time |Missing a deadline is a system failure (eg: airbag, motor current loop). |- |9. |Soft real-time |Missing a deadline degrades quality but is tolerable (eg: video streaming). |- |10. |RTOS |A real-time operating system that guarantees bounded, predictable task response. |- |11. |Latency |Delay between an event (sensor change) and the system response. |- |12. |Jitter |The small variation in timing of a task that is supposed to repeat at exact intervals. |- |13. |Actuator |A device that converts energy and control signals into physical motion. |- |14. |SLAM |Simultaneous Localization and Mapping: building a map while tracking position inside it. |- |15. |Degrees of freedom (DOF) |The number of independent, individual movements or parameters a robot joint or end effector can make in sppace. |} ====== If a question arises that, Why do we have to use Embedded Systems instead of a general PC? ====== To answer this primarily we need to understand that Robots need low power, small size, low cost, deterministic timing and direct hardware access. A desktop OS cannot guarantee that a motor control loop runs every 1ms, an embedded controller with an RTOS can meet these requirements of cost cutting. ===== Relationship between Embedded Systems and Robotics: ===== {| class="wikitable" |+ !Embedded Systems !Autonomous Robotics |- |Process sensor inputs |Understand the environment |- |Execute firmware |Perform robotic tasks |- |Control electronic hardware |Control movement and interaction |- |Manage communication |Coordinate robotic subsystems |- |Handle real time operations |Respond to environmental changes |} Embedded systems provide the computational intelligence that allows a robot to transform sensor information into physical actions. === The Sense, Think, Act Architecture: === Almost every autonomous robot works in a repeating cycle. It first senses the world (its surroundings), then thinks about what it found on its path and finally analizes and acts upon it accordingly through follow the right course. [[File:Sense-Think Act.jpg|center]] The controller is the core of everything. Signals from the sensors is filtered and converted into numbers, which are further processed by the controller in three stages, and the ouput leaves in the form of power signals for the motors. The motors affect the environment, the sensors detect the changes, and the cycle begins again. === The layered view: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Layer !Typical rate !Typical Hardware !Example task |- |Reactive (low level) |1-20 KHz |MCU |Motor current loop, reading encoders. |- |Control |100Hz - 1KHz |MCU with an RTOS |Wheel speed PID, balance control. |- |Perception |10-60Hz |SoC, GPU or NPU |Object detection, SLAM. |- |Planning and mission |1-10Hz |Application processor |Path planing, behaviour logic. |- |Cloud and fleet |seconds or more |Remote Server |Fleet management, map sharing. |} == Hardware of the Robot Brain: == The hardware of a robot brain is a mix of processor, memory, sensors, actuators and the circuits that connect them. Each part is chosen to match the speed, power and cost that needs of that job. # '''Processing Platforms:''' No single chip is best for every task, so robots often combine several type of chips whose performace varies on the task it is performing. A small MCU handles fast motor control. while a stronger processor or an AI chip handles vision and planning. {| class="wikitable" |+ !Platform !Strengths !Weaknesses !Typical robot use |- |MCU (ARM Cortex-M, AVR, ESP32) |Low power, low cost, predictable timing, many built-in peripherals. |Limited speed and memory. |Motor control, reading sensors. |- |MPU or application processor (ARM Cortex-A) |Runs Linux, plenty of memory |Less predictable timing, uses more power. |High level planning, ROS2. |- |DSP (Digital Signal Processing) |Very fast at repeated multiply and add maths |Narrow range of uses. |Filtering, audio, radar. |- |FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) |Does many things in parallel, very low delay. |Harder to program |Camera pipelines, fast motor loops. |- |GPU, NPU or TPU |Runs neural networks quickly. |High power use. |Object detection, perception. |- |SoC (system on chip) |Puts CPU, GPU and NPU on one chip. |Complex and costly |Modern autonomous platforms. |} === Inside a microcontroller: === A Microcontroller is a complete small computer on one chip. Basically the microcontroller consists of a processor, pheripherals, and specified I/O pins on one single board. The CPU, the memory and all the peripherals are joined by one internal bus, so any of them can exchange data. [[File:Internal structure of MCU.png|left|542x542px]] ===== Simplified internal strcture of an MCU: ===== Key peripherals # '''Timers and PWM:''' Produce precise pulses to control motor speed or servo angle. # '''ADC (Analog to Digital converter):''' Turns a sensor's changing voltage continuous signal into binary form so that the CPU can analyze. # '''DMA (Direct Memory Access):''' Moves data around without using the CPU, which leaves more time for control code. # '''Interrupt Controller:''' Lets urgent events, such as an encoder pulse or an emergency stop, pause normal code immediately. === Memory Types: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Memory''' !Keeps data without Power? !Use in robotics |- |Flash |Yes |Firmware and Calibration data |- |SRAM |No |Variables, stacks and buffers |- |DRAM |No |Large buffers such as images and maps (on MPU or SoC) |- |EEPROM or FRAM |Yes |Settings and logs |} === Sensors: === Sensors are the robot's senses. Some measure the robot itself (its wheel turns and tilt), and others measure the surrondings around it (distance and images). {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Sensor''' !What it measures !How it works !Typical output |- |Rotary encoder |Wheel or joint angle and speed |Optical or magnetic pulses |Digital pulses |- |IMU (Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer) |Acceleration, turn rate and heading |Tiny MEMS structures |I2C or SPI digital data |- |Ultrasonic |Distance, from centimetres to metres |Time taken by a sound echo |Pulse width |- |Infrared or time of flight |Short range distance |Reflected light |Analog voltage or I2C |- |LiDAR |Distance scan, 2D or 3D point cloud |Time taken by laser light to return |UART or Ethernet |- |Camera |Images |CMOS image sensor |MIPI or USB |- |GPS / GNSS |Position on Earth |Timing signals from staellites |UART (NMEA text) |- |Current sensor |Motor current |Hall effect or shunt resistor |Analog voltage |- |Force or torque sensor |Contact forces |Strain gauge |Analog voltage |} === Acutators and motor drives: === Actuators make the robot move. The embedded controller cannot power a motor directly, because its pins supply only a tiny current. A motor driver sits in between and switches the larger motor current on command. {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Actuator''' !Main features !Typical use |- |Brushed DC motor |Simple and Cheap |Small wheeled robots |- |Brushless DC (BLDC) motor |Efficient and long lasting, needs a special controller |Drones, wheel hub motors |- |Stepper motor |Moves in fixed steps, position without feedback |3D printers, simple arms |- |Servo motor |Has a built in position control loop |Hobby arms, grippers |- |Linear actuator |Moves in a straight line |lifting mechanisms |- |Pneumatic or hydraulic |Very high force |Industrial and heavy robots |} A common motor driver for DC motors is the H-bridge. It uses four switches arranged like the letter H, with motor in the middle. By closing a different pair of switches, the contoller can reverse the motor, brake it or let it spin freely. Figure 3 shows the idea. [[File:H bridge motor drive.png|center|539x539px]] == Software of the Robot Brain == Hardware alone does nothing. The software tells the processor how to read the sensors input, make decisions based on those inputs and drive the motors. In a robot, this software is arranged in layers, So each layer can be built and tested on its own. === The Software Stack: === At the bottom is the hardware, and just above it sits the code that hides hardware details from the rest of system. The operating system then shares the processor between tasks, and the higher layers hold the algorithms and the robot's overall mission [[File:Software stack.png|center|555x555px]] === Programming Languages: === * C and C++: The most common choices for firmware and real-time code, because they give direct control over memory and hardware. * Python: Often used for high-level logic, quick prototypes and AI tools. * Rust: A newer language that is growing in popularity because it prevents many memory errors. * VHDL and Verilog: Languages that decribe the circuits inside an FPGA. * MATLAB and Simulink: Used for model-based design, and they can generate C code automatically. === RTOS concepts: === An RTOS splits the software into separate tasks, which are small programs that run side by side. A scheduler decides which task gets the processor at any moment, and it always favours the most priority one. {| class="wikitable" |+ |Concept |Meaning |- |Task |An independent piece of code with its own stack of memory. |- |Priority |An indication concept showing how urgent a task is, where a higher priority runs first. |- |Preemption |Pausing a running task so a more urgent one can start. |- |Semaphore or Mutex |A lock that lets tasks take turns using a shared resource. |- |Queue |A safe way to pass data between tasks or from an interrupt. |- |ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) |A short piece of code that runs the moment a hardware event happens. |- |Priority Inversion |A low-priority task blocks a high-priority one,which is fixerd priority inheritance. |} === Typical Frimware Flow: === Most robot frimware follows the same pattern. It starts up, checks itself, and then repeats a loop of reading, deciding and acting. A timer interrupt runs the fast control loop at a fixed rate while the main loop handles slower work. If a fault is found at any time, the robot moves to safe state and stops the motors. [[File:Robot Firmware.png|center|681x681px]] == Essential Formulas == This section collects the formulas that embedded robotics designers use most often. Each one is explained in words and followed by a small worked example, so the maths can be checked by hand. === PWM (Pules Width Modulation) (motor speed control): === Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switches the supply on and off very quickly. The longer the supply stays on in each cycle, the higher the average voltage the motor receives, and the faster it turns. * <math>\begin{aligned} D &= \frac{T_{on}}{T_{period}} \\ V_{avg} &= D \times V_{supply} \\ f_{PWM} &= \frac{1}{T_{period}} \end{aligned}</math> Here D is the Duty Cycle, which is the fraction of each period that signal is on. For instance: with a 12v supply and a 60% duty cycle, V_avg =0.6 x 12 = 7.2V. === ADC resolution: === An ADC with N bits splits its reference voltage into 2^N equal steps. The size of one step is called the LSB, and it sets the smallest change the robot can detect. * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{LSB} &= \frac{V_{ref}}{2^{N}} \\ \text{Digital value} &= \frac{V_{in}}{V_{ref}} \times (2^{N}-1) \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12 bit ADC with V_ref = 3.3V has a step of 3.3 / 4096 ≈ 0.806mV. === Encoder measurements: === An encoder produces a fixed number of pulses for each turn of the wheel, called PPR (pulses per revolution). A quadrate encoder has two signals, so the controller can count four edges per pulse. This gives CPR, the counts per revolution. * <math>\begin{aligned} CPR &= PPR \times 4 \\ \text{Wheel speed (rev/s)} &= \frac{\Delta \text{counts}}{CPR \times \Delta t} \\ \text{Distance} &= \frac{\text{counts}}{CPR} \times 2\pi r \end{aligned}</math> Example: With PPR = 500, CPR = 2000. For a wheel of radius 5 cm, 2000 counts mean one full turn, which is 2π(0.05) ≈ 0.314m of travel. === Ultrasonic and time of flight distance: === These sensors send out a pulse and time how long the echo takes to return. Pulse travels to the object and back, so the result is divided by two. * <math>\begin{aligned} d &= \frac{v \times t}{2} \\ v_{sound} &\approx 331.3 + 0.606\,T \ \text{m/s} \\ d_{LiDAR} &= \frac{c \times t}{2}, \quad c = 3\times10^{8}\ \text{m/s} \end{aligned}</math> In these formulas T is the air temperatur in degree centigrade and c is the speed of light. === Differential drive kinematics: === Many small robots have two driven wheels on either side. Steering is done by running the wheels at different speeds. Let r be the wheel radius, L the distance between the wheels, and ωR and ωL the wheel speeds. [[File:Differential Drive.png|right|460x460px]] The forward speed V and the robot's turn rate ω follow from the two wheels speeds: * <math>\begin{aligned} v &= \frac{r(\omega_R + \omega_L)}{2} \\ \omega &= \frac{r(\omega_R - \omega_L)}{L} \end{aligned}</math> The controller updates the pose in small time steps Δt. This method is called odometry: * <math>\begin{aligned} x_{new} &= x + v\cos\theta\,\Delta t \\ y_{new} &= y + v\sin\theta\,\Delta t \\ \theta_{new} &= \theta + \omega\,\Delta t \end{aligned}</math> Going the other way, the wheel speeds needed for a wanted speed V and turn rate ω are: * <math>\begin{aligned} \omega_R &= \frac{2v + \omega L}{2r} \\ \omega_L &= \frac{2v - \omega L}{2r} \end{aligned}</math> === PID control: === A PID controller is the mot common way to hold a value, such as wheel speed, at a target. It looks at the error e, which is the setpoint minus the measured value, and combines three parts. the P part reacts to the present error, the I part adds up past error, and the D part reacts to how fasst the error changing. * <math>\begin{aligned} u(t) &= K_p\,e(t) + K_i \int e(t)\,dt + K_d \frac{de(t)}{dt} \\ u[k] &= K_p\,e[k] + K_i\,T \sum_{i} e[i] + K_d\,\frac{e[k]-e[k-1]}{T} \end{aligned}</math> The second line is the discrete form that firmware actually runs, where T is the sample time. [[File:PID controller.png|left|525x525px]] {| class="wikitable" |+ !Gain !What happens when it is increased |- |Kp |Faster response, but more overshoot and possible oscillation |- |ki |Removes the leftover steady error, but can cause windup |- |Kd |Adds damping and reduces overshoot, but amplifies noise |} Anti windup: When the output is already at its limit, the integral part keeps growing and later causes a large overshoot. To prevent this, the integral is clamped or paused while the output is saturated. === Sensor fusion: === Every sensor has weaknesses. A gyroscope is smooth but drifts over time, while an accelerometer is noisy but does not drift. Sensor fusion combines them to get a better estimate than either could give alone. The complementary filter is the simplest method. It trusts the gyroscope for quick changes and the accelerometer for the long term average: * <math>\theta_{est} = \alpha\,(\theta_{est} + \omega_{gyro}\,\Delta t) + (1-\alpha)\,\theta_{accel}, \quad \alpha \approx 0.95 \text{ to } 0.99</math> The Kalman filter is a more powerful method that gives the best estimate for linear systems with Gaussain noise. It repeats two steps, predict and update: * <math>\begin{aligned} \hat{x}^- &= A\hat{x} + Bu \\ P^- &= A P A^{T} + Q \\ K &= P^- H^{T}\,(H P^- H^{T} + R)^{-1} \\ \hat{x} &= \hat{x}^- + K\,(z - H\hat{x}^-) \\ P &= (I - KH)\,P^- \end{aligned}</math> Here x is the state, P is the uncertainty, Q is the process noise, R is the measurement noise, Z is the new measurement and K is the Kalman gain. For nonlinear systems, robots use the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) or particle filters. === Path Planning with A*: === A* finds the cheapest route across a map. For each location n it adds the cost already spent, g(n), to a guess of the cost still to come, h(n), and always explores the lowest total first. * <math>\begin{aligned} f(n) &= g(n) + h(n) \\ h_{Euclid} &= \sqrt{(x_g-x_n)^2 + (y_g-y_n)^2} \\ h_{Manhattan} &= |x_g-x_n| + |y_g-y_n| \end{aligned}</math> A* gives the best path as long as h never overestimates the real remaining cost. Such a guess is called admissible. === Real time schedulability: === Before a design is accepted, its designer must check that every periodic task can meet its deadline. For n tasks with run time C_i and period T_i, tje CPU utilization is the sum of C_i / T_i. Rate Monotonic (RM) scheduling gives fixed priority to the tasks with the shortest periods. Earliest Deadline First (EDF) always runs the task whose deadline is closest. * <math>\begin{aligned} U &= \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{C_i}{T_i} \\ U_{RM} &\le n\left(2^{1/n}-1\right) \\ U_{EDF} &\le 1 \end{aligned}</math> Example: Take three tasks with (C = 1ms, T = 5ms), (C = 2ms, T = 10ms) and (C = 3ms, T = 20ms). Then U = 0.20 + 0.20 +0.15 =0.55. The RM bound for three tasks is 0.78, so the task set is schedulable. [[File:RM CPU.png|center|815x815px]] Chart 1, with three tasks the RM guarantee is 78.0%, so the 55% example above passes easily. EDF accepts any setup to 100%. === Power and battery: === The battery size decides how long the robot can work. Energy is voltage time capacity, and runtime is the usable capacity divided by the average current. * <math>\begin{aligned} P &= V \times I \\ E_{Wh} &= V \times Ah \\ \text{Runtime (h)} &= \frac{\text{capacity (Ah)} \times \text{usable fraction}}{\text{average current (A)}} \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12V, 5 Ah pack with 80% usable capacity and a 2 A average load runs for 5 x 0.8/2 = 2hours. [[File:Battery runtime vs average current draw.png|center|779x779px]] Chart 2, Only loads of 1A or less meet a 4 hour runtime target on this pack. === Control Loop timing budget: === A control loop must finish its work before the next cycle begins. The worst case execution time (WCET) must therefore stay below the loop period, and the total delay from sensor to actuator should be kept small. * <math>\begin{aligned} T &= \frac{1}{f_{loop}} \\ WCET &< T \\ t_{latency} &= t_{sense} + t_{compute} + t_{comm} + t_{actuate} \end{aligned}</math> == Preception and Edge AI == Modern robots run machine learning models directly on their own hardware, this is called Edge AI. It avoids the delay of sending data to a remote server, and it keeps working when the network connection is lost. A typical perception pipeline starts with raw sensor data and ends with a controller command. Each step prepares the data for the next one. [[File:PERCEPTION TO ACTION PIPELINE.png|center|727x727px]] The main techniques used in this process are: * Object detection and segmentation with convolutional neural networks, which find and outline object in images. * Visual odometry and SLAM, which estimate the robot's movement and build a map. * Sensor fusion of camera, LiDAR, radar and IMU data, so that one failing sensor does not blind the robot. * Model optimization for small hardware, using quantization (replacing 32-bit decimals with 8-bit integers),pruning (removing unneeded connections) and distillation (training a small model to copy a large one). Two simple measures help compare AI chips: * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{FPS} &= \frac{1}{\text{latency}} \\ \text{Efficiency} &= \frac{\text{TOPS}}{\text{Watt}} \end{aligned}</math> FPS is the number of frames processed each second, and TOPS means trillions of operations per second. == Navigation and Decision Making == Navigation answers three questions: where is the robot, where should it go, and how can it get there without hitting anything. === The navigation stack: === Navigation software is usually split into global planner, which finds a route across the whole map, and a local planner, which adjusts the path in real time around nearby obstacles. Both depend on an up to date obstacle map, called a costmap. [[File:Navigation Stack.png|center|634x634px]] === Obstacle avoidance decision flow: === The simplest form of avoidance is reactive. The robot reads its distance sensors, checks the way ahead, and only changes direction if something is too close. [[File:Obstacle Avoidance.png|center|798x798px]] === Behaviour approaches: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Approach !Main idea !Advantages !Disadvantages |- |Reactive |Sensor readings directly trigger actions |Fast and simple |No long term planning |- |Deliberative |Plan from a model of the world |Finds good paths |Slow and depends on the model |- |Hybrid |Reactive base with a planner above it |A good balance |More complex |- |Behaviour trees and state machines |Organized task logic |Easy to read and reuse |Needs carful design |- |Learning based |A policy learned from data |Handles complex situations |Hard to verify |} == Safety, Reliability, and Security == A robot that moves in the real worls can hurt people or damge property in case malfunction of that robot, so safety is the most priorty given in part of design of robot since day one. Several international standards guide this work: * IEC 61508 (general functional safety), * ISO 13849 and ISO 10218 (machinery and industrial robots), * ISO 26262 (road vehicles) and * ISO 13482 (personal care robots). {| class="wikitable" |+ !Technique !Purpose |- |Watchdog timers |Restart the system if the software locks up |- |Emergency stop (E-Stop) |Cut power to the actuators using hardware alone |- |Redundancy (two sensors or two processors) |Keep working safely after a single failure |- |Fail Safe state |Move to a harmless condition, usually stopped, when a fault appears |- |Memory protection (MPU) |Stop a faullty task from damaging other tasks |- |Self test and diagnostics |Find faults early, before they cause harm |- |Over current and over temperature protection |Protect motors and batteries from damage |} '''Realiability:''' A common measure is availability, which is the fraction of time the system is working. It is calculated as MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR), where MTBF is the mean time between failures and MTTR is the mean time to repair. '''Security:''' A robot connected to a network can be attacked like any other computer. Good practice includes secure boot, signed firmware updates, encrypted communication, strong access control and giving each part only the permissions it needs. == Power Management == Power is one of the biggest limits in robot design, because more battery means more weight and more cost. * '''Batteries:''' Lithium io and LiPo packs stores a lot of energy for their weight. They need a battery management system (BMS) that balances the cells and guards against over voltage, under voltage and high temperature. * '''Regulators:''' Buck converts step the voltage down efficiently, while LDO regulators are quiet but waste the difference as heat. * '''Efficiency:''' The share of input power that reaches the load, calculated as η = P_out / P_in. * '''Low power techniques:''' Sleep modes, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, switching off sensors that are not in use, and efficient algorithms. * '''Dynamic power of a CPU:''' Roughly P = C x V² x f, so having the volatge cuts dynamic power to about a quarter. [[File:CPU Power saving.png|center|772x772px]] Chart 3, Lowering the voltage saves far more power than lowering the frequency alone, which is why dynamic voltage and frequency scaling is widely used. == Applications == {| class="wikitable" |+ !Domain !Example !Role of the Embedded System |- |Industry |Mobile robots and robotic arms |Motion control and safety |- |Logistics |Warehouse shuttles |Navigation and fleet communication |- |Agriculture |Autonomous tractors and harvesters |GNSS navigation and vision |- |Healthcare |Surgical and rehabilitation robots |Precise force and position control |- |Home |Robot vaccum cleaners |Low cost SLAM and cliff detection |- |Aerospace and defence |UAVs and planetary rovers |Flight control and radiation tolerant design |- |Underwater |Autonomous underwater vehicles |Low-power navigation and sealed electronics |- |Automotive |Self driving cars |Sensor fusion and ISO 26262 safety |} == Challenges and Future Trends == === Challenges: === # Strict limits on power, size, weight and cost. # Keeping timing guarantees while running heavy AI workloads. # Sensor noise, drift and failure in unpredictable surroundings. # Testing and certifying software that learns from data. # Protecting connected robots from cyber attacks. # Handling heat and keeping hardware reliable over many years. === Trends: === * Mixed SoCs that combine CPU, GPU, NPU and real time cores on one chip. * TinyML and neuromorphic chips for very low power intelligence. * Micro ROS and ROS2 bringing standard robot middleware to small MCUs. * Open hardware and simulation based testing. * Swarm robotics and fleets linked over 5G and 6G. * Secure over the air software updates. * Foundation models and vision language models that guide robot behaviour. == Summary == An Autonomous Robot is only as capable as the embedded system driving it. That system ties sensing, decision making and movement together in one fast, tightly timed loop. Getting it right means picking hardware that fits the job, writing software that responds predictably, using solid control and estimation maths, and building in safety, security and power efficiency from the start. == Review Questions == # Explain the difference between a microcontroller and a microprocessor.

It can also be described as a dedicated computer system, which has been developed to perform a particular set of tasks. But it is not our traditional computer system or general purpose computers. These are the Embedded systems that may work independently or attached to a larger system to work on a few specific functions. These embedded systems can work without human intervention or with little human intervention. '''Autonomous robots''', from warehouse carrier to mars rover, depends on a small computer hidden inside it. That computer reads sensors, make descisions and drives motors, usually many times per second and without a human in the loop. This computer is an embedded system. [[File:Autonomous robot.jpg|center|503x503px]] This chapter explains what Embedded systems are, how they are built into autonomous robots, which hardware and software they use, the mathematics behind their control and navigation, and where the field is heading. '''What to expect from this page:''' * Define Embedded System, Autonomous Robot, real time system and RTOS. * Express the Sense, Think, Act architecture of a robot. * Compare microcontrollers, microprocessors, DSPs, FPGAs, SoCs, and AI accelerators. * Explain common sensors, actuators and communication buses. * Apply the key formulas: PWM, ADC, resolution, encoder counts, differential-drive Kinematics, PID, Kalman filtering, and real time schedulability. * Describe safety, security and power constraints, and future trends. == Introduction to Embedded Systems in Autonomous Robotics: == '''Embedded Systems in Autonomous Robotics''' refer to the combination of dedicated computing hardware and specialized software integrated into robotic machines to perform sensing, data processing, decision making, communicatio, and motion control in real time. Envision a robot weaving its way through a busy room with obstacles and interferences, it spots those obstacles, and interferences, recognizes familiar objects, figures out where it is and chooses the safest route to its goal all on its own without anyone guiding it. Now the question that arises, How does a machine perform these activites without anyone controlling it manually? The brain behind this robots moving like a living organism, to have a mind of its own to think, analyze, and determine the right path towards its journey is the integration of Embedded systems, sensors, processors, control algorithms, and intelligent software. Modern autonomous robots are not simply mechanical structures equipped with motors. They are complex electronic systems capable of collecting information from their surrondings, processing that information in making decisions and performing physical actions. [[File:Visual robotics.jpg|right|606x606px]] An Autonomous robot continuously performs four fundamental operations: # Sensing: Collecting information from the environment using sensors embedded on the mechanical robot structure. # Processing: Analyzing the collected information using embedded processors. # Decision making: Selecting an appropriate action based on algorithms and environmental conditions from the set of available options on the field for the right course of goal. # Actuation: Executing the selected action through motors, servos, and other actuators. For example, consider an autonomous delivery robot operating inside a closed room with obstacles on ts path: * LIDAR sensor measures distances to its surrounding objects. * Depth cameras identify obstacles and environmental structures. * An embedded processor processes the sensor information. * Navigation algorithms calculate a safe path. * Motor contollers receive commands to move the wheels. * Feedback sensors continously monitor the robot's movement. === Beforehand we get in detail about Embedded systems in Autonomous Robotics there some terms we have to get familiar with, which are: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !S.NO !Terms !Definition |- |1. |Embedded Systems |A dedicated computing system built into a larger device to perform specific funtions, usually with real-time and resource constraints. |- |2. |Robot |A programmable machine that senses its environment and acts on it through actuators. |- |3. |Autonomous Robot |A robot that performs tasks and makes decisions in an unstructured environment without continuos human control. |- |4. |Microcontroller (MCU) |A single chip containing a CPU, memory and peripherals (timers, ADC, URAT, etc.). |- |5. |Microprocessor (MPU) |A CPU that needs external memory and peripherals, run full operating system such as Linux. |- |6. |Firmware |Software stored in no-volatile memory that runs directly on the embedded hardware. |- |7. |Real Time System |A system whose correctness depends on both the result and the time at which it is produced. |- |8. |Hard real-Time |Missing a deadline is a system failure (eg: airbag, motor current loop). |- |9. |Soft real-time |Missing a deadline degrades quality but is tolerable (eg: video streaming). |- |10. |RTOS |A real-time operating system that guarantees bounded, predictable task response. |- |11. |Latency |Delay between an event (sensor change) and the system response. |- |12. |Jitter |The small variation in timing of a task that is supposed to repeat at exact intervals. |- |13. |Actuator |A device that converts energy and control signals into physical motion. |- |14. |SLAM |Simultaneous Localization and Mapping: building a map while tracking position inside it. |- |15. |Degrees of freedom (DOF) |The number of independent, individual movements or parameters a robot joint or end effector can make in sppace. |} ====== If a question arises that, Why do we have to use Embedded Systems instead of a general PC? ====== To answer this primarily we need to understand that Robots need low power, small size, low cost, deterministic timing and direct hardware access. A desktop OS cannot guarantee that a motor control loop runs every 1ms, an embedded controller with an RTOS can meet these requirements of cost cutting. ===== Relationship between Embedded Systems and Robotics: ===== {| class="wikitable" |+ !Embedded Systems !Autonomous Robotics |- |Process sensor inputs |Understand the environment |- |Execute firmware |Perform robotic tasks |- |Control electronic hardware |Control movement and interaction |- |Manage communication |Coordinate robotic subsystems |- |Handle real time operations |Respond to environmental changes |} Embedded systems provide the computational intelligence that allows a robot to transform sensor information into physical actions. === The Sense, Think, Act Architecture: === Almost every autonomous robot works in a repeating cycle. It first senses the world (its surroundings), then thinks about what it found on its path and finally analizes and acts upon it accordingly through follow the right course. [[File:Sense-Think Act.jpg|center]] The controller is the core of everything. Signals from the sensors is filtered and converted into numbers, which are further processed by the controller in three stages, and the ouput leaves in the form of power signals for the motors. The motors affect the environment, the sensors detect the changes, and the cycle begins again. === The layered view: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Layer !Typical rate !Typical Hardware !Example task |- |Reactive (low level) |1-20 KHz |MCU |Motor current loop, reading encoders. |- |Control |100Hz - 1KHz |MCU with an RTOS |Wheel speed PID, balance control. |- |Perception |10-60Hz |SoC, GPU or NPU |Object detection, SLAM. |- |Planning and mission |1-10Hz |Application processor |Path planing, behaviour logic. |- |Cloud and fleet |seconds or more |Remote Server |Fleet management, map sharing. |} == Hardware of the Robot Brain: == The hardware of a robot brain is a mix of processor, memory, sensors, actuators and the circuits that connect them. Each part is chosen to match the speed, power and cost that needs of that job. # '''Processing Platforms:''' No single chip is best for every task, so robots often combine several type of chips whose performace varies on the task it is performing. A small MCU handles fast motor control. while a stronger processor or an AI chip handles vision and planning. {| class="wikitable" |+ !Platform !Strengths !Weaknesses !Typical robot use |- |MCU (ARM Cortex-M, AVR, ESP32) |Low power, low cost, predictable timing, many built-in peripherals. |Limited speed and memory. |Motor control, reading sensors. |- |MPU or application processor (ARM Cortex-A) |Runs Linux, plenty of memory |Less predictable timing, uses more power. |High level planning, ROS2. |- |DSP (Digital Signal Processing) |Very fast at repeated multiply and add maths |Narrow range of uses. |Filtering, audio, radar. |- |FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) |Does many things in parallel, very low delay. |Harder to program |Camera pipelines, fast motor loops. |- |GPU, NPU or TPU |Runs neural networks quickly. |High power use. |Object detection, perception. |- |SoC (system on chip) |Puts CPU, GPU and NPU on one chip. |Complex and costly |Modern autonomous platforms. |} === Inside a microcontroller: === A Microcontroller is a complete small computer on one chip. Basically the microcontroller consists of a processor, pheripherals, and specified I/O pins on one single board. The CPU, the memory and all the peripherals are joined by one internal bus, so any of them can exchange data. [[File:Internal structure of MCU.png|left|542x542px]] ===== Simplified internal strcture of an MCU: ===== Key peripherals # '''Timers and PWM:''' Produce precise pulses to control motor speed or servo angle. # '''ADC (Analog to Digital converter):''' Turns a sensor's changing voltage continuous signal into binary form so that the CPU can analyze. # '''DMA (Direct Memory Access):''' Moves data around without using the CPU, which leaves more time for control code. # '''Interrupt Controller:''' Lets urgent events, such as an encoder pulse or an emergency stop, pause normal code immediately. === Memory Types: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Memory''' !Keeps data without Power? !Use in robotics |- |Flash |Yes |Firmware and Calibration data |- |SRAM |No |Variables, stacks and buffers |- |DRAM |No |Large buffers such as images and maps (on MPU or SoC) |- |EEPROM or FRAM |Yes |Settings and logs |} === Sensors: === Sensors are the robot's senses. Some measure the robot itself (its wheel turns and tilt), and others measure the surrondings around it (distance and images). {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Sensor''' !What it measures !How it works !Typical output |- |Rotary encoder |Wheel or joint angle and speed |Optical or magnetic pulses |Digital pulses |- |IMU (Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer) |Acceleration, turn rate and heading |Tiny MEMS structures |I2C or SPI digital data |- |Ultrasonic |Distance, from centimetres to metres |Time taken by a sound echo |Pulse width |- |Infrared or time of flight |Short range distance |Reflected light |Analog voltage or I2C |- |LiDAR |Distance scan, 2D or 3D point cloud |Time taken by laser light to return |UART or Ethernet |- |Camera |Images |CMOS image sensor |MIPI or USB |- |GPS / GNSS |Position on Earth |Timing signals from staellites |UART (NMEA text) |- |Current sensor |Motor current |Hall effect or shunt resistor |Analog voltage |- |Force or torque sensor |Contact forces |Strain gauge |Analog voltage |} === Acutators and motor drives: === Actuators make the robot move. The embedded controller cannot power a motor directly, because its pins supply only a tiny current. A motor driver sits in between and switches the larger motor current on command. {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Actuator''' !Main features !Typical use |- |Brushed DC motor |Simple and Cheap |Small wheeled robots |- |Brushless DC (BLDC) motor |Efficient and long lasting, needs a special controller |Drones, wheel hub motors |- |Stepper motor |Moves in fixed steps, position without feedback |3D printers, simple arms |- |Servo motor |Has a built in position control loop |Hobby arms, grippers |- |Linear actuator |Moves in a straight line |lifting mechanisms |- |Pneumatic or hydraulic |Very high force |Industrial and heavy robots |} A common motor driver for DC motors is the H-bridge. It uses four switches arranged like the letter H, with motor in the middle. By closing a different pair of switches, the contoller can reverse the motor, brake it or let it spin freely. Figure 3 shows the idea. [[File:H bridge motor drive.png|center|539x539px]] == Software of the Robot Brain == Hardware alone does nothing. The software tells the processor how to read the sensors input, make decisions based on those inputs and drive the motors. In a robot, this software is arranged in layers, So each layer can be built and tested on its own. === The Software Stack: === At the bottom is the hardware, and just above it sits the code that hides hardware details from the rest of system. The operating system then shares the processor between tasks, and the higher layers hold the algorithms and the robot's overall mission [[File:Software stack.png|center|555x555px]] === Programming Languages: === * C and C++: The most common choices for firmware and real-time code, because they give direct control over memory and hardware. * Python: Often used for high-level logic, quick prototypes and AI tools. * Rust: A newer language that is growing in popularity because it prevents many memory errors. * VHDL and Verilog: Languages that decribe the circuits inside an FPGA. * MATLAB and Simulink: Used for model-based design, and they can generate C code automatically. === RTOS concepts: === An RTOS splits the software into separate tasks, which are small programs that run side by side. A scheduler decides which task gets the processor at any moment, and it always favours the most priority one. {| class="wikitable" |+ |Concept |Meaning |- |Task |An independent piece of code with its own stack of memory. |- |Priority |An indication concept showing how urgent a task is, where a higher priority runs first. |- |Preemption |Pausing a running task so a more urgent one can start. |- |Semaphore or Mutex |A lock that lets tasks take turns using a shared resource. |- |Queue |A safe way to pass data between tasks or from an interrupt. |- |ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) |A short piece of code that runs the moment a hardware event happens. |- |Priority Inversion |A low-priority task blocks a high-priority one,which is fixerd priority inheritance. |} === Typical Frimware Flow: === Most robot frimware follows the same pattern. It starts up, checks itself, and then repeats a loop of reading, deciding and acting. A timer interrupt runs the fast control loop at a fixed rate while the main loop handles slower work. If a fault is found at any time, the robot moves to safe state and stops the motors. [[File:Robot Firmware.png|center|681x681px]] == Essential Formulas == This section collects the formulas that embedded robotics designers use most often. Each one is explained in words and followed by a small worked example, so the maths can be checked by hand. === PWM (Pules Width Modulation) (motor speed control): === Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switches the supply on and off very quickly. The longer the supply stays on in each cycle, the higher the average voltage the motor receives, and the faster it turns. * <math>\begin{aligned} D &= \frac{T_{on}}{T_{period}} \\ V_{avg} &= D \times V_{supply} \\ f_{PWM} &= \frac{1}{T_{period}} \end{aligned}</math> Here D is the Duty Cycle, which is the fraction of each period that signal is on. For instance: with a 12v supply and a 60% duty cycle, V_avg =0.6 x 12 = 7.2V. === ADC resolution: === An ADC with N bits splits its reference voltage into 2^N equal steps. The size of one step is called the LSB, and it sets the smallest change the robot can detect. * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{LSB} &= \frac{V_{ref}}{2^{N}} \\ \text{Digital value} &= \frac{V_{in}}{V_{ref}} \times (2^{N}-1) \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12 bit ADC with V_ref = 3.3V has a step of 3.3 / 4096 ≈ 0.806mV. === Encoder measurements: === An encoder produces a fixed number of pulses for each turn of the wheel, called PPR (pulses per revolution). A quadrate encoder has two signals, so the controller can count four edges per pulse. This gives CPR, the counts per revolution. * <math>\begin{aligned} CPR &= PPR \times 4 \\ \text{Wheel speed (rev/s)} &= \frac{\Delta \text{counts}}{CPR \times \Delta t} \\ \text{Distance} &= \frac{\text{counts}}{CPR} \times 2\pi r \end{aligned}</math> Example: With PPR = 500, CPR = 2000. For a wheel of radius 5 cm, 2000 counts mean one full turn, which is 2π(0.05) ≈ 0.314m of travel. === Ultrasonic and time of flight distance: === These sensors send out a pulse and time how long the echo takes to return. Pulse travels to the object and back, so the result is divided by two. * <math>\begin{aligned} d &= \frac{v \times t}{2} \\ v_{sound} &\approx 331.3 + 0.606\,T \ \text{m/s} \\ d_{LiDAR} &= \frac{c \times t}{2}, \quad c = 3\times10^{8}\ \text{m/s} \end{aligned}</math> In these formulas T is the air temperatur in degree centigrade and c is the speed of light. === Differential drive kinematics: === Many small robots have two driven wheels on either side. Steering is done by running the wheels at different speeds. Let r be the wheel radius, L the distance between the wheels, and ωR and ωL the wheel speeds. [[File:Differential Drive.png|right|460x460px]] The forward speed V and the robot's turn rate ω follow from the two wheels speeds: * <math>\begin{aligned} v &= \frac{r(\omega_R + \omega_L)}{2} \\ \omega &= \frac{r(\omega_R - \omega_L)}{L} \end{aligned}</math> The controller updates the pose in small time steps Δt. This method is called odometry: * <math>\begin{aligned} x_{new} &= x + v\cos\theta\,\Delta t \\ y_{new} &= y + v\sin\theta\,\Delta t \\ \theta_{new} &= \theta + \omega\,\Delta t \end{aligned}</math> Going the other way, the wheel speeds needed for a wanted speed V and turn rate ω are: * <math>\begin{aligned} \omega_R &= \frac{2v + \omega L}{2r} \\ \omega_L &= \frac{2v - \omega L}{2r} \end{aligned}</math> === PID control: === A PID controller is the mot common way to hold a value, such as wheel speed, at a target. It looks at the error e, which is the setpoint minus the measured value, and combines three parts. the P part reacts to the present error, the I part adds up past error, and the D part reacts to how fasst the error changing. * <math>\begin{aligned} u(t) &= K_p\,e(t) + K_i \int e(t)\,dt + K_d \frac{de(t)}{dt} \\ u[k] &= K_p\,e[k] + K_i\,T \sum_{i} e[i] + K_d\,\frac{e[k]-e[k-1]}{T} \end{aligned}</math> The second line is the discrete form that firmware actually runs, where T is the sample time. [[File:PID controller.png|left|525x525px]] {| class="wikitable" |+ !Gain !What happens when it is increased |- |Kp |Faster response, but more overshoot and possible oscillation |- |ki |Removes the leftover steady error, but can cause windup |- |Kd |Adds damping and reduces overshoot, but amplifies noise |} Anti windup: When the output is already at its limit, the integral part keeps growing and later causes a large overshoot. To prevent this, the integral is clamped or paused while the output is saturated. === Sensor fusion: === Every sensor has weaknesses. A gyroscope is smooth but drifts over time, while an accelerometer is noisy but does not drift. Sensor fusion combines them to get a better estimate than either could give alone. The complementary filter is the simplest method. It trusts the gyroscope for quick changes and the accelerometer for the long term average: * <math>\theta_{est} = \alpha\,(\theta_{est} + \omega_{gyro}\,\Delta t) + (1-\alpha)\,\theta_{accel}, \quad \alpha \approx 0.95 \text{ to } 0.99</math> The Kalman filter is a more powerful method that gives the best estimate for linear systems with Gaussain noise. It repeats two steps, predict and update: * <math>\begin{aligned} \hat{x}^- &= A\hat{x} + Bu \\ P^- &= A P A^{T} + Q \\ K &= P^- H^{T}\,(H P^- H^{T} + R)^{-1} \\ \hat{x} &= \hat{x}^- + K\,(z - H\hat{x}^-) \\ P &= (I - KH)\,P^- \end{aligned}</math> Here x is the state, P is the uncertainty, Q is the process noise, R is the measurement noise, Z is the new measurement and K is the Kalman gain. For nonlinear systems, robots use the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) or particle filters. === Path Planning with A*: === A* finds the cheapest route across a map. For each location n it adds the cost already spent, g(n), to a guess of the cost still to come, h(n), and always explores the lowest total first. * <math>\begin{aligned} f(n) &= g(n) + h(n) \\ h_{Euclid} &= \sqrt{(x_g-x_n)^2 + (y_g-y_n)^2} \\ h_{Manhattan} &= |x_g-x_n| + |y_g-y_n| \end{aligned}</math> A* gives the best path as long as h never overestimates the real remaining cost. Such a guess is called admissible. === Real time schedulability: === Before a design is accepted, its designer must check that every periodic task can meet its deadline. For n tasks with run time C_i and period T_i, tje CPU utilization is the sum of C_i / T_i. Rate Monotonic (RM) scheduling gives fixed priority to the tasks with the shortest periods. Earliest Deadline First (EDF) always runs the task whose deadline is closest. * <math>\begin{aligned} U &= \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{C_i}{T_i} \\ U_{RM} &\le n\left(2^{1/n}-1\right) \\ U_{EDF} &\le 1 \end{aligned}</math> Example: Take three tasks with (C = 1ms, T = 5ms), (C = 2ms, T = 10ms) and (C = 3ms, T = 20ms). Then U = 0.20 + 0.20 +0.15 =0.55. The RM bound for three tasks is 0.78, so the task set is schedulable. [[File:RM CPU.png|center|815x815px]] Chart 1, with three tasks the RM guarantee is 78.0%, so the 55% example above passes easily. EDF accepts any setup to 100%. === Power and battery: === The battery size decides how long the robot can work. Energy is voltage time capacity, and runtime is the usable capacity divided by the average current. * <math>\begin{aligned} P &= V \times I \\ E_{Wh} &= V \times Ah \\ \text{Runtime (h)} &= \frac{\text{capacity (Ah)} \times \text{usable fraction}}{\text{average current (A)}} \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12V, 5 Ah pack with 80% usable capacity and a 2 A average load runs for 5 x 0.8/2 = 2hours. [[File:Battery runtime vs average current draw.png|center|779x779px]] Chart 2, Only loads of 1A or less meet a 4 hour runtime target on this pack. === Control Loop timing budget: === A control loop must finish its work before the next cycle begins. The worst case execution time (WCET) must therefore stay below the loop period, and the total delay from sensor to actuator should be kept small. * <math>\begin{aligned} T &= \frac{1}{f_{loop}} \\ WCET &< T \\ t_{latency} &= t_{sense} + t_{compute} + t_{comm} + t_{actuate} \end{aligned}</math> == Preception and Edge AI == Modern robots run machine learning models directly on their own hardware, this is called Edge AI. It avoids the delay of sending data to a remote server, and it keeps working when the network connection is lost. A typical perception pipeline starts with raw sensor data and ends with a controller command. Each step prepares the data for the next one. [[File:PERCEPTION TO ACTION PIPELINE.png|center|727x727px]] The main techniques used in this process are: * Object detection and segmentation with convolutional neural networks, which find and outline object in images. * Visual odometry and SLAM, which estimate the robot's movement and build a map. * Sensor fusion of camera, LiDAR, radar and IMU data, so that one failing sensor does not blind the robot. * Model optimization for small hardware, using quantization (replacing 32-bit decimals with 8-bit integers),pruning (removing unneeded connections) and distillation (training a small model to copy a large one). Two simple measures help compare AI chips: * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{FPS} &= \frac{1}{\text{latency}} \\ \text{Efficiency} &= \frac{\text{TOPS}}{\text{Watt}} \end{aligned}</math> FPS is the number of frames processed each second, and TOPS means trillions of operations per second. == Navigation and Decision Making == Navigation answers three questions: where is the robot, where should it go, and how can it get there without hitting anything. === The navigation stack: === Navigation software is usually split into global planner, which finds a route across the whole map, and a local planner, which adjusts the path in real time around nearby obstacles. Both depend on an up to date obstacle map, called a costmap. [[File:Navigation Stack.png|center|634x634px]] === Obstacle avoidance decision flow: === The simplest form of avoidance is reactive. The robot reads its distance sensors, checks the way ahead, and only changes direction if something is too close. [[File:Obstacle Avoidance.png|center|798x798px]] === Behaviour approaches: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Approach !Main idea !Advantages !Disadvantages |- |Reactive |Sensor readings directly trigger actions |Fast and simple |No long term planning |- |Deliberative |Plan from a model of the world |Finds good paths |Slow and depends on the model |- |Hybrid |Reactive base with a planner above it |A good balance |More complex |- |Behaviour trees and state machines |Organized task logic |Easy to read and reuse |Needs carful design |- |Learning based |A policy learned from data |Handles complex situations |Hard to verify |} == Safety, Reliability, and Security == A robot that moves in the real worls can hurt people or damge property in case malfunction of that robot, so safety is the most priorty given in part of design of robot since day one. Several international standards guide this work: * IEC 61508 (general functional safety), * ISO 13849 and ISO 10218 (machinery and industrial robots), * ISO 26262 (road vehicles) and * ISO 13482 (personal care robots). {| class="wikitable" |+ !Technique !Purpose |- |Watchdog timers |Restart the system if the software locks up |- |Emergency stop (E-Stop) |Cut power to the actuators using hardware alone |- |Redundancy (two sensors or two processors) |Keep working safely after a single failure |- |Fail Safe state |Move to a harmless condition, usually stopped, when a fault appears |- |Memory protection (MPU) |Stop a faullty task from damaging other tasks |- |Self test and diagnostics |Find faults early, before they cause harm |- |Over current and over temperature protection |Protect motors and batteries from damage |} '''Realiability:''' A common measure is availability, which is the fraction of time the system is working. It is calculated as MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR), where MTBF is the mean time between failures and MTTR is the mean time to repair. '''Security:''' A robot connected to a network can be attacked like any other computer. Good practice includes secure boot, signed firmware updates, encrypted communication, strong access control and giving each part only the permissions it needs. == Power Management == Power is one of the biggest limits in robot design, because more battery means more weight and more cost. * '''Batteries:''' Lithium io and LiPo packs stores a lot of energy for their weight. They need a battery management system (BMS) that balances the cells and guards against over voltage, under voltage and high temperature. * '''Regulators:''' Buck converts step the voltage down efficiently, while LDO regulators are quiet but waste the difference as heat. * '''Efficiency:''' The share of input power that reaches the load, calculated as η = P_out / P_in. * '''Low power techniques:''' Sleep modes, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, switching off sensors that are not in use, and efficient algorithms. * '''Dynamic power of a CPU:''' Roughly P = C x V² x f, so having the volatge cuts dynamic power to about a quarter. [[File:CPU Power saving.png|center|772x772px]] Chart 3, Lowering the voltage saves far more power than lowering the frequency alone, which is why dynamic voltage and frequency scaling is widely used. == Applications == {| class="wikitable" |+ !Domain !Example !Role of the Embedded System |- |Industry |Mobile robots and robotic arms |Motion control and safety |- |Logistics |Warehouse shuttles |Navigation and fleet communication |- |Agriculture |Autonomous tractors and harvesters |GNSS navigation and vision |- |Healthcare |Surgical and rehabilitation robots |Precise force and position control |- |Home |Robot vaccum cleaners |Low cost SLAM and cliff detection |- |Aerospace and defence |UAVs and planetary rovers |Flight control and radiation tolerant design |- |Underwater |Autonomous underwater vehicles |Low-power navigation and sealed electronics |- |Automotive |Self driving cars |Sensor fusion and ISO 26262 safety |} == Challenges and Future Trends == === Challenges: === # Strict limits on power, size, weight and cost. # Keeping timing guarantees while running heavy AI workloads. # Sensor noise, drift and failure in unpredictable surroundings. # Testing and certifying software that learns from data. # Protecting connected robots from cyber attacks. # Handling heat and keeping hardware reliable over many years. === Trends: === * Mixed SoCs that combine CPU, GPU, NPU and real time cores on one chip. * TinyML and neuromorphic chips for very low power intelligence. * Micro ROS and ROS2 bringing standard robot middleware to small MCUs. * Open hardware and simulation based testing. * Swarm robotics and fleets linked over 5G and 6G. * Secure over the air software updates. * Foundation models and vision language models that guide robot behaviour. == Summary == An Autonomous Robot is only as capable as the embedded system driving it. That system ties sensing, decision making and movement together in one fast, tightly timed loop. Getting it right means picking hardware that fits the job, writing software that responds predictably, using solid control and estimation maths, and building in safety, security and power efficiency from the start. == Review Questions == # Explain the difference between a microcontroller and a microprocessor.

It can also be described as a dedicated computer system, which has been developed to perform a particular set of tasks. But it is not our traditional computer system or general purpose computers. These are the Embedded systems that may work independently or attached to a larger system to work on a few specific functions. These embedded systems can work without human intervention or with little human intervention. '''Autonomous robots''', from warehouse carrier to mars rover, depends on a small computer hidden inside it. That computer reads sensors, make descisions and drives motors, usually many times per second and without a human in the loop. This computer is an embedded system. [[File:Autonomous robot.jpg|center|503x503px]] This chapter explains what Embedded systems are, how they are built into autonomous robots, which hardware and software they use, the mathematics behind their control and navigation, and where the field is heading. '''What to expect from this page:''' * Define Embedded System, Autonomous Robot, real time system and RTOS. * Express the Sense, Think, Act architecture of a robot. * Compare microcontrollers, microprocessors, DSPs, FPGAs, SoCs, and AI accelerators. * Explain common sensors, actuators and communication buses. * Apply the key formulas: PWM, ADC, resolution, encoder counts, differential-drive Kinematics, PID, Kalman filtering, and real time schedulability. * Describe safety, security and power constraints, and future trends. == Introduction to Embedded Systems in Autonomous Robotics: == '''Embedded Systems in Autonomous Robotics''' refer to the combination of dedicated computing hardware and specialized software integrated into robotic machines to perform sensing, data processing, decision making, communicatio, and motion control in real time. Envision a robot weaving its way through a busy room with obstacles and interferences, it spots those obstacles, and interferences, recognizes familiar objects, figures out where it is and chooses the safest route to its goal all on its own without anyone guiding it. Now the question that arises, How does a machine perform these activites without anyone controlling it manually? The brain behind this robots moving like a living organism, to have a mind of its own to think, analyze, and determine the right path towards its journey is the integration of Embedded systems, sensors, processors, control algorithms, and intelligent software. Modern autonomous robots are not simply mechanical structures equipped with motors. They are complex electronic systems capable of collecting information from their surrondings, processing that information in making decisions and performing physical actions. [[File:Visual robotics.jpg|right|606x606px]] An Autonomous robot continuously performs four fundamental operations: # Sensing: Collecting information from the environment using sensors embedded on the mechanical robot structure. # Processing: Analyzing the collected information using embedded processors. # Decision making: Selecting an appropriate action based on algorithms and environmental conditions from the set of available options on the field for the right course of goal. # Actuation: Executing the selected action through motors, servos, and other actuators. For example, consider an autonomous delivery robot operating inside a closed room with obstacles on ts path: * LIDAR sensor measures distances to its surrounding objects. * Depth cameras identify obstacles and environmental structures. * An embedded processor processes the sensor information. * Navigation algorithms calculate a safe path. * Motor contollers receive commands to move the wheels. * Feedback sensors continously monitor the robot's movement. === Beforehand we get in detail about Embedded systems in Autonomous Robotics there some terms we have to get familiar with, which are: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !S.NO !Terms !Definition |- |1. |Embedded Systems |A dedicated computing system built into a larger device to perform specific funtions, usually with real-time and resource constraints. |- |2. |Robot |A programmable machine that senses its environment and acts on it through actuators. |- |3. |Autonomous Robot |A robot that performs tasks and makes decisions in an unstructured environment without continuos human control. |- |4. |Microcontroller (MCU) |A single chip containing a CPU, memory and peripherals (timers, ADC, URAT, etc.). |- |5. |Microprocessor (MPU) |A CPU that needs external memory and peripherals, run full operating system such as Linux. |- |6. |Firmware |Software stored in no-volatile memory that runs directly on the embedded hardware. |- |7. |Real Time System |A system whose correctness depends on both the result and the time at which it is produced. |- |8. |Hard real-Time |Missing a deadline is a system failure (eg: airbag, motor current loop). |- |9. |Soft real-time |Missing a deadline degrades quality but is tolerable (eg: video streaming). |- |10. |RTOS |A real-time operating system that guarantees bounded, predictable task response. |- |11. |Latency |Delay between an event (sensor change) and the system response. |- |12. |Jitter |The small variation in timing of a task that is supposed to repeat at exact intervals. |- |13. |Actuator |A device that converts energy and control signals into physical motion. |- |14. |SLAM |Simultaneous Localization and Mapping: building a map while tracking position inside it. |- |15. |Degrees of freedom (DOF) |The number of independent, individual movements or parameters a robot joint or end effector can make in sppace. |} ====== If a question arises that, Why do we have to use Embedded Systems instead of a general PC? ====== To answer this primarily we need to understand that Robots need low power, small size, low cost, deterministic timing and direct hardware access. A desktop OS cannot guarantee that a motor control loop runs every 1ms, an embedded controller with an RTOS can meet these requirements of cost cutting. ===== Relationship between Embedded Systems and Robotics: ===== {| class="wikitable" |+ !Embedded Systems !Autonomous Robotics |- |Process sensor inputs |Understand the environment |- |Execute firmware |Perform robotic tasks |- |Control electronic hardware |Control movement and interaction |- |Manage communication |Coordinate robotic subsystems |- |Handle real time operations |Respond to environmental changes |} Embedded systems provide the computational intelligence that allows a robot to transform sensor information into physical actions. === The Sense, Think, Act Architecture: === Almost every autonomous robot works in a repeating cycle. It first senses the world (its surroundings), then thinks about what it found on its path and finally analizes and acts upon it accordingly through follow the right course. [[File:Sense-Think Act.jpg|center]] The controller is the core of everything. Signals from the sensors is filtered and converted into numbers, which are further processed by the controller in three stages, and the ouput leaves in the form of power signals for the motors. The motors affect the environment, the sensors detect the changes, and the cycle begins again. === The layered view: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Layer !Typical rate !Typical Hardware !Example task |- |Reactive (low level) |1-20 KHz |MCU |Motor current loop, reading encoders. |- |Control |100Hz - 1KHz |MCU with an RTOS |Wheel speed PID, balance control. |- |Perception |10-60Hz |SoC, GPU or NPU |Object detection, SLAM. |- |Planning and mission |1-10Hz |Application processor |Path planing, behaviour logic. |- |Cloud and fleet |seconds or more |Remote Server |Fleet management, map sharing. |} == Hardware of the Robot Brain: == The hardware of a robot brain is a mix of processor, memory, sensors, actuators and the circuits that connect them. Each part is chosen to match the speed, power and cost that needs of that job. # '''Processing Platforms:''' No single chip is best for every task, so robots often combine several type of chips whose performace varies on the task it is performing. A small MCU handles fast motor control. while a stronger processor or an AI chip handles vision and planning. {| class="wikitable" |+ !Platform !Strengths !Weaknesses !Typical robot use |- |MCU (ARM Cortex-M, AVR, ESP32) |Low power, low cost, predictable timing, many built-in peripherals. |Limited speed and memory. |Motor control, reading sensors. |- |MPU or application processor (ARM Cortex-A) |Runs Linux, plenty of memory |Less predictable timing, uses more power. |High level planning, ROS2. |- |DSP (Digital Signal Processing) |Very fast at repeated multiply and add maths |Narrow range of uses. |Filtering, audio, radar. |- |FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) |Does many things in parallel, very low delay. |Harder to program |Camera pipelines, fast motor loops. |- |GPU, NPU or TPU |Runs neural networks quickly. |High power use. |Object detection, perception. |- |SoC (system on chip) |Puts CPU, GPU and NPU on one chip. |Complex and costly |Modern autonomous platforms. |} === Inside a microcontroller: === A Microcontroller is a complete small computer on one chip. Basically the microcontroller consists of a processor, pheripherals, and specified I/O pins on one single board. The CPU, the memory and all the peripherals are joined by one internal bus, so any of them can exchange data. [[File:Internal structure of MCU.png|left|542x542px]] ===== Simplified internal strcture of an MCU: ===== Key peripherals # '''Timers and PWM:''' Produce precise pulses to control motor speed or servo angle. # '''ADC (Analog to Digital converter):''' Turns a sensor's changing voltage continuous signal into binary form so that the CPU can analyze. # '''DMA (Direct Memory Access):''' Moves data around without using the CPU, which leaves more time for control code. # '''Interrupt Controller:''' Lets urgent events, such as an encoder pulse or an emergency stop, pause normal code immediately. === Memory Types: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Memory''' !Keeps data without Power? !Use in robotics |- |Flash |Yes |Firmware and Calibration data |- |SRAM |No |Variables, stacks and buffers |- |DRAM |No |Large buffers such as images and maps (on MPU or SoC) |- |EEPROM or FRAM |Yes |Settings and logs |} === Sensors: === Sensors are the robot's senses. Some measure the robot itself (its wheel turns and tilt), and others measure the surrondings around it (distance and images). {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Sensor''' !What it measures !How it works !Typical output |- |Rotary encoder |Wheel or joint angle and speed |Optical or magnetic pulses |Digital pulses |- |IMU (Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer) |Acceleration, turn rate and heading |Tiny MEMS structures |I2C or SPI digital data |- |Ultrasonic |Distance, from centimetres to metres |Time taken by a sound echo |Pulse width |- |Infrared or time of flight |Short range distance |Reflected light |Analog voltage or I2C |- |LiDAR |Distance scan, 2D or 3D point cloud |Time taken by laser light to return |UART or Ethernet |- |Camera |Images |CMOS image sensor |MIPI or USB |- |GPS / GNSS |Position on Earth |Timing signals from staellites |UART (NMEA text) |- |Current sensor |Motor current |Hall effect or shunt resistor |Analog voltage |- |Force or torque sensor |Contact forces |Strain gauge |Analog voltage |} === Acutators and motor drives: === Actuators make the robot move. The embedded controller cannot power a motor directly, because its pins supply only a tiny current. A motor driver sits in between and switches the larger motor current on command. {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Actuator''' !Main features !Typical use |- |Brushed DC motor |Simple and Cheap |Small wheeled robots |- |Brushless DC (BLDC) motor |Efficient and long lasting, needs a special controller |Drones, wheel hub motors |- |Stepper motor |Moves in fixed steps, position without feedback |3D printers, simple arms |- |Servo motor |Has a built in position control loop |Hobby arms, grippers |- |Linear actuator |Moves in a straight line |lifting mechanisms |- |Pneumatic or hydraulic |Very high force |Industrial and heavy robots |} A common motor driver for DC motors is the H-bridge. It uses four switches arranged like the letter H, with motor in the middle. By closing a different pair of switches, the contoller can reverse the motor, brake it or let it spin freely. Figure 3 shows the idea. [[File:H bridge motor drive.png|center|539x539px]] == Software of the Robot Brain == Hardware alone does nothing. The software tells the processor how to read the sensors input, make decisions based on those inputs and drive the motors. In a robot, this software is arranged in layers, So each layer can be built and tested on its own. === The Software Stack: === At the bottom is the hardware, and just above it sits the code that hides hardware details from the rest of system. The operating system then shares the processor between tasks, and the higher layers hold the algorithms and the robot's overall mission [[File:Software stack.png|center|555x555px]] === Programming Languages: === * C and C++: The most common choices for firmware and real-time code, because they give direct control over memory and hardware. * Python: Often used for high-level logic, quick prototypes and AI tools. * Rust: A newer language that is growing in popularity because it prevents many memory errors. * VHDL and Verilog: Languages that decribe the circuits inside an FPGA. * MATLAB and Simulink: Used for model-based design, and they can generate C code automatically. === RTOS concepts: === An RTOS splits the software into separate tasks, which are small programs that run side by side. A scheduler decides which task gets the processor at any moment, and it always favours the most priority one. {| class="wikitable" |+ |Concept |Meaning |- |Task |An independent piece of code with its own stack of memory. |- |Priority |An indication concept showing how urgent a task is, where a higher priority runs first. |- |Preemption |Pausing a running task so a more urgent one can start. |- |Semaphore or Mutex |A lock that lets tasks take turns using a shared resource. |- |Queue |A safe way to pass data between tasks or from an interrupt. |- |ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) |A short piece of code that runs the moment a hardware event happens. |- |Priority Inversion |A low-priority task blocks a high-priority one,which is fixerd priority inheritance. |} === Typical Frimware Flow: === Most robot frimware follows the same pattern. It starts up, checks itself, and then repeats a loop of reading, deciding and acting. A timer interrupt runs the fast control loop at a fixed rate while the main loop handles slower work. If a fault is found at any time, the robot moves to safe state and stops the motors. [[File:Robot Firmware.png|center|681x681px]] == Essential Formulas == This section collects the formulas that embedded robotics designers use most often. Each one is explained in words and followed by a small worked example, so the maths can be checked by hand. === PWM (Pules Width Modulation) (motor speed control): === Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switches the supply on and off very quickly. The longer the supply stays on in each cycle, the higher the average voltage the motor receives, and the faster it turns. * <math>\begin{aligned} D &= \frac{T_{on}}{T_{period}} \\ V_{avg} &= D \times V_{supply} \\ f_{PWM} &= \frac{1}{T_{period}} \end{aligned}</math> Here D is the Duty Cycle, which is the fraction of each period that signal is on. For instance: with a 12v supply and a 60% duty cycle, V_avg =0.6 x 12 = 7.2V. === ADC resolution: === An ADC with N bits splits its reference voltage into 2^N equal steps. The size of one step is called the LSB, and it sets the smallest change the robot can detect. * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{LSB} &= \frac{V_{ref}}{2^{N}} \\ \text{Digital value} &= \frac{V_{in}}{V_{ref}} \times (2^{N}-1) \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12 bit ADC with V_ref = 3.3V has a step of 3.3 / 4096 ≈ 0.806mV. === Encoder measurements: === An encoder produces a fixed number of pulses for each turn of the wheel, called PPR (pulses per revolution). A quadrate encoder has two signals, so the controller can count four edges per pulse. This gives CPR, the counts per revolution. * <math>\begin{aligned} CPR &= PPR \times 4 \\ \text{Wheel speed (rev/s)} &= \frac{\Delta \text{counts}}{CPR \times \Delta t} \\ \text{Distance} &= \frac{\text{counts}}{CPR} \times 2\pi r \end{aligned}</math> Example: With PPR = 500, CPR = 2000. For a wheel of radius 5 cm, 2000 counts mean one full turn, which is 2π(0.05) ≈ 0.314m of travel. === Ultrasonic and time of flight distance: === These sensors send out a pulse and time how long the echo takes to return. Pulse travels to the object and back, so the result is divided by two. * <math>\begin{aligned} d &= \frac{v \times t}{2} \\ v_{sound} &\approx 331.3 + 0.606\,T \ \text{m/s} \\ d_{LiDAR} &= \frac{c \times t}{2}, \quad c = 3\times10^{8}\ \text{m/s} \end{aligned}</math> In these formulas T is the air temperatur in degree centigrade and c is the speed of light. === Differential drive kinematics: === Many small robots have two driven wheels on either side. Steering is done by running the wheels at different speeds. Let r be the wheel radius, L the distance between the wheels, and ωR and ωL the wheel speeds. [[File:Differential Drive.png|right|460x460px]] The forward speed V and the robot's turn rate ω follow from the two wheels speeds: * <math>\begin{aligned} v &= \frac{r(\omega_R + \omega_L)}{2} \\ \omega &= \frac{r(\omega_R - \omega_L)}{L} \end{aligned}</math> The controller updates the pose in small time steps Δt. This method is called odometry: * <math>\begin{aligned} x_{new} &= x + v\cos\theta\,\Delta t \\ y_{new} &= y + v\sin\theta\,\Delta t \\ \theta_{new} &= \theta + \omega\,\Delta t \end{aligned}</math> Going the other way, the wheel speeds needed for a wanted speed V and turn rate ω are: * <math>\begin{aligned} \omega_R &= \frac{2v + \omega L}{2r} \\ \omega_L &= \frac{2v - \omega L}{2r} \end{aligned}</math> === PID control: === A PID controller is the mot common way to hold a value, such as wheel speed, at a target. It looks at the error e, which is the setpoint minus the measured value, and combines three parts. the P part reacts to the present error, the I part adds up past error, and the D part reacts to how fasst the error changing. * <math>\begin{aligned} u(t) &= K_p\,e(t) + K_i \int e(t)\,dt + K_d \frac{de(t)}{dt} \\ u[k] &= K_p\,e[k] + K_i\,T \sum_{i} e[i] + K_d\,\frac{e[k]-e[k-1]}{T} \end{aligned}</math> The second line is the discrete form that firmware actually runs, where T is the sample time. [[File:PID controller.png|left|525x525px]] {| class="wikitable" |+ !Gain !What happens when it is increased |- |Kp |Faster response, but more overshoot and possible oscillation |- |ki |Removes the leftover steady error, but can cause windup |- |Kd |Adds damping and reduces overshoot, but amplifies noise |} Anti windup: When the output is already at its limit, the integral part keeps growing and later causes a large overshoot. To prevent this, the integral is clamped or paused while the output is saturated. === Sensor fusion: === Every sensor has weaknesses. A gyroscope is smooth but drifts over time, while an accelerometer is noisy but does not drift. Sensor fusion combines them to get a better estimate than either could give alone. The complementary filter is the simplest method. It trusts the gyroscope for quick changes and the accelerometer for the long term average: * <math>\theta_{est} = \alpha\,(\theta_{est} + \omega_{gyro}\,\Delta t) + (1-\alpha)\,\theta_{accel}, \quad \alpha \approx 0.95 \text{ to } 0.99</math> The Kalman filter is a more powerful method that gives the best estimate for linear systems with Gaussain noise. It repeats two steps, predict and update: * <math>\begin{aligned} \hat{x}^- &= A\hat{x} + Bu \\ P^- &= A P A^{T} + Q \\ K &= P^- H^{T}\,(H P^- H^{T} + R)^{-1} \\ \hat{x} &= \hat{x}^- + K\,(z - H\hat{x}^-) \\ P &= (I - KH)\,P^- \end{aligned}</math> Here x is the state, P is the uncertainty, Q is the process noise, R is the measurement noise, Z is the new measurement and K is the Kalman gain. For nonlinear systems, robots use the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) or particle filters. === Path Planning with A*: === A* finds the cheapest route across a map. For each location n it adds the cost already spent, g(n), to a guess of the cost still to come, h(n), and always explores the lowest total first. * <math>\begin{aligned} f(n) &= g(n) + h(n) \\ h_{Euclid} &= \sqrt{(x_g-x_n)^2 + (y_g-y_n)^2} \\ h_{Manhattan} &= |x_g-x_n| + |y_g-y_n| \end{aligned}</math> A* gives the best path as long as h never overestimates the real remaining cost. Such a guess is called admissible. === Real time schedulability: === Before a design is accepted, its designer must check that every periodic task can meet its deadline. For n tasks with run time C_i and period T_i, tje CPU utilization is the sum of C_i / T_i. Rate Monotonic (RM) scheduling gives fixed priority to the tasks with the shortest periods. Earliest Deadline First (EDF) always runs the task whose deadline is closest. * <math>\begin{aligned} U &= \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{C_i}{T_i} \\ U_{RM} &\le n\left(2^{1/n}-1\right) \\ U_{EDF} &\le 1 \end{aligned}</math> Example: Take three tasks with (C = 1ms, T = 5ms), (C = 2ms, T = 10ms) and (C = 3ms, T = 20ms). Then U = 0.20 + 0.20 +0.15 =0.55. The RM bound for three tasks is 0.78, so the task set is schedulable. [[File:RM CPU.png|center|815x815px]] Chart 1, with three tasks the RM guarantee is 78.0%, so the 55% example above passes easily. EDF accepts any setup to 100%. === Power and battery: === The battery size decides how long the robot can work. Energy is voltage time capacity, and runtime is the usable capacity divided by the average current. * <math>\begin{aligned} P &= V \times I \\ E_{Wh} &= V \times Ah \\ \text{Runtime (h)} &= \frac{\text{capacity (Ah)} \times \text{usable fraction}}{\text{average current (A)}} \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12V, 5 Ah pack with 80% usable capacity and a 2 A average load runs for 5 x 0.8/2 = 2hours. [[File:Battery runtime vs average current draw.png|center|779x779px]] Chart 2, Only loads of 1A or less meet a 4 hour runtime target on this pack. === Control Loop timing budget: === A control loop must finish its work before the next cycle begins. The worst case execution time (WCET) must therefore stay below the loop period, and the total delay from sensor to actuator should be kept small. * <math>\begin{aligned} T &= \frac{1}{f_{loop}} \\ WCET &< T \\ t_{latency} &= t_{sense} + t_{compute} + t_{comm} + t_{actuate} \end{aligned}</math> == Preception and Edge AI == Modern robots run machine learning models directly on their own hardware, this is called Edge AI. It avoids the delay of sending data to a remote server, and it keeps working when the network connection is lost. A typical perception pipeline starts with raw sensor data and ends with a controller command. Each step prepares the data for the next one. [[File:PERCEPTION TO ACTION PIPELINE.png|center|727x727px]] The main techniques used in this process are: * Object detection and segmentation with convolutional neural networks, which find and outline object in images. * Visual odometry and SLAM, which estimate the robot's movement and build a map. * Sensor fusion of camera, LiDAR, radar and IMU data, so that one failing sensor does not blind the robot. * Model optimization for small hardware, using quantization (replacing 32-bit decimals with 8-bit integers),pruning (removing unneeded connections) and distillation (training a small model to copy a large one). Two simple measures help compare AI chips: * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{FPS} &= \frac{1}{\text{latency}} \\ \text{Efficiency} &= \frac{\text{TOPS}}{\text{Watt}} \end{aligned}</math> FPS is the number of frames processed each second, and TOPS means trillions of operations per second. == Navigation and Decision Making == Navigation answers three questions: where is the robot, where should it go, and how can it get there without hitting anything. === The navigation stack: === Navigation software is usually split into global planner, which finds a route across the whole map, and a local planner, which adjusts the path in real time around nearby obstacles. Both depend on an up to date obstacle map, called a costmap. [[File:Navigation Stack.png|center|634x634px]] === Obstacle avoidance decision flow: === The simplest form of avoidance is reactive. The robot reads its distance sensors, checks the way ahead, and only changes direction if something is too close. [[File:Obstacle Avoidance.png|center|798x798px]] === Behaviour approaches: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Approach !Main idea !Advantages !Disadvantages |- |Reactive |Sensor readings directly trigger actions |Fast and simple |No long term planning |- |Deliberative |Plan from a model of the world |Finds good paths |Slow and depends on the model |- |Hybrid |Reactive base with a planner above it |A good balance |More complex |- |Behaviour trees and state machines |Organized task logic |Easy to read and reuse |Needs carful design |- |Learning based |A policy learned from data |Handles complex situations |Hard to verify |} == Safety, Reliability, and Security == A robot that moves in the real worls can hurt people or damge property in case malfunction of that robot, so safety is the most priorty given in part of design of robot since day one. Several international standards guide this work: * IEC 61508 (general functional safety), * ISO 13849 and ISO 10218 (machinery and industrial robots), * ISO 26262 (road vehicles) and * ISO 13482 (personal care robots). {| class="wikitable" |+ !Technique !Purpose |- |Watchdog timers |Restart the system if the software locks up |- |Emergency stop (E-Stop) |Cut power to the actuators using hardware alone |- |Redundancy (two sensors or two processors) |Keep working safely after a single failure |- |Fail Safe state |Move to a harmless condition, usually stopped, when a fault appears |- |Memory protection (MPU) |Stop a faullty task from damaging other tasks |- |Self test and diagnostics |Find faults early, before they cause harm |- |Over current and over temperature protection |Protect motors and batteries from damage |} '''Realiability:''' A common measure is availability, which is the fraction of time the system is working. It is calculated as MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR), where MTBF is the mean time between failures and MTTR is the mean time to repair. '''Security:''' A robot connected to a network can be attacked like any other computer. Good practice includes secure boot, signed firmware updates, encrypted communication, strong access control and giving each part only the permissions it needs. == Power Management == Power is one of the biggest limits in robot design, because more battery means more weight and more cost. * '''Batteries:''' Lithium io and LiPo packs stores a lot of energy for their weight. They need a battery management system (BMS) that balances the cells and guards against over voltage, under voltage and high temperature. * '''Regulators:''' Buck converts step the voltage down efficiently, while LDO regulators are quiet but waste the difference as heat. * '''Efficiency:''' The share of input power that reaches the load, calculated as η = P_out / P_in. * '''Low power techniques:''' Sleep modes, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, switching off sensors that are not in use, and efficient algorithms. * '''Dynamic power of a CPU:''' Roughly P = C x V² x f, so having the volatge cuts dynamic power to about a quarter. [[File:CPU Power saving.png|center|772x772px]] Chart 3, Lowering the voltage saves far more power than lowering the frequency alone, which is why dynamic voltage and frequency scaling is widely used. == Applications == {| class="wikitable" |+ !Domain !Example !Role of the Embedded System |- |Industry |Mobile robots and robotic arms |Motion control and safety |- |Logistics |Warehouse shuttles |Navigation and fleet communication |- |Agriculture |Autonomous tractors and harvesters |GNSS navigation and vision |- |Healthcare |Surgical and rehabilitation robots |Precise force and position control |- |Home |Robot vaccum cleaners |Low cost SLAM and cliff detection |- |Aerospace and defence |UAVs and planetary rovers |Flight control and radiation tolerant design |- |Underwater |Autonomous underwater vehicles |Low-power navigation and sealed electronics |- |Automotive |Self driving cars |Sensor fusion and ISO 26262 safety |} == Challenges and Future Trends == === Challenges: === # Strict limits on power, size, weight and cost. # Keeping timing guarantees while running heavy AI workloads. # Sensor noise, drift and failure in unpredictable surroundings. # Testing and certifying software that learns from data. # Protecting connected robots from cyber attacks. # Handling heat and keeping hardware reliable over many years. === Trends: === * Mixed SoCs that combine CPU, GPU, NPU and real time cores on one chip. * TinyML and neuromorphic chips for very low power intelligence. * Micro ROS and ROS2 bringing standard robot middleware to small MCUs. * Open hardware and simulation based testing. * Swarm robotics and fleets linked over 5G and 6G. * Secure over the air software updates. * Foundation models and vision language models that guide robot behaviour. == Summary == An Autonomous Robot is only as capable as the embedded system driving it. That system ties sensing, decision making and movement together in one fast, tightly timed loop. Getting it right means picking hardware that fits the job, writing software that responds predictably, using solid control and estimation maths, and building in safety, security and power efficiency from the start. == Review Questions == # Explain the difference between a microcontroller and a microprocessor.

It can also be described as a dedicated computer system, which has been developed to perform a particular set of tasks. But it is not our traditional computer system or general purpose computers. These are the Embedded systems that may work independently or attached to a larger system to work on a few specific functions. These embedded systems can work without human intervention or with little human intervention. '''Autonomous robots''', from warehouse carrier to mars rover, depends on a small computer hidden inside it. That computer reads sensors, make decisions and drives motors, usually many times per second and without a human in the loop. This computer is an embedded system. [[File:Autonomous robot.jpg|center|503x503px]] This chapter explains what Embedded systems are, how they are built into autonomous robots, which hardware and software they use, the mathematics behind their control and navigation, and where the field is heading. '''What to expect from this page:''' * Define Embedded System, Autonomous Robot, real time system and RTOS. * Express the Sense, Think, Act architecture of a robot. * Compare microcontrollers, microprocessors, DSPs, FPGAs, SoCs, and AI accelerators. * Explain common sensors, actuators and communication buses. * Apply the key formulas: PWM, ADC, resolution, encoder counts, differential-drive Kinematics, PID, Kalman filtering, and real time schedulability. * Describe safety, security and power constraints, and future trends. == Introduction to Embedded Systems in Autonomous Robotics: == '''Embedded Systems in Autonomous Robotics''' refer to the combination of dedicated computing hardware and specialized software integrated into robotic machines to perform sensing, data processing, decision making, communication, and motion control in real time. Envision a robot weaving its way through a busy room with obstacles and interferences, it spots those obstacles, and interferences, recognizes familiar objects, figures out where it is and chooses the safest route to its goal all on its own without anyone guiding it. Now the question that arises, How does a machine perform these activities without anyone controlling it manually? The brain behind this robots moving like a living organism, to have a mind of its own to think, analyze, and determine the right path towards its journey is the integration of Embedded systems, sensors, processors, control algorithms, and intelligent software. Modern autonomous robots are not simply mechanical structures equipped with motors. They are complex electronic systems capable of collecting information from their surroundings, processing that information in making decisions and performing physical actions. [[File:Visual robotics.jpg|right|606x606px]] An Autonomous robot continuously performs four fundamental operations: # Sensing: Collecting information from the environment using sensors embedded on the mechanical robot structure. # Processing: Analyzing the collected information using embedded processors. # Decision making: Selecting an appropriate action based on algorithms and environmental conditions from the set of available options on the field for the right course of goal. # Actuation: Executing the selected action through motors, servos, and other actuators. For example, consider an autonomous delivery robot operating inside a closed room with obstacles on its path: * LIDAR sensor measures distances to its surrounding objects. * Depth cameras identify obstacles and environmental structures. * An embedded processor processes the sensor information. * Navigation algorithms calculate a safe path. * Motor controllers receive commands to move the wheels. * Feedback sensors continuously monitor the robot's movement. === Beforehand we get in detail about Embedded systems in Autonomous Robotics there some terms we have to get familiar with, which are: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !S.NO !Terms !Definition |- |1. |Embedded Systems |A dedicated computing system built into a larger device to perform specific functions, usually with real-time and resource constraints. |- |2. |Robot |A programmable machine that senses its environment and acts on it through actuators. |- |3. |Autonomous Robot |A robot that performs tasks and makes decisions in an unstructured environment without continuous human control. |- |4. |Microcontroller (MCU) |A single chip containing a CPU, memory and peripherals (timers, ADC, URAT, etc.). |- |5. |Microprocessor (MPU) |A CPU that needs external memory and peripherals, run full operating system such as Linux. |- |6. |Firmware |Software stored in non-volatile memory that runs directly on the embedded hardware. |- |7. |Real Time System |A system whose correctness depends on both the result and the time at which it is produced. |- |8. |Hard real-Time |Missing a deadline is a system failure (eg: airbag, motor current loop). |- |9. |Soft real-time |Missing a deadline degrades quality but is tolerable (eg: video streaming). |- |10. |RTOS |A real-time operating system that guarantees bounded, predictable task response. |- |11. |Latency |Delay between an event (sensor change) and the system response. |- |12. |Jitter |The small variation in timing of a task that is supposed to repeat at exact intervals. |- |13. |Actuator |A device that converts energy and control signals into physical motion. |- |14. |SLAM |Simultaneous Localization and Mapping: building a map while tracking position inside it. |- |15. |Degrees of freedom (DOF) |The number of independent, individual movements or parameters a robot joint or end effector can make in space. |} ====== If a question arises that, Why do we have to use Embedded Systems instead of a general PC? ====== To answer this primarily we need to understand that Robots need low power, small size, low cost, deterministic timing and direct hardware access. A desktop OS cannot guarantee that a motor control loop runs every 1ms, an embedded controller with an RTOS can meet these requirements of cost cutting. ===== Relationship between Embedded Systems and Robotics: ===== {| class="wikitable" |+ !Embedded Systems !Autonomous Robotics |- |Process sensor inputs |Understand the environment |- |Execute firmware |Perform robotic tasks |- |Control electronic hardware |Control movement and interaction |- |Manage communication |Coordinate robotic subsystems |- |Handle real time operations |Respond to environmental changes |} Embedded systems provide the computational intelligence that allows a robot to transform sensor information into physical actions. === The Sense, Think, Act Architecture: === Almost every autonomous robot works in a repeating cycle. It first senses the world (its surroundings), then thinks about what it found on its path and finally analyzes and acts upon it accordingly through follow the right course. [[File:Sense-Think Act.jpg|center]] The controller is the core of everything. Signals from the sensors is filtered and converted into numbers, which are further processed by the controller in three stages, and the output leaves in the form of power signals for the motors. The motors affect the environment, the sensors detect the changes, and the cycle begins again. === The layered view: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Layer !Typical rate !Typical Hardware !Example task |- |Reactive (low level) |1-20 KHz |MCU |Motor current loop, reading encoders. |- |Control |100Hz - 1KHz |MCU with an RTOS |Wheel speed PID, balance control. |- |Perception |10-60Hz |SoC, GPU or NPU |Object detection, SLAM. |- |Planning and mission |1-10Hz |Application processor |Path planning, behaviour logic. |- |Cloud and fleet |seconds or more |Remote Server |Fleet management, map sharing. |} == Hardware of the Robot Brain: == The hardware of a robot brain is a mix of processor, memory, sensors, actuators and the circuits that connect them. Each part is chosen to match the speed, power and cost that needs of that job. # '''Processing Platforms:''' No single chip is best for every task, so robots often combine several type of chips whose performance varies on the task it is performing. A small MCU handles fast motor control. while a stronger processor or an AI chip handles vision and planning. {| class="wikitable" |+ !Platform !Strengths !Weaknesses !Typical robot use |- |MCU (ARM Cortex-M, AVR, ESP32) |Low power, low cost, predictable timing, many built-in peripherals. |Limited speed and memory. |Motor control, reading sensors. |- |MPU or application processor (ARM Cortex-A) |Runs Linux, plenty of memory |Less predictable timing, uses more power. |High level planning, ROS2. |- |DSP (Digital Signal Processing) |Very fast at repeated multiply and add maths |Narrow range of uses. |Filtering, audio, radar. |- |FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) |Does many things in parallel, very low delay. |Harder to program |Camera pipelines, fast motor loops. |- |GPU, NPU or TPU |Runs neural networks quickly. |High power use. |Object detection, perception. |- |SoC (system on chip) |Puts CPU, GPU and NPU on one chip. |Complex and costly |Modern autonomous platforms. |} === Inside a microcontroller: === A Microcontroller is a complete small computer on one chip. Basically the microcontroller consists of a processor, peripherals, and specified I/O pins on one single board. The CPU, the memory and all the peripherals are joined by one internal bus, so any of them can exchange data. [[File:Internal structure of MCU.png|left|542x542px]] ===== Simplified internal structure of an MCU: ===== Key peripherals # '''Timers and PWM:''' Produce precise pulses to control motor speed or servo angle. # '''ADC (Analog to Digital converter):''' Turns a sensor's changing voltage continuous signal into binary form so that the CPU can analyze. # '''DMA (Direct Memory Access):''' Moves data around without using the CPU, which leaves more time for control code. # '''Interrupt Controller:''' Lets urgent events, such as an encoder pulse or an emergency stop, pause normal code immediately. === Memory Types: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Memory''' !Keeps data without Power? !Use in robotics |- |Flash |Yes |Firmware and Calibration data |- |SRAM |No |Variables, stacks and buffers |- |DRAM |No |Large buffers such as images and maps (on MPU or SoC) |- |EEPROM or FRAM |Yes |Settings and logs |} === Sensors: === Sensors are the robot's senses. Some measure the robot itself (its wheel turns and tilt), and others measure the surroundings around it (distance and images). {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Sensor''' !What it measures !How it works !Typical output |- |Rotary encoder |Wheel or joint angle and speed |Optical or magnetic pulses |Digital pulses |- |IMU (Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer) |Acceleration, turn rate and heading |Tiny MEMS structures |I2C or SPI digital data |- |Ultrasonic |Distance, from centimetres to metres |Time taken by a sound echo |Pulse width |- |Infrared or time of flight |Short range distance |Reflected light |Analog voltage or I2C |- |LiDAR |Distance scan, 2D or 3D point cloud |Time taken by laser light to return |UART or Ethernet |- |Camera |Images |CMOS image sensor |MIPI or USB |- |GPS / GNSS |Position on Earth |Timing signals from satellites |UART (NMEA text) |- |Current sensor |Motor current |Hall effect or shunt resistor |Analog voltage |- |Force or torque sensor |Contact forces |Strain gauge |Analog voltage |} === actuators and motor drives: === Actuators make the robot move. The embedded controller cannot power a motor directly, because its pins supply only a tiny current. A motor driver sits in between and switches the larger motor current on command. {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Actuator''' !Main features !Typical use |- |Brushed DC motor |Simple and Cheap |Small wheeled robots |- |Brushless DC (BLDC) motor |Efficient and long lasting, needs a special controller |Drones, wheel hub motors |- |Stepper motor |Moves in fixed steps, position without feedback |3D printers, simple arms |- |Servo motor |Has a built in position control loop |Hobby arms, grippers |- |Linear actuator |Moves in a straight line |lifting mechanisms |- |Pneumatic or hydraulic |Very high force |Industrial and heavy robots |} A common motor driver for DC motors is the H-bridge. It uses four switches arranged like the letter H, with motor in the middle. By closing a different pair of switches, the controller can reverse the motor, brake it or let it spin freely. Figure 3 shows the idea. [[File:H bridge motor drive.png|center|539x539px]] == Software of the Robot Brain == Hardware alone does nothing. The software tells the processor how to read the sensors input, make decisions based on those inputs and drive the motors. In a robot, this software is arranged in layers, So each layer can be built and tested on its own. === The Software Stack: === At the bottom is the hardware, and just above it sits the code that hides hardware details from the rest of system. The operating system then shares the processor between tasks, and the higher layers hold the algorithms and the robot's overall mission [[File:Software stack.png|center|555x555px]] === Programming Languages: === * C and C++: The most common choices for firmware and real-time code, because they give direct control over memory and hardware. * Python: Often used for high-level logic, quick prototypes and AI tools. * Rust: A newer language that is growing in popularity because it prevents many memory errors. * VHDL and Verilog: Languages that describe the circuits inside an FPGA. * MATLAB and Simulink: Used for model-based design, and they can generate C code automatically. === RTOS concepts: === An RTOS splits the software into separate tasks, which are small programs that run side by side. A scheduler decides which task gets the processor at any moment, and it always favours the most priority one. {| class="wikitable" |+ |Concept |Meaning |- |Task |An independent piece of code with its own stack of memory. |- |Priority |An indication concept showing how urgent a task is, where a higher priority runs first. |- |Preemption |Pausing a running task so a more urgent one can start. |- |Semaphore or Mutex |A lock that lets tasks take turns using a shared resource. |- |Queue |A safe way to pass data between tasks or from an interrupt. |- |ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) |A short piece of code that runs the moment a hardware event happens. |- |Priority Inversion |A low-priority task blocks a high-priority one,which is fixed priority inheritance. |} === Typical firmware Flow: === Most robot firmware follows the same pattern. It starts up, checks itself, and then repeats a loop of reading, deciding and acting. A timer interrupt runs the fast control loop at a fixed rate while the main loop handles slower work. If a fault is found at any time, the robot moves to safe state and stops the motors. [[File:Robot Firmware.png|center|681x681px]] == Essential Formulas == This section collects the formulas that embedded robotics designers use most often. Each one is explained in words and followed by a small worked example, so the maths can be checked by hand. === PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) (motor speed control): === Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switches the supply on and off very quickly. The longer the supply stays on in each cycle, the higher the average voltage the motor receives, and the faster it turns. * <math>\begin{aligned} D &= \frac{T_{on}}{T_{period}} \\ V_{avg} &= D \times V_{supply} \\ f_{PWM} &= \frac{1}{T_{period}} \end{aligned}</math> Here D is the Duty Cycle, which is the fraction of each period that signal is on. For instance: with a 12v supply and a 60% duty cycle, V_avg =0.6 x 12 = 7.2V. === ADC resolution: === An ADC with N bits splits its reference voltage into 2^N equal steps. The size of one step is called the LSB, and it sets the smallest change the robot can detect. * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{LSB} &= \frac{V_{ref}}{2^{N}} \\ \text{Digital value} &= \frac{V_{in}}{V_{ref}} \times (2^{N}-1) \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12 bit ADC with V_ref = 3.3V has a step of 3.3 / 4096 ≈ 0.806mV. === Encoder measurements: === An encoder produces a fixed number of pulses for each turn of the wheel, called PPR (pulses per revolution). A quadrate encoder has two signals, so the controller can count four edges per pulse. This gives CPR, the counts per revolution. * <math>\begin{aligned} CPR &= PPR \times 4 \\ \text{Wheel speed (rev/s)} &= \frac{\Delta \text{counts}}{CPR \times \Delta t} \\ \text{Distance} &= \frac{\text{counts}}{CPR} \times 2\pi r \end{aligned}</math> Example: With PPR = 500, CPR = 2000. For a wheel of radius 5 cm, 2000 counts mean one full turn, which is 2π(0.05) ≈ 0.314m of travel. === Ultrasonic and time of flight distance: === These sensors send out a pulse and time how long the echo takes to return. Pulse travels to the object and back, so the result is divided by two. * <math>\begin{aligned} d &= \frac{v \times t}{2} \\ v_{sound} &\approx 331.3 + 0.606\,T \ \text{m/s} \\ d_{LiDAR} &= \frac{c \times t}{2}, \quad c = 3\times10^{8}\ \text{m/s} \end{aligned}</math> In these formulas T is the air temperature in degree centigrade and c is the speed of light. === Differential drive kinematics: === Many small robots have two driven wheels on either side. Steering is done by running the wheels at different speeds. Let r be the wheel radius, L the distance between the wheels, and ωR and ωL the wheel speeds. [[File:Differential Drive.png|right|460x460px]] The forward speed V and the robot's turn rate ω follow from the two wheels speeds: * <math>\begin{aligned} v &= \frac{r(\omega_R + \omega_L)}{2} \\ \omega &= \frac{r(\omega_R - \omega_L)}{L} \end{aligned}</math> The controller updates the pose in small time steps Δt. This method is called odometry: * <math>\begin{aligned} x_{new} &= x + v\cos\theta\,\Delta t \\ y_{new} &= y + v\sin\theta\,\Delta t \\ \theta_{new} &= \theta + \omega\,\Delta t \end{aligned}</math> Going the other way, the wheel speeds needed for a wanted speed V and turn rate ω are: * <math>\begin{aligned} \omega_R &= \frac{2v + \omega L}{2r} \\ \omega_L &= \frac{2v - \omega L}{2r} \end{aligned}</math> === PID control: === A PID controller is the most common way to hold a value, such as wheel speed, at a target. It looks at the error e, which is the setpoint minus the measured value, and combines three parts. the P part reacts to the present error, the I part adds up past error, and the D part reacts to how fast the error changing. * <math>\begin{aligned} u(t) &= K_p\,e(t) + K_i \int e(t)\,dt + K_d \frac{de(t)}{dt} \\ u[k] &= K_p\,e[k] + K_i\,T \sum_{i} e[i] + K_d\,\frac{e[k]-e[k-1]}{T} \end{aligned}</math> The second line is the discrete form that firmware actually runs, where T is the sample time. [[File:PID controller.png|left|525x525px]] {| class="wikitable" |+ !Gain !What happens when it is increased |- |Kp |Faster response, but more overshoot and possible oscillation |- |ki |Removes the leftover steady error, but can cause windup |- |Kd |Adds damping and reduces overshoot, but amplifies noise |} Anti windup: When the output is already at its limit, the integral part keeps growing and later causes a large overshoot. To prevent this, the integral is clamped or paused while the output is saturated. === Sensor fusion: === Every sensor has weaknesses. A gyroscope is smooth but drifts over time, while an accelerometer is noisy but does not drift. Sensor fusion combines them to get a better estimate than either could give alone. The complementary filter is the simplest method. It trusts the gyroscope for quick changes and the accelerometer for the long term average: * <math>\theta_{est} = \alpha\,(\theta_{est} + \omega_{gyro}\,\Delta t) + (1-\alpha)\,\theta_{accel}, \quad \alpha \approx 0.95 \text{ to } 0.99</math> The Kalman filter is a more powerful method that gives the best estimate for linear systems with Gaussian noise. It repeats two steps, predict and update: * <math>\begin{aligned} \hat{x}^- &= A\hat{x} + Bu \\ P^- &= A P A^{T} + Q \\ K &= P^- H^{T}\,(H P^- H^{T} + R)^{-1} \\ \hat{x} &= \hat{x}^- + K\,(z - H\hat{x}^-) \\ P &= (I - KH)\,P^- \end{aligned}</math> Here x is the state, P is the uncertainty, Q is the process noise, R is the measurement noise, Z is the new measurement and K is the Kalman gain. For nonlinear systems, robots use the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) or particle filters. === Path Planning with A*: === A* finds the cheapest route across a map. For each location n it adds the cost already spent, g(n), to a guess of the cost still to come, h(n), and always explores the lowest total first. * <math>\begin{aligned} f(n) &= g(n) + h(n) \\ h_{Euclid} &= \sqrt{(x_g-x_n)^2 + (y_g-y_n)^2} \\ h_{Manhattan} &= |x_g-x_n| + |y_g-y_n| \end{aligned}</math> A* gives the best path as long as h never overestimates the real remaining cost. Such a guess is called admissible. === Real time schedulability: === Before a design is accepted, its designer must check that every periodic task can meet its deadline. For n tasks with run time C_i and period T_i, the CPU utilization is the sum of C_i / T_i. Rate Monotonic (RM) scheduling gives fixed priority to the tasks with the shortest periods. Earliest Deadline First (EDF) always runs the task whose deadline is closest. * <math>\begin{aligned} U &= \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{C_i}{T_i} \\ U_{RM} &\le n\left(2^{1/n}-1\right) \\ U_{EDF} &\le 1 \end{aligned}</math> Example: Take three tasks with (C = 1ms, T = 5ms), (C = 2ms, T = 10ms) and (C = 3ms, T = 20ms). Then U = 0.20 + 0.20 +0.15 =0.55. The RM bound for three tasks is 0.78, so the task set is schedulable. [[File:RM CPU.png|center|815x815px]] Chart 1, with three tasks the RM guarantee is 78.0%, so the 55% example above passes easily. EDF accepts any setup to 100%. === Power and battery: === The battery size decides how long the robot can work. Energy is voltage time capacity, and runtime is the usable capacity divided by the average current. * <math>\begin{aligned} P &= V \times I \\ E_{Wh} &= V \times Ah \\ \text{Runtime (h)} &= \frac{\text{capacity (Ah)} \times \text{usable fraction}}{\text{average current (A)}} \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12V, 5 Ah pack with 80% usable capacity and a 2 A average load runs for 5 x 0.8/2 = 2hours. [[File:Battery runtime vs average current draw.png|center|779x779px]] Chart 2, Only loads of 1A or less meet a 4 hour runtime target on this pack. === Control Loop timing budget: === A control loop must finish its work before the next cycle begins. The worst case execution time (WCET) must therefore stay below the loop period, and the total delay from sensor to actuator should be kept small. * <math>\begin{aligned} T &= \frac{1}{f_{loop}} \\ WCET &< T \\ t_{latency} &= t_{sense} + t_{compute} + t_{comm} + t_{actuate} \end{aligned}</math> == Perception and Edge AI == Modern robots run machine learning models directly on their own hardware, this is called Edge AI. It avoids the delay of sending data to a remote server, and it keeps working when the network connection is lost. A typical perception pipeline starts with raw sensor data and ends with a controller command. Each step prepares the data for the next one. [[File:PERCEPTION TO ACTION PIPELINE.png|center|727x727px]] The main techniques used in this process are: * Object detection and segmentation with convolutional neural networks, which find and outline object in images. * Visual odometry and SLAM, which estimate the robot's movement and build a map. * Sensor fusion of camera, LiDAR, radar and IMU data, so that one failing sensor does not blind the robot. * Model optimization for small hardware, using quantization (replacing 32-bit decimals with 8-bit integers),pruning (removing unneeded connections) and distillation (training a small model to copy a large one). Two simple measures help compare AI chips: * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{FPS} &= \frac{1}{\text{latency}} \\ \text{Efficiency} &= \frac{\text{TOPS}}{\text{Watt}} \end{aligned}</math> FPS is the number of frames processed each second, and TOPS means trillions of operations per second. == Navigation and Decision Making == Navigation answers three questions: where is the robot, where should it go, and how can it get there without hitting anything. === The navigation stack: === Navigation software is usually split into global planner, which finds a route across the whole map, and a local planner, which adjusts the path in real time around nearby obstacles. Both depend on an up to date obstacle map, called a costmap. [[File:Navigation Stack.png|center|634x634px]] === Obstacle avoidance decision flow: === The simplest form of avoidance is reactive. The robot reads its distance sensors, checks the way ahead, and only changes direction if something is too close. [[File:Obstacle Avoidance.png|center|798x798px]] === Behaviour approaches: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Approach !Main idea !Advantages !Disadvantages |- |Reactive |Sensor readings directly trigger actions |Fast and simple |No long term planning |- |Deliberative |Plan from a model of the world |Finds good paths |Slow and depends on the model |- |Hybrid |Reactive base with a planner above it |A good balance |More complex |- |Behaviour trees and state machines |Organized task logic |Easy to read and reuse |Needs careful design |- |Learning based |A policy learned from data |Handles complex situations |Hard to verify |} == Safety, Reliability, and Security == A robot that moves in the real world can hurt people or damage property in case malfunction of that robot, so safety is the most priority given in part of design of robot since day one. Several international standards guide this work: * IEC 61508 (general functional safety), * ISO 13849 and ISO 10218 (machinery and industrial robots), * ISO 26262 (road vehicles) and * ISO 13482 (personal care robots). {| class="wikitable" |+ !Technique !Purpose |- |Watchdog timers |Restart the system if the software locks up |- |Emergency stop (E-Stop) |Cut power to the actuators using hardware alone |- |Redundancy (two sensors or two processors) |Keep working safely after a single failure |- |Fail Safe state |Move to a harmless condition, usually stopped, when a fault appears |- |Memory protection (MPU) |Stop a faulty task from damaging other tasks |- |Self test and diagnostics |Find faults early, before they cause harm |- |Over current and over temperature protection |Protect motors and batteries from damage |} '''Reliability:''' A common measure is availability, which is the fraction of time the system is working. It is calculated as MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR), where MTBF is the mean time between failures and MTTR is the mean time to repair. '''Security:''' A robot connected to a network can be attacked like any other computer. Good practice includes secure boot, signed firmware updates, encrypted communication, strong access control and giving each part only the permissions it needs. == Power Management == Power is one of the biggest limits in robot design, because more battery means more weight and more cost. * '''Batteries:''' Lithium ion and LiPo packs stores a lot of energy for their weight. They need a battery management system (BMS) that balances the cells and guards against over voltage, under voltage and high temperature. * '''Regulators:''' Buck converts step the voltage down efficiently, while LDO regulators are quiet but waste the difference as heat. * '''Efficiency:''' The share of input power that reaches the load, calculated as η = P_out / P_in. * '''Low power techniques:''' Sleep modes, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, switching off sensors that are not in use, and efficient algorithms. * '''Dynamic power of a CPU:''' Roughly P = C x V² x f, so having the volatage cuts dynamic power to about a quarter. [[File:CPU Power saving.png|center|772x772px]] Chart 3, Lowering the voltage saves far more power than lowering the frequency alone, which is why dynamic voltage and frequency scaling is widely used. == Applications == {| class="wikitable" |+ !Domain !Example !Role of the Embedded System |- |Industry |Mobile robots and robotic arms |Motion control and safety |- |Logistics |Warehouse shuttles |Navigation and fleet communication |- |Agriculture |Autonomous tractors and harvesters |GNSS navigation and vision |- |Healthcare |Surgical and rehabilitation robots |Precise force and position control |- |Home |Robot vacuum cleaners |Low cost SLAM and cliff detection |- |Aerospace and defence |UAVs and planetary rovers |Flight control and radiation tolerant design |- |Underwater |Autonomous underwater vehicles |Low-power navigation and sealed electronics |- |Automotive |Self driving cars |Sensor fusion and ISO 26262 safety |} == Challenges and Future Trends == === Challenges: === # Strict limits on power, size, weight and cost. # Keeping timing guarantees while running heavy AI workloads. # Sensor noise, drift and failure in unpredictable surroundings. # Testing and certifying software that learns from data. # Protecting connected robots from cyber attacks. # Handling heat and keeping hardware reliable over many years. === Trends: === * Mixed SoCs that combine CPU, GPU, NPU and real time cores on one chip. * TinyML and neuromorphic chips for very low power intelligence. * Micro ROS and ROS2 bringing standard robot middleware to small MCUs. * Open hardware and simulation based testing. * Swarm robotics and fleets linked over 5G and 6G. * Secure over the air software updates. * Foundation models and vision language models that guide robot behaviour. == Summary == An Autonomous Robot is only as capable as the embedded system driving it. That system ties sensing, decision making and movement together in one fast, tightly timed loop. Getting it right means picking hardware that fits the job, writing software that responds predictably, using solid control and estimation maths, and building in safety, security and power efficiency from the start. == Review Questions == # Explain the difference between a microcontroller and a microprocessor.

It can also be described as a dedicated computer system, which has been developed to perform a particular set of tasks. But it is not our traditional computer system or general purpose computers. These are the Embedded systems that may work independently or attached to a larger system to work on a few specific functions. These embedded systems can work without human intervention or with little human intervention. [[File:Autonomous robot.jpg|512x512px|left]]'''Autonomous robots''', from warehouse carrier to mars rover, depends on a small computer hidden inside it. That computer reads sensors, make decisions and drives motors, usually many times per second and without a human in the loop. This computer is an embedded system. This chapter explains what Embedded systems are, how they are built into autonomous robots, which hardware and software they use, the mathematics behind their control and navigation, and where the field is heading.

Envision a robot weaving its way through a busy room with obstacles and interferences, it spots those obstacles, and interferences, recognizes familiar objects, figures out where it is and chooses the safest route to its goal all on its own without anyone guiding it. Now the question that arises, How does a machine perform these activities without anyone controlling it manually? The brain behind this robots moving like a living organism, to have a mind of its own to think, analyze, and determine the right path towards its journey is the integration of Embedded systems, sensors, processors, control algorithms, and intelligent software. Modern autonomous robots are not simply mechanical structures equipped with motors. They are complex electronic systems capable of collecting information from their surroundings, processing that information in making decisions and performing physical actions. [[File:Visual robotics.jpg|right|606x606px]] An Autonomous robot continuously performs four fundamental operations: # Sensing: Collecting information from the environment using sensors embedded on the mechanical robot structure. # Processing: Analyzing the collected information using embedded processors. # Decision making: Selecting an appropriate action based on algorithms and environmental conditions from the set of available options on the field for the right course of goal. # Actuation: Executing the selected action through motors, servos, and other actuators. For example, consider an autonomous delivery robot operating inside a closed room with obstacles on its path: * LIDAR sensor measures distances to its surrounding objects. * Depth cameras identify obstacles and environmental structures. * An embedded processor processes the sensor information. * Navigation algorithms calculate a safe path. * Motor controllers receive commands to move the wheels. * Feedback sensors continuously monitor the robot's movement. === Beforehand we get in detail about Embedded systems in Autonomous Robotics there some terms we have to get familiar with, which are: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !S.NO !Terms !Definition |- |1. |Embedded Systems |A dedicated computing system built into a larger device to perform specific functions, usually with real-time and resource constraints. |- |2. |Robot |A programmable machine that senses its environment and acts on it through actuators. |- |3. |Autonomous Robot |A robot that performs tasks and makes decisions in an unstructured environment without continuous human control. |- |4. |Microcontroller (MCU) |A single chip containing a CPU, memory and peripherals (timers, ADC, URAT, etc.). |- |5. |Microprocessor (MPU) |A CPU that needs external memory and peripherals, run full operating system such as Linux. |- |6. |Firmware |Software stored in non-volatile memory that runs directly on the embedded hardware. |- |7. |Real Time System |A system whose correctness depends on both the result and the time at which it is produced. |- |8. |Hard real-Time |Missing a deadline is a system failure (eg: airbag, motor current loop). |- |9. |Soft real-time |Missing a deadline degrades quality but is tolerable (eg: video streaming). |- |10. |RTOS |A real-time operating system that guarantees bounded, predictable task response. |- |11. |Latency |Delay between an event (sensor change) and the system response. |- |12. |Jitter |The small variation in timing of a task that is supposed to repeat at exact intervals. |- |13. |Actuator |A device that converts energy and control signals into physical motion. |- |14. |SLAM |Simultaneous Localization and Mapping: building a map while tracking position inside it. |- |15. |Degrees of freedom (DOF) |The number of independent, individual movements or parameters a robot joint or end effector can make in space. |} ====== If a question arises that, Why do we have to use Embedded Systems instead of a general PC? ====== To answer this primarily we need to understand that Robots need low power, small size, low cost, deterministic timing and direct hardware access. A desktop OS cannot guarantee that a motor control loop runs every 1ms, an embedded controller with an RTOS can meet these requirements of cost cutting. ===== Relationship between Embedded Systems and Robotics: ===== {| class="wikitable" |+ !Embedded Systems !Autonomous Robotics |- |Process sensor inputs |Understand the environment |- |Execute firmware |Perform robotic tasks |- |Control electronic hardware |Control movement and interaction |- |Manage communication |Coordinate robotic subsystems |- |Handle real time operations |Respond to environmental changes |} Embedded systems provide the computational intelligence that allows a robot to transform sensor information into physical actions. === The Sense, Think, Act Architecture: === Almost every autonomous robot works in a repeating cycle. It first senses the world (its surroundings), then thinks about what it found on its path and finally analyzes and acts upon it accordingly through follow the right course. [[File:Sense-Think Act.jpg|center]] The controller is the core of everything. Signals from the sensors is filtered and converted into numbers, which are further processed by the controller in three stages, and the output leaves in the form of power signals for the motors. The motors affect the environment, the sensors detect the changes, and the cycle begins again. === The layered view: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Layer !Typical rate !Typical Hardware !Example task |- |Reactive (low level) |1-20 KHz |MCU |Motor current loop, reading encoders. |- |Control |100Hz - 1KHz |MCU with an RTOS |Wheel speed PID, balance control. |- |Perception |10-60Hz |SoC, GPU or NPU |Object detection, SLAM. |- |Planning and mission |1-10Hz |Application processor |Path planning, behaviour logic. |- |Cloud and fleet |seconds or more |Remote Server |Fleet management, map sharing. |} == Hardware of the Robot Brain: == The hardware of a robot brain is a mix of processor, memory, sensors, actuators and the circuits that connect them. Each part is chosen to match the speed, power and cost that needs of that job. # '''Processing Platforms:''' No single chip is best for every task, so robots often combine several type of chips whose performance varies on the task it is performing. A small MCU handles fast motor control. while a stronger processor or an AI chip handles vision and planning. {| class="wikitable" |+ !Platform !Strengths !Weaknesses !Typical robot use |- |MCU (ARM Cortex-M, AVR, ESP32) |Low power, low cost, predictable timing, many built-in peripherals. |Limited speed and memory. |Motor control, reading sensors. |- |MPU or application processor (ARM Cortex-A) |Runs Linux, plenty of memory |Less predictable timing, uses more power. |High level planning, ROS2. |- |DSP (Digital Signal Processing) |Very fast at repeated multiply and add maths |Narrow range of uses. |Filtering, audio, radar. |- |FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) |Does many things in parallel, very low delay. |Harder to program |Camera pipelines, fast motor loops. |- |GPU, NPU or TPU |Runs neural networks quickly. |High power use. |Object detection, perception. |- |SoC (system on chip) |Puts CPU, GPU and NPU on one chip. |Complex and costly |Modern autonomous platforms. |} === Inside a microcontroller: === A Microcontroller is a complete small computer on one chip. Basically the microcontroller consists of a processor, peripherals, and specified I/O pins on one single board. The CPU, the memory and all the peripherals are joined by one internal bus, so any of them can exchange data. [[File:Internal structure of MCU.png|left|542x542px]] ===== Simplified internal structure of an MCU: ===== Key peripherals # '''Timers and PWM:''' Produce precise pulses to control motor speed or servo angle. # '''ADC (Analog to Digital converter):''' Turns a sensor's changing voltage continuous signal into binary form so that the CPU can analyze. # '''DMA (Direct Memory Access):''' Moves data around without using the CPU, which leaves more time for control code. # '''Interrupt Controller:''' Lets urgent events, such as an encoder pulse or an emergency stop, pause normal code immediately. === Memory Types: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Memory''' !Keeps data without Power? !Use in robotics |- |Flash |Yes |Firmware and Calibration data |- |SRAM |No |Variables, stacks and buffers |- |DRAM |No |Large buffers such as images and maps (on MPU or SoC) |- |EEPROM or FRAM |Yes |Settings and logs |} === Sensors: === Sensors are the robot's senses. Some measure the robot itself (its wheel turns and tilt), and others measure the surroundings around it (distance and images). {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Sensor''' !What it measures !How it works !Typical output |- |Rotary encoder |Wheel or joint angle and speed |Optical or magnetic pulses |Digital pulses |- |IMU (Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer) |Acceleration, turn rate and heading |Tiny MEMS structures |I2C or SPI digital data |- |Ultrasonic |Distance, from centimetres to metres |Time taken by a sound echo |Pulse width |- |Infrared or time of flight |Short range distance |Reflected light |Analog voltage or I2C |- |LiDAR |Distance scan, 2D or 3D point cloud |Time taken by laser light to return |UART or Ethernet |- |Camera |Images |CMOS image sensor |MIPI or USB |- |GPS / GNSS |Position on Earth |Timing signals from satellites |UART (NMEA text) |- |Current sensor |Motor current |Hall effect or shunt resistor |Analog voltage |- |Force or torque sensor |Contact forces |Strain gauge |Analog voltage |} === actuators and motor drives: === Actuators make the robot move. The embedded controller cannot power a motor directly, because its pins supply only a tiny current. A motor driver sits in between and switches the larger motor current on command. {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Actuator''' !Main features !Typical use |- |Brushed DC motor |Simple and Cheap |Small wheeled robots |- |Brushless DC (BLDC) motor |Efficient and long lasting, needs a special controller |Drones, wheel hub motors |- |Stepper motor |Moves in fixed steps, position without feedback |3D printers, simple arms |- |Servo motor |Has a built in position control loop |Hobby arms, grippers |- |Linear actuator |Moves in a straight line |lifting mechanisms |- |Pneumatic or hydraulic |Very high force |Industrial and heavy robots |} A common motor driver for DC motors is the H-bridge. It uses four switches arranged like the letter H, with motor in the middle. By closing a different pair of switches, the controller can reverse the motor, brake it or let it spin freely. Figure 3 shows the idea. [[File:H bridge motor drive.png|center|539x539px]] == Software of the Robot Brain == Hardware alone does nothing. The software tells the processor how to read the sensors input, make decisions based on those inputs and drive the motors. In a robot, this software is arranged in layers, So each layer can be built and tested on its own. === The Software Stack: === At the bottom is the hardware, and just above it sits the code that hides hardware details from the rest of system. The operating system then shares the processor between tasks, and the higher layers hold the algorithms and the robot's overall mission [[File:Software stack.png|center|555x555px]] === Programming Languages: === * C and C++: The most common choices for firmware and real-time code, because they give direct control over memory and hardware. * Python: Often used for high-level logic, quick prototypes and AI tools. * Rust: A newer language that is growing in popularity because it prevents many memory errors. * VHDL and Verilog: Languages that describe the circuits inside an FPGA. * MATLAB and Simulink: Used for model-based design, and they can generate C code automatically. === RTOS concepts: === An RTOS splits the software into separate tasks, which are small programs that run side by side. A scheduler decides which task gets the processor at any moment, and it always favours the most priority one. {| class="wikitable" |+ |Concept |Meaning |- |Task |An independent piece of code with its own stack of memory. |- |Priority |An indication concept showing how urgent a task is, where a higher priority runs first. |- |Preemption |Pausing a running task so a more urgent one can start. |- |Semaphore or Mutex |A lock that lets tasks take turns using a shared resource. |- |Queue |A safe way to pass data between tasks or from an interrupt. |- |ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) |A short piece of code that runs the moment a hardware event happens. |- |Priority Inversion |A low-priority task blocks a high-priority one,which is fixed priority inheritance. |} === Typical firmware Flow: === Most robot firmware follows the same pattern. It starts up, checks itself, and then repeats a loop of reading, deciding and acting. A timer interrupt runs the fast control loop at a fixed rate while the main loop handles slower work. If a fault is found at any time, the robot moves to safe state and stops the motors. [[File:Robot Firmware.png|center|681x681px]] == Essential Formulas == This section collects the formulas that embedded robotics designers use most often. Each one is explained in words and followed by a small worked example, so the maths can be checked by hand. === PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) (motor speed control): === Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switches the supply on and off very quickly. The longer the supply stays on in each cycle, the higher the average voltage the motor receives, and the faster it turns. * <math>\begin{aligned} D &= \frac{T_{on}}{T_{period}} \\ V_{avg} &= D \times V_{supply} \\ f_{PWM} &= \frac{1}{T_{period}} \end{aligned}</math> Here D is the Duty Cycle, which is the fraction of each period that signal is on. For instance: with a 12v supply and a 60% duty cycle, V_avg =0.6 x 12 = 7.2V. === ADC resolution: === An ADC with N bits splits its reference voltage into 2^N equal steps. The size of one step is called the LSB, and it sets the smallest change the robot can detect. * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{LSB} &= \frac{V_{ref}}{2^{N}} \\ \text{Digital value} &= \frac{V_{in}}{V_{ref}} \times (2^{N}-1) \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12 bit ADC with V_ref = 3.3V has a step of 3.3 / 4096 ≈ 0.806mV. === Encoder measurements: === An encoder produces a fixed number of pulses for each turn of the wheel, called PPR (pulses per revolution). A quadrate encoder has two signals, so the controller can count four edges per pulse. This gives CPR, the counts per revolution. * <math>\begin{aligned} CPR &= PPR \times 4 \\ \text{Wheel speed (rev/s)} &= \frac{\Delta \text{counts}}{CPR \times \Delta t} \\ \text{Distance} &= \frac{\text{counts}}{CPR} \times 2\pi r \end{aligned}</math> Example: With PPR = 500, CPR = 2000. For a wheel of radius 5 cm, 2000 counts mean one full turn, which is 2π(0.05) ≈ 0.314m of travel. === Ultrasonic and time of flight distance: === These sensors send out a pulse and time how long the echo takes to return. Pulse travels to the object and back, so the result is divided by two. * <math>\begin{aligned} d &= \frac{v \times t}{2} \\ v_{sound} &\approx 331.3 + 0.606\,T \ \text{m/s} \\ d_{LiDAR} &= \frac{c \times t}{2}, \quad c = 3\times10^{8}\ \text{m/s} \end{aligned}</math> In these formulas T is the air temperature in degree centigrade and c is the speed of light. === Differential drive kinematics: === Many small robots have two driven wheels on either side. Steering is done by running the wheels at different speeds. Let r be the wheel radius, L the distance between the wheels, and ωR and ωL the wheel speeds. [[File:Differential Drive.png|right|460x460px]] The forward speed V and the robot's turn rate ω follow from the two wheels speeds: * <math>\begin{aligned} v &= \frac{r(\omega_R + \omega_L)}{2} \\ \omega &= \frac{r(\omega_R - \omega_L)}{L} \end{aligned}</math> The controller updates the pose in small time steps Δt. This method is called odometry: * <math>\begin{aligned} x_{new} &= x + v\cos\theta\,\Delta t \\ y_{new} &= y + v\sin\theta\,\Delta t \\ \theta_{new} &= \theta + \omega\,\Delta t \end{aligned}</math> Going the other way, the wheel speeds needed for a wanted speed V and turn rate ω are: * <math>\begin{aligned} \omega_R &= \frac{2v + \omega L}{2r} \\ \omega_L &= \frac{2v - \omega L}{2r} \end{aligned}</math> === PID control: === A PID controller is the most common way to hold a value, such as wheel speed, at a target. It looks at the error e, which is the setpoint minus the measured value, and combines three parts. the P part reacts to the present error, the I part adds up past error, and the D part reacts to how fast the error changing. * <math>\begin{aligned} u(t) &= K_p\,e(t) + K_i \int e(t)\,dt + K_d \frac{de(t)}{dt} \\ u[k] &= K_p\,e[k] + K_i\,T \sum_{i} e[i] + K_d\,\frac{e[k]-e[k-1]}{T} \end{aligned}</math> The second line is the discrete form that firmware actually runs, where T is the sample time. [[File:PID controller.png|left|525x525px]] {| class="wikitable" |+ !Gain !What happens when it is increased |- |Kp |Faster response, but more overshoot and possible oscillation |- |ki |Removes the leftover steady error, but can cause windup |- |Kd |Adds damping and reduces overshoot, but amplifies noise |} Anti windup: When the output is already at its limit, the integral part keeps growing and later causes a large overshoot. To prevent this, the integral is clamped or paused while the output is saturated. === Sensor fusion: === Every sensor has weaknesses. A gyroscope is smooth but drifts over time, while an accelerometer is noisy but does not drift. Sensor fusion combines them to get a better estimate than either could give alone. The complementary filter is the simplest method. It trusts the gyroscope for quick changes and the accelerometer for the long term average: * <math>\theta_{est} = \alpha\,(\theta_{est} + \omega_{gyro}\,\Delta t) + (1-\alpha)\,\theta_{accel}, \quad \alpha \approx 0.95 \text{ to } 0.99</math> The Kalman filter is a more powerful method that gives the best estimate for linear systems with Gaussian noise. It repeats two steps, predict and update: * <math>\begin{aligned} \hat{x}^- &= A\hat{x} + Bu \\ P^- &= A P A^{T} + Q \\ K &= P^- H^{T}\,(H P^- H^{T} + R)^{-1} \\ \hat{x} &= \hat{x}^- + K\,(z - H\hat{x}^-) \\ P &= (I - KH)\,P^- \end{aligned}</math> Here x is the state, P is the uncertainty, Q is the process noise, R is the measurement noise, Z is the new measurement and K is the Kalman gain. For nonlinear systems, robots use the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) or particle filters. === Path Planning with A*: === A* finds the cheapest route across a map. For each location n it adds the cost already spent, g(n), to a guess of the cost still to come, h(n), and always explores the lowest total first. * <math>\begin{aligned} f(n) &= g(n) + h(n) \\ h_{Euclid} &= \sqrt{(x_g-x_n)^2 + (y_g-y_n)^2} \\ h_{Manhattan} &= |x_g-x_n| + |y_g-y_n| \end{aligned}</math> A* gives the best path as long as h never overestimates the real remaining cost. Such a guess is called admissible. === Real time schedulability: === Before a design is accepted, its designer must check that every periodic task can meet its deadline. For n tasks with run time C_i and period T_i, the CPU utilization is the sum of C_i / T_i. Rate Monotonic (RM) scheduling gives fixed priority to the tasks with the shortest periods. Earliest Deadline First (EDF) always runs the task whose deadline is closest. * <math>\begin{aligned} U &= \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{C_i}{T_i} \\ U_{RM} &\le n\left(2^{1/n}-1\right) \\ U_{EDF} &\le 1 \end{aligned}</math> Example: Take three tasks with (C = 1ms, T = 5ms), (C = 2ms, T = 10ms) and (C = 3ms, T = 20ms). Then U = 0.20 + 0.20 +0.15 =0.55. The RM bound for three tasks is 0.78, so the task set is schedulable. [[File:RM CPU.png|center|815x815px]] Chart 1, with three tasks the RM guarantee is 78.0%, so the 55% example above passes easily. EDF accepts any setup to 100%. === Power and battery: === The battery size decides how long the robot can work. Energy is voltage time capacity, and runtime is the usable capacity divided by the average current. * <math>\begin{aligned} P &= V \times I \\ E_{Wh} &= V \times Ah \\ \text{Runtime (h)} &= \frac{\text{capacity (Ah)} \times \text{usable fraction}}{\text{average current (A)}} \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12V, 5 Ah pack with 80% usable capacity and a 2 A average load runs for 5 x 0.8/2 = 2hours. [[File:Battery runtime vs average current draw.png|center|779x779px]] Chart 2, Only loads of 1A or less meet a 4 hour runtime target on this pack. === Control Loop timing budget: === A control loop must finish its work before the next cycle begins. The worst case execution time (WCET) must therefore stay below the loop period, and the total delay from sensor to actuator should be kept small. * <math>\begin{aligned} T &= \frac{1}{f_{loop}} \\ WCET &< T \\ t_{latency} &= t_{sense} + t_{compute} + t_{comm} + t_{actuate} \end{aligned}</math> == Perception and Edge AI == Modern robots run machine learning models directly on their own hardware, this is called Edge AI. It avoids the delay of sending data to a remote server, and it keeps working when the network connection is lost. A typical perception pipeline starts with raw sensor data and ends with a controller command. Each step prepares the data for the next one. [[File:PERCEPTION TO ACTION PIPELINE.png|center|727x727px]] The main techniques used in this process are: * Object detection and segmentation with convolutional neural networks, which find and outline object in images. * Visual odometry and SLAM, which estimate the robot's movement and build a map. * Sensor fusion of camera, LiDAR, radar and IMU data, so that one failing sensor does not blind the robot. * Model optimization for small hardware, using quantization (replacing 32-bit decimals with 8-bit integers),pruning (removing unneeded connections) and distillation (training a small model to copy a large one). Two simple measures help compare AI chips: * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{FPS} &= \frac{1}{\text{latency}} \\ \text{Efficiency} &= \frac{\text{TOPS}}{\text{Watt}} \end{aligned}</math> FPS is the number of frames processed each second, and TOPS means trillions of operations per second. == Navigation and Decision Making == Navigation answers three questions: where is the robot, where should it go, and how can it get there without hitting anything. === The navigation stack: === Navigation software is usually split into global planner, which finds a route across the whole map, and a local planner, which adjusts the path in real time around nearby obstacles. Both depend on an up to date obstacle map, called a costmap. [[File:Navigation Stack.png|center|634x634px]] === Obstacle avoidance decision flow: === The simplest form of avoidance is reactive. The robot reads its distance sensors, checks the way ahead, and only changes direction if something is too close. [[File:Obstacle Avoidance.png|center|798x798px]] === Behaviour approaches: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Approach !Main idea !Advantages !Disadvantages |- |Reactive |Sensor readings directly trigger actions |Fast and simple |No long term planning |- |Deliberative |Plan from a model of the world |Finds good paths |Slow and depends on the model |- |Hybrid |Reactive base with a planner above it |A good balance |More complex |- |Behaviour trees and state machines |Organized task logic |Easy to read and reuse |Needs careful design |- |Learning based |A policy learned from data |Handles complex situations |Hard to verify |} == Safety, Reliability, and Security == A robot that moves in the real world can hurt people or damage property in case malfunction of that robot, so safety is the most priority given in part of design of robot since day one. Several international standards guide this work: * IEC 61508 (general functional safety), * ISO 13849 and ISO 10218 (machinery and industrial robots), * ISO 26262 (road vehicles) and * ISO 13482 (personal care robots). {| class="wikitable" |+ !Technique !Purpose |- |Watchdog timers |Restart the system if the software locks up |- |Emergency stop (E-Stop) |Cut power to the actuators using hardware alone |- |Redundancy (two sensors or two processors) |Keep working safely after a single failure |- |Fail Safe state |Move to a harmless condition, usually stopped, when a fault appears |- |Memory protection (MPU) |Stop a faulty task from damaging other tasks |- |Self test and diagnostics |Find faults early, before they cause harm |- |Over current and over temperature protection |Protect motors and batteries from damage |} '''Reliability:''' A common measure is availability, which is the fraction of time the system is working. It is calculated as MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR), where MTBF is the mean time between failures and MTTR is the mean time to repair. '''Security:''' A robot connected to a network can be attacked like any other computer. Good practice includes secure boot, signed firmware updates, encrypted communication, strong access control and giving each part only the permissions it needs. == Power Management == Power is one of the biggest limits in robot design, because more battery means more weight and more cost. * '''Batteries:''' Lithium ion and LiPo packs stores a lot of energy for their weight. They need a battery management system (BMS) that balances the cells and guards against over voltage, under voltage and high temperature. * '''Regulators:''' Buck converts step the voltage down efficiently, while LDO regulators are quiet but waste the difference as heat. * '''Efficiency:''' The share of input power that reaches the load, calculated as η = P_out / P_in. * '''Low power techniques:''' Sleep modes, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, switching off sensors that are not in use, and efficient algorithms. * '''Dynamic power of a CPU:''' Roughly P = C x V² x f, so having the volatage cuts dynamic power to about a quarter. [[File:CPU Power saving.png|center|772x772px]] Chart 3, Lowering the voltage saves far more power than lowering the frequency alone, which is why dynamic voltage and frequency scaling is widely used. == Applications == {| class="wikitable" |+ !Domain !Example !Role of the Embedded System |- |Industry |Mobile robots and robotic arms |Motion control and safety |- |Logistics |Warehouse shuttles |Navigation and fleet communication |- |Agriculture |Autonomous tractors and harvesters |GNSS navigation and vision |- |Healthcare |Surgical and rehabilitation robots |Precise force and position control |- |Home |Robot vacuum cleaners |Low cost SLAM and cliff detection |- |Aerospace and defence |UAVs and planetary rovers |Flight control and radiation tolerant design |- |Underwater |Autonomous underwater vehicles |Low-power navigation and sealed electronics |- |Automotive |Self driving cars |Sensor fusion and ISO 26262 safety |} == Challenges and Future Trends == === Challenges: === # Strict limits on power, size, weight and cost. # Keeping timing guarantees while running heavy AI workloads. # Sensor noise, drift and failure in unpredictable surroundings. # Testing and certifying software that learns from data. # Protecting connected robots from cyber attacks. # Handling heat and keeping hardware reliable over many years. === Trends: === * Mixed SoCs that combine CPU, GPU, NPU and real time cores on one chip. * TinyML and neuromorphic chips for very low power intelligence. * Micro ROS and ROS2 bringing standard robot middleware to small MCUs. * Open hardware and simulation based testing. * Swarm robotics and fleets linked over 5G and 6G. * Secure over the air software updates. * Foundation models and vision language models that guide robot behaviour. == Summary == An Autonomous Robot is only as capable as the embedded system driving it. That system ties sensing, decision making and movement together in one fast, tightly timed loop. Getting it right means picking hardware that fits the job, writing software that responds predictably, using solid control and estimation maths, and building in safety, security and power efficiency from the start. == Review Questions == # Explain the difference between a microcontroller and a microprocessor.

It can also be described as a dedicated computer system, which has been developed to perform a particular set of tasks. But it is not our traditional computer system or general purpose computers. These are the Embedded systems that may work independently or attached to a larger system to work on a few specific functions. These embedded systems can work without human intervention or with little human intervention. [[File:Autonomous robot.jpg|512x512px|left]] '''Autonomous robots''', from warehouse carrier to mars rover, depends on a small computer hidden inside it. That computer reads sensors, make decisions and drives motors, usually many times per second and without a human in the loop. This computer is an embedded system. This chapter explains what Embedded systems are, how they are built into autonomous robots, which hardware and software they use, the mathematics behind their control and navigation, and where the field is heading. '''What to expect from this page:''' * Define Embedded System, Autonomous Robot, real time system and RTOS. * Express the Sense, Think, Act architecture of a robot. * Compare microcontrollers, microprocessors, DSPs, FPGAs, SoCs, and AI accelerators. * Explain common sensors, actuators and communication buses. * Apply the key formulas: PWM, ADC, resolution, encoder counts, differential-drive Kinematics, PID, Kalman filtering, and real time schedulability. * Describe safety, security and power constraints, and future trends. == Introduction to Embedded Systems in Autonomous Robotics: == '''Embedded Systems in Autonomous Robotics''' refer to the combination of dedicated computing hardware and specialized software integrated into robotic machines to perform sensing, data processing, decision making, communication, and motion control in real time. Envision a robot weaving its way through a busy room with obstacles and interferences, it spots those obstacles, and interferences, recognizes familiar objects, figures out where it is and chooses the safest route to its goal all on its own without anyone guiding it. Now the question that arises, How does a machine perform these activities without anyone controlling it manually? The brain behind this robots moving like a living organism, to have a mind of its own to think, analyze, and determine the right path towards its journey is the integration of Embedded systems, sensors, processors, control algorithms, and intelligent software. Modern autonomous robots are not simply mechanical structures equipped with motors. They are complex electronic systems capable of collecting information from their surroundings, processing that information in making decisions and performing physical actions. [[File:Visual robotics.jpg|right|606x606px]] An Autonomous robot continuously performs four fundamental operations: # Sensing: Collecting information from the environment using sensors embedded on the mechanical robot structure. # Processing: Analyzing the collected information using embedded processors. # Decision making: Selecting an appropriate action based on algorithms and environmental conditions from the set of available options on the field for the right course of goal. # Actuation: Executing the selected action through motors, servos, and other actuators. For example, consider an autonomous delivery robot operating inside a closed room with obstacles on its path: * LIDAR sensor measures distances to its surrounding objects. * Depth cameras identify obstacles and environmental structures. * An embedded processor processes the sensor information. * Navigation algorithms calculate a safe path. * Motor controllers receive commands to move the wheels. * Feedback sensors continuously monitor the robot's movement. === Beforehand we get in detail about Embedded systems in Autonomous Robotics there some terms we have to get familiar with, which are: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !S.NO !Terms !Definition |- |1. |Embedded Systems |A dedicated computing system built into a larger device to perform specific functions, usually with real-time and resource constraints. |- |2. |Robot |A programmable machine that senses its environment and acts on it through actuators. |- |3. |Autonomous Robot |A robot that performs tasks and makes decisions in an unstructured environment without continuous human control. |- |4. |Microcontroller (MCU) |A single chip containing a CPU, memory and peripherals (timers, ADC, URAT, etc.). |- |5. |Microprocessor (MPU) |A CPU that needs external memory and peripherals, run full operating system such as Linux. |- |6. |Firmware |Software stored in non-volatile memory that runs directly on the embedded hardware. |- |7. |Real Time System |A system whose correctness depends on both the result and the time at which it is produced. |- |8. |Hard real-Time |Missing a deadline is a system failure (eg: airbag, motor current loop). |- |9. |Soft real-time |Missing a deadline degrades quality but is tolerable (eg: video streaming). |- |10. |RTOS |A real-time operating system that guarantees bounded, predictable task response. |- |11. |Latency |Delay between an event (sensor change) and the system response. |- |12. |Jitter |The small variation in timing of a task that is supposed to repeat at exact intervals. |- |13. |Actuator |A device that converts energy and control signals into physical motion. |- |14. |SLAM |Simultaneous Localization and Mapping: building a map while tracking position inside it. |- |15. |Degrees of freedom (DOF) |The number of independent, individual movements or parameters a robot joint or end effector can make in space. |} ====== If a question arises that, Why do we have to use Embedded Systems instead of a general PC? ====== To answer this primarily we need to understand that Robots need low power, small size, low cost, deterministic timing and direct hardware access. A desktop OS cannot guarantee that a motor control loop runs every 1ms, an embedded controller with an RTOS can meet these requirements of cost cutting. ===== Relationship between Embedded Systems and Robotics: ===== {| class="wikitable" |+ !Embedded Systems !Autonomous Robotics |- |Process sensor inputs |Understand the environment |- |Execute firmware |Perform robotic tasks |- |Control electronic hardware |Control movement and interaction |- |Manage communication |Coordinate robotic subsystems |- |Handle real time operations |Respond to environmental changes |} Embedded systems provide the computational intelligence that allows a robot to transform sensor information into physical actions. === The Sense, Think, Act Architecture: === Almost every autonomous robot works in a repeating cycle. It first senses the world (its surroundings), then thinks about what it found on its path and finally analyzes and acts upon it accordingly through follow the right course. [[File:Sense-Think Act.jpg|center]] The controller is the core of everything. Signals from the sensors is filtered and converted into numbers, which are further processed by the controller in three stages, and the output leaves in the form of power signals for the motors. The motors affect the environment, the sensors detect the changes, and the cycle begins again. === The layered view: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Layer !Typical rate !Typical Hardware !Example task |- |Reactive (low level) |1-20 KHz |MCU |Motor current loop, reading encoders. |- |Control |100Hz - 1KHz |MCU with an RTOS |Wheel speed PID, balance control. |- |Perception |10-60Hz |SoC, GPU or NPU |Object detection, SLAM. |- |Planning and mission |1-10Hz |Application processor |Path planning, behaviour logic. |- |Cloud and fleet |seconds or more |Remote Server |Fleet management, map sharing. |} == Hardware of the Robot Brain: == The hardware of a robot brain is a mix of processor, memory, sensors, actuators and the circuits that connect them. Each part is chosen to match the speed, power and cost that needs of that job. # '''Processing Platforms:''' No single chip is best for every task, so robots often combine several type of chips whose performance varies on the task it is performing. A small MCU handles fast motor control. while a stronger processor or an AI chip handles vision and planning. {| class="wikitable" |+ !Platform !Strengths !Weaknesses !Typical robot use |- |MCU (ARM Cortex-M, AVR, ESP32) |Low power, low cost, predictable timing, many built-in peripherals. |Limited speed and memory. |Motor control, reading sensors. |- |MPU or application processor (ARM Cortex-A) |Runs Linux, plenty of memory |Less predictable timing, uses more power. |High level planning, ROS2. |- |DSP (Digital Signal Processing) |Very fast at repeated multiply and add maths |Narrow range of uses. |Filtering, audio, radar. |- |FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) |Does many things in parallel, very low delay. |Harder to program |Camera pipelines, fast motor loops. |- |GPU, NPU or TPU |Runs neural networks quickly. |High power use. |Object detection, perception. |- |SoC (system on chip) |Puts CPU, GPU and NPU on one chip. |Complex and costly |Modern autonomous platforms. |} === Inside a microcontroller: === A Microcontroller is a complete small computer on one chip. Basically the microcontroller consists of a processor, peripherals, and specified I/O pins on one single board. The CPU, the memory and all the peripherals are joined by one internal bus, so any of them can exchange data. [[File:Internal structure of MCU.png|left|542x542px]] ===== Simplified internal structure of an MCU: ===== Key peripherals # '''Timers and PWM:''' Produce precise pulses to control motor speed or servo angle. # '''ADC (Analog to Digital converter):''' Turns a sensor's changing voltage continuous signal into binary form so that the CPU can analyze. # '''DMA (Direct Memory Access):''' Moves data around without using the CPU, which leaves more time for control code. # '''Interrupt Controller:''' Lets urgent events, such as an encoder pulse or an emergency stop, pause normal code immediately. === Memory Types: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Memory''' !Keeps data without Power? !Use in robotics |- |Flash |Yes |Firmware and Calibration data |- |SRAM |No |Variables, stacks and buffers |- |DRAM |No |Large buffers such as images and maps (on MPU or SoC) |- |EEPROM or FRAM |Yes |Settings and logs |} === Sensors: === Sensors are the robot's senses. Some measure the robot itself (its wheel turns and tilt), and others measure the surroundings around it (distance and images). {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Sensor''' !What it measures !How it works !Typical output |- |Rotary encoder |Wheel or joint angle and speed |Optical or magnetic pulses |Digital pulses |- |IMU (Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer) |Acceleration, turn rate and heading |Tiny MEMS structures |I2C or SPI digital data |- |Ultrasonic |Distance, from centimetres to metres |Time taken by a sound echo |Pulse width |- |Infrared or time of flight |Short range distance |Reflected light |Analog voltage or I2C |- |LiDAR |Distance scan, 2D or 3D point cloud |Time taken by laser light to return |UART or Ethernet |- |Camera |Images |CMOS image sensor |MIPI or USB |- |GPS / GNSS |Position on Earth |Timing signals from satellites |UART (NMEA text) |- |Current sensor |Motor current |Hall effect or shunt resistor |Analog voltage |- |Force or torque sensor |Contact forces |Strain gauge |Analog voltage |} === actuators and motor drives: === Actuators make the robot move. The embedded controller cannot power a motor directly, because its pins supply only a tiny current. A motor driver sits in between and switches the larger motor current on command. {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Actuator''' !Main features !Typical use |- |Brushed DC motor |Simple and Cheap |Small wheeled robots |- |Brushless DC (BLDC) motor |Efficient and long lasting, needs a special controller |Drones, wheel hub motors |- |Stepper motor |Moves in fixed steps, position without feedback |3D printers, simple arms |- |Servo motor |Has a built in position control loop |Hobby arms, grippers |- |Linear actuator |Moves in a straight line |lifting mechanisms |- |Pneumatic or hydraulic |Very high force |Industrial and heavy robots |} A common motor driver for DC motors is the H-bridge. It uses four switches arranged like the letter H, with motor in the middle. By closing a different pair of switches, the controller can reverse the motor, brake it or let it spin freely. Figure 3 shows the idea. [[File:H bridge motor drive.png|center|539x539px]] == Software of the Robot Brain == Hardware alone does nothing. The software tells the processor how to read the sensors input, make decisions based on those inputs and drive the motors. In a robot, this software is arranged in layers, So each layer can be built and tested on its own. === The Software Stack: === At the bottom is the hardware, and just above it sits the code that hides hardware details from the rest of system. The operating system then shares the processor between tasks, and the higher layers hold the algorithms and the robot's overall mission [[File:Software stack.png|center|555x555px]] === Programming Languages: === * C and C++: The most common choices for firmware and real-time code, because they give direct control over memory and hardware. * Python: Often used for high-level logic, quick prototypes and AI tools. * Rust: A newer language that is growing in popularity because it prevents many memory errors. * VHDL and Verilog: Languages that describe the circuits inside an FPGA. * MATLAB and Simulink: Used for model-based design, and they can generate C code automatically. === RTOS concepts: === An RTOS splits the software into separate tasks, which are small programs that run side by side. A scheduler decides which task gets the processor at any moment, and it always favours the most priority one. {| class="wikitable" |+ |Concept |Meaning |- |Task |An independent piece of code with its own stack of memory. |- |Priority |An indication concept showing how urgent a task is, where a higher priority runs first. |- |Preemption |Pausing a running task so a more urgent one can start. |- |Semaphore or Mutex |A lock that lets tasks take turns using a shared resource. |- |Queue |A safe way to pass data between tasks or from an interrupt. |- |ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) |A short piece of code that runs the moment a hardware event happens. |- |Priority Inversion |A low-priority task blocks a high-priority one,which is fixed priority inheritance. |} === Typical firmware Flow: === Most robot firmware follows the same pattern. It starts up, checks itself, and then repeats a loop of reading, deciding and acting. A timer interrupt runs the fast control loop at a fixed rate while the main loop handles slower work. If a fault is found at any time, the robot moves to safe state and stops the motors. [[File:Robot Firmware.png|center|681x681px]] == Essential Formulas == This section collects the formulas that embedded robotics designers use most often. Each one is explained in words and followed by a small worked example, so the maths can be checked by hand. === PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) (motor speed control): === Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switches the supply on and off very quickly. The longer the supply stays on in each cycle, the higher the average voltage the motor receives, and the faster it turns. * <math>\begin{aligned} D &= \frac{T_{on}}{T_{period}} \\ V_{avg} &= D \times V_{supply} \\ f_{PWM} &= \frac{1}{T_{period}} \end{aligned}</math> Here D is the Duty Cycle, which is the fraction of each period that signal is on. For instance: with a 12v supply and a 60% duty cycle, V_avg =0.6 x 12 = 7.2V. === ADC resolution: === An ADC with N bits splits its reference voltage into 2^N equal steps. The size of one step is called the LSB, and it sets the smallest change the robot can detect. * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{LSB} &= \frac{V_{ref}}{2^{N}} \\ \text{Digital value} &= \frac{V_{in}}{V_{ref}} \times (2^{N}-1) \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12 bit ADC with V_ref = 3.3V has a step of 3.3 / 4096 ≈ 0.806mV. === Encoder measurements: === An encoder produces a fixed number of pulses for each turn of the wheel, called PPR (pulses per revolution). A quadrate encoder has two signals, so the controller can count four edges per pulse. This gives CPR, the counts per revolution. * <math>\begin{aligned} CPR &= PPR \times 4 \\ \text{Wheel speed (rev/s)} &= \frac{\Delta \text{counts}}{CPR \times \Delta t} \\ \text{Distance} &= \frac{\text{counts}}{CPR} \times 2\pi r \end{aligned}</math> Example: With PPR = 500, CPR = 2000. For a wheel of radius 5 cm, 2000 counts mean one full turn, which is 2π(0.05) ≈ 0.314m of travel. === Ultrasonic and time of flight distance: === These sensors send out a pulse and time how long the echo takes to return. Pulse travels to the object and back, so the result is divided by two. * <math>\begin{aligned} d &= \frac{v \times t}{2} \\ v_{sound} &\approx 331.3 + 0.606\,T \ \text{m/s} \\ d_{LiDAR} &= \frac{c \times t}{2}, \quad c = 3\times10^{8}\ \text{m/s} \end{aligned}</math> In these formulas T is the air temperature in degree centigrade and c is the speed of light. === Differential drive kinematics: === Many small robots have two driven wheels on either side. Steering is done by running the wheels at different speeds. Let r be the wheel radius, L the distance between the wheels, and ωR and ωL the wheel speeds. [[File:Differential Drive.png|right|460x460px]] The forward speed V and the robot's turn rate ω follow from the two wheels speeds: * <math>\begin{aligned} v &= \frac{r(\omega_R + \omega_L)}{2} \\ \omega &= \frac{r(\omega_R - \omega_L)}{L} \end{aligned}</math> The controller updates the pose in small time steps Δt. This method is called odometry: * <math>\begin{aligned} x_{new} &= x + v\cos\theta\,\Delta t \\ y_{new} &= y + v\sin\theta\,\Delta t \\ \theta_{new} &= \theta + \omega\,\Delta t \end{aligned}</math> Going the other way, the wheel speeds needed for a wanted speed V and turn rate ω are: * <math>\begin{aligned} \omega_R &= \frac{2v + \omega L}{2r} \\ \omega_L &= \frac{2v - \omega L}{2r} \end{aligned}</math> === PID control: === A PID controller is the most common way to hold a value, such as wheel speed, at a target. It looks at the error e, which is the setpoint minus the measured value, and combines three parts. the P part reacts to the present error, the I part adds up past error, and the D part reacts to how fast the error changing. * <math>\begin{aligned} u(t) &= K_p\,e(t) + K_i \int e(t)\,dt + K_d \frac{de(t)}{dt} \\ u[k] &= K_p\,e[k] + K_i\,T \sum_{i} e[i] + K_d\,\frac{e[k]-e[k-1]}{T} \end{aligned}</math> The second line is the discrete form that firmware actually runs, where T is the sample time. [[File:PID controller.png|left|525x525px]] {| class="wikitable" |+ !Gain !What happens when it is increased |- |Kp |Faster response, but more overshoot and possible oscillation |- |ki |Removes the leftover steady error, but can cause windup |- |Kd |Adds damping and reduces overshoot, but amplifies noise |} Anti windup: When the output is already at its limit, the integral part keeps growing and later causes a large overshoot. To prevent this, the integral is clamped or paused while the output is saturated. === Sensor fusion: === Every sensor has weaknesses. A gyroscope is smooth but drifts over time, while an accelerometer is noisy but does not drift. Sensor fusion combines them to get a better estimate than either could give alone. The complementary filter is the simplest method. It trusts the gyroscope for quick changes and the accelerometer for the long term average: * <math>\theta_{est} = \alpha\,(\theta_{est} + \omega_{gyro}\,\Delta t) + (1-\alpha)\,\theta_{accel}, \quad \alpha \approx 0.95 \text{ to } 0.99</math> The Kalman filter is a more powerful method that gives the best estimate for linear systems with Gaussian noise. It repeats two steps, predict and update: * <math>\begin{aligned} \hat{x}^- &= A\hat{x} + Bu \\ P^- &= A P A^{T} + Q \\ K &= P^- H^{T}\,(H P^- H^{T} + R)^{-1} \\ \hat{x} &= \hat{x}^- + K\,(z - H\hat{x}^-) \\ P &= (I - KH)\,P^- \end{aligned}</math> Here x is the state, P is the uncertainty, Q is the process noise, R is the measurement noise, Z is the new measurement and K is the Kalman gain. For nonlinear systems, robots use the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) or particle filters. === Path Planning with A*: === A* finds the cheapest route across a map. For each location n it adds the cost already spent, g(n), to a guess of the cost still to come, h(n), and always explores the lowest total first. * <math>\begin{aligned} f(n) &= g(n) + h(n) \\ h_{Euclid} &= \sqrt{(x_g-x_n)^2 + (y_g-y_n)^2} \\ h_{Manhattan} &= |x_g-x_n| + |y_g-y_n| \end{aligned}</math> A* gives the best path as long as h never overestimates the real remaining cost. Such a guess is called admissible. === Real time schedulability: === Before a design is accepted, its designer must check that every periodic task can meet its deadline. For n tasks with run time C_i and period T_i, the CPU utilization is the sum of C_i / T_i. Rate Monotonic (RM) scheduling gives fixed priority to the tasks with the shortest periods. Earliest Deadline First (EDF) always runs the task whose deadline is closest. * <math>\begin{aligned} U &= \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{C_i}{T_i} \\ U_{RM} &\le n\left(2^{1/n}-1\right) \\ U_{EDF} &\le 1 \end{aligned}</math> Example: Take three tasks with (C = 1ms, T = 5ms), (C = 2ms, T = 10ms) and (C = 3ms, T = 20ms). Then U = 0.20 + 0.20 +0.15 =0.55. The RM bound for three tasks is 0.78, so the task set is schedulable. [[File:RM CPU.png|center|815x815px]] Chart 1, with three tasks the RM guarantee is 78.0%, so the 55% example above passes easily. EDF accepts any setup to 100%. === Power and battery: === The battery size decides how long the robot can work. Energy is voltage time capacity, and runtime is the usable capacity divided by the average current. * <math>\begin{aligned} P &= V \times I \\ E_{Wh} &= V \times Ah \\ \text{Runtime (h)} &= \frac{\text{capacity (Ah)} \times \text{usable fraction}}{\text{average current (A)}} \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12V, 5 Ah pack with 80% usable capacity and a 2 A average load runs for 5 x 0.8/2 = 2hours. [[File:Battery runtime vs average current draw.png|center|779x779px]] Chart 2, Only loads of 1A or less meet a 4 hour runtime target on this pack. === Control Loop timing budget: === A control loop must finish its work before the next cycle begins. The worst case execution time (WCET) must therefore stay below the loop period, and the total delay from sensor to actuator should be kept small. * <math>\begin{aligned} T &= \frac{1}{f_{loop}} \\ WCET &< T \\ t_{latency} &= t_{sense} + t_{compute} + t_{comm} + t_{actuate} \end{aligned}</math> == Perception and Edge AI == Modern robots run machine learning models directly on their own hardware, this is called Edge AI. It avoids the delay of sending data to a remote server, and it keeps working when the network connection is lost. A typical perception pipeline starts with raw sensor data and ends with a controller command. Each step prepares the data for the next one. [[File:PERCEPTION TO ACTION PIPELINE.png|center|727x727px]] The main techniques used in this process are: * Object detection and segmentation with convolutional neural networks, which find and outline object in images. * Visual odometry and SLAM, which estimate the robot's movement and build a map. * Sensor fusion of camera, LiDAR, radar and IMU data, so that one failing sensor does not blind the robot. * Model optimization for small hardware, using quantization (replacing 32-bit decimals with 8-bit integers),pruning (removing unneeded connections) and distillation (training a small model to copy a large one). Two simple measures help compare AI chips: * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{FPS} &= \frac{1}{\text{latency}} \\ \text{Efficiency} &= \frac{\text{TOPS}}{\text{Watt}} \end{aligned}</math> FPS is the number of frames processed each second, and TOPS means trillions of operations per second. == Navigation and Decision Making == Navigation answers three questions: where is the robot, where should it go, and how can it get there without hitting anything. === The navigation stack: === Navigation software is usually split into global planner, which finds a route across the whole map, and a local planner, which adjusts the path in real time around nearby obstacles. Both depend on an up to date obstacle map, called a costmap. [[File:Navigation Stack.png|center|634x634px]] === Obstacle avoidance decision flow: === The simplest form of avoidance is reactive. The robot reads its distance sensors, checks the way ahead, and only changes direction if something is too close. [[File:Obstacle Avoidance.png|center|798x798px]] === Behaviour approaches: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Approach !Main idea !Advantages !Disadvantages |- |Reactive |Sensor readings directly trigger actions |Fast and simple |No long term planning |- |Deliberative |Plan from a model of the world |Finds good paths |Slow and depends on the model |- |Hybrid |Reactive base with a planner above it |A good balance |More complex |- |Behaviour trees and state machines |Organized task logic |Easy to read and reuse |Needs careful design |- |Learning based |A policy learned from data |Handles complex situations |Hard to verify |} == Safety, Reliability, and Security == A robot that moves in the real world can hurt people or damage property in case malfunction of that robot, so safety is the most priority given in part of design of robot since day one. Several international standards guide this work: * IEC 61508 (general functional safety), * ISO 13849 and ISO 10218 (machinery and industrial robots), * ISO 26262 (road vehicles) and * ISO 13482 (personal care robots). {| class="wikitable" |+ !Technique !Purpose |- |Watchdog timers |Restart the system if the software locks up |- |Emergency stop (E-Stop) |Cut power to the actuators using hardware alone |- |Redundancy (two sensors or two processors) |Keep working safely after a single failure |- |Fail Safe state |Move to a harmless condition, usually stopped, when a fault appears |- |Memory protection (MPU) |Stop a faulty task from damaging other tasks |- |Self test and diagnostics |Find faults early, before they cause harm |- |Over current and over temperature protection |Protect motors and batteries from damage |} '''Reliability:''' A common measure is availability, which is the fraction of time the system is working. It is calculated as MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR), where MTBF is the mean time between failures and MTTR is the mean time to repair. '''Security:''' A robot connected to a network can be attacked like any other computer. Good practice includes secure boot, signed firmware updates, encrypted communication, strong access control and giving each part only the permissions it needs. == Power Management == Power is one of the biggest limits in robot design, because more battery means more weight and more cost. * '''Batteries:''' Lithium ion and LiPo packs stores a lot of energy for their weight. They need a battery management system (BMS) that balances the cells and guards against over voltage, under voltage and high temperature. * '''Regulators:''' Buck converts step the voltage down efficiently, while LDO regulators are quiet but waste the difference as heat. * '''Efficiency:''' The share of input power that reaches the load, calculated as η = P_out / P_in. * '''Low power techniques:''' Sleep modes, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, switching off sensors that are not in use, and efficient algorithms. * '''Dynamic power of a CPU:''' Roughly P = C x V² x f, so having the volatage cuts dynamic power to about a quarter. [[File:CPU Power saving.png|center|772x772px]] Chart 3, Lowering the voltage saves far more power than lowering the frequency alone, which is why dynamic voltage and frequency scaling is widely used. == Applications == {| class="wikitable" |+ !Domain !Example !Role of the Embedded System |- |Industry |Mobile robots and robotic arms |Motion control and safety |- |Logistics |Warehouse shuttles |Navigation and fleet communication |- |Agriculture |Autonomous tractors and harvesters |GNSS navigation and vision |- |Healthcare |Surgical and rehabilitation robots |Precise force and position control |- |Home |Robot vacuum cleaners |Low cost SLAM and cliff detection |- |Aerospace and defence |UAVs and planetary rovers |Flight control and radiation tolerant design |- |Underwater |Autonomous underwater vehicles |Low-power navigation and sealed electronics |- |Automotive |Self driving cars |Sensor fusion and ISO 26262 safety |} == Challenges and Future Trends == === Challenges: === # Strict limits on power, size, weight and cost. # Keeping timing guarantees while running heavy AI workloads. # Sensor noise, drift and failure in unpredictable surroundings. # Testing and certifying software that learns from data. # Protecting connected robots from cyber attacks. # Handling heat and keeping hardware reliable over many years. === Trends: === * Mixed SoCs that combine CPU, GPU, NPU and real time cores on one chip. * TinyML and neuromorphic chips for very low power intelligence. * Micro ROS and ROS2 bringing standard robot middleware to small MCUs. * Open hardware and simulation based testing. * Swarm robotics and fleets linked over 5G and 6G. * Secure over the air software updates. * Foundation models and vision language models that guide robot behaviour. == Summary == An Autonomous Robot is only as capable as the embedded system driving it. That system ties sensing, decision making and movement together in one fast, tightly timed loop. Getting it right means picking hardware that fits the job, writing software that responds predictably, using solid control and estimation maths, and building in safety, security and power efficiency from the start. == Review Questions == # Explain the difference between a microcontroller and a microprocessor.

It can also be described as a dedicated computer system, which has been developed to perform a particular set of tasks. But it is not our traditional computer system or general purpose computers. These are the Embedded systems that may work independently or attached to a larger system to work on a few specific functions. These embedded systems can work without human intervention or with little human intervention. [[File:Autonomous robot.jpg|508x508px|left]] '''Autonomous robots''', from warehouse carrier to mars rover, depends on a small computer hidden inside it. That computer reads sensors, make decisions and drives motors, usually many times per second and without a human in the loop. This computer is an embedded system. This chapter explains what Embedded systems are, how they are built into autonomous robots, which hardware and software they use, the mathematics behind their control and navigation, and where the field is heading. '''What to expect from this page:''' * Define Embedded System, Autonomous Robot, real time system and RTOS. * Express the Sense, Think, Act architecture of a robot. * Compare microcontrollers, microprocessors, DSPs, FPGAs, SoCs, and AI accelerators. * Explain common sensors, actuators and communication buses. * Apply the key formulas: PWM, ADC, resolution, encoder counts, differential-drive Kinematics, PID, Kalman filtering, and real time schedulability. * Describe safety, security and power constraints, and future trends. == Introduction to Embedded Systems in Autonomous Robotics: == '''Embedded Systems in Autonomous Robotics''' refer to the combination of dedicated computing hardware and specialized software integrated into robotic machines to perform sensing, data processing, decision making, communication, and motion control in real time. Envision a robot weaving its way through a busy room with obstacles and interferences, it spots those obstacles, and interferences, recognizes familiar objects, figures out where it is and chooses the safest route to its goal all on its own without anyone guiding it. Now the question that arises, How does a machine perform these activities without anyone controlling it manually? The brain behind this robots moving like a living organism, to have a mind of its own to think, analyze, and determine the right path towards its journey is the integration of Embedded systems, sensors, processors, control algorithms, and intelligent software. Modern autonomous robots are not simply mechanical structures equipped with motors. They are complex electronic systems capable of collecting information from their surroundings, processing that information in making decisions and performing physical actions. [[File:Visual robotics.jpg|right|606x606px]] An Autonomous robot continuously performs four fundamental operations: # Sensing: Collecting information from the environment using sensors embedded on the mechanical robot structure. # Processing: Analyzing the collected information using embedded processors. # Decision making: Selecting an appropriate action based on algorithms and environmental conditions from the set of available options on the field for the right course of goal. # Actuation: Executing the selected action through motors, servos, and other actuators. For example, consider an autonomous delivery robot operating inside a closed room with obstacles on its path: * LIDAR sensor measures distances to its surrounding objects. * Depth cameras identify obstacles and environmental structures. * An embedded processor processes the sensor information. * Navigation algorithms calculate a safe path. * Motor controllers receive commands to move the wheels. * Feedback sensors continuously monitor the robot's movement. === Beforehand we get in detail about Embedded systems in Autonomous Robotics there some terms we have to get familiar with, which are: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !S.NO !Terms !Definition |- |1. |Embedded Systems |A dedicated computing system built into a larger device to perform specific functions, usually with real-time and resource constraints. |- |2. |Robot |A programmable machine that senses its environment and acts on it through actuators. |- |3. |Autonomous Robot |A robot that performs tasks and makes decisions in an unstructured environment without continuous human control. |- |4. |Microcontroller (MCU) |A single chip containing a CPU, memory and peripherals (timers, ADC, URAT, etc.). |- |5. |Microprocessor (MPU) |A CPU that needs external memory and peripherals, run full operating system such as Linux. |- |6. |Firmware |Software stored in non-volatile memory that runs directly on the embedded hardware. |- |7. |Real Time System |A system whose correctness depends on both the result and the time at which it is produced. |- |8. |Hard real-Time |Missing a deadline is a system failure (eg: airbag, motor current loop). |- |9. |Soft real-time |Missing a deadline degrades quality but is tolerable (eg: video streaming). |- |10. |RTOS |A real-time operating system that guarantees bounded, predictable task response. |- |11. |Latency |Delay between an event (sensor change) and the system response. |- |12. |Jitter |The small variation in timing of a task that is supposed to repeat at exact intervals. |- |13. |Actuator |A device that converts energy and control signals into physical motion. |- |14. |SLAM |Simultaneous Localization and Mapping: building a map while tracking position inside it. |- |15. |Degrees of freedom (DOF) |The number of independent, individual movements or parameters a robot joint or end effector can make in space. |} ====== If a question arises that, Why do we have to use Embedded Systems instead of a general PC? ====== To answer this primarily we need to understand that Robots need low power, small size, low cost, deterministic timing and direct hardware access. A desktop OS cannot guarantee that a motor control loop runs every 1ms, an embedded controller with an RTOS can meet these requirements of cost cutting. ===== Relationship between Embedded Systems and Robotics: ===== {| class="wikitable" |+ !Embedded Systems !Autonomous Robotics |- |Process sensor inputs |Understand the environment |- |Execute firmware |Perform robotic tasks |- |Control electronic hardware |Control movement and interaction |- |Manage communication |Coordinate robotic subsystems |- |Handle real time operations |Respond to environmental changes |} Embedded systems provide the computational intelligence that allows a robot to transform sensor information into physical actions. === The Sense, Think, Act Architecture: === Almost every autonomous robot works in a repeating cycle. It first senses the world (its surroundings), then thinks about what it found on its path and finally analyzes and acts upon it accordingly through follow the right course. [[File:Sense-Think Act.jpg|center]] The controller is the core of everything. Signals from the sensors is filtered and converted into numbers, which are further processed by the controller in three stages, and the output leaves in the form of power signals for the motors. The motors affect the environment, the sensors detect the changes, and the cycle begins again. === The layered view: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Layer !Typical rate !Typical Hardware !Example task |- |Reactive (low level) |1-20 KHz |MCU |Motor current loop, reading encoders. |- |Control |100Hz - 1KHz |MCU with an RTOS |Wheel speed PID, balance control. |- |Perception |10-60Hz |SoC, GPU or NPU |Object detection, SLAM. |- |Planning and mission |1-10Hz |Application processor |Path planning, behaviour logic. |- |Cloud and fleet |seconds or more |Remote Server |Fleet management, map sharing. |} == Hardware of the Robot Brain: == The hardware of a robot brain is a mix of processor, memory, sensors, actuators and the circuits that connect them. Each part is chosen to match the speed, power and cost that needs of that job. # '''Processing Platforms:''' No single chip is best for every task, so robots often combine several type of chips whose performance varies on the task it is performing. A small MCU handles fast motor control. while a stronger processor or an AI chip handles vision and planning. {| class="wikitable" |+ !Platform !Strengths !Weaknesses !Typical robot use |- |MCU (ARM Cortex-M, AVR, ESP32) |Low power, low cost, predictable timing, many built-in peripherals. |Limited speed and memory. |Motor control, reading sensors. |- |MPU or application processor (ARM Cortex-A) |Runs Linux, plenty of memory |Less predictable timing, uses more power. |High level planning, ROS2. |- |DSP (Digital Signal Processing) |Very fast at repeated multiply and add maths |Narrow range of uses. |Filtering, audio, radar. |- |FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) |Does many things in parallel, very low delay. |Harder to program |Camera pipelines, fast motor loops. |- |GPU, NPU or TPU |Runs neural networks quickly. |High power use. |Object detection, perception. |- |SoC (system on chip) |Puts CPU, GPU and NPU on one chip. |Complex and costly |Modern autonomous platforms. |} === Inside a microcontroller: === A Microcontroller is a complete small computer on one chip. Basically the microcontroller consists of a processor, peripherals, and specified I/O pins on one single board. The CPU, the memory and all the peripherals are joined by one internal bus, so any of them can exchange data. [[File:Internal structure of MCU.png|left|542x542px]] ===== Simplified internal structure of an MCU: ===== Key peripherals # '''Timers and PWM:''' Produce precise pulses to control motor speed or servo angle. # '''ADC (Analog to Digital converter):''' Turns a sensor's changing voltage continuous signal into binary form so that the CPU can analyze. # '''DMA (Direct Memory Access):''' Moves data around without using the CPU, which leaves more time for control code. # '''Interrupt Controller:''' Lets urgent events, such as an encoder pulse or an emergency stop, pause normal code immediately. === Memory Types: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Memory''' !Keeps data without Power? !Use in robotics |- |Flash |Yes |Firmware and Calibration data |- |SRAM |No |Variables, stacks and buffers |- |DRAM |No |Large buffers such as images and maps (on MPU or SoC) |- |EEPROM or FRAM |Yes |Settings and logs |} === Sensors: === Sensors are the robot's senses. Some measure the robot itself (its wheel turns and tilt), and others measure the surroundings around it (distance and images). {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Sensor''' !What it measures !How it works !Typical output |- |Rotary encoder |Wheel or joint angle and speed |Optical or magnetic pulses |Digital pulses |- |IMU (Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer) |Acceleration, turn rate and heading |Tiny MEMS structures |I2C or SPI digital data |- |Ultrasonic |Distance, from centimetres to metres |Time taken by a sound echo |Pulse width |- |Infrared or time of flight |Short range distance |Reflected light |Analog voltage or I2C |- |LiDAR |Distance scan, 2D or 3D point cloud |Time taken by laser light to return |UART or Ethernet |- |Camera |Images |CMOS image sensor |MIPI or USB |- |GPS / GNSS |Position on Earth |Timing signals from satellites |UART (NMEA text) |- |Current sensor |Motor current |Hall effect or shunt resistor |Analog voltage |- |Force or torque sensor |Contact forces |Strain gauge |Analog voltage |} === actuators and motor drives: === Actuators make the robot move. The embedded controller cannot power a motor directly, because its pins supply only a tiny current. A motor driver sits in between and switches the larger motor current on command. {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Actuator''' !Main features !Typical use |- |Brushed DC motor |Simple and Cheap |Small wheeled robots |- |Brushless DC (BLDC) motor |Efficient and long lasting, needs a special controller |Drones, wheel hub motors |- |Stepper motor |Moves in fixed steps, position without feedback |3D printers, simple arms |- |Servo motor |Has a built in position control loop |Hobby arms, grippers |- |Linear actuator |Moves in a straight line |lifting mechanisms |- |Pneumatic or hydraulic |Very high force |Industrial and heavy robots |} A common motor driver for DC motors is the H-bridge. It uses four switches arranged like the letter H, with motor in the middle. By closing a different pair of switches, the controller can reverse the motor, brake it or let it spin freely. Figure 3 shows the idea. [[File:H bridge motor drive.png|center|539x539px]] == Software of the Robot Brain == Hardware alone does nothing. The software tells the processor how to read the sensors input, make decisions based on those inputs and drive the motors. In a robot, this software is arranged in layers, So each layer can be built and tested on its own. === The Software Stack: === At the bottom is the hardware, and just above it sits the code that hides hardware details from the rest of system. The operating system then shares the processor between tasks, and the higher layers hold the algorithms and the robot's overall mission [[File:Software stack.png|center|555x555px]] === Programming Languages: === * C and C++: The most common choices for firmware and real-time code, because they give direct control over memory and hardware. * Python: Often used for high-level logic, quick prototypes and AI tools. * Rust: A newer language that is growing in popularity because it prevents many memory errors. * VHDL and Verilog: Languages that describe the circuits inside an FPGA. * MATLAB and Simulink: Used for model-based design, and they can generate C code automatically. === RTOS concepts: === An RTOS splits the software into separate tasks, which are small programs that run side by side. A scheduler decides which task gets the processor at any moment, and it always favours the most priority one. {| class="wikitable" |+ |Concept |Meaning |- |Task |An independent piece of code with its own stack of memory. |- |Priority |An indication concept showing how urgent a task is, where a higher priority runs first. |- |Preemption |Pausing a running task so a more urgent one can start. |- |Semaphore or Mutex |A lock that lets tasks take turns using a shared resource. |- |Queue |A safe way to pass data between tasks or from an interrupt. |- |ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) |A short piece of code that runs the moment a hardware event happens. |- |Priority Inversion |A low-priority task blocks a high-priority one,which is fixed priority inheritance. |} === Typical firmware Flow: === Most robot firmware follows the same pattern. It starts up, checks itself, and then repeats a loop of reading, deciding and acting. A timer interrupt runs the fast control loop at a fixed rate while the main loop handles slower work. If a fault is found at any time, the robot moves to safe state and stops the motors. [[File:Robot Firmware.png|center|681x681px]] == Essential Formulas == This section collects the formulas that embedded robotics designers use most often. Each one is explained in words and followed by a small worked example, so the maths can be checked by hand. === PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) (motor speed control): === Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switches the supply on and off very quickly. The longer the supply stays on in each cycle, the higher the average voltage the motor receives, and the faster it turns. * <math>\begin{aligned} D &= \frac{T_{on}}{T_{period}} \\ V_{avg} &= D \times V_{supply} \\ f_{PWM} &= \frac{1}{T_{period}} \end{aligned}</math> Here D is the Duty Cycle, which is the fraction of each period that signal is on. For instance: with a 12v supply and a 60% duty cycle, V_avg =0.6 x 12 = 7.2V. === ADC resolution: === An ADC with N bits splits its reference voltage into 2^N equal steps. The size of one step is called the LSB, and it sets the smallest change the robot can detect. * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{LSB} &= \frac{V_{ref}}{2^{N}} \\ \text{Digital value} &= \frac{V_{in}}{V_{ref}} \times (2^{N}-1) \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12 bit ADC with V_ref = 3.3V has a step of 3.3 / 4096 ≈ 0.806mV. === Encoder measurements: === An encoder produces a fixed number of pulses for each turn of the wheel, called PPR (pulses per revolution). A quadrate encoder has two signals, so the controller can count four edges per pulse. This gives CPR, the counts per revolution. * <math>\begin{aligned} CPR &= PPR \times 4 \\ \text{Wheel speed (rev/s)} &= \frac{\Delta \text{counts}}{CPR \times \Delta t} \\ \text{Distance} &= \frac{\text{counts}}{CPR} \times 2\pi r \end{aligned}</math> Example: With PPR = 500, CPR = 2000. For a wheel of radius 5 cm, 2000 counts mean one full turn, which is 2π(0.05) ≈ 0.314m of travel. === Ultrasonic and time of flight distance: === These sensors send out a pulse and time how long the echo takes to return. Pulse travels to the object and back, so the result is divided by two. * <math>\begin{aligned} d &= \frac{v \times t}{2} \\ v_{sound} &\approx 331.3 + 0.606\,T \ \text{m/s} \\ d_{LiDAR} &= \frac{c \times t}{2}, \quad c = 3\times10^{8}\ \text{m/s} \end{aligned}</math> In these formulas T is the air temperature in degree centigrade and c is the speed of light. === Differential drive kinematics: === Many small robots have two driven wheels on either side. Steering is done by running the wheels at different speeds. Let r be the wheel radius, L the distance between the wheels, and ωR and ωL the wheel speeds. [[File:Differential Drive.png|right|460x460px]] The forward speed V and the robot's turn rate ω follow from the two wheels speeds: * <math>\begin{aligned} v &= \frac{r(\omega_R + \omega_L)}{2} \\ \omega &= \frac{r(\omega_R - \omega_L)}{L} \end{aligned}</math> The controller updates the pose in small time steps Δt. This method is called odometry: * <math>\begin{aligned} x_{new} &= x + v\cos\theta\,\Delta t \\ y_{new} &= y + v\sin\theta\,\Delta t \\ \theta_{new} &= \theta + \omega\,\Delta t \end{aligned}</math> Going the other way, the wheel speeds needed for a wanted speed V and turn rate ω are: * <math>\begin{aligned} \omega_R &= \frac{2v + \omega L}{2r} \\ \omega_L &= \frac{2v - \omega L}{2r} \end{aligned}</math> === PID control: === A PID controller is the most common way to hold a value, such as wheel speed, at a target. It looks at the error e, which is the setpoint minus the measured value, and combines three parts. the P part reacts to the present error, the I part adds up past error, and the D part reacts to how fast the error changing. * <math>\begin{aligned} u(t) &= K_p\,e(t) + K_i \int e(t)\,dt + K_d \frac{de(t)}{dt} \\ u[k] &= K_p\,e[k] + K_i\,T \sum_{i} e[i] + K_d\,\frac{e[k]-e[k-1]}{T} \end{aligned}</math> The second line is the discrete form that firmware actually runs, where T is the sample time. [[File:PID controller.png|left|525x525px]] {| class="wikitable" |+ !Gain !What happens when it is increased |- |Kp |Faster response, but more overshoot and possible oscillation |- |ki |Removes the leftover steady error, but can cause windup |- |Kd |Adds damping and reduces overshoot, but amplifies noise |} Anti windup: When the output is already at its limit, the integral part keeps growing and later causes a large overshoot. To prevent this, the integral is clamped or paused while the output is saturated. === Sensor fusion: === Every sensor has weaknesses. A gyroscope is smooth but drifts over time, while an accelerometer is noisy but does not drift. Sensor fusion combines them to get a better estimate than either could give alone. The complementary filter is the simplest method. It trusts the gyroscope for quick changes and the accelerometer for the long term average: * <math>\theta_{est} = \alpha\,(\theta_{est} + \omega_{gyro}\,\Delta t) + (1-\alpha)\,\theta_{accel}, \quad \alpha \approx 0.95 \text{ to } 0.99</math> The Kalman filter is a more powerful method that gives the best estimate for linear systems with Gaussian noise. It repeats two steps, predict and update: * <math>\begin{aligned} \hat{x}^- &= A\hat{x} + Bu \\ P^- &= A P A^{T} + Q \\ K &= P^- H^{T}\,(H P^- H^{T} + R)^{-1} \\ \hat{x} &= \hat{x}^- + K\,(z - H\hat{x}^-) \\ P &= (I - KH)\,P^- \end{aligned}</math> Here x is the state, P is the uncertainty, Q is the process noise, R is the measurement noise, Z is the new measurement and K is the Kalman gain. For nonlinear systems, robots use the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) or particle filters. === Path Planning with A*: === A* finds the cheapest route across a map. For each location n it adds the cost already spent, g(n), to a guess of the cost still to come, h(n), and always explores the lowest total first. * <math>\begin{aligned} f(n) &= g(n) + h(n) \\ h_{Euclid} &= \sqrt{(x_g-x_n)^2 + (y_g-y_n)^2} \\ h_{Manhattan} &= |x_g-x_n| + |y_g-y_n| \end{aligned}</math> A* gives the best path as long as h never overestimates the real remaining cost. Such a guess is called admissible. === Real time schedulability: === Before a design is accepted, its designer must check that every periodic task can meet its deadline. For n tasks with run time C_i and period T_i, the CPU utilization is the sum of C_i / T_i. Rate Monotonic (RM) scheduling gives fixed priority to the tasks with the shortest periods. Earliest Deadline First (EDF) always runs the task whose deadline is closest. * <math>\begin{aligned} U &= \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{C_i}{T_i} \\ U_{RM} &\le n\left(2^{1/n}-1\right) \\ U_{EDF} &\le 1 \end{aligned}</math> Example: Take three tasks with (C = 1ms, T = 5ms), (C = 2ms, T = 10ms) and (C = 3ms, T = 20ms). Then U = 0.20 + 0.20 +0.15 =0.55. The RM bound for three tasks is 0.78, so the task set is schedulable. [[File:RM CPU.png|center|815x815px]] Chart 1, with three tasks the RM guarantee is 78.0%, so the 55% example above passes easily. EDF accepts any setup to 100%. === Power and battery: === The battery size decides how long the robot can work. Energy is voltage time capacity, and runtime is the usable capacity divided by the average current. * <math>\begin{aligned} P &= V \times I \\ E_{Wh} &= V \times Ah \\ \text{Runtime (h)} &= \frac{\text{capacity (Ah)} \times \text{usable fraction}}{\text{average current (A)}} \end{aligned}</math> Example: A 12V, 5 Ah pack with 80% usable capacity and a 2 A average load runs for 5 x 0.8/2 = 2hours. [[File:Battery runtime vs average current draw.png|center|779x779px]] Chart 2, Only loads of 1A or less meet a 4 hour runtime target on this pack. === Control Loop timing budget: === A control loop must finish its work before the next cycle begins. The worst case execution time (WCET) must therefore stay below the loop period, and the total delay from sensor to actuator should be kept small. * <math>\begin{aligned} T &= \frac{1}{f_{loop}} \\ WCET &< T \\ t_{latency} &= t_{sense} + t_{compute} + t_{comm} + t_{actuate} \end{aligned}</math> == Perception and Edge AI == Modern robots run machine learning models directly on their own hardware, this is called Edge AI. It avoids the delay of sending data to a remote server, and it keeps working when the network connection is lost. A typical perception pipeline starts with raw sensor data and ends with a controller command. Each step prepares the data for the next one. [[File:PERCEPTION TO ACTION PIPELINE.png|center|727x727px]] The main techniques used in this process are: * Object detection and segmentation with convolutional neural networks, which find and outline object in images. * Visual odometry and SLAM, which estimate the robot's movement and build a map. * Sensor fusion of camera, LiDAR, radar and IMU data, so that one failing sensor does not blind the robot. * Model optimization for small hardware, using quantization (replacing 32-bit decimals with 8-bit integers),pruning (removing unneeded connections) and distillation (training a small model to copy a large one). Two simple measures help compare AI chips: * <math>\begin{aligned} \text{FPS} &= \frac{1}{\text{latency}} \\ \text{Efficiency} &= \frac{\text{TOPS}}{\text{Watt}} \end{aligned}</math> FPS is the number of frames processed each second, and TOPS means trillions of operations per second. == Navigation and Decision Making == Navigation answers three questions: where is the robot, where should it go, and how can it get there without hitting anything. === The navigation stack: === Navigation software is usually split into global planner, which finds a route across the whole map, and a local planner, which adjusts the path in real time around nearby obstacles. Both depend on an up to date obstacle map, called a costmap. [[File:Navigation Stack.png|center|634x634px]] === Obstacle avoidance decision flow: === The simplest form of avoidance is reactive. The robot reads its distance sensors, checks the way ahead, and only changes direction if something is too close. [[File:Obstacle Avoidance.png|center|798x798px]] === Behaviour approaches: === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Approach !Main idea !Advantages !Disadvantages |- |Reactive |Sensor readings directly trigger actions |Fast and simple |No long term planning |- |Deliberative |Plan from a model of the world |Finds good paths |Slow and depends on the model |- |Hybrid |Reactive base with a planner above it |A good balance |More complex |- |Behaviour trees and state machines |Organized task logic |Easy to read and reuse |Needs careful design |- |Learning based |A policy learned from data |Handles complex situations |Hard to verify |} == Safety, Reliability, and Security == A robot that moves in the real world can hurt people or damage property in case malfunction of that robot, so safety is the most priority given in part of design of robot since day one. Several international standards guide this work: * IEC 61508 (general functional safety), * ISO 13849 and ISO 10218 (machinery and industrial robots), * ISO 26262 (road vehicles) and * ISO 13482 (personal care robots). {| class="wikitable" |+ !Technique !Purpose |- |Watchdog timers |Restart the system if the software locks up |- |Emergency stop (E-Stop) |Cut power to the actuators using hardware alone |- |Redundancy (two sensors or two processors) |Keep working safely after a single failure |- |Fail Safe state |Move to a harmless condition, usually stopped, when a fault appears |- |Memory protection (MPU) |Stop a faulty task from damaging other tasks |- |Self test and diagnostics |Find faults early, before they cause harm |- |Over current and over temperature protection |Protect motors and batteries from damage |} '''Reliability:''' A common measure is availability, which is the fraction of time the system is working. It is calculated as MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR), where MTBF is the mean time between failures and MTTR is the mean time to repair. '''Security:''' A robot connected to a network can be attacked like any other computer. Good practice includes secure boot, signed firmware updates, encrypted communication, strong access control and giving each part only the permissions it needs. == Power Management == Power is one of the biggest limits in robot design, because more battery means more weight and more cost. * '''Batteries:''' Lithium ion and LiPo packs stores a lot of energy for their weight. They need a battery management system (BMS) that balances the cells and guards against over voltage, under voltage and high temperature. * '''Regulators:''' Buck converts step the voltage down efficiently, while LDO regulators are quiet but waste the difference as heat. * '''Efficiency:''' The share of input power that reaches the load, calculated as η = P_out / P_in. * '''Low power techniques:''' Sleep modes, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, switching off sensors that are not in use, and efficient algorithms. * '''Dynamic power of a CPU:''' Roughly P = C x V² x f, so having the volatage cuts dynamic power to about a quarter. [[File:CPU Power saving.png|center|772x772px]] Chart 3, Lowering the voltage saves far more power than lowering the frequency alone, which is why dynamic voltage and frequency scaling is widely used. == Applications == {| class="wikitable" |+ !Domain !Example !Role of the Embedded System |- |Industry |Mobile robots and robotic arms |Motion control and safety |- |Logistics |Warehouse shuttles |Navigation and fleet communication |- |Agriculture |Autonomous tractors and harvesters |GNSS navigation and vision |- |Healthcare |Surgical and rehabilitation robots |Precise force and position control |- |Home |Robot vacuum cleaners |Low cost SLAM and cliff detection |- |Aerospace and defence |UAVs and planetary rovers |Flight control and radiation tolerant design |- |Underwater |Autonomous underwater vehicles |Low-power navigation and sealed electronics |- |Automotive |Self driving cars |Sensor fusion and ISO 26262 safety |} == Challenges and Future Trends == === Challenges: === # Strict limits on power, size, weight and cost. # Keeping timing guarantees while running heavy AI workloads. # Sensor noise, drift and failure in unpredictable surroundings. # Testing and certifying software that learns from data. # Protecting connected robots from cyber attacks. # Handling heat and keeping hardware reliable over many years. === Trends: === * Mixed SoCs that combine CPU, GPU, NPU and real time cores on one chip. * TinyML and neuromorphic chips for very low power intelligence. * Micro ROS and ROS2 bringing standard robot middleware to small MCUs. * Open hardware and simulation based testing. * Swarm robotics and fleets linked over 5G and 6G. * Secure over the air software updates. * Foundation models and vision language models that guide robot behaviour. == Summary == An Autonomous Robot is only as capable as the embedded system driving it. That system ties sensing, decision making and movement together in one fast, tightly timed loop. Getting it right means picking hardware that fits the job, writing software that responds predictably, using solid control and estimation maths, and building in safety, security and power efficiency from the start. == Review Questions == # Explain the difference between a microcontroller and a microprocessor.

Cameras are used to give vision information of the world. However a camera will not give the robot intelligence. The robot must be able to recognize relevant events taking place. Using event driven robotics vision, relevant vision information can be extracted. When there is a significant change or event detected, the robot will process the vision information. For example, if a mobile robot was moving around a room, when a person suddenly walked in front of it, the robot must realize this change has occurred. Using event driven vision, the robot can detect the change and react. It may slow down, stop or choose a different path. This is an interesting area as autonomous robots may have unexpected changes in their environment. The robot may encounter moving objects, varying lighting conditions, unknown obstacles or unanticipated human interaction. Therefore the robot must work with its vision system, decision making and movement. Throughout this book you will learn the principals, elements and how to implement event driven robotics vision. This includes detecting events, processing vision information, communicating with the robot and real time applications. == '''Objectives of this book''' == ===== Once you have studied this book you will understand: ===== * The basic concept of Event Driven Robotics Vision * How to detect and interpret changes in vision * The difference between traditional frame based vision and event driven vision * How cameras and vision sensors are used in autonomous robots * How to use vision events to cause the robot to do something. * How perception, decision making and movement are linked. * How to create basic event driven vision applications using programming tools. * Why Event Driven Vision? Traditionally computer vision systems use periodic processing of vision information. Depending on the application many frames may be processed which may not contain any significant changes. However using event driven methods can allow us to create different vision systems. Events can be detected and the vision processing can be based around these events. This does not guarantee that an event driven system will be fast or efficient. It will depend on the camera used, how events are detected, the processing hardware and what the robot is doing. Overall the aim is to link vision information with relevant changes in robot behavior. == '''Scope of This Book''' == ==== This book covers ==== # Event Based Vision: Using sensors that detect changes in brightness. This is often done per pixel and asynchronously. These can be used together to create robotic systems. The chapters will start with basic concepts and then move into applications and techniques. == '''Chapter-1 Fundamentals''' == ==== 1.1 Visual Events ==== Visual events are changes detected from visual data. This can come from moving objects, changes in lighting, new objects coming into view or objects leaving the view. Traditional computer vision will capture images from a camera at a set rate. These are then processed to gain understanding of the environment. Event-Based Vision uses special cameras to detect individual changes in brightness. ===== There are four key pieces of information contained within an event from an event camera. ===== <blockquote> X coordinate: The horizontal position of the pixel. Y coordinate: The vertical position of the pixel. Timestamp: When the change in brightness occurred. Polarity: Whether the brightness has increased or decreased. </blockquote>This allows the processing system to gain an understanding of where and when the visual change occurred. ===== A basic visual event can be shown below. ===== <blockquote> Event = (x, y, t, p) </blockquote>Where x and y are the coordinates of the pixel, t is the time stamp and p is the polarity. For example, if an object is moving in front of an event camera, multiple pixels will generate events. The robot can use the location and time stamps to gain an understanding of the objects movement. ==== 1.2 How an Event Camera Works ==== Event cameras use special pixels, which constantly detect changes in light intensity. Unlike traditional cameras, which tend to capture full images at set intervals, an event camera will produce an output if the brightness change at a pixel reaches a certain threshold.<blockquote>'''The general working process can be described in the following stages''' # Light is detected BY the cameras sensor. # Pixels detect any changes in brightness. # Pixels compare the brightness change to a threshold. # If it meets the threshold, an event is produced. # An event is given a time stamp. # Events are sent to a computer or robotic controller for processing. </blockquote>Events can be produced at any point, meaning different pixels can produce events at different times. The comparison illustrates an important difference: conventional cameras produce complete image frames, whereas event cameras produce information associated with brightness changes. ==== 1.3 Traditional vs Event Cameras ==== [[File:Old and new cameras.png|thumb|362x362px|New and old camera]] Both traditional and event cameras can be useful for robotic vision. They just collect the data differently. Traditional cameras will capture full image frames at a chosen frame rate. Event cameras will detect changes in brightness from individual pixels and produce events as they happen. Neither camera will be better in all situations. Which ever camera you choose will depend on what environment you are working in, what processing is needed, what hardware you have available and what your robot needs to do. Traditional cameras can give more detail about the looks and colors of the scene. However, event cameras can be very useful if there are fast changes, fast movement or difficult lighting conditions. ====== 1.4 Event Generation and Polarity ====== A key aspect of event Based Vision is polarity. If the pixel detects enough of an increase in brightness, a positive event can be produced. If it detects enough of a decrease in brightness, a negative event can be produced. ====== These events are often split into two categories based on their polarity. ====== Positive polarity (+1): Increase in brightness. Negative polarity (-1): Decrease in brightness. For example, if an object was moving across a bright background, the boundary of the dark object will move across the sensor. The pixels will detect changes from bright to dark and dark to bright. This produces events that give useful information about the changing position of the object. It is important to note that events do not give a full description of the object. Events are just changes in brightness and further processing is needed for object identification and determining movement.

Cameras are used to give vision information of the world. However a camera will not give the robot intelligence. The robot must be able to recognize relevant events taking place. Using event driven robotics vision, relevant vision information can be extracted. When there is a significant change or event detected, the robot will process the vision information. For example, if a mobile robot was moving around a room, when a person suddenly walked in front of it, the robot must realize this change has occurred. Using event driven vision, the robot can detect the change and react. It may slow down, stop or choose a different path. This is an interesting area as autonomous robots may have unexpected changes in their environment. The robot may encounter moving objects, varying lighting conditions, unknown obstacles or unanticipated human interaction. Therefore the robot must work with its vision system, decision making and movement. Throughout this book you will learn the principals, elements and how to implement event driven robotics vision. This includes detecting events, processing vision information, communicating with the robot and real time applications. == '''Objectives of this book''' == ===== Once you have studied this book you will understand: ===== * The basic concept of Event Driven Robotics Vision * How to detect and interpret changes in vision * The difference between traditional frame based vision and event driven vision * How cameras and vision sensors are used in autonomous robots * How to use vision events to cause the robot to do something. * How perception, decision making and movement are linked. * How to create basic event driven vision applications using programming tools. * Why Event Driven Vision? Traditionally computer vision systems use periodic processing of vision information. Depending on the application many frames may be processed which may not contain any significant changes. However using event driven methods can allow us to create different vision systems. Events can be detected and the vision processing can be based around these events. This does not guarantee that an event driven system will be fast or efficient. It will depend on the camera used, how events are detected, the processing hardware and what the robot is doing. Overall the aim is to link vision information with relevant changes in robot behavior. == '''Scope of This Book''' == ==== This book covers ==== # Event Based Vision: Using sensors that detect changes in brightness. This is often done per pixel and asynchronously. These can be used together to create robotic systems. The chapters will start with basic concepts and then move into applications and techniques. == '''Chapter-1 Fundamentals''' == ==== 1.1 Visual Events ==== Visual events are changes detected from visual data. This can come from moving objects, changes in lighting, new objects coming into view or objects leaving the view. Traditional computer vision will capture images from a camera at a set rate. These are then processed to gain understanding of the environment. Event-Based Vision uses special cameras to detect individual changes in brightness. ===== There are four key pieces of information contained within an event from an event camera. ===== <blockquote> X coordinate: The horizontal position of the pixel. Y coordinate: The vertical position of the pixel. Timestamp: When the change in brightness occurred. Polarity: Whether the brightness has increased or decreased. </blockquote>This allows the processing system to gain an understanding of where and when the visual change occurred. ===== A basic visual event can be shown below. ===== <blockquote> Event = (x, y, t, p) </blockquote>Where x and y are the coordinates of the pixel, t is the time stamp and p is the polarity. For example, if an object is moving in front of an event camera, multiple pixels will generate events. The robot can use the location and time stamps to gain an understanding of the objects movement. ==== 1.2 How an Event Camera Works ==== Event cameras use special pixels, which constantly detect changes in light intensity. Unlike traditional cameras, which tend to capture full images at set intervals, an event camera will produce an output if the brightness change at a pixel reaches a certain threshold.<blockquote>'''The general working process can be described in the following stages''' # Light is detected BY the cameras sensor. # Pixels detect any changes in brightness. # Pixels compare the brightness change to a threshold. # If it meets the threshold, an event is produced. # An event is given a time stamp. # Events are sent to a computer or robotic controller for processing. </blockquote>Events can be produced at any point, meaning different pixels can produce events at different times. The comparison illustrates an important difference: conventional cameras produce complete image frames, whereas event cameras produce information associated with brightness changes. ==== 1.3 Traditional vs Event Cameras ==== [[File:Old and new cameras.png|thumb|362x362px|New and old camera]] Both traditional and event cameras can be useful for robotic vision. They just collect the data differently. Traditional cameras will capture full image frames at a chosen frame rate. Event cameras will detect changes in brightness from individual pixels and produce events as they happen. Neither camera will be better in all situations. Which ever camera you choose will depend on what environment you are working in, what processing is needed, what hardware you have available and what your robot needs to do. Traditional cameras can give more detail about the looks and colors of the scene. However, event cameras can be very useful if there are fast changes, fast movement or difficult lighting conditions. ====== 1.4 Event Generation and Polarity ====== A key aspect of event Based Vision is polarity.

These robots are made up of many components, including sensors, embedded processors, communications links and machine-learning software. The ethical and legal issues that arise are thus related both to the design of the electronics and to the laws that govern these creations. This chapter presents a description of the architecture of autonomous robots in terms of the technologies used in the various modules and connects each module to specific issues, such as safety, accountability for accidents, privacy, cybersecurity, bias, and intellectual property. The chapter distinguishes the Indian law from foreign regulations and also from voluntary standards, provides a description of ISO, IEC, and IEEE documents used in this field, and analyses a few cases of practical application of the technology as well as the duties of ECE graduate students. '''Keywords:''' Autonomous Robots, Robotics Ethics, Artificial Intelligence, Engineering Ethics, Robot Safety, Accountability, Data Privacy, Cybersecurity, Legal Compliance. == '''Introduction''' == A robot is defined as a machine that is able to do certain tasks by observing its surroundings, processing information, and acting with very little or no continuous intervention by humans. A robot is created by combining different electronic hardware, embedded systems, sensors, communication technologies, and intelligent software in order to communicate with the environment. With the advancement of the field of autonomous robotics, new possibilities have emerged making it possible for robots to be used in many engineering areas. Industrial robots are used for production and assembly, robots in healthcare help medical staff and autonomous mobile robots assist in agriculture, supply chain and transportation. However, with more independence of robotic systems important ethical issues are raised. For instance, in case of an accident, an autonomous vehicle can make a certain choice in a crucial moment, a healthcare robot can collect sensitive information about a patient and an industrial robot can become a cause of an accident if its control system fails. These situations create questions on the responsibility for accidents, how to protect personal information, and how engineers can guarantee that robotic systems work safely. Hence, the design of autonomous robots should not concentrate solely on technical efficacy. Engineers also need to think about issues such as human safety, privacy, fairness, responsibility, and legality throughout the entire cycle of operation of the robot. == '''Fundamentals of Autonomous Robots''' == A self-governing robot is a sophisticated machine that is capable of sensing the environment, interpreting it and carrying out the required task without the continuous need for human guidance. The process of the work of a self-moving robot generally consists of three main steps: 1. Sensing: Getting information from the environment. 2. Processing: Analysing data and making decisions. 3. Acting: Carrying out actions based on early decisions. These three steps make up the sense-think-act cycle which is a basic principle of work of many self-operating robots. === <u>'''Electronic Architecture of Autonomous Robots'''</u> === [[File:Sense-Think-Act Architecture of Autonomous Robots.jpg|alt=Block diagram showing sensors connected to processors and actuators, with a communication and security layer linking the components. Ethical concerns include safety, privacy, bias and cybersecurity.|center|754x754px]] ''Figure 1: Basic electronic architecture of an autonomous robot showing sensors, processors, actuators and the communication and security layer.'' The electronic framework of an autonomous robot is composed of both hardware components and software components that are interconnected in such a way that allows it to understand the environment, analyze data and act physically. ==== The architecture includes: ==== '''Sensors:''' Sensors are the component responsible for receiving information from the surroundings. These include cameras for taking photos, LiDAR for calculating distances via lasers, ultrasonic sensors for detecting objects and temperature sensors for measuring temperatures. The use of these sensors raises some ethical dilemmas. '''Processors:''' Microcontrollers, Microprocessors, and Artificial Intelligence functions are used to process sensor data and make decisions. The wrong algorithm or biased data available at the input result in incorrect and dangerous decisions. '''Actuators:''' Actuators are components that turn the control signals into physical motion through motors and other similar systems. It is important to design actuators in such a way that accidents do not happen. '''Communication Layer:''' Different communication systems are used to allow the components of the robot to communicate with each other. Communication is important to achieve the coordination of robot parts. Security Layer: Security means also using encryption, authentication and other techniques against hacks and malware. Among the ethical aspects that come to light from these components are issues like safety, privacy, cybersecurity, and fairness. [[File:Detailed Architecture of an Autonomous Robot.jpg|alt=Block diagram illustrating sensors, processors and actuators connected through a communication network and security layer, with safety supervision and event data recording for accountability.|center|900x900px]] ''Figure 2: Detailed sense–think–act architecture of an autonomous robot illustrating safety supervision, communication, security and event-data recording.'' The detailed architecture demonstrates how ethical considerations can be integrated into robotic system design. A safety supervisor provides mechanisms such as emergency stopping and human intervention. The communication layer supports information exchange, while the security layer protects software and system access. Event-data recording maintains operational information and supports accountability when incidents occur. Together, these components demonstrate that ethical principles should be considered throughout the design and operation of autonomous robots. === Types of Autonomous Robots === Robots without human control can be classified on the basis of their functioning and purpose. '''Industrial robots:''' They are automated machines that work efficiently in manufacturing processes like welding, painting, assembly and material handling. Their application leads to improvement in productivity but can put workers in danger. '''Autonomous robotic machines:''' These machines are capable of moving independently in the place because they use different means of navigation like cameras, laser lighting, sensors and mapping systems. They are widely used in places like warehouses, hospitals and factories. '''Medical robots:''' Use of these robots can ease a large number of medical process related to surgery, rehabilitation, patient observation and hospital services. Their operation is related to patient safety, privacy and other things. '''Agricultural robots:''' This type of autonomous robots can be used in such processes as crop monitoring, planting, spraying and analyzing the soil. The use of robots in agriculture can cut down costs related to manual labor. '''Helper robots:''' Such robots are used for domestic purposes and usually perform housework or help people. Their use usually requires some cameras and microphones to collect the information. == Major Ethical Challenges of Autonomous Robots == Ethics in autonomous robots generally mean those systems that guide the design, development, and use of robotic systems." When evaluating these technologies, several challenges must be considered so that they can be useful to society and not create unwarranted risks. A robot can cause damage or injury due to sensor errors, software defects, mechanical failures, incorrect object detection or unexpected environmental conditions. For example, an industrial robotic arm may continue moving if its obstacle detection system fails. Similarly, an autonomous mobile robot may collide with a person if its navigation system does not correctly identify an obstacle. ==== Engineers can improve safety through: ==== * Emergency stop mechanisms. * Collision detection and avoidance. * Redundant sensors and control systems. * Regular testing and maintenance. * Fail-safe operating mechanisms. * Human supervision in high-risk situations. Reliability testing is also necessary to ensure that robots perform consistently under different operating conditions. === Accountability and Responsibility === Accountability means being responsible for the decisions and actions and the consequences of an autonomous robotic system. Determining responsibility can pose a challenge when a robot causes an accident because many parties may be responsible, including a manufacturer, software engineer, integrator, operator, and the company that uses the robot. For instance, in the case of a warehouse robotics accident where the robot hits a person, the investigation should determine if the accident is a result of faulty sensors, malfunctioning software or wrong programming, inadequate maintenance work, or unsafe workplace conditions. ==== Accountability can be increased by: ==== * Keeping operational history and event logs * Documenting the design and testing process of the systems * Identifying the responsible operators' companies * Conducting routine safety audits * Providing incident reporting mechanisms * Having people oversee the operation if required Robots should not replace the legal liability of the companies and people who develop and operate them. === Privacy and Data Protection === Robots capable of acting independently can gather a lot of information by means of cameras, microphones and other data collecting systems. The information can be in form of pictures of faces, file recordings, behavior patterns, preferences and location. An example of this type of robot is a household robot equipped with a camera to film activities taking place at a person’s residence. If the information collected remains unprotected and unauthorized, it may cause privacy invasion issues. ==== The measures one can take to protect privacy include: ==== * Collecting personal information on need basis. * Informing users about the data collection process. * Obtaining approvals from users if required by the law. * Encrypting information stored and transferred. * Limiting access to authorised users only. * Developing data retention and destruction practices. Engineers should pay attention to privacy during the design phase rather than treating it as an extra option. === Cybersecurity Threats === Robots depend heavily on all sorts of technologies such as wireless communications, connectivity to networks and software-based control systems. These technologies can make robots susceptible to cybersecurity threats. Malicious users can try to manipulate a robot's control system in several ways, including changing its software, stealing the data it has collected or interfering with how it works. For example, if someone gains unauthorised access to an industrial robot, it can make the robot alter the manufacturing process or even endanger other people by performing dangerous operations. Some of the common threats associated with cyber security can include the following: * Unauthorised access to control systems. * Malware and malicious software. * Data theft and information leakage. * Communication interception. * Vulnerability of certain software. * Denial of service attacks. However, cybersecurity can be improved by using such means as strong authentication, use of encryption, use of secure communication protocols, etc. === Bias and Fairness === AI-enabled autonomous robots make decisions using algorithms and information available to them. If the information they rely on is not truthful or representative, the outcome will be wrong.For example, the facial recognition system of a surveillance robot may work differently for various demographic groups depending on the dataset used in its training. Bias affects equity, accessibility, and public credibility. The engineers’ approach to controlling bias includes the following steps: * Using authoritative representative datasets. * Carrying out various tests for various algorithms * Testing the system on different user groups after launching it into use * Continuing monitoring the system results after its implementation. * Establishing a means of definition and solution of equity problems. Fairness should be integrated into every phase of the project implementation process. === Human Control and Autonomy === Fully independent robots can perform complex tasks without assistance, but total independence has risks in circumstances where human-safety and ethical judgment are involved. A proper emergency shut-off, specific means of controlling, supervision and intervention are presented in a robot. Example a healthcare robot might assist a medical professional, but all important medical decisions must still be made within the sphere of regulated professional judgment and legal requirements.The arc of control begins upwards from human levels depending upon the applications, risks, and working environments of the robots. == Legal Framework and Regulatory Considerations == The design and function of robots make use of various legal areas such as safety of the products, consumer rights, privacy, cyber security, intellectual property and health and safety in the work place. Currently, there is no single global law that covers the complete field of autonomous robotics. Various countries operate under different existing laws that regulate to some extent technology development. === Legal Framework in India === Currently, India does not have a unified piece of legislation addressing everything related to autonomous robot technology, but some existing legislative frameworks can be applicable in this case. '''Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023''' The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 provides a legislative framework for the processing of digital personal data in India. It can apply to autonomous robots that accumulate personal data with the help of different means, such as cameras, microphones, biometric terminals and connected devices. Any organisation dealing with personal data should be cognizant of their obligations arising from the legitimate processing of data, security measures, and individual rights. '''Information Technology Act, 2000''' The Information Technology Act, 2000 is concerned with the legislative matters related to the electronic records, online transactions, and some cybercrimes. Its provisions might be relevant in cases when robotic systems involve illegal access to computers, interfered with the operation of computer systems, or misuse of electronic data. While working on the contracts regulating the relations between manufacturers, suppliers, and software developers, the parties might define their liabilities related to the design, supply, operation, and maintenance of robotic systems. The applicability of these legislative acts depends on the exact circumstances of the case and respective laws. '''Consumer Protection Act, 2019''' The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 constitutes the basis of consumer rights and product liability. Defective robotic devices may create questions about product safety, defects and liability. '''Indian Contract Act, 1872''' Manufacturers, suppliers, software engineers and organizations take on certain responsibilities through contracts that cover the design, shipment, maintenance and operation of robotic systems. The relevant legal provisions as per the specific situation dictate whether these laws apply. === International Regulatory Developments === There are various nations and global entities developing rules and advice to try to control the dangers of artificial intelligence and autonomous technology. '''The European Union Artificial Intelligence Act''' The European Union Artificial Intelligence Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, introduces regulatory frameworks for AI systems based on risk assessment. Conditions are put in place for various high-risk applications, transparency measures, and regulatory measures. This may apply to automated robots that utilize AI in applications covered by the legislation. '''International Guidelines on Ethics''' International organizations have also published their regulations regarding trustworthy artificial intelligence, human rights, transparency, and responsible technological development. == Engineering Standards and Professional Practices == Engineering standards define shared technical requisites and procedures concerning the design, testing, and functionality of robotic systems. The role of these standards becomes crucial for the conversion of moral principles into their corresponding engineering ones. === ISO Standards === The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) creates international standards in the field of robotics and other engineering disciplines. '''To showcase their value, here are some examples:''' '''ISO 10218-1:2025 and ISO 10218-2:2025''' They are concerned with safety requirements for robots used in industry and industry usage. They take into consideration robot design, integration into activities, and secure operation. '''ISO 13482:2014''' This standard discusses the safety rules for robots, which take care of people such as: mobile servitors, physical assistants, and carriers of people. It allows developing safety measures and overcoming risks. === '''IEEE Standards''' === The Institution of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) develops standards and guidelines for new technologies, which include both autonomous and intelligent systems. '''Here are some examples:''' * IEEE 7000-2021: The model of a process to deal with ethical questions in the process of design. * IEEE 7001-2021: Deals with the transparency of autonomous systems. * IEEE 7002-2022: Deals with data privacy standards. * IEEE 7007-2021: Provides an ontological framework for morality-guided robotics. * IEEE 7009-2024: Describes the fail-safe design of robots. == Intellectual Property Rights in Autonomous Robotics == Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) provide legal protection for new inventions and creations, which is essential for autonomous robotics since robot architecture is the combination of hardware, software and algorithms. === The major types of intellectual property relevant for robotics include: === '''Patents:''' Patents can protect newly invented systems and mechanisms such as a new robot mechanism or a novel control system. '''Copyright:''' Copyright offers protection of copyrighted material such as software code and technical documentation. '''Industrial Design:''' Industrial design protection can protect robot products subject to the law. '''Trade secrets:''' Patentable inventions that comply with patent law can be protected under trade secrets. In conclusion, it is necessary for engineers to observe intellectual property rights during robotic system development and create robots without copyright software, patentable technology or secrets. == Real-World Applications and Ethical Considerations == Self-sufficient robots have already made their way into several sectors. Their use showcases how responsible engineering is crucial. {| class="wikitable" |+ !'''Application''' !'''Main Benefit''' !'''Ethical Concern''' |- |Industrial manufacturing |Improved productivity |Worker safety |- |Autonomous vehicles |Transportation efficiency |Accident accountability |- |Healthcare robots |Patient assistance |Privacy and reliability |- |Agricultural robots |Reduced manual labour |Environmental safety |- |Warehouse robots |Efficient material handling |Human–robot collisions |- |Domestic robots |Household assistance |Personal data protection |} === Self-Sufficient Transport === Self-sufficient transport does not require a human driver due to the use of cameras, radar, LiDAR, GPS and computers. Although the inclusion of autonomous vehicles may allow to achieve better efficiency of transportation, concerns arise regarding the matter of road safety, liability and the reliability of computer-operated vehicles. === '''Healthcare Robots''' === Health care robotic systems help doctors in performing surgeries, rehabilitation and keeping track of the patients. However, sensor malfunctions, failures in software programs and unauthorized access to medical data create a lot of risks. Consequently, it is very important to make adequate testing and apply appropriate monitoring and protection. === Robots in the Manufacturing Industry === Robots in manufacturing industry can perform monotonous and dangerous operations in the production plants. While robots eliminate the exposure of a human to hazardous procedures, their incorrect application can cause injuries, accidents and damages to the machinery. === Robots in Farming === Robots in farming allow to monitor crops, harvesting, spraying and field surveys. Despite the wide range of advantages of the use of technology, engineers have to take into account pesticide exposure. == Professional Responsibilities of ECE Engineers == Electronics and Communication Engineering specialists are crucial in designing and developing robots that are capable of operating autonomously. Their tasks go far beyond just making robots functional; their job also entails taking the impact of robots on humans, organisations, and society. === Specific duties of electronics and communication engineer are as follows: === 1. '''Public safety:''' They design and test robots to reduce dangers to humans and property. 2. '''Technical competence:''' They apply suitable engineering practices and keep up with innovative technologies. 3. '''Honesty and transparency:''' They need to provide accurate information about capabilities and limitations of the systems. 4. '''Privacy:''' They need to ensure the protection of personal data. 5. '''Cybersecurity:''' They need to make sure that electronic hardware, communication systems and control software are safe. 6. '''Legality:''' They need to comply with laws, rules, and standards of technology. 7. '''Environmental responsibility:''' They must consider energy consumption, electronic waste, and eco-friendly production. 8. '''Accountability:''' They are responsible for all technical documentation and warnings about dangers they find. The engineers must be devoted to people’s welfare and professional honesty during the whole process of design and implementation of autonomous robots. == Future Challenges and Responsible Development == In the future, one can expect artificial intelligence to evolve further and transform the field of robotics, making robots equipped with superior sensors, cooperating robots, and sophisticated electronic systems a reality. Like any other technological breakthrough, robotics will raise moral dilemmas. === The most relevant moral challenges are: === * The protection against cyber threats * Transparency in AI-based decision making. * Better interaction of robots and human beings * Better autonomous navigation. * Privacy protection. * Liability for accidents. * Environmentally safe manufacturing and recycling of e-waste. * Robotics development process should involve engineers, scientists, producers, legislators, and customers. == Conclusion == Robots that can operate independently are changing today’s engineering through their integration of electronic hardware, intelligent software, sensors, and communication technologies. Their uses have notable advantages in sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, transportation, and home.Although, increase in autonomy creates various ethical as well as legal issues, including safety, accountability, privacy, cybersecurity, and fairness.It is worth mentioning that these problems cannot be solved via technical efficiency alone. Therefore, engineers should be mindful of social aspects, ethics, legislative regulations, and established standards. From this point of view, an Electronics and Communication Engineer plays a crucial role. Their participation in the elaboration of sensors, processors, communication systems, and control devices is fundamental for autonomous robots. With safety considerations, transparency, privacy protection, and accountability taken into account by the engineers in the process of creation, reliable and accountable outcomes are going to be achieved. == References == # International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

If your compiler is able to generate assembly instructions for that architecture, it is able to generate machine code for all those actual machines (aka, processors) implementing that given architecture. Cortex-M is a family of physical cores designed to be further integrated with vendor-specific silicon devices to form a finished microcontroller. The way a core works is not only defined by its related ARM architecture (eg. ARMv7-M), but also by the integrated peripherals and hardware capabilities defined by the silicon manufacturer. For example, the Cortex-M4 core architecture is designed to support bit-data access operations in two specific memory regions using a feature called bit-banding, but it is up to the actual implementation to add such feature or not. The STM32F4 is a family of MCUs based on the Cortex-M4 core that implements this bit-banding feature. Figure 1 clearly shows the relation between a Cortex-M3 based MCU and its Cortex-M3 core. STM32 32-bit and 64-bit microprocessors extend this range with Arm Cortex-A and Cortex-M architectures for applications that need higher-level processing, Linux-based software environments, graphics, connectivity, and real-time control. About STM32 Microcontrollers [[File:STM32nucleoF303KB.svg|STM32nucleoF303KB]] STM32 is a broad range of microcontrollers divided in nine sub-families, each one with its features. ST started the market production of this portfolio in 2007, beginning with the STM32F1 series, which is still under development. Figure 12 shows the internal die of an STM32F103 MCU, one of the most widespread STM32 MCUs¹⁴. All STM32 microcontrollers have a Cortex-M core, plus some distinctive ST features (like the ARTTM accelerator). Internally, each microcontroller consists of the processor core, static RAM, flash memory, debugging interface, and various other peripherals. Some MCUs provide additional types of memory (EEPROM, CCM, etc.), and a whole line of devices targeting low-power applications is continuously growing. Interrupts Managements Interrupts and Exceptions Handling Interrupts and exception management is one of the most powerful features of Cortex-M based processors. Interrupts and exceptions are asynchronous events that alter the program flow. When an exception or an interrupt occurs, the CPU suspends the execution of the current task, saves its context (that is, its stack pointer) and starts the execution of a routine designed to handle the interrupting event. This routine is called Exception Handler in case of exceptions and Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) in case of an interrupt. After the exception or interrupt has been handled, the CPU resumes the previous execution flow, and the previous task can continue its execution¹¹. In the ARM architecture, interrupts are one type of exception. Interrupts are usually generated from on-chip peripherals (e.g., a timer) or external inputs (e.g. a tactile switch connected to a GPIO), and in some cases they can be triggered by software. Exceptions are, instead, related to software execution, and the CPU itself can be a source of exceptions. These could be fault events such as an attempt to access an invalid memory location, or events generated by the Operating System, if any GPIO Management The System bus connects the system bus of the Cortex-M core to a BusMatrix, which manages the arbitration between the core and the DMA. Both the core and the the DMA act as masters. • The DMA bus connects the Advanced High-performance Bus(AHB) master interface of the DMA to the BusMatrix, which manages the access of CPU and DMA to SRAM, flash memory and peripherals. • The BusMatrix manages the access arbitration between the core system bus and the DMA master bus. The arbitration uses a Round Robin algorithm. The BusMatrix is composed of two masters (CPU, DMA) and four slaves (flash memory interface, SRAM, AHB1 with AHB to Advanced Peripheral Bus(APB) bridge and AHB2). AHB peripherals are connected on system bus through a BusMatrix to allow DMA access. • The AHB to APB bridge provides full synchronous connections between the AHB and the APB bus, where the most of peripherals are connected. NVIC Controller NVIC is a dedicated hardware unit inside the Cortex-M based microcontrollers that is responsible of the exceptions handling. Figure 1 shows the relation between the NVIC unit, the Processor Core and peripherals. Here we have to distinguish two types of peripherals: those external to the Cortex-M core, but internal to the STM32 MCU (e.g. timers, UARTS, and so on), and those peripherals external to the MCU at all. The source of the interrupts coming from the last kind of peripherals are the MCU I/O, which can be both configured as general purpose I/O (e.g. a tactile switch connected to a pin configured as input) or to drive an external advanced peripheral (e.g. I/Os configured to exchange data with an ethernet phyther through the RMII interface). A dedicated programmable controller, named External Interrupt/Event Controller (EXTI), is responsible of the interconnection between the external I/O signals and the NVIC controller, as we will see next.

They are combination of hardware and software to monitor physical conditions, process information, and control specific operations. Microcontrollers are among the most important components which has integrated microprocessor, memory and peripheral interfaces into a single integrated system on chip. Embedded systems are widely used in the industries, medical, automations, telecommunication, automobiles, and instrumentations. This article contains the fundamental concepts, characteristics, classifications, architecture, working principles, and applications of embedded systems on microcontrollers. It also examines the emerging technologies such as edge computing, artificial intelligence, and low-power wireless communication. 1. '''INTRODUCTION''' Modern electronics technologies are highly depend on computing systems that performs specialized functions automatically. These systems are commonly known as embedded systems. Unlike other general purpose computing system which perform wide variety of tasks. Examples includes anti-locking break system (ABS), air-bag system, GPS, washing machine, microwave, signal processor, signal generator, web camera, router, hub, face recognition, finger recognition, ECG, EEG, MRI and industrial robots. Their operation is generally controlled by dedicated software known as firmware, which interacts directly with electronics hardware. A major development in this field is the integration of memory, processors, input / output peripherals facilities into compact integrated circuits called microcontrollers. These devices make it possible to develop flexible, inexpensive, reliable and energy-efficient electronics product. Embedded system involve the combined design of hardware and software to satisfy application. '''2.''' '''Definition and Fundamentals of Embedded Systems''' An embedded system is a computer system which is embedded into a larger device to perform a specific function. It consists of hardware, software and where appropriate some form of mechanical component to achieve that function. An embedded system is very different to a desktop computer in that it's almost invariably going to be designed and tuned to a specific application rather than being a general purpose machine. For example an automatic room temperature controller will use a sensor to measure the ambient temperature, pass that value through a microcontroller and then control either an air conditioner or a heater. '''2.1''' '''Basic concept''' The operation of an embedded system is a matter of the following sequence: Physical input → Data acquisition → Processing → Decision-making → Output or control action Such a system is in continual interaction with its surroundings. Inputs may be provided via a user interface, from sensors and switches or by way of communication networks. The outputs are what put motors, relays, alarms, displays and other electronic devices under their control. '''2.2 Embedded system versus general-purpose computer''' A general-purpose computer is made to cope with a range of applications and operating environments. An embedded system, by contrast, is optimised for a single application. In cases where the system is sufficiently complex, however, it can accommodate more than one software task and have networking and operating systems (Wolf, 2017). '''3. Characteristics of Embedded Systems''' Embedded systems have many key features: They have a specific role to perform. Many have real time aspects, where they need to complete operations within certain time frames. They often have limited memory, processing, storage and energy resources. They should perform reliably. They often consume low power. Software will be written based upon the hardware capabilities. They often have to be cost effective when used in commercial products. '''3.1 Real-Time Characteristics''' A real-time embedded system will have to respond to stimuli within an acceptable time frame. This means that the correct output is important but so is when it is produced. Real-time systems can be divided into: '''Hard real-time:''' This would be systems where if the deadline was not met then something would fail or there would be a serious risk in terms of safety. Examples of these are flight control systems on aircraft and some braking systems in cars. '''Firm real-time:''' If the deadline is not met then the outputs are not useful however it maybe that sometimes they can be late. '''Soft real-time:''' This is where if the outputs are delayed then performance or quality is affected but it will not necessarily cause everything to fail. Examples of this are multimedia streaming and some interactive systems. Timing predictability and worst case analysis are vital for real-time embedded software (Barr and Massa 2006). '''4.Types of Embedded Systems''' Embedded systems can be divided into: Small scale – Uses a simple processor or 8bit microcontroller. For example Digital thermometer. Medium scale – Uses 16bit/32 bit controllers and complicated firmware. For example Smart home controller. Real Time – Must meet specific deadlines. For example Industrial robot controller. Stand alone – Will perform an operation by itself. For example Electronic calculator. Networked – Can communicate with other devices using either a wired or wireless network. Mobile – Used in mobile devices and battery powered devices. Real time – Responds to outside events within certain time scales. '''5) Architecture & Components of an Embedded System''' The architecture of an embedded system will dictate how the hardware and software are used together. Based on the application of the Embedded System The architecture will differ, most embedded systems will have the following components: '''5.1 Hardware''' 1.Processing Unit The processing unit carries out the instructions. This could be a Microcontroller, Microprocessor, DSP or SoC. 2.Memory This stores the programs instruction and data. Common memory types will be: ROM – Permanent storage for programs instruction. Flash Memory – Storage for firmware. RAM – Temporary data when running. EEPROM – Storage for data that needs to be stored. 3.Sensors Sensors convert physical quantities into an electronic signal. Examples are: Temperature, Pressure, Humidity, Light & Motion Sensors. 4.Actuators Actuators convert electronic signals into physical movement. Examples are: DC Motors, Servo Motors, Solenoid Valves, Buzzers & Relays. Input/Output Interfaces GPIO, ADC, DAC and Communication Peripherals are used to interface with external devices. 5.Communication Interfaces Common communication interfaces include UART, SPI, I² C, CAN, USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth. '''5.2 Software components''' This area will usually consist of: Firmware: basic instructions. Device Drivers: specific hardware driver software. Operating System: Task management, memory management, scheduling and communication where necessary. Application Software: The actual implemented system. Tools: Compiler,Assembler, Debugger and Programmer. '''6.Working Principle''' An embedded system is a system that will always have interaction between hardware and software. An example of this is a temperature controlled fan. Sensor – The temperature sensor takes a reading of the temperature. Conversion – If an ADC is needed then the signal is converted into digital data. Read – The microcontroller can now read the temperature. Comparison – The firmware takes the reading and compares it to the set threshold. Control Signal – The microcontroller creates a control signal by using a GPIO pin or PWM. Driver Circuit – The driver circuit controls the fan motor. Sensor – The sensor takes a reading of the new temperature. The control process can be represented mathematically as: '''e(t) = r(t) - y(t)''' Where: e(t) = error signal r(t) = reference value y(t) = measured output '''7.Microcontrollers: Definition and Fundamentals''' An MCU is a small integrated circuit including a central processing unit (CPU), memory and configurable I/O peripherals. They are mainly used to control electronics and execute specific tasks. The main difference between a microcontroller and a microprocessor is that a microcontroller contains many of the peripherals and memory that you would normally need to add outside of a microprocessor. '''7.1 Key Features''' Key features of an MCU typically include: • 8/16/32-bit CPU. •Internal Flash, SRAM and often EEPROM memory. GPIO. •Timers & Counters. •ADC and sometimes DAC. •Interrupts. •Communication. •Watchdogs and Low Power Modes. '''7.2 Importance of Microcontrollers''' Microcontrollers reduces complexity of hardware circuits and the board size reducing manufacturing costs. They allow programmable control allowing changes to the operation of electronic products via firmware. An example of this would be a washing machine that uses a microcontroller to control the water level sensing, motor and temperature control and washing cycle. '''8. Internal Architecture''' This section explains what is inside the microcontroller so that it can process instructions, memory and peripheral communications. '''8.1 Central Processing Unit (CPU)''' The CPU handles instruction processing and control. The main components that make up the CPU are: 1.Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) - Performs arithmetic and logic operations. 2.Control Unit - Handles instruction decoding and control. 3.Registers - Fast temporary storage. 4.Program Counter (PC) - Stores address of next instruction. Stack Pointer (SP) - Identifies location in stack. '''8.2 Memory Architecture''' There are two commonly used memory architectures in microcontroller systems: Von Neumann: uses a single memory space and bus for programs and data. Harvard: Programs and data have separate memory spaces and buses. Modern processors sometimes use modified Harvard architectures which incorporate aspects of both. '''8.3. Interrupt mechanism''' Interrupts are signals which cause a programme to change the order in which it will run to manage important events. For example if there is an emergency detected by the sensor then interrupts can be used to immediately notify the processor. This makes the system more responsive, especially when dealing with time sensitive events. '''9. Types and Popular Families of Microcontrollers''' There are many popular types of microcontroller architectures. '''9.1. 8051 microcontroller''' The 8051 is a classic 8-bit architecture that was first released by Intel in 1980. They have been popular in entry level microcontroller education due to their simplistic architecture and instruction sets. Traditional 8051 microcontrollers contain: •8-bit CPU. •4KB of program memory (ROM). •128 bytes of RAM. •Four 8-bit I/O ports. •Two 16-bit timers/counter. Serial communication. Modern 8051 architectures from different manufacturers may have more memory, timers and communications. '''9.2. PIC microcontrollers''' PIC (Peripheral Interface Controller) microcontrollers were developed by Microchip Technology. The microcontroller comes in several categories including 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit. The PIC is used in automation, consumer, motor control and industrial applications. '''9.3. AVR Microcontrollers''' The AVR is an 8-bit RISC microcontroller architecture developed by Atmel which is now owned by Microchip Technology. The ATmega328P is a well known microcontroller that belongs to the AVR family. It is used on the Arduino Uno R3 development board. '''9.4. ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers''' The ARM Cortex-M range are microcontrollers designed for embedded systems with high efficient processing, low energy consumption and predictable interrupts. Important variants include Cortex-M0, M0+, M3, M4, M7, M23 and M33. These differ based on their performance, security and application needs (Arm, n.d.) '''10. Microprocessors vs. Microcontrollers''' Both microprocessors and microcontrollers are used to perform calculations. However, they have various differences between them. A microprocessor (MPU) mainly consists of just a CPU, therefore it will typically require external memory and peripherals. A microcontroller (MCU) will have the CPU, memory and a range of peripherals all on one chip. '''11. Real-World Applications''' '''11.1 Modern vehicles''' have many embedded controllers for functions such as engine control, electronic brakes, airbags, transmission control, dashboards and driver assistance. Electronic Control Units (ECUs) receive data from a sensors and manage the operation of the vehicle. Controllers CAN communicate using CAN protocols. '''11.2 Medical''' Medical equipment uses embedded systems to monitor patients, digital thermometers, infusion pumps, ECGs and diagnostic equipment. The design must be accurate, reliable, electrically safe and meet medical device regulations. '''11.3 Industrial''' Embedded controllers are used within manufacturing processes for PLCs, Robots, conveyer belts, Motor drives and monitoring processes. This increases the consistency of the production and enables automated control. '''11.4 Internet Of Things (IoT)''' IoT devices have embedded processors and communication technologies to communicate on a network. For example Smart Irrigation will have sensors to measure the soil moisture levels, these sensors will send data to a controller which will turn on a water pump if the soil moisture is below a pre-set level. '''11.5 Aerospace & Defence''' Satellite communications, navigation, aircraft monitoring, flight control devices, UAVs all use embedded systems. These often have strict requirements of reliability, real-time and environmental conditions. '''12 Advantages And Limitations''' '''12.1 Advantages''' • High Efficiency - Embedded systems are efficient at performing specific tasks. • Small - With the integration of hardware components the product becomes smaller. • Low Power Usage - Many microcontrollers offer low power modes. • Cost Effective - Using dedicated hardware can lead to a reduction in manufacturing costs. • Reliable - If designed well embedded systems can run 24/7 with little to no human interaction. • Automation - Can be used to automate monitoring, decision making and control. • Fast Response - Hardware interrupts and scheduled algorithms can be used. '''12.2 Limitations''' Despite their benefits there are several design challenges when creating an embedded system: • Limited resources – The memory and processing is limited. • Hard to debug – The hardware makes fault finding difficult. • Hardware and software design – Both hardware and software need to be designed. • Not very flexible – They are designed to do one thing so it can be hard to make large changes. • Security issues – Being connected to a network can make them vulnerable to unauthorised access and software attacks. '''13. Recent Technological Developments''' Improvements in a variety of technologies have led to advancements in embedded systems such as semiconductors, telecommunications networks, artificial intelligence and low power components. '''13.1 Internet of Things''' By embedding microcontroller units with wireless communications it has become possible to link devices together. The following technologies allow wireless connection: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Zigbee, Thread, LoRaWAN. Using ESP32 based development boards we can easily see how an embedded processor can be combined with a wireless network (Espressif Systems, n.d.). '''13.2 Artificial Intelligence & TinyML''' TinyML is a term used to describe using Machine Learning on low resource devices such as microcontrollers. '''13.3 Edge Computing.''' Information is processed close to where it was collected. For example a monitoring system within an industry can localise the detection of unusual vibrations. It then will only send relevant data or warnings. This can help cut back on data sent across networks but good security and data management techniques should still be employed. '''13.4 Advanced Low Power Processors''' Modern microcontroller have advanced power management systems, hardware acceleration, secure boot, cryptography and communications. Examples include Arm Cortex-M processors, STM32 and new Raspberry Pi microcontrollers. '''13.5 Advanced Embedded Development Tools''' Modern systems have advanced debugging, simulation, testing, firmware programming and real-time analysis tools. '''14. Future Scope and Emerging Trends''' There are a few trends that will be very important in the future of embedded systems: '''1. Edge AI''' - Microcontrollers will become more intelligent in terms of classifying, detecting anomalies and making decisions based on data at the edge. '''2. Automotive Electronics''' - There will still be a need for complex embedded applications to run electric vehicles, battery management systems, autonomous systems and advanced driver assistance systems. '''3. IoT''' - Using internet enabled devices within an industrial setting allows for predictive maintenance, remote monitoring and intelligent manufacturing. '''4. RISC-V Architecture''' - An open standard instruction set architecture that has gained attention in embedded systems research. This is an alternative to using proprietary processors. '''5. Low-power applications''' - New advancements in semiconductor manufacturing techniques and power management will allow for longer battery life. '''6. Real time operating systems''' - These are lightweight operating systems which will continue to be used for increasingly complex applications. This shows that embedded systems will play an important role in future engineering innovations. '''15. Conclusion''' They are an vital part of modern electronic and automated technology due to their ability to integrate many different components and functions including processors, memory, sensors, communication and control. There are many different types of microcontrollers available such as the 8051, PIC, AVR, ARM Cortex-M, ESP32, RP2040 and STM32 each providing varying levels of performance, power efficiency, memory and peripherals. The development of IoT, TinyML, Edge Computing and Intelligent Automation have increased the capabilities of embedded systems.

Introduction == Imagine a robot working in a hospital, helping doctors during surgery, delivering medicines, and interacting with patients. Now imagine a robot exploring Mars, identifying obstacles and deciding its own path without waiting for instructions from Earth. These examples might sound futuristic, but many of these technologies are already becoming a reality. Robotics has been around for several decades, mainly helping industries perform repetitive and time-consuming tasks. However, with the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), robots are gradually moving beyond following predefined instructions. They are becoming capable of understanding their surroundings, learning from data, and making decisions. This combination of AI and Robotics is opening new opportunities in almost every sector. But to understand where this technology is heading, we first need to understand what AI and Robotics actually mean. == 2. Understanding the Basic Terms == '''Artificial Intelligence (AI)''' is a branch of computer science that focuses on developing machines capable of performing tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. One important part of AI is '''Machine Learning (ML)''', which allows computers to learn patterns from data rather than depending entirely on manually written instructions. For example, a machine can be trained using thousands of images to recognise cats and dogs. '''Deep Learning (DL)''' is another part of Machine Learning that uses multi-layered artificial neural networks to understand complex patterns. It is widely used in image recognition, speech processing, and object detection. On the other hand, '''Robotics''' is an engineering field concerned with designing, building, programming, and operating robots. It combines mechanical engineering, electronics, computer science, sensors, and control systems. A robot generally consists of sensors to collect information, actuators to produce movement, a controller to process information, and a mechanical structure to perform physical tasks. When AI is integrated into robotics, these machines become capable of doing more than simply following fixed instructions. For example, instead of programming a robot to move around a particular obstacle, we can use AI-based perception and decision-making systems to help it identify obstacles and choose an appropriate path. For further reading: NIST – Artificial Intelligence and IEEE – Robotics. == 3. Advancements in AI and Robotics == The combination of AI and Robotics has already produced some remarkable developments. One of the most visible examples is '''industrial automation'''. Factories use robotic arms for welding, painting, assembling vehicles, and packaging products. With computer vision and AI, these robots can also inspect products and identify manufacturing defects. [[File:Industrial Robotics.jpg|border|center|'''Industrial Robotics''']] Another important development is in healthcare. Robot-assisted surgical systems help surgeons perform delicate operations with greater precision and control. AI-based technologies can also assist in analysing medical images and supporting clinical decisions. Space exploration is another area where intelligent robotics has achieved impressive results. NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter demonstrated controlled flight on another planet, operating with minimal instructions from Earth. More recently, NASA's Perseverance rover demonstrated AI-planned drives on Mars, using artificial intelligence to help generate its driving route. [[File:NASA Mars Ingenuity Helicopter.jpg|border|center|'''NASA Mars Ingenuity Helicopter''']] Humanoid robots are also receiving significant attention. Robots developed by companies such as Boston Dynamics and Figure AI demonstrate improvements in walking, balancing, object manipulation, and interaction with their surroundings. These developments show that robotics is gradually moving from controlled industrial environments towards more complex real-world applications.

Future Scope of AI in Robotics == The future of AI in robotics is particularly interesting because researchers are working towards making robots more independent, adaptable, and useful in everyday life. One promising development is '''humanoid robotics'''. In the coming years, humanoid robots may assist humans in factories, hospitals, warehouses, and even homes. Since their physical structure resembles humans, they could potentially use tools and operate in environments already designed for people. [[File:Humanoid Robotics.jpg|border|center|'''Humanoid Robotics''']] Another interesting direction is the integration of Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) with robots. Imagine giving a robot a simple instruction: "Go to the kitchen, find a bottle of water, and bring it to me." Instead of manually programming every movement, an intelligent robot could interpret the instruction, identify the required object, plan its movements, and attempt to complete the task. Researchers are also exploring Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. These models connect visual understanding, natural-language instructions, and physical actions. This could make robots more flexible when dealing with tasks they have not been explicitly programmed to perform. In agriculture, intelligent robots could identify unhealthy crops, remove weeds, and apply fertilisers more precisely. In healthcare, they may assist elderly people and support rehabilitation. In space exploration, autonomous robots could construct structures and perform maintenance in environments where human intervention is difficult. However, these developments are still evolving. Building a robot that can reliably perform a simple household task in an unfamiliar environment is much harder than demonstrating the same task in a controlled laboratory. == 5. Advantages and Challenges == Although AI has enormous potential, its integration into robotics comes with both positive and negative aspects. On the positive side, intelligent robots can improve productivity, perform dangerous tasks, reduce human exposure to hazardous environments, and work continuously without getting physically tired. They can also improve precision in manufacturing and assist humans in fields where even small errors can have serious consequences. For example, robots can explore dangerous areas, handle toxic materials, and assist in space missions where sending humans would involve significant risks. However, there are some serious challenges as well. The first is '''employment'''. As industries automate repetitive tasks, certain jobs may become less common. Although new opportunities will emerge in robotics, AI, and automation, workers may need additional training to adapt. The second challenge is '''cost and reliability'''. Developing intelligent robots requires expensive hardware, sensors, computing resources, and continuous maintenance. An AI model can also make incorrect predictions, and when a robot acts on those predictions, the consequences can be physical rather than just digital. Privacy and safety are other important concerns. Robots equipped with cameras and microphones may collect sensitive information. There are also questions about who should be held responsible if an autonomous robot causes an accident. Therefore, technological development must go hand in hand with proper safety standards, regulations, and ethical considerations. == 6. Conclusion == Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we think about robotics. Robots are no longer limited to performing repetitive operations in factories; they are gradually becoming capable of understanding their surroundings, learning from experience, and interacting with humans. In my opinion, the most exciting part of this development is not simply creating robots that look like humans but building machines that can solve real-world problems and assist people in situations where traditional automation is not enough. At the same time, we should not ignore the challenges related to employment, safety, cost, and privacy. The goal should not be to replace humans completely but to develop technology that makes human work safer, easier, and more productive. The combination of AI and Robotics has a long way to go, but one thing is clear: it will play an important role in shaping the future of engineering and technology. 0z1l3u2nn248b2npdqjxb0jg7f4ujd6 2 486966 4681408 4680646 2026-11-10T16:25:01Z Chinmaysg19 3630033 brief explanation about drones 4681408 wikitext text/x-wiki == Embedded Systems for Autonomous Drones == === <u>Introduction</u> === Embedded systems play an essential role in constructing and operating a drone (unmanned aerial vehicle). Embedded systems combine software for completing a task, such as flight control, navigation, communication, object detection and real time decision making. This allows everything to flow seamlessly.Autonomous drones are designed to fly with minimal human intervention. They incorporate embedded systems such as processors, sensors, control algorithms and communication technology to collect, process and complete flight commands. A drone, called an Unmanned Vehicle is a robotic vehicle that can be guided by a person or by itself. A drone can fly, move on the ground or travel on or, under water. People use drones for things: buying and selling factories, government, the army taking pictures from above carrying packages, racing, looking for lost items and many other tasks.Drones can also be called Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Unmanned Ground Vehicles, Unmanned Surface Vehicles or Unmanned Underwater Vehicles.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Basic Concepts |url=https://docs.px4.io/main/en/getting_started/px4_basic_concepts |access-date=2026-11-10 |website=PX4 Autopilot |language=en-US}}</ref> === <u>Architecture and Components</u> === The proposed architecture is designed to offer a platform for UAV robotic applications combining both hardware and software elements. The core idea is to break down the problem into smaller manageable sub-problems. These sub-problems are then linked to either hardware or software implementations. Each solution is grouped into a "level" that includes components. These levels are connected using interfaces allowing them to work together smoothly. For UAV applications that use VBN techniques a three-level architecture has been developed. The functions of each level are clearly. Communication is restricted to adjacent levels only. This structure ensures a separation of concerns and supports a modular design. * Functional high-level. This level includes all the hardware and software needed to run the VBN system and to carry out navigation algorithms. It is responsible for the control logic and decision-making processes. * Functional mid-level. This level handles the software that manages commands sent to the flight controller. These commands may come from the ground station (such as human pilot inputs) or from the navigation algorithm. This level acts as a bridge between the level and low-level components. * Functional low-level. This level includes the flight controller along with all the hardware and software, for stabilizing the drone’s attitude. It ensures the control of the drone’s movements and maintains its balance during flight.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bigazzi |first=Luca |last2=Basso |first2=Michele |last3=Boni |first3=Enrico |last4=Innocenti |first4=Giacomo |last5=Pieraccini |first5=Massimiliano |date=2021-06-30 |title=A Multilevel Architecture for Autonomous UAVs |url=https://www.mdpi.com/2504-446X/5/3/55 |journal=Drones |language=en |volume=5 |issue=3 |pages=55 |doi=10.3390/drones5030055 |issn=2504-446X}}</ref> === <u>Working Principle</u> === The main part of the drone control system is a flight controller. This is a device that controls the flight of an aircraft. The term is used for aerial vehicles. This includes aircraft models and drones. Usually the flight controller receives commands from the radio control system.. It can work completely on its own according to a planned flight path or in the object tracing mode. Also the autonomous flight mode is found in selfie-copters" and, in advanced military devices.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Peksa |first=Janis |last2=Mamchur |first2=Dmytro |date=2024-05-23 |title=A Review on the State of the Art in Copter Drones and Flight Control Systems |url=https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/24/11/3349 |journal=Sensors |language=en |volume=24 |issue=11 |pages=3349 |doi=10.3390/s24113349 |issn=1424-8220}}</ref> ==== Lift and thrust ==== Each rotor produces lift and a reaction torque by accelerating air downward. A quadcopter hovers when the total lift of its rotors equals its weight and the rotor torques cancel, which is achieved by having two rotors spin clockwise and two counter-clockwise.<ref name="fraundorfer2024">{{cite web |last=Fraundorfer |first=Friedrich |year=2024 |title=Camera Drones: Flight Mechanics and Control |url=https://www.tugraz.at/fileadmin/user_upload/Institute/ICG/Documents/courses/cameradrones/2024/CD_Lecture_FlightMechanics.pdf |access-date=2026-11-10 |publisher=Graz University of Technology}}</ref> In simple models, the thrust of a single rotor is proportional to the square of its angular velocity.<ref name="mahony2012">{{cite journal |last1=Mahony |first1=Robert |last2=Kumar |first2=Vijay |last3=Corke |first3=Peter |year=2012 |title=Multirotor Aerial Vehicles: Modeling, Estimation, and Control of Quadrotor |journal=IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine |volume=19 |issue=3 |pages=20–32}}</ref> ==== Attitude and motion ==== Pitch and roll are produced when opposite motors generate unequal thrust, and yaw is produced by an imbalance between the torques of the clockwise and counter-clockwise rotor pairs.<ref name="sturm2012">{{cite web |last=Sturm |first=Jürgen |year=2012 |title=Lecture 4: Control |url=https://cvg.cit.tum.de/_media/teaching/ss2012/visnav2012/lecture4_control.pdf |access-date=2026-11-10 |work=Visual Navigation for Flying Robots |publisher=Technical University of Munich}}</ref> Because a tilted quadcopter also accelerates sideways, it cannot independently hold a desired position and a desired tilt, so moving horizontally requires tilting the airframe.<ref name="fraundorfer2024" /> ==== Control loops ==== Flight controllers commonly use cascaded control. In the PX4 multicopter controller, an outer position loop feeds a velocity loop, which feeds an attitude loop and then an angular-rate loop, with the rate controller output converted to motor commands by a control allocator.<ref name="px4ctrl">{{cite web |title=Controller Diagrams |url=https://docs.px4.io/main/en/flight_stack/controller_diagrams.html |access-date=2026-11-10 |website=PX4 User Guide |publisher=Dronecode Foundation}}</ref> Cascading assumes the inner loops respond much faster than the outer loops, so each outer loop sees the inner loop as nearly instantaneous.<ref name="sturm2012" /> ====== State estimation ====== Control requires estimates of attitude, velocity and position. PX4 obtains them with an extended Kalman filter (EKF2), which uses inertial measurement unit data to predict the state and corrects it with other sensors such as GNSS, a barometer, a magnetometer or a rangefinder. The filter needs, at minimum, inertial data, a source of heading and a source of height.<ref name="px4ekf">{{cite web |title=Using PX4's Navigation Filter (EKF2) |url=https://docs.px4.io/main/en/advanced_config/tuning_the_ecl_ekf.html |access-date=2026-11-10 |website=PX4 User Guide |publisher=Dronecode Foundation}}</ref> === <u>Applications</u> === Autonomous drones have many applications within civil use. Some of these applications are real time monitoring (Road traffic), wireless coverage, remote sensing, search and rescue, cargo delivery, security and surveillance, precision agriculture and civil infrastructure inspection.For example, they can be used in inspections. They can be flown over an installation and inspect without needing someone to control them. This has been used in high voltage power lines and wind turbines. They can also be used in search and rescue. They can provide quick coverage of an area to help locate any people. Drones with sound, vibrational or thermal sensors can be used to identify any survivors trapped under rubble.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Gholami |first=Alireza |date=2024-10-31 |title=Exploring drone classifications and applications: a review |url=https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/ijeg/article/1587042 |journal=International Journal of Engineering and Geosciences |language=en |publisher=Murat YAKAR |volume=9 |issue=3 |pages=418–442 |doi=10.26833/ijeg.1428724 |issn=2548-0960}}</ref> Compared to manned aircraft and ground crews they are easy to deploy and cheap to maintain. They are very mobile allowing them to hover. Drones can drastically reduce data collection time when being used for surveying They also have onboard autonomy. Cameras are cheap and low powered so visual SLAM can be an appealing method to allow a small drone to localise and perceive its environment. Compared to more heavy sensors like LiDAR. Having a reliable localisation and perception allows higher level methods such as navigation. === <u>References</u> === {{reflist}} abr7swv48ytwgr83qvl92csvy0c3fs4 0 486989 4681534 4680973 2026-11-11T01:00:43Z JackBot 396820 Formatting, [[Special:UncategorizedPages]] 4681534 wikitext text/x-wiki {| class="wikitable" |- !

I saw another draft policy for [[Wikibooks:Editing guideline|Wikibooks' editing guidelines]]. It was good, but it was hard to understand for my friend (he's a newcomer) and it didn't contain the core parts of Wikibooks' editing guidelines. On top of that, I didn't know what book to write. I thought of writing about [[Renewable Sources of Energy Explained]], but there was already a book on that. Also gives me a chance to improve my skills.

Introduction === [[File:Massive MIMO Technology.png|751x751px]] Mobile communication has evolved a lot over the years. Until now, cell phones were used mostly for making calls and sending text messages. Today, people use them to stream videos, play games online, video conferencing, online classes and many more, Smartphones aren't the only devices also depend on wireless network. As the number of connected devices grows, mobile networks need to be capable of supporting higher volumes of data and more users without compromising the quality of communucation. 5G is designed to meet these growing communication needs. It employs several technologies to enhance data rates, network capacity and connectivity. One technology is Massive MIMO, which is Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output. The fundamental idea behind Massive MIMO is that a base station uses a lot of antennas, not just a few. These antennas cooperate to send and receive signals. This allows the base station to communicate with multiple users at the same time by utilizing different spatial paths. Massive MIMO is not simply about adding more antennas to a tower. The antennas must work together through suitable signal-processing techniques. Beamforming, precoding and spatial multiplexing are some of the important techniques that make this possible. This technology helps improve network capacity and spectral efficiency. It also allows a 5G base station to serve multiple users using the same time and frequency resources, provided that their wireless channels can be separated effectively. === 2. Need for Massive MIMO === The increasing use of the internet on phones creates new challenges for wireless communication networks. In crowded places people may attach at the same time to the same base station. The radio spectrum has to be shared among such users which may limit the amount of data each person gets. When communication demands are this high, traditional antenna systems can't keep up. One solution is to add more base stations, but this can mean higher costs for infrastructure and deployment. Another approach is massive MIMO, which uses many antennas to better utilize the available spectrum. ===== Here are the main reasons why 5G uses massive MIMO: ===== '''Increased network capacity:''' With spatial multiplexing, a base station can serve multiple users simultaneously, by sending separate streams of data to them. This helps in places where a lot of people connect to the internet via their phones. '''Better spectral efficiency:''' Radio spectrum is a scarce resource. Massive MIMO can separate different users spatially so that they can share the same time and frequency resources, which helps the network to transmit more data using the available bandwidth. '''Better signal quality:''' Signals received from multiple antennas can be appropriately combined to enhance reception. Beamforming can also concentrate radio energy on the intended user. '''Interference management:''' When many people are talking at the same time their signals can get in each other's way. Massive MIMO employs precoding and other signal-processing techniques to mitigate this interference. '''Data traffic growth support:''' Applications like high-definition video streaming, cloud services and online gaming are data-hungry and they require reliable data connections. Massive MIMO assists 5G networks to meet these increasing demands. [[File:Comparison of SISO, SIMO, MISO and MIMO configurations..png|center|823x823px]] === 3. Fundamentals of MIMO Technology === To understand the concept of Massive MIMO, it is first necessary to understand the operation of MIMO communication. The main concept of MIMO is the utilization of multiple antennas in order to transmit and receive wireless communications. Depending on the number of transmitting and receiving antennas, there are four main configurations of wireless communication systems: SISO, SIMO, MISO, and MIMO. '''3.1 SISO (Single Input Single Output)''' The acronym SISO means Single Input Single Output. This is the simplest type of wireless communication system whereby one antenna is employed at the transmitter end while another is used at the receiver end. This communication system transmits the signal through a single communication channel. Given that only one transmitter and one receiver antennas are used in the system, the SISO system is easy to implement. For instance, a simple wireless communication system between the transmitter and receiver will make use of the SISO structure. '''Key features:''' * Single transmitter antenna is used. * Single receiving antenna is used. * Simple architecture of the system. * No spatial multiplexing. * Subject to fading and interference. '''3.2 SIMO (Single Input Multiple Output)''' Single Input Multiple Output is the abbreviated term of SIMO. SIMO refers to the system where there is one transmit antenna and there are multiple receive antennas. The received signal is collected through various propagation channels using these antennas. The signal received can be combined using various techniques to enhance the reception process. For instance, if there are two or more receive antennas of a wireless device that receive the same transmitted signal, then there will be techniques available for combining those signals for reducing fading effect. Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) is the common technique available for such signal combination. '''Key features:''' * There is only one transmit antenna. * Multiple receive antennas are used. * Enhances signal reception through diversity. * It reduces the effect of fading. * No multiple transmitted data streams from the single transmit antenna. '''3.3 MISO (Multiple Input Single Output)''' MISO is an acronym for Multiple Input Single Output. In this case, multiple transmitting antennas communicate with a receiving antenna having a single antenna. Multiple antennas are employed at the transmitter to enhance the quality and reliability of communications. Transmit diversity and beamforming techniques may be utilized to increase signal quality. For instance, a base station equipped with multiple transmitting antennas may communicate with a mobile phone possessing a single receiving antenna. '''Features:''' * Employing multiple transmitting antennas. * Employing one receiving antenna. * Improving signal reliability. * Employing transmit diversity and beamforming. * Not providing multiple independent spatial data streams to a single-antenna receiver. '''3.4 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output)''' MIMO stands for Multiple Input Multiple Output. In MIMO, there are several transmitting antennas and several receiving antennas. As opposed to SISO, MIMO technology allows for sending multiple data streams at once through the wireless link. This is referred to as spatial multiplexing. In particular, if the wireless router has multiple antennas and so does the device with which it communicates, then multiple data streams can be sent simultaneously provided the channel conditions are proper. In MIMO technology, one can also apply diversity schemes to ensure better communications. '''MIMO characteristics:''' * Several transmitting antennas. * Several receiving antennas. * Spatial multiplexing. * Higher data rates. * Reliable communications. * Signal processing to demultiplex multiple streams. '''3.5 Comparison between SISO, SIMO, MISO, and MIMO''' Below is a table that highlights the distinctions among the four different types of antenna systems. {| class="wikitable" |+ |'''Parameter''' |'''SISO''' |'''SIMO''' |'''MISO''' |'''MIMO''' |- |'''Number of transmitting antennas''' |'''1''' |'''1''' |'''Many''' |'''Many''' |- |'''Number of receiving antennas''' |'''1''' |'''Many''' |'''1''' |'''Many''' |- !Diversity gain !No antenna diversity !Receive diversity !Transmit diversity !Transmit and receive diversity |- !Spatial multiplexing !Not applicable !Not applicable !Not applicable !Applicable if conditions are right |- !Complexity of system !Low !Low to moderate !Low to moderate !Higher |} '''3.6 From MIMO to Massive MIMO''' Traditional MIMO systems already provide improvements in the field of wireless communication because of their multiple antennas. However, with an increasing need for mobile data traffic, the network needs to serve more people and more data traffic. The Massive MIMO system uses the idea of MIMO and utilizes many more antennas at the base station than MIMO does. For instance, while a traditional MIMO system uses only two or four transmitting antennas, the massive MIMO base station utilizes 32 or 64 antenna ports or even more based on its configuration. As a result of the larger array of antennas, the base station will be able to benefit from using the techniques of spatial processing and establish directional beams to communicate with different users through the same time-frequency space. This is one of the main features of Massive MIMO that makes it relevant in the field of 5G communication. === 4. What is Massive MIMO? === [[File:Comparison between Conventional MIMO and Massive MIMO communication systems..png|center]] Massive MIMO is the next level of conventional MIMO, where the base station uses a large number of antennas to transmit to several users at once. The term 'Massive' stands for the big antenna array used in this technology. As seen from the name, the conventional MIMO uses only a small number of antennas. Massive MIMO uses more antennas and, thus, gives more opportunities for transmission and reception of information. All antennas operate within the whole system, and all of them work with the help of signal processing. There are certain features of the Massive MIMO that make it advantageous. First of all, the technology is able to serve several users in the same time and frequency resources. This is due to the fact that the base station uses some spatial processing in order to differentiate users. For instance, imagine a mobile tower that serves several people in a crowded shopping area. The base station is able to change the signals of antennas in such a way as to create several beams and send the data streams to each user. It means that each user receives his/her own data stream while working on the same. '''4.1 Basic Concept of Massive MIMO''' Massive MIMO involves the employment of many antennas to enhance wireless communications. The antennas transmit or receive signals, which are processed by the base station to meet the required performance in communication. Some of the key techniques involved include: '''1. Array Gain''' Through proper combining of signals from many antennas, the receiving end will get a signal that is stronger than the one that would be obtained without such a technique. It is referred to as array gain since it improves the signal to noise ratio when the conditions are favorable. '''2. Spatial Multiplexing''' It enables the transmission of distinct data streams from the base station to multiple receivers at once utilizing the same frequency resources. It increases the information capacity of the network. '''3. Interference Management''' If more than one person is communicating at the same time, then the interference of each other's signal will happen. Massive MIMO manages the interference by using beamforming and precoding for the better reception of the signals. '''4.1 Key Features of Massive MIMO''' The key features of Massive MIMO are as follows: '''1. Large Antenna Array''' The base station has a huge array of antennas. Some of the common array types are 32T32R and 64T64R. '''2. Multi-user Communication''' This system can transmit data to many users simultaneously. '''3. Beamforming''' The base station adapts the transmission of the signals through its antennas so that the radio energy is directed toward the desired recipients. '''4. Spatial Multiplexing''' Multiple data streams can be sent at once by using the same time and frequency slots. This allows an increase in total data capacity. '''5. Higher Spectral Efficiency''' This can be achieved through efficient utilization of the frequency spectrum. '''4.2 Difference between Conventional MIMO and Massive MIMO''' The difference between conventional MIMO and Massive MIMO lies mainly in the number of antennas and the extent of spatial processing involved. {| class="wikitable" !Parameter !Conventional MIMO !Massive MIMO |- |Antenna count |Relatively small |Large antenna array |- |Beamforming |Supported |Advanced multi-user beamforming |- |User capacity |Depends on spatial resources |More simultaneous spatial streams may be supported |- |Processing |Comparatively simpler |More complex |- |Application |4G and wireless systems |5G and advanced wireless systems |} === 5. Architecture of Massive MIMO === Massive MIMO system is made up of different parts that work together to help transmit and receive wireless signals. One of the most identifiable components of this system is an array of antennas that are fitted in the base station. But it is important to understand that an array of antennas alone does not have the capability of executing all the communication functions. Base station gathers information from the network, processes it, and sends it to the users through the antennas. Similarly, in the other direction, the system captures signals coming from the mobile stations, processes them, and then sends the captured information back to the network. Components of Massive MIMO system are discussed below. '''5.1 Antenna Array''' The antenna array is the most crucial part of the Massive MIMO system. It is made up of many antennas placed in a certain configuration. A traditional wireless network may use only a few antennas at the base station. But in the case of Massive MIMO, there are many more antenna elements compared to other systems. Configurations like 32T32R and 64T64R are popular choices for practical 5G systems. The arrangement of these antennas becomes crucial for directing the radio waves. The coordinated actions of multiple antennas allow forming beams pointing in specific directions toward users. Antenna elements can be arranged in several ways: * Uniform Linear Array (ULA): Antennas are arranged linearly. * Uniform Planar Array (UPA): Antennas are arranged in a two-dimensional way. * Three-dimensional antenna arrays: These types of arrangements allow controlling both horizontal and vertical beams. Planar antenna arrays are very handy in 5G base stations as they enable beamforming in azimuth and elevation directions. '''5.2 Radio Frequency (RF) Chains''' The antenna elements work in conjunction with the radio frequency (RF) circuits for signal transmission and reception. These circuits are known as RF chains. The fundamental function of the RF chain is to transform the signal from the digital processing part to the radio frequency domain. In the transmission process, the digital signals are transformed to analog signals and converted to the radio frequency required by the antennas. In the reception process, the reverse process occurs. The received radio signals are transformed to digital signals for analysis by the baseband processor. '''Some of the essential components in the RF chain are:''' * Digital to Analog Converter (DAC): It converts the digital signal into an analog signal. * Analog to Digital Converter (ADC): It converts the analog signal to a digital signal. * Power Amplifier (PA): It amplifies the signal power before transmitting it. * Low Noise Amplifier (LNA): It amplifies the weak received signal without adding noise. * Filters: Filters out unwanted frequency components. * Mixers: It converts the signal from one frequency range to another. The number of RF chains varies based on the architecture of the massive MIMO. In a full digital architecture, one RF chain is usually provided per antenna element. '''5.3 Baseband Processing Unit''' The baseband processing unit is responsible for performing most of the digital signal processing tasks in a Massive MIMO network. It processes the information prior to its transmission and analyzes the received signals after its reception. Also, it makes use of the channel information to determine how the signals should be sent to different users. Some of the functions that are carried out by the baseband processing unit are: * Channel estimation. * Digital beamforming. * Precoding. * Signal detection. * Encoding/decoding of data. * Resource allocation. * Interference management. For instance, in case multiple users are connected to one base station, the baseband processing unit utilizes the channel information to derive appropriate transmission weights that would aid the antenna array in transmitting the data streams in the right direction. '''5.4 User Equipment (UE)''' User Equipment (UE) is the name given to the communication device communicating with the 5G base station. Examples of UE include smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc. In a Massive MIMO setup, the base station communicates with many user devices using its antenna array. The user devices receive the transmitted signals and demodulate the information. In an uplink communication channel, the UE transmits the signals to the base station. The base station receives the transmitted signals from the UE using its antenna array and processes the signals to demodulate the information. While the base station contains a large number of antennas, a mobile phone has relatively few antennas due to space and energy constraints. '''5.5 How These Components Interact to Work''' All the components discussed above interact to ensure wireless communication. There are two ways through which the process is understood: '''Downlink (from the Base Station to the User):''' 1. The baseband processing unit gets the information that needs to be sent. 2. It processes the data and determines appropriate beamforming or precoding weights. 3. The RF chains get the processed data and turn them into radio frequency. 4. The antenna array sends the signals to the users. 5. The user’s devices receive the transmitted information. '''Uplink (from Users to the Base Station):''' 1. The mobile devices send signals to the base station. 2. The antenna array receives signals from many users. 3. The RF chains get the received signals and digitize them. 4. The baseband processing unit demultiplexes the signals. 5. The retrieved information is sent to the network. This way, the base station is able to send and receive data from many users using the same antenna system. [[File:Block Diagram of Massive MIMO Base Station Architecture..png|center]] === 6. How Massive MIMO Works === Massive MIMO technology is based on the use of a large number of antennas at the base station that transmits and receives radio signals from various users. All antennas operate in order to improve the quality of communication and enhance the use of network resources. The operation of massive MIMO includes the following stages: 1. Channel Estimation: The base station obtains pilot signals from users to estimate channel conditions. 2. Precoding: The base station selects the appropriate signal weightings for sending the data to users. 3. Beamforming: The antenna array sends radio signals to the targeted users. 4. Data Transmission: Several data streams are sent at the same time using the same time-frequency resources. 5. Signal Reception: The base station receives the signals from users and restores the transmitted data. [[File:Massive MIMO Working Process Flowchart.png|center]] === 7. Beamforming Technology === Beamforming is the technology that allows focusing of radio waves toward specific users and directions. For Massive MIMO, radio signals from multiple antennas are manipulated such that they can interfere constructively at the desired receiver. There are three main beamforming methods: * Analog Beamforming: Employing phase shifters in radio frequency regime. * Digital Beamforming: Using digital signal processing for manipulating signals from each antenna. * Hybrid Beamforming: Combination of analog and digital schemes. Beamforming technology has many applications and benefits. [[File:Beamforming Techniques in Wireless Communication.png|center|Beamforming Techniques]] === 8. Spatial Multiplexing === In spatial multiplexing, it is possible for a base station to transmit several independent data streams at once using the same frequency and time slots. For instance, a 5G base station may transmit several data streams to various smartphones. This is done by applying signal processing to filter the desired information. The advantages include the following: * Increased rate of data transmission. * Effective use of spectrum. * Higher network capacity. * Concurrent communication with various users. [[File:Massive MIMO Spatial Multiplexing Diagram.png|center|Massive MIMO Spatial Multiplexing]] === 9. Mathematical Modelling of Massive MIMO === Mathematical models provide insights into the signal propagation mechanism within a massive MIMO communication system. '''9.1 MIMO Channel Model''' The received signal can be modeled as: <math display="inline">{y} = {H}{x} +{n}</math> Where: * y = received signal. * H = channel matrix. * x = transmitted signal. n = noise. '''9.2 Beamforming Model''' The beamforming model can be stated as: <math>\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{w}s</math> Where: * w denotes the beamforming weight vector while * s stands for the transmitted data symbol. 9.3 Channel Capacity Shannon capacity of an ideal single user channel can be determined using the following equation: <math>C = B \log_2(1 + \text{SNR})</math> Where B is bandwidth while SNR is the signal to noise ratio. === 10. The Role of Massive MIMO in 5G Communication === Massive MIMO plays a critical role in 5G communication as it is responsible for the increased data load and numerous users to be connected to the network at any one time. The significant advantages offered by Massive MIMO include: * Increased Network Capacity: Can support multiple users at once. * Increased Spectral Efficiency: Efficient utilization of frequencies. * Increased Signal Coverage: Signal beamforming focuses on the user. * Interference Management: Helps in reducing interference through precoding. * Fast Communication: High speed of communication when bandwidth is appropriately utilized. Massive MIMO finds many uses in eMBB. === 11. Conclusion === Massive MIMO is one of the key technologies adopted in 5G wireless communication systems. The technology entails a massive use of antennas at the base station while communicating with multiple users at once. Methods such as beamforming, spatial multiplexing, and precoding increase network capacity as well as effective use of the spectrum. Despite the challenges associated with the technology in terms of hardware, power consumption, and channel estimation, Massive MIMO technology is an integral part of modern wireless communication systems. With further advancements in antenna and signal processing, Massive MIMO is likely to remain an important field of study in future communication systems. qw9diwjcvscmze09xgp9nthp3j4ptpn 0 487048 4681533 4681023 2026-11-11T01:00:42Z JackBot 396820 Formatting, [[Special:UncategorizedPages]] 4681533 wikitext text/x-wiki The binomial coeffiacients of characteristic polynomial of the identity matrix are also described by bell curve and the number of subsets of a finite set of a given size.

Introduction == Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as an important component of today's technology-driven world. AI is being deployed in areas such as speech recognition, image recognition, predictive maintenance, healthcare monitoring, and automation. In most existing Artificial Intelligence applications, till now cloud computing has been extensively utilized. Data gets collected using devices and sent to a distant computer system where calculation takes place. However, this also results in latency, the internet requirement of computers, and issues related to the privacy of data. Edge AI is a new way of introducing artificial intelligence closer to the data source. Using this methodology, the device is capable of analyzing data in real-time and generate predictions, instead of sending all data to a server. Edge AI, if implemented on tiny embedded devices and microcontrollers, comes to be known as TinyML. In this chapter, we will explore Edge AI implementation on microcontrollers, the technologies involved, its architecture, how it can be implemented, its applications, and the technical challenges involved. === 1.1 Objectives === The following are the primary goals for research in Edge AI on MCUs: * Learn the fundamentals of Edge AI and TinyML. * To learn about the mechanism of working on the model. * To learn about the requirement for hardware and software in the deployment of Edge AI. * Goal is to demonstrate the optimization techniques of the model in limited resources environment. * To experiment for the implementation of Intelligent Embedded Systems. == 2. What is Edge AI == Edge AI refers to the execution of algorithms for artificial intelligence in a device that analyzes the information at its source point. These are the devices that can be used: -microcontroller, –embedded processor, –smart sensor, -devices with IoT. As an example of a typical cloud computing architecture, the sensor information is uploaded to the server at a remote site where the analysis of data is performed. However, in case of Edge AI, this analysis is conducted right at the device site. === 2.1 How Edge AI Works === [[File:Edge computing infrastructure.png|thumb|center|500px|Edge computing infrastructure explaining the relation of devices, edge nodes and cloud services.]] In case of an Edge AI solution, the flow of process goes through: - Data acquisition through the sensors of the The process flows in the direction of an Edge AI solution are: Data Collection: Sensors collect data from the environment. # Data Pre-processing: The acquired data is Cleared, filtered, or converted into a suitable format. # Model Run: Your model takes in the training data and comes up with the prediction. # Inference: The model produces an outcome or categorization. # Output: The action is shown based on the prediction.

Introduction to TinyML == TinyML can be defined as a subset of machine learning science whose aim is to apply the machine learning models in small, low-powered devices with limited computational power. Such systems operate in order to execute inference on resource-restricted platforms like microcontrollers.<ref>TensorFlow, "TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers", https://github.com/tensorflow/tflite-micro, accessed 9 November 2026.</ref> Unlike traditional machine learning models that require expensive memory and processors, TinyML models work perfectly well in microcontrollers. TinyML allows intelligence to be incorporated into devices that had been used just for basic controlling and monitoring before. === 3.1 Why TinyML is Important === These systems have microcontrollers as part of their system due to their size, economy, and low power consumption. However, there are shortcomings of using conventional microcontrollers that include: * Random Access Memory (RAM). * Flash memory. * Processing power. * Power consumption. * Computational capabilities. These shortcomings can be overcome by the adoption of smaller machine learning models and optimization. === 3.2 Difference Between Traditional Machine Learning and TinyML === {| class="wikitable" !

ESP32 for Edge AI == ESP32 is a low-cost, low-power system on a chip (SoC) from Espressif Systems. It is widely used in IoT applications as it combines processing power, wireless communication and multiple peripheral interfaces in one device. In the classical IoT paradigm, data from the sensors are transmitted to a server in a cloud. The server then processes the information and sends the result back to the device. The benefit of this is that it only has to send the information over the internet. With Edge AI you can run machine learning algorithms on a local device. The system with ESP32 based machine learning can perform local processing of the data and analysis of the data near or at the sensor rather than in a remote data center. 4.1 Why Edge AI with ESP32? [[File:ESP32 Espressif ESP-WROOM-32 Dev Board.jpg|thumb|center|500px|ESP32 ESP-WROOM-32 development board. Photograph by Ubahnverleih, CC0 1.0.]] Hardware features of ESP32 for low power AI applications: The processor can do simple signal-processing tasks and lightweight machine learning inference. Memory: Input data, intermediate calculations and model execution are stored in internal SRAM. Firmware and model files can be stored in external flash. Sensor Interfacing : GPIO, ADC and I2C and SPI interfaces for sensor interfacing . Wireless connectivity: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are standard features that enable communication with other networks and devices. Power saving: Battery-powered applications can improve their power consumption by using sleep modes 4.2 Role of ESP32 in an Edge AI System [[File:Machine learning workflow diagram.png|thumb|center|500px|Machine learning workflow showing data import, processing, modelling and evaluation. By Brylie Christopher Oxley, CC0 1.0.]] An ESP32-based Edge AI system generally performs four major operations: 1. Data acquisition: Sensors collect data such as temperature, humidity(moisture), vibration, sound or motion. 2. Data preprocessing: The data which is collected is filtered, normalized or converted into a processable format. 3. Local inference: An already trained machine learning model processes the input data and produces the prediction based on that data. 4. Decision and action: The ESP32 uses the prediction to set the output to ON and transmit the data. 5 The Architecture of ESP32 [[File:Espressif ESP32 Chip Function Block Diagram.svg|thumb|center|700px|Functional block diagram of the ESP32 processor showing its CPU, memory, communication interfaces and peripherals. By Brian Krent, CC0 1.0.]] At the heart of the block is the dual-core Xtensa LX6 processor and memory. At the left hand side we can see the peripheral interface blocks such as SPI, I2C, I2S, SDIO, UART, CAN, ETH, IR, PWM, temperature sensor, touch sensor, DAC, and ADC. The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules are situated at the top middle part of the block diagram. The clock generator and the RF transceiver are located at the top right hand of the block. The middle right hand is reserved for the cryptographic hardware accelerator modules such as the SHA, RSA, AES, and RNG. Finally, the bottom middle part is where the RTC, PMU, co-processor, and the recovery memory are. 6 Conclusions Edge AI is an evolution for embedded systems because it allows the use of AI and ML algorithms on the local device rather than depending completely on the internet which is based on cloud computers. To analyse the sensor data on board, decide how to react to certain variable input and to operate with a minimum delay in its communication processes the Embedded systems need this feature. The ESP32 offers a good starting point for EDGE AI projects as it has low processing power, it also has sensor interfaces and wireless connectivity and this all is integrated on a small and inexpensive package. While implementing machine learning models there are certain constraints like power requirements, processor processing power and availability of memory this all is needed to be taken into account. Edge AI have uses in predictive maintenance, smart farming, health monitoring, etc. As Microcontroller technology advances, along with the machine learning models and AI algorithms, the future of Edge AI seems to be bright and promising. == References == # Espressif Systems, ''ESP32 Series Datasheet''.

ESP32 for Edge AI == ESP32 is a low-cost, low-power system on a chip (SoC) from Espressif Systems. It is widely used in IoT applications as it combines processing power, wireless communication and multiple peripheral interfaces in one device. In the classical IoT paradigm, data from the sensors are transmitted to a server in a cloud. The server then processes the information and sends the result back to the device. The benefit of this is that it only has to send the information over the internet. With Edge AI you can run machine learning algorithms on a local device. The system with ESP32 based machine learning can perform local processing of the data and analysis of the data near or at the sensor rather than in a remote data center. === 4.1 Why Edge AI with ESP32? === [[File:ESP32 Espressif ESP-WROOM-32 Dev Board.jpg|thumb|center|500px|ESP32 ESP-WROOM-32 development board. Photograph by Ubahnverleih, CC0 1.0.]] Hardware features of ESP32 for low power AI applications: The processor can do simple signal-processing tasks and lightweight machine learning inference. Memory: Input data, intermediate calculations and model execution are stored in internal SRAM. Firmware and model files can be stored in external flash. Sensor Interfacing : GPIO, ADC and I2C and SPI interfaces for sensor interfacing . Wireless connectivity: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are standard features that enable communication with other networks and devices. Power saving: Battery-powered applications can improve their power consumption by using sleep modes === 4.2 Role of ESP32 in an Edge AI System === [[File:Machine learning workflow diagram.png|thumb|center|500px|Machine learning workflow showing data import, processing, modelling and evaluation. By Brylie Christopher Oxley, CC0 1.0.]] An ESP32-based Edge AI system generally performs four major operations: 1. Data acquisition: Sensors collect data such as temperature, humidity(moisture), vibration, sound or motion. 2. Data preprocessing: The data which is collected is filtered, normalized or converted into a processable format. 3. Local inference: An already trained machine learning model processes the input data and produces the prediction based on that data. 4. Decision and action: The ESP32 uses the prediction to set the output to ON and transmit the data. == 5 .The Architecture of ESP32 == [[File:Espressif ESP32 Chip Function Block Diagram.svg|thumb|center|700px|Functional block diagram of the ESP32 processor showing its CPU, memory, communication interfaces and peripherals. By Brian Krent, CC0 1.0.]] At the heart of the block is the dual-core Xtensa LX6 processor and memory. At the left hand side we can see the peripheral interface blocks such as SPI, I2C, I2S, SDIO, UART, CAN, ETH, IR, PWM, temperature sensor, touch sensor, DAC, and ADC. The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules are situated at the top middle part of the block diagram. The clock generator and the RF transceiver are located at the top right hand of the block. The middle right hand is reserved for the cryptographic hardware accelerator modules such as the SHA, RSA, AES, and RNG. Finally, the bottom middle part is where the RTC, PMU, co-processor, and the recovery memory are. == 6.Conclusions == Edge AI is an evolution for embedded systems because it allows the use of AI and ML algorithms on the local device rather than depending completely on the internet which is based on cloud computers. To analyse the sensor data on board, decide how to react to certain variable input and to operate with a minimum delay in its communication processes the Embedded systems need this feature. The ESP32 offers a good starting point for EDGE AI projects as it has low processing power, it also has sensor interfaces and wireless connectivity and this all is integrated on a small and inexpensive package. While implementing machine learning models there are certain constraints like power requirements, processor processing power and availability of memory this all is needed to be taken into account. Edge AI have uses in predictive maintenance, smart farming, health monitoring, etc. As Microcontroller technology advances, along with the machine learning models and AI algorithms, the future of Edge AI seems to be bright and promising. == References == # Espressif Systems, ''ESP32 Series Datasheet''.

Introduction == Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as an important component of today's technology-driven world. AI is being deployed in areas such as speech recognition, image recognition, predictive maintenance, healthcare monitoring, and automation. In most existing Artificial Intelligence applications, till now cloud computing has been extensively utilized. Data gets collected using devices and sent to a distant computer system where calculation takes place. However, this also results in latency, the internet requirement of computers, and issues related to the privacy of data. Edge AI is a new way of introducing artificial intelligence closer to the data source. Using this methodology, the device is capable of analyzing data in real-time and generate predictions, instead of sending all data to a server. Edge AI, if implemented on tiny embedded devices and microcontrollers, comes to be known as TinyML. === 1.1 Objectives === The following are the primary goals for research in Edge AI on MCUs: * Learn the fundamentals of Edge AI and TinyML. * To learn about the mechanism of working on the model. * To learn about the requirement for hardware and software in the deployment of Edge AI. * Goal is to demonstrate the optimization techniques of the model in limited resources environment. * To experiment for the implementation of Intelligent Embedded Systems. == 2.

Tasks like real-time image recognition, speech recognition and complex machine-learning need a lot of computing power. A regular microcontrolleroften cannot run these tasks quickly or smoothly. Memory is another issue. Embedded AI apps need space for code, sensor data, model settings and temporary calculations.With limited RAM and flash the size and depth of these apps are limited. Traditional microcontrollers also have limited ability to run things at once. Many complex apps need tasks to run together and special chips do that better. Other limitations include: * Computational throughput. * Limited hardware acceleration. * Memory bandwidth constraints. * power and thermal management challenges. * Limited scalability, for advanced applications.

One of the important technologies used in VLSI is complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor(CMOS). CMOS technology is widely used because it provides a balance between performance and power consumption and intergration density. Advanced VLSI design focuses on improving three parameters: # Performance: Increasing processing speed and reducing circuit delays. # Power efficiency: Reducing energy consumption while maintaining computational performance. # Area optimisation: Designing circuits that use semiconductor resources efficiently.

Traditional homogeneous computing systems use the type of processing unit to d many different operations. In contrast heterogeneous computing assigns tasks to hardware that matches the type of each task. For example a CPU is suitable for general-purpose processing. A GPU can quickly perform parallel math operations. An FPGA can be set up for hardware functions. An NPU is made to speed up neural-network computations. The main components of computing include: * Central Processing Unit (CPU) is responsible for general system control, sequential operations and running applications. * Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is designed to run many parallel operations. * Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) provides hardware that can be adapted to specific applications. * Neural Processing Unit (NPU) specialises in speeding up artificial intelligence workloads. The main advantage of computing is that it optimises workloads of one processor doing every operation different processing unit handle that tasks that match their strengths. However heterogeneous computing also brings challenges such as communcations memory management problems, programming complexity and workload scheduling difficulties. This architecture is becoming more important in vehicles, robotics, edge computing and advanced embedded applications. === AI Accelerators === AI accelerators are pieces of hardware made to run AI and machine-learning tasks quickly and well. Modern AI applications need heavy calculations, especially multiplying matrices, handling vectors and running neural-network math. Regular processors can do these tasks. Ai accelerators can do them faster and use less power for jobs they are built for better proformance and energy efficiency for supported workloads. Common types of AI accelerators include: * Neural Processing Units (NPUs). * Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). * Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). * Applications-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICS). * FPGA-based AI accelerators. A key design in AI accelerators is the array. AI accelerators consists of a chain of processors that work together doing math and moving data in a set rhythm. Another key method is quantisation. Quantistaion lowers the number of bits used in AI math, such as swutching from 32-bit floating number to 8-bit integers. This saves memory and power. The exactness of results must be checked. AI accelerators are useful in: * Facial recognition systems. * Surveillance cameras. * Autonomous vehicles. * Voice recognition devices. * Medical image processing. * Automation. By putting computing power right on small devices AI accelerators let real-time smart tasks run without always needing cloud help. == References == <ref>{{Cite web |title=What is Embedded system |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/computer-organization-architecture/introduction-of-embedded-systems-set-1/ |archive-url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/computer-organization-architecture/introduction-of-embedded-systems-set-1/}}</ref>https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/computer-organization-architecture/introduction-of-embedded-systems-set-1/ 4902in8lm7zcg6s8u19ddug5y0f9ugi 4681404 4681362 2026-11-10T16:19:26Z Sarabjitlpu 3629951 4681404 wikitext text/x-wiki == Beyond Microcontroller I think Advanced VLSI builds the Next Generation of Intelligent Embedded Devices == === What is the Embedded System? === An Embedded system is a computer created by mixing both hardware and software to accomplish a particular job.

In the past hardware and software could be made on their own. Todays smart embedded systems need a lot of teamwork between the two because how well the system works depends on both the hardware features and the software way of doing things. For example an AI powered smart camera needs image sensors, a processor, memory and an AI chip. The software has to manage these parts process image information and run the needed recognition steps. Hardware Software Co Design includes key steps: Hardware Software Partitioning: Choosing which tasks should be done in hardware and which should be handle by software. Hardware Description: Using languages like Verilog and VHDL to explain circuits. Software Development: Making firmware, device drivers, parts of an operating system and program applications. Compiler Optimisation: Making software run better by adjusting it to the processor design. System Verification: Checking the mix of hardware and software to find mistakes and performance issues. The main advantages are speed less power use, better use of hardware and better system joining together. Hardware Software Co Design is very important, in car electronics, medical tools, robots and AI enabled systems. === Advanced VLSI Design Flow === Advanced VLSI design flow is the approach used to turn an electronic design idea into a real semiconductor chip. It followa a series of steps starting with understanding what the design needs to do and ending with making the chip and testing it. The main stages are: # Design specification: Engineers figure out what the chip must do they define how it should work how it needs to br how much power it can use, how big it should be and the conditions under which it will operate. # RTL design: At this stage the circuit's behavior and how data moves through it are described using hardware description languages like Verilog or VHDL. This is done at a level focusing on function rather than physical details. # Functional verification: Engineers use simulation and other methods to check if the design works the way it is supposed to they look for bugs. Make sure the design follows its original plan. # Logic synthesis: The RTL description is transformed into a lower-level representation made of logic gates. This is done using a technology library that matches the semiconductor process being used. # Flooringplanning: Engineers decide where the major blocks of the chip will go this includes the processor, memory and other key parts. They plan the layout based on performance and space needs. # Placement: Standard cells, which are pre-designed logic blocks are placed in the chip layout. Their positions are chosen to reduce delays and save space. # Clock-tree synthesis: A clock distribution network is built to send clock signals to all the parts of the chip that need them the goal is to keep clock low and ensure timing is correct. # Routing: Wires are created to connect all the components. Enginners route signals between blocks to ensure communication and avoid interference. # Physical verification: Engineers check timing delays, power usage, signal quality. If the design follows all physical rules. This step find issues that could cause the chip to fail. # Testing: The final is sent to a fabrication plant where the chip is made after manufacturing the chip is tested to make sure it works correctly. Each stage matters because mistakes at any point cause problems. A poor dsign might not work enough use too much power be hard to make or cost too much to produce. Advanced VLSI design tools help engineers deal with the complexity of modern chips. These tools make it possible to bulid high-performance integrated circuits.[[File:Design flow of the vlsi design.png]] == References == <ref>{{Cite web |title=What is Embedded system |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/computer-organization-architecture/introduction-of-embedded-systems-set-1/ |archive-url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/computer-organization-architecture/introduction-of-embedded-systems-set-1/}}</ref>https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/computer-organization-architecture/introduction-of-embedded-systems-set-1/ <references /><ref>{{Cite web |title=design flow of the vlsi design |url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/electronics-engineering/what-is-vlsi/}}</ref>https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/electronics-engineering/what-is-vlsi/ nonanq6n31dip63axdznjqdeghvlvuj 4681414 4681404 2026-11-10T16:41:06Z Sarabjitlpu 3629951 4681414 wikitext text/x-wiki == Beyond Microcontroller I think Advanced VLSI builds the Next Generation of Intelligent Embedded Devices == === What is the Embedded System? === An Embedded system is a computer created by mixing both hardware and software to accomplish a particular job. It is a computer built for a specific purpose. It is not a computer or a general-purpose computer. Embedded systems may work on their own. Be part of a larger system each handling only a few special functions. An Embedded sysetm can run without help or, with very little human help. ==== Components of Embedded Systems ==== # Hardware # Software # Firmware ==== Examples of Embedded Systems ==== * Digital watches * Washing Machine * Toys * Televisions * Digital Phones * Laser Printer ==== Application of Embedded System ==== * Home appliances * Transportation * Health care * Business sector & offices * Defense sector * Aerospace * Agricultural Sector ==== Characteristics of an Embedded Systems ==== * Performs task: An Embedded system does only a particular functions or task. * Low Cost: The price of an Embedded system is not very high. * Time Specific: An Embedded system completes its work within a set time. * High Efficiency: An Embedded system is very efficient. * Less Human interface: An Embedded system needs no or very little human help. * Minimal User interface: An Embedded system needs an user interface and is easy to use. * Stable: An Embedded system rarely changes and stays stable. * High Reliability: An Embedded system works reliably and consistently. * Use microprocessors or microcontrollers: An Embedded system uses microprocessors or microcontrollers and works with limited memory. * Manufacturable: Most Embedded systems are small and cheap to make because of simple hardware design. ==== Block Structure of Embedded System ==== [[File:Block Structure of Embedded system.png]] === Evolution of Mircocontrollers === Microcontrollers or MCUs have come a way. They started as 4-bit chips used in simple calculators and have grown into powerful multi-core System-on-Chip ehgines that run today's Internet of Things devices. ==== 1.The Genesis: 4-bit Era(1970s) ==== * Milestones: Texas Instruments launched the TMS1000 in 1974.

They bring together a processor, memory and input/output parts into one chip. You can find microcontrollers in kitchen appliances, factory machines, cars, health devices and many other gadgets. Even though microcontrollers are very useful trasitional microcontollers have limits when it comes to computing tasks. Their processing power and memory were made for control jobs not for heavy calculations. The biggest problem is processing performance. Tasks like real-time image recognition, speech recognition and complex machine-learning need a lot of computing power. A regular microcontrolleroften cannot run these tasks quickly or smoothly. Memory is another issue. Embedded AI apps need space for code, sensor data, model settings and temporary calculations.With limited RAM and flash the size and depth of these apps are limited. Traditional microcontrollers also have limited ability to run things at once. Many complex apps need tasks to run together and special chips do that better. Other limitations include: * Computational throughput. * Limited hardware acceleration. * Memory bandwidth constraints. * power and thermal management challenges. * Limited scalability, for advanced applications. These limits do not make microcontrollers useless. They still work great for cheap low-power control jobs.Smarter embedded systems now need more powerful chip designs. === Fundamentals of Advanced VLSI === Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) is a semiconductor technology thta allows a large number of transistors and electronic components to be intergrated into a single chip. Modern VLSI technology is responsible for the development of processors, memory devices, communication chips and specialised computing hardware. It plays a role in modern smartphones, computers, automotives electronics and intelligent embedded systems. A semiconductor chip contains millions or billions of transistors. These transistors acts as switches and are used to construct logic gates,memory circuits,processing units and other digital components. One of the important technologies used in VLSI is complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor(CMOS). CMOS technology is widely used because it provides a balance between performance and power consumption and intergration density. Advanced VLSI design focuses on improving three parameters: # Performance: Increasing processing speed and reducing circuit delays. # Power efficiency: Reducing energy consumption while maintaining computational performance. # Area optimisation: Designing circuits that use semiconductor resources efficiently. These parameters are commonly known as PPA (Power, Performance, Area). Advanced VLSI also involves semiconductor fabrication, circuit optimisation, verification and physical design. Improvement, in these areas allow engineers to develop sophisticated intergrated circuits. === System-on-Chip Architecture === A System-on-Chip or SoC is a chip that brings together many electronic parts and processing units. Than using different chips for each big task an SoC puts many parts into one design. This cuts down on connections and make the system smaller, tighter and less power. A typical SoC may contain the following components : * CPU: Runs instructions and manages system tasks. * GPU: Works on graphics and many tasks at once. * NPU: Speeds up AI and many tasks at once. * Memory controller: Handles talk between processors and memory. * DSP: Does speical digital signal-processing jobs. * Communication interfaces: Allow USB, Ethernet and wireless links. * Power management unit: Directs power to each part. Internal wires and buses manage how these parts talk to each other. SoC design is very useful, in smartphones, smart cameras, cars, robots and IoT gadgets. A big benefit of SoC tech is that many computing jobs can run inside a small hardware set. This lets us build embedded devices that can do advanced work.[[File:System-on-Chip.png]] === Heterogeneous Computing === Heterogeneous computing is a way of using types of processors or cmputing units inside a single system. Traditional homogeneous computing systems use the type of processing unit to d many different operations. In contrast heterogeneous computing assigns tasks to hardware that matches the type of each task. For example a CPU is suitable for general-purpose processing. A GPU can quickly perform parallel math operations. An FPGA can be set up for hardware functions. An NPU is made to speed up neural-network computations. The main components of computing include: * Central Processing Unit (CPU) is responsible for general system control, sequential operations and running applications. * Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is designed to run many parallel operations. * Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) provides hardware that can be adapted to specific applications. * Neural Processing Unit (NPU) specialises in speeding up artificial intelligence workloads. The main advantage of computing is that it optimises workloads of one processor doing every operation different processing unit handle that tasks that match their strengths. However heterogeneous computing also brings challenges such as communcations memory management problems, programming complexity and workload scheduling difficulties. This architecture is becoming more important in vehicles, robotics, edge computing and advanced embedded applications. [[File:Parallel computing Heterogeneous Computing.png]] === AI Accelerators === AI accelerators are pieces of hardware made to run AI and machine-learning tasks quickly and well. Modern AI applications need heavy calculations, especially multiplying matrices, handling vectors and running neural-network math. Regular processors can do these tasks. Ai accelerators can do them faster and use less power for jobs they are built for better proformance and energy efficiency for supported workloads. Common types of AI accelerators include: * Neural Processing Units (NPUs). * Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). * Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). * Applications-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICS). * FPGA-based AI accelerators. A key design in AI accelerators is the array. AI accelerators consists of a chain of processors that work together doing math and moving data in a set rhythm. Another key method is quantisation. Quantistaion lowers the number of bits used in AI math, such as swutching from 32-bit floating number to 8-bit integers. This saves memory and power. The exactness of results must be checked. AI accelerators are useful in: * Facial recognition systems. * Surveillance cameras. * Autonomous vehicles. * Voice recognition devices. * Medical image processing. * Automation. By putting computing power right on small devices AI accelerators let real-time smart tasks run without always needing cloud help. === Hardware Software Co Design === Hardware Software Co Design is an engineering approach where hardware structure and software creation are thought about together while building a system. In the past hardware and software could be made on their own. Todays smart embedded systems need a lot of teamwork between the two because how well the system works depends on both the hardware features and the software way of doing things. For example an AI powered smart camera needs image sensors, a processor, memory and an AI chip. The software has to manage these parts process image information and run the needed recognition steps. Hardware Software Co Design includes key steps: Hardware Software Partitioning: Choosing which tasks should be done in hardware and which should be handle by software. Hardware Description: Using languages like Verilog and VHDL to explain circuits. Software Development: Making firmware, device drivers, parts of an operating system and program applications. Compiler Optimisation: Making software run better by adjusting it to the processor design. System Verification: Checking the mix of hardware and software to find mistakes and performance issues. The main advantages are speed less power use, better use of hardware and better system joining together. Hardware Software Co Design is very important, in car electronics, medical tools, robots and AI enabled systems. === Advanced VLSI Design Flow === Advanced VLSI design flow is the approach used to turn an electronic design idea into a real semiconductor chip.

There are several diagrams for each device, corresponding to the different packages in which it is produced. The F2013 is available in a traditional 14-pin plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP) with pins 0.1 apart, which is a boon for hobbyists and students—a device that is large enough to solder easily by hand. There is also a plastic small-outline thin package (TSSOP). This has a similar shape but is a surface-mount device with pins 0.65 mm (about 0.025) apart. A general warning: Packages with the same shape do not always have the same pin-out. This does not apply to the F2013, but I have been caught out by other companies’ products. The third option is a tiny, quad flatpack no-lead (QFN) package, which is about 4 mm square with pads 0.65 mm apart. This has 16 leads instead of 14, which allows the analog and digital power connections to be brought out separately for better performance. The pin-out for the PDIP and TSSOP packages is shown in Figure 2.1. Perhaps the most obvious feature is that almost all pins have several functions. This is typical of a modern, small microcontroller. Silicon is cheap but pins are expensive. The aim is therefore to integrate as many functions into as small a package as possible. Most applications do not use all the peripherals so, with luck, there is no conflict where a design needs more than one function on a pin simultaneously. A more detailed list of the functions on each pin is tabulated under Terminal Functions in the data sheet. Here is a sketchy description—the details are covered later in the section on each peripheral: • VCC and VSS are the supply voltage and ground for the whole device (the analog and digital supplies are separate in the 16-pin package). • P1.0–P1.7, P2.6, and P2.7 are for digital input and output, grouped into ports P1 and P2. • TACLK, TA0, and TA1 are associated with Timer_A; TACLK can be used as the clock input to the timer, while TA0 and TA1 can be either inputs or outputs. These can be used on several pins because of the importance of the timer. A0−, A0+, and so on, up to A4±, are inputs to the analog-to-digital converter. It has four differential channels, each of which has negative and positive inputs. VREF is the reference voltage for the converter. • ACLK and SMCLK are outputs for the microcontroller’s clock signals. These can be used to supply a clock to external components or for diagnostic purposes. • SCLK, SDO, and SCL are used for the universal serial interface, which communicates with external devices using the serial peripheral interface (SPI) or inter-integrated circuit (I2 C) bus. • XIN and XOUT are the connections for a crystal, which can be used to provide an accurate, stable clock frequency. • RST is an active low reset signal. Active low means that it remains high near VCC for normal operation and is brought low near VSS to reset the chip. Alternative notations to show the active low nature are _RST and /RST. • NMI is the nonmaskable interrupt input, which allows an external signal to interrupt the normal operation of the program. • TCK, TMS, TCLK, TDI, TDO, and TEST form the full JTAG interface, used to program and debug the device. • SBWTDIO and SBWTCK provide the Spy-Bi-Wire interface, an alternative to the usual JTAG connection that saves pins. A less common feature of the MSP430 is that some functions are available at several pins rather than a single one. This applies to Timer_A in the F2013. Channel 0 (TA0) is brought out to pins shared with P1.1 and P1.5 but their functionality is not identical: P1.1 can be used for both a “capture” input and a “compare” output but P1.5 is available only for output. Similarly TA1 is shared with P1.2, P1.6, and P2.6. All can provide an output, but only P1.2 can be configured for input to the timer. The details are set out in the table of Terminal Functions in the data sheet and explained further in the section on Timer_A2. One of the first tasks in a program for a microcontroller is to configure the functions of each pin. All the pins can be used by a program except VCC and VSS for power and TEST/SBWTCK, which is reserved for debugging. '''Memory:-''' The memory system can be viewed as a pile of pigeonholes, as we saw in the section “Memory” on page 11. Each register or pigeonhole holds 8 bits or 1 byte and this is the smallest entity that can be transferred to and from memory, as in most processors. The memory address bus is 16 bits wide so there are 216 = 65,536 = 64 K = 0x10000 addresses. The first address is 0, like arrays in C, so the range is 0x0000 to 0xFFFF although not all these may be meaningful in a particular device. In other words, there may be no physical register at some addresses. On the other hand, 0 is a perfectly valid address (it is the Interrupt Enable 1 register, IE1), even though the NULL pointer in C usually has the value 0. There are no connections for bringing the buses outside the chip to attach external memory. Nor is there any provision for increasing the amount of memory in the MSP430 by selecting banks or pages, as in some other processors. The MSP430X extends the range of memory by a factor of 16 to 220 bytes by adding a further 4 bits to the address bus and the registers in the CPU. The memory data bus is 16 bits wide and can transfer either a word of 16 bits or a byte of 8 bits. Bytes may be accessed at any address but words need more care. The address of a word is defined to be the address of the byte with the lower address, which must be even. Thus the two bytes at 0x0200 and 0x0201 can be considered as a valid word with address 0x0200, which may be fetched in a single cycle of the bus. This is shown in Figure 2.3. On the other hand, it is not possible to treat the two bytes at 0x0201 and 0x0202 as a single word because their address would be 0x0201, which is odd and therefore invalid. These two bytes straddle the boundary of two words. The memory system of some 16-bit processors can handle misaligned words like these, usually at the cost of an extra bus cycle, but the MSP430 does not. An important case is that instructions are composed of words and must therefore lie on even addresses. Suppose that a word contains the hexadecimal value 0x1234. Its more significant (high-order) byte is 0x12 and the less significant (low-order) byte is 0x34. There are two ways in which these two bytes can be stored in the two bytes of a word in memory and both are in use. Little-endian ordering: The low-order byte is stored at the lower address and the high-order byte at the higher address. This is used by the MSP430 and is the more common format. Big-endian ordering: The high-order byte is stored at the lower address. This is used by the Freescale HCS08, for instance. Little-endian ordering may appear more logical but has one awkward outcome. A debugger usually displays the contents of memory by showing the value of each byte by default. Addresses increase from left to right across each line. This means that the low-order byte is displayed first, followed by the high-order byte. Thus our value of 0x1234 is displayed as 34 12. It is easy to be puzzled by this. A simple solution is to display the contents of memory in words instead. Bits within a byte or word are numbered with 0 being the least significant bit (lsb), conventionally written on the right, and 7 or 15 the most significant bit (msb). Unfortunately the same initials stand for most or least significant byte as well. I use LSB and MSB to distinguish these but TI use LSB and MSB for bits in their documents. '''Central Processing Unit:-''' The central processing unit (CPU) executes the instructions stored in memory. It steps through the instructions in the sequence in which they are stored in memory until it encounters a branch or when an exception occurs (interrupt or reset). It includes the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), which performs computation, a set of 16 registers designated R0–R15 and the logic needed to decode the instructions and implement them. The CPU can run at a maximum clock frequency fMCLK of 16 MHz in the MSP430F2xx family and some newer MSP430x4xx devices, and 8 MHz in the others. It is built using static logic, which means that there is no minimum frequency of operation: The CPU can be stopped and will retain its state until it is restarted. This is essential for low-power operation to be straightforward. The registers are shown in Figure 2.5. Each can hold a word of 16 bits. They do not have addresses in the main memory map, unlike some other designs of processors. The first four registers have dedicated functions with alternative names, while the remaining 12 R4–R15 are working registers for general purposes. Either words or bytes can be written to the CPU registers but the behavior for bytes is different from main memory: The destination is always the low byte and the high byte is cleared (reset to 0). The generous set of 16 registers is characteristic of a reduced instruction set computer (RISC). This contrasts with the PIC16 family, for instance, where most operations on data must go through the working register W and indirect addressing is restricted to the single register FSR. The Freescale HCS12 is an example of a traditional, accumulator-based, 16-bit architecture in a complex instruction set computer (CISC). Its CPU contains the usual stack pointer, program counter, and condition code (status) register. In addition, there is a single accumulator for data and two index registers for addresses. These three dedicated registers can be compared with the 12 general-purpose registers in the MSP430, which can be used for either addresses or data.Program counter, PC: This contains the address of the next instruction to be executed, “points to” the instruction in the usual jargon. Instructions are composed of 1–3 words, which must be aligned to even addresses, so the lsb of the PC is hard-wired to 0. Stack pointer, SP: When a subroutine is called, the CPU jumps to the subroutine, executes the code there, then returns to the instruction after the call. It must therefore keep track of the contents of the PC before jumping to the subroutine, so that it can return afterward. This is the primary purpose of the stack. Some processors use separate hardware for the stack but the MSP430 uses the top (high addresses) of the main RAM. The stack pointer holds the address of the most recently added word and is automatically adjusted as the stack grows downward in memory or shrinks upward. Status register, SR: This contains a set of flags (single bits), whose functions fall into three categories. The most commonly used flags are C, Z, N, and V, which give information about the result of the last arithmetic or logical operation. The Z flag is set if the result was zero and cleared if it was nonzero, for instance. Decisions that affect the flow of control in the program can be made by testing these bits. Setting the GIE bit enables maskable interrupts, which is explained in the section “Interrupts” on page 186. We do not use interrupts for the time being. The final group of bits is CPUOFF, OSCOFF, SCG0, and SCG1, which control the mode of operation of the MCU. All systems are active when all bits are clear. Setting various combinations of these bits puts the MCU into one of its low-power modes, which is described in the section “Low-Power Modes of Operation” on page 198. We keep the CPU active for now. Constant generator: This provides the six most frequently used values so that they need not be fetched from memory whenever they are needed. It uses both R2 and R3 to provide a range of useful values by exploiting the CPU’s addressing modes. This will be explained in the section “Constant Generator and Emulated Instructions” on page 131 but the compiler or assembler handles the details automatically. General purpose registers: The remaining 12 registers, R4–R15, are general working registers. They may be used for either data or addresses because both are 16-bit values, which simplifies the operation significantly '''Other Peripherals''' '''Clock Generator:-''' Basically the clock signal is a square wave whose edges trigger hardware throughout the device so that the changes in different components are synchronized. Clocks for microcontrollers used to be simple. Usually a crystal with a frequency of a few MHz would be connected to two pins. It would drive the CPU directly and was typically divided down by a factor of 2 or 4 for the main bus. Unfortunately, the conflicting demands for high performance and low power mean that most modern microcontrollers have much more complicated clocks, often with two or more sources. In many applications the MCU spends most of its time in a low-power mode until some event occurs, when it must wake up and handle the event rapidly. It is often necessary to keep track of real time, either so that the MCU can wake periodically (every second or minute, for instance) or to time-stamp external events. Therefore, two clocks with quite different specifications are often needed: • A fast clock to drive the CPU, which can be started and stopped rapidly to conserve energy but usually need not be particularly accurate. • A slow clock that runs continuously to monitor real time, which must therefore use little power and may need to be accurate. Several types of oscillator are used to generate the clock signal. These are the two extreme types, which are also the most common: Crystal: Accurate (the frequency is close to what it says on the can, typically within 1 part in 105) and stable (does not change greatly with time or temperature). Crystals for microcontrollers typically run at either a high frequency of a few MHz to drive the main bus or a low frequency of 32,768 Hz for a real-time clock. The disadvantages are that crystals are expensive and delicate, the oscillator draws a relatively large current, particularly at high frequency, and the crystal is an extra component and may need two capacitors as well. Crystal oscillators also take a long time to start up and stabilize, often around 105 cycles, which is an unavoidable side effect of their high stability. Resistor and capacitor (RC): Cheap and quick to start but used to have poor accuracy and stability. The components can be external but are now more likely to be integrated within the MCU. The quality of integrated RC oscillators has improved dramatically in recent years and the F20xx provides four frequencies calibrated at the factory to within ±1%. b41jls5druvh1kdulgetlb5equ1d785 4681424 4681330 2026-11-10T17:07:14Z Vedantika Gaikwad 3629882 Added more section 4681424 wikitext text/x-wiki Overview of MSP430 '''The Outside View—Pin-Out''' :- The pin-out shows which interior functions are connected to each pin of the package. There are several diagrams for each device, corresponding to the different packages in which it is produced. The F2013 is available in a traditional 14-pin plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP) with pins 0.1 apart, which is a boon for hobbyists and students—a device that is large enough to solder easily by hand. There is also a plastic small-outline thin package (TSSOP). This has a similar shape but is a surface-mount device with pins 0.65 mm (about 0.025) apart. A general warning: Packages with the same shape do not always have the same pin-out. This does not apply to the F2013, but I have been caught out by other companies’ products. The third option is a tiny, quad flatpack no-lead (QFN) package, which is about 4 mm square with pads 0.65 mm apart. This has 16 leads instead of 14, which allows the analog and digital power connections to be brought out separately for better performance. The pin-out for the PDIP and TSSOP packages is shown in Figure 2.1. Perhaps the most obvious feature is that almost all pins have several functions. This is typical of a modern, small microcontroller. Silicon is cheap but pins are expensive. The aim is therefore to integrate as many functions into as small a package as possible. Most applications do not use all the peripherals so, with luck, there is no conflict where a design needs more than one function on a pin simultaneously. A more detailed list of the functions on each pin is tabulated under Terminal Functions in the data sheet. Here is a sketchy description—the details are covered later in the section on each peripheral: • VCC and VSS are the supply voltage and ground for the whole device (the analog and digital supplies are separate in the 16-pin package). • P1.0–P1.7, P2.6, and P2.7 are for digital input and output, grouped into ports P1 and P2. • TACLK, TA0, and TA1 are associated with Timer_A; TACLK can be used as the clock input to the timer, while TA0 and TA1 can be either inputs or outputs. These can be used on several pins because of the importance of the timer. A0−, A0+, and so on, up to A4±, are inputs to the analog-to-digital converter. It has four differential channels, each of which has negative and positive inputs. VREF is the reference voltage for the converter. • ACLK and SMCLK are outputs for the microcontroller’s clock signals. These can be used to supply a clock to external components or for diagnostic purposes. • SCLK, SDO, and SCL are used for the universal serial interface, which communicates with external devices using the serial peripheral interface (SPI) or inter-integrated circuit (I2 C) bus. • XIN and XOUT are the connections for a crystal, which can be used to provide an accurate, stable clock frequency. • RST is an active low reset signal. Active low means that it remains high near VCC for normal operation and is brought low near VSS to reset the chip. Alternative notations to show the active low nature are _RST and /RST. • NMI is the nonmaskable interrupt input, which allows an external signal to interrupt the normal operation of the program. • TCK, TMS, TCLK, TDI, TDO, and TEST form the full JTAG interface, used to program and debug the device. • SBWTDIO and SBWTCK provide the Spy-Bi-Wire interface, an alternative to the usual JTAG connection that saves pins. A less common feature of the MSP430 is that some functions are available at several pins rather than a single one. This applies to Timer_A in the F2013. Channel 0 (TA0) is brought out to pins shared with P1.1 and P1.5 but their functionality is not identical: P1.1 can be used for both a “capture” input and a “compare” output but P1.5 is available only for output. Similarly TA1 is shared with P1.2, P1.6, and P2.6. All can provide an output, but only P1.2 can be configured for input to the timer. The details are set out in the table of Terminal Functions in the data sheet and explained further in the section on Timer_A2. One of the first tasks in a program for a microcontroller is to configure the functions of each pin. All the pins can be used by a program except VCC and VSS for power and TEST/SBWTCK, which is reserved for debugging. [[File:MSP430_part_number_large.png|MSP430_part_number_large]] '''Memory:-''' The memory system can be viewed as a pile of pigeonholes, as we saw in the section “Memory” on page 11. Each register or pigeonhole holds 8 bits or 1 byte and this is the smallest entity that can be transferred to and from memory, as in most processors. The memory address bus is 16 bits wide so there are 216 = 65,536 = 64 K = 0x10000 addresses. The first address is 0, like arrays in C, so the range is 0x0000 to 0xFFFF although not all these may be meaningful in a particular device. In other words, there may be no physical register at some addresses. On the other hand, 0 is a perfectly valid address (it is the Interrupt Enable 1 register, IE1), even though the NULL pointer in C usually has the value 0. There are no connections for bringing the buses outside the chip to attach external memory. Nor is there any provision for increasing the amount of memory in the MSP430 by selecting banks or pages, as in some other processors. The MSP430X extends the range of memory by a factor of 16 to 220 bytes by adding a further 4 bits to the address bus and the registers in the CPU. The memory data bus is 16 bits wide and can transfer either a word of 16 bits or a byte of 8 bits. Bytes may be accessed at any address but words need more care. The address of a word is defined to be the address of the byte with the lower address, which must be even. Thus the two bytes at 0x0200 and 0x0201 can be considered as a valid word with address 0x0200, which may be fetched in a single cycle of the bus. This is shown in Figure 2.3. On the other hand, it is not possible to treat the two bytes at 0x0201 and 0x0202 as a single word because their address would be 0x0201, which is odd and therefore invalid. These two bytes straddle the boundary of two words. The memory system of some 16-bit processors can handle misaligned words like these, usually at the cost of an extra bus cycle, but the MSP430 does not. An important case is that instructions are composed of words and must therefore lie on even addresses. Suppose that a word contains the hexadecimal value 0x1234. Its more significant (high-order) byte is 0x12 and the less significant (low-order) byte is 0x34. There are two ways in which these two bytes can be stored in the two bytes of a word in memory and both are in use. Little-endian ordering: The low-order byte is stored at the lower address and the high-order byte at the higher address. This is used by the MSP430 and is the more common format. Big-endian ordering: The high-order byte is stored at the lower address. This is used by the Freescale HCS08, for instance. Little-endian ordering may appear more logical but has one awkward outcome. A debugger usually displays the contents of memory by showing the value of each byte by default. Addresses increase from left to right across each line. This means that the low-order byte is displayed first, followed by the high-order byte. Thus our value of 0x1234 is displayed as 34 12. It is easy to be puzzled by this. A simple solution is to display the contents of memory in words instead. Bits within a byte or word are numbered with 0 being the least significant bit (lsb), conventionally written on the right, and 7 or 15 the most significant bit (msb). Unfortunately the same initials stand for most or least significant byte as well. I use LSB and MSB to distinguish these but TI use LSB and MSB for bits in their documents. '''Central Processing Unit:-''' The central processing unit (CPU) executes the instructions stored in memory. It steps through the instructions in the sequence in which they are stored in memory until it encounters a branch or when an exception occurs (interrupt or reset). It includes the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), which performs computation, a set of 16 registers designated R0–R15 and the logic needed to decode the instructions and implement them. The CPU can run at a maximum clock frequency fMCLK of 16 MHz in the MSP430F2xx family and some newer MSP430x4xx devices, and 8 MHz in the others.

The quality of integrated RC oscillators has improved dramatically in recent years and the F20xx provides four frequencies calibrated at the factory to within ±1%. '''Interrupts Reset''' Interrupts: Usually generated by hardware (although they can be initiated by software) and often indicate that an event has occurred that needs an urgent response. A packet of data might have been received, for instance, and needs to be processed before the next packet arrives. The processor stops what it was doing, stores enough information (the contents of the program counter and status register) for it to resume later on and executes an interrupt service routine (ISR). It returns to its previous activity when the ISR has been completed. Thus an ISR is something like a subroutine called by hardware (at an unpredictable time) rather than software. A second use of interrupts, which is particularly important in the MSP430, is to wake the processor from a low-power state. Resets: Again usually generated by hardware, either when power is applied or when something catastrophic has happened and normal operation cannot continue. This can happen accidentally if the watchdog timer has not been disabled, which is easy to forget. A reset causes the device to (re)start from a well-defined state. '''Development Environment''' A development system includes some or all of these functions. The editor, compilers, and linker are usually combined into an integrated development environment (IDE), which keeps track of all the files required for a complete project—source files, headers, linker scripts, and so on—and looks much like you would expect for a desktop computer. Editor: Used to write and edit programs (usually C or assembly code). A good editor helps you to lay out the code logically and use colors to highlight syntax. It is very helpful to have a quick way of locating the definition of symbols in header files, because these are used heavily in embedded systems. Assembler or compiler: Produces executable code and checks for errors, preferably providing helpful messages. There may be add-ons to provide extra checking, such as MISRA C or “lint” for C programs. The degree of optimization can be changed; typically, you want limited optimization or none at all during debugging. Different dialects of C may be available with extensions for embedded systems. Linker: Combines compiled files and routines from libraries and arranges them for the correct types of memory in the MCU. Stand-alone simulator: Simulates the operation of the MCU on a desktop computer without the real hardware. Many simulators model only the CPU and memory but some also include peripherals. Simulation has the advantage that you have complete control and view of the MCU; the disadvantage is that it is tricky to simulate inputs and interrupts, which are an important part of most systems. www.newnespress.com Development 45 Embedded emulator/debugger: Allows software to run on the MCU in its target system under the control of a debugger running on a desktop computer, which usually has the same front end as the simulator. The computer and MCU communicate through a special interface, JTAG for the MSP430. This needs special emulation hardware on the MCU, which improves all the time. In-circuit emulator: Specialized and expensive ($1000s) hardware that emulates the operation of the MCU under the control of debugging software running on a desktop computer. It does not use the usual version of the MCU but a special “bond-out” chip that provides access to the internal hardware of the emulated device. It is difficult even to connect an emulator in place of a modern MCU, whose pins (if any) may be only 0.5 mm apart. Highly sophisticated breakpoints and other traces can be made, but this equipment is now largely obsolete for small microcontrollers, which contain embedded emulation for free. Flash programmer: Downloads (“burns”) the program into flash memory on the MCU. This is done automatically by the debugger in development but a dedicated programmer is used in production. 4wz2o1z6n552p8f1246hgqn5h8vplvs 2 487091 4681315 2026-11-10T13:04:54Z Amal6118 3629932 Created page with "== RISC V Based Custom SoC on FPGA == === Embedded Systems === RISC-V is also it is termed as "RISC-Five" it is a useful and free instruction set architecture(ISA).An ISA is basic set of commands a processor understands for eg. addition,subtraction and multiplication loading data from the memory and jumping to another instuction. it is a way of communication between hardware and software programs are compiled into these instructions and it is executed accordingly.

'''Applications''':It is widely and professionally used in embedded systems,IoT products and research chips. <u>'''Most Interesting Application'''</u> With RISC-V we can build "'''RISC-V based custom SoC on an FPGA'''" in simple language we can create our own small computer chip design and running it on a programmable chip instead of manufacturing real silicon. Unlike ARM or x86, we don’t need to pay license fees to use it, so anyone can design a processor with it. SoC (System on Chip) means putting all the major parts of a computer onto one chip: the processor core, memory, and peripherals like UART, SPI, I2C, timers, and GPIO pins. FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a special chip whose internal wiring can be reprogrammed again and again, so we can test with our own hardware design without the huge cost of making a real chip.In this application, we pick a RISC-V core (such as PicoRV32, VexRiscv, or Rocket), connect it to memory and the peripherals things we need using a bus like Wishbone or AXI, and describe everything in a hardware language like Verilog, VHDL, or Chisel. the design is loaded onto an FPGA board (for example, Xilinx Artix-7 or Lattice iCE40) and write C programs that run on your own processor. Because it’s custom, we can add or remove features, such as a special hardware accelerator for AI, encryption, or signal processing, to make it fit a specific application.

Underneath, the sleek carbon-fibre bodywork there lies numerous amounts of control systems and sensors that combines mechanical engineering, advanced control system engineering. Although a Formula 1 car is not completely robotic, many of the technologies are closely related to robotics and automation. Sensors monitor the car, electronics systems process the information in real-time, control systems helps in the overall functioning of the car. Together, technologies like these help the team in totally to help the driver and the car achieve full potential and optimise for extraordinary performance. == Sensors: The Eyes and Ears of an Formula 1 Car == Keeping your sensors working in harmony is crucial and these few simple checks should become part of your pre-race set up. Formula 1 cars use a similar principle, relying on numerous sensors to collect information about the the car in general. '''Sensors in an F1 car include some of the below:''' ''Temperature sensors:'' They monitor critical temperatures in the engine, brakes, tyres and other components. This data helps identify overheating and understand how systems behave in a race. [[File:2024 Spanish Grand Prix (53811273184).jpg|thumb|303x303px|Thermal sensors are used throughout the car to monitor temperature in the tyre, brakes and cockpit, for safety and performance.]] ''Pressure Sensors:'' Pressure parameters such as hydraulic pressure and pressure within various vehicle systems. They help engineers monitor system performance and identify abnormal conditions. Wheel-speed encoders : Located directly behind each motor is a wheel encoder. Each wheel encoder is used to count the number of times the motor (left or right) has rotated. This can be used to calculate the distance that the robot has driven or turned. [[File:Rear Slick tyres Goodyear F1 (13923384082).jpg|thumb|221x221px|''Wheel-speed encoders are used in each tyres.'']] Accelerometer and gyroscopes: These measure acceleration and rotational movement. Similar sensor are widely used in robotics to estimate movement and orientation. In motor sport, it's an important information to know how the tyres respond to the slightest change brought by the driver. Steering and pedal sensors: These monitor driver inputs, helping engineers understand how the driver interacts with the car and compare driving behaviour with the vehicle response. ==== Data collected by these sensors are crucial that provides engineers with a detailed picture of the car's behaviour through a race weekend. ==== == The ECU : The Brain of the Formula 1 Car == One of the most important part of the F1 car is the brain itself which is in its Electronic Control Unit (ECU). ==== What is an ECU? ==== The abbreviation ECU is widely used to refer to an engine control unit in a car. Although ECU can also be used to represent any electronic control unit. You might also find that people refer to the control module that manages a car’s engine as an ECM, for engine control module. This is particularly common outside of the UK, particularly in parts of North America. [[File:1 ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT - FRONT PANEL AND INNER FRONT - NARA - 17426218.jpg|thumb|340x340px|Cross-section of an ECU.]] ECU receives information from different sensors, processes the signals using programmed logic, and managed permitted vehicle functions through connected electronic systems and actuators. These systems must operate within the technical regulations established by the Fédération Internationale de I'Automobile (FIA). This ensures that teams cannot simply introduce unrestricted electronic control technologies to gain an unfair advantage. == Control Systems : Turning Data into Performance == Sensors alone cannot improve a car's performance.Their real value comes from how the collected information is interpreted and used. Engineers analyse vehicle data to understand how the car responds to different driving conditions.Electronics systems also use sensor inputs to manage permitted functions and maintain reliable operation. However, it is important to understand that F1 cars do not have unrestricted autonomous control. The driver remains responsible for driving the car, and many technologies commonly fournd inr road cars, such as ABS and electronic stability control, are prohibited. == Brake-by-Wire : A Real Example of Mechatronics in F1 == One of the most fascinating examples of advanced control technology in Formula 1 is Brake-by-Wire. Traditional braking systems rely primarily on mechanical and hydraulic connections between the driver's input and the brakes. Brake-by-wire introduces electronics control into this process. In modern Formula 1 cars, brake-by-wire is used for the rear braking system, where it helps managing braking alongside the energy recovery system. [[File:Internal combustion engine pistons of partial cross-sectional view.jpg|thumb|ICE, simple combustion chamber]] During braking, the car's kinetic energy can be recovered through the Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic (MGU-K). It is a component of a hybrid-electric power unit. The unit is both an electric generator and motor. Connected directly to the crankshaft of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) by gears, it performs two functions: under acceleration it helps power the engine, and under braking it uses the energy that would have been dissipated as heat to recharge the batteries. It goes through that cycle several times each lap: drawing electricity to help the engine deliver power, and generating electricity while helping the engine slow the car. For robotics it is an interesting concept that leads to the field of mechatronics: the integration of mechanical engineering, electronics, embedded software and control systems. It demonstrates how electronics can give high performance it a machine which requires high precision and accuracy. == Telemetry: Connecting the Car to the Engineers == Imagine driving a Formula 1 car at over 300 km/h while engineers analyse the performance from the pit wall. ''Telemetry:'' It is an automated collection and transmission of data and measurements from distributed or remote sources to a central system for monitoring, analysis and resource optimisation. During an F1 race the car itself sends important information to its team's engineers. This is collected which in turn lets the engineers analyse the temperature, pressures, energy systems and other parameters. It is also used to compare one driver with another on the track by analysing each others car. However, telemetry does not mean engineers can remotely control the car. Under FIA regulation, team-to-car telemetry is generally prohibited, apart from the specially permitted communications. The system primarily allows engineers to monitor and analyse the car rather than operate it remotely. == The Human-Machine Connection == This part mainly emphasis on the most important element of a Formula 1 Car, the driver seated in the cockpit itself. He at the end of the day has control over the car knows what the car is going through in each circumstances. [[File:Caterham steering wheel at Goodwood 2012.jpg|thumb|359x359px|Modular Formula 1 Car steering wheel.]] The steering wheel itself is an interesting example of human-machine connection. It contains buttons, switches, rotatory controls and display that continuously keeps updating the driver of what's going on in the car in real time. All of the controls available on the steering are important as they control the control systems provided within the car. Its a complex piece of engineering as it allows to control the complex machines efficiently. In Formula 1, the greatest challenge of the sport is the split second decision taking mentality of the drivers themselves while travelling at incredible speeds and experiencing tremendous amounts of G-Force. Hence, it is mandatory to make the driver comfortable in the car, know his car's mechanisms and not be overwhelmed by fastest racing road vehicle on the planet. == Integration of Formula 1 Into Robotics == Several valuable lessons are provided from the field of racing into robotics. Firstly, the importance of real-time processing of data cannot be ignored as it is the make or break point in this field. It should respond to quick changes and adapt as well. Secondly, It highlights the importance of sensor accuracy. Incorrect measurements can lead to disasters. Therefore it is essential to have precise sensor calibration on each sensor component used. Third, it demonstrates the importance of integrating mechanical, electrical and software systems. A successful machine depends on everything working together in sync and coordination. [[File:Manoir De l'Automobile's Formula One Room.jpg|thumb|425x425px|Formula 1 cars used in races.]] Finally, Formula 1 highlights the importance of reliability under extreme conditions. Electronic systems must operate despite vibration, heat, pressure and continuous physical stress. These principles are equally important in autonomous vehicles, industrial robots, aerospace systems and advanced manufacturing. == Conclusion == Formula 1 is much more than just a racing competition. It is a remarkable example of how engineering disciplines come together to create one of the most advanced machines on earth. For anyone out there, the most fascinating aspect is how a machine travelling at incredible speeds can continuously generate data, process information and coordinate complex systems while remaining under the control of a human driver. As for robotics and automation, the evolution of robotics and technologies developed help refined this motorsport even further will always remain an inspiring example of what happens when engineering, innovation and human skill come together. == References == # Racecar Engineering, "Sensors and F1 Technology."

Introduction to Embedded Systems''' '''1.1 Definition of an Embedded System''' An embedded system is a combination of hardware and software designed to perform a specific task. Unlike a general-purpose computer, which can be used for different activities, an embedded system is developed to carry out a particular function within a larger device or machine. For example, a washing machine contains an embedded system that controls its washing process. It receives information from buttons and sensors, processes that information and controls operations such as filling water, rotating the drum and draining water. An embedded system generally consists of electronic components, a processing unit, memory, input and output devices, and a program that controls its operation. The software used in such systems is often stored as firmware. Embedded systems are commonly found in household appliances, automobiles, medical equipment, communication devices and industrial machines. Examples of embedded systems: * Washing machines and microwave ovens * Digital cameras and smart televisions * Automatic traffic light controllers * Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) in vehicles * Digital blood pressure monitors * Smart watches and fitness bands The main purpose of an embedded system is to perform its assigned task accurately, efficiently and reliably. '''1.2 Basic Architecture and Working of an Embedded System''' An embedded system works through the coordination of its hardware and software components. The hardware provides the physical components required to perform a task, while the software contains the instructions that control those components. A typical embedded system follows three basic steps: input, processing and output. 1. Input Unit The input unit collects information from the surrounding environment or from the user. It may receive data through sensors, switches, buttons or other input devices. For example, a temperature sensor measures the surrounding temperature and sends the information to the processing unit. 2. Processing Unit The processing unit analyses the received information and makes decisions according to the instructions stored in memory. It may use a microcontroller, microprocessor, digital signal processor (DSP) or another processing device. 3. Memory Unit Memory stores the program instructions and the data required during system operation. It may include ROM, Flash memory and RAM. 4. Output Unit The output unit performs the action decided by the processing unit. It may control devices such as motors, LEDs, displays, buzzers, relays and other actuators. 5. Power Supply The power supply provides the electrical energy needed by the system. Depending on the application, it may use a battery or an external power source. 6. Communication Interface Some embedded systems communicate with other devices through interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Working Example: Automatic Room Temperature Control Consider an automatic room temperature control system. A temperature sensor continuously measures the room temperature and sends the readings to the processing unit. The program compares the measured temperature with the required temperature. If the room becomes too warm, the system can switch on a cooling device. When the required temperature is reached, it can switch the device off. In this way, the system performs its task automatically without requiring the user to control every operation manually. '''1.3 Classification of Embedded Systems''' Embedded systems can be classified in different ways depending on their complexity, performance, operating behaviour and application requirements. 1. Based on Generation Embedded systems have developed over time as electronic components and processing technologies have improved. They can be broadly discussed in terms of different generations. * First Generation: Early embedded systems generally used simple processors and basic electronic circuits. Their functions were limited, and they had comparatively less memory and processing capability. * Second Generation: These systems used improved microprocessors and microcontrollers. Their performance and functionality increased, allowing them to handle more complex tasks. * Third Generation: The use of advanced microcontrollers, digital signal processors and integrated circuits made embedded systems more powerful and efficient. * Fourth Generation: Modern embedded systems may use high-performance processors, System-on-Chip (SoC) technology, wireless communication and advanced software. They are commonly used in smart devices, automation and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Note: Generation-based classifications may differ between textbooks. The above is a broad description of technological development. 2. Based on Complexity and Performance Requirements Depending on the complexity of the application and the processing power required, embedded systems can be grouped into the following categories. * Small-Scale Embedded Systems: These systems perform simple tasks and generally use low-cost microcontrollers with limited memory and processing capability. Examples include electronic toys, simple calculators and basic home appliances. * Medium-Scale Embedded Systems: These systems have more processing requirements and may use 16-bit or 32-bit microcontrollers, digital signal processors or other processing units. Examples include security systems, smart meters and communication equipment. * Sophisticated Embedded Systems: These systems are designed for complex applications and may use powerful processors, multiple processing units or real-time operating systems. Examples include aircraft control systems, advanced medical equipment and industrial automation systems. 3. Based on Deterministic Behaviour Based on how strictly a system must respond within a specified time, embedded systems can be classified into two major types. * Hard Real-Time Systems: These systems must complete their operations within a fixed time limit. Missing the deadline may cause serious system failure or unsafe conditions. Examples include aircraft control systems and certain medical safety systems. * Soft Real-Time Systems: These systems should respond within the expected time, but a small delay does not usually cause complete system failure. Examples include multimedia players and video streaming systems. 4. Based on Triggering Based on what causes the system to perform an operation, embedded systems can be divided into two categories. * Time-Triggered Systems: These systems perform operations at fixed time intervals or according to a predefined schedule. For example, a digital clock updates its display at regular intervals. * Event-Triggered Systems: These systems perform an operation when a particular event occurs. For example, an automatic door opens when its sensor detects a person nearby. '''1.4 Application Areas of Embedded Systems''' Embedded systems are used in almost every field of modern life. They help devices perform specific operations automatically, accurately and efficiently. 1.

Automotive Industry Modern vehicles contain several embedded systems for controlling engine operation, airbags, anti-lock braking systems, parking assistance and vehicle monitoring. 5. Healthcare and Medical Equipment Medical devices such as ECG machines, digital thermometers, patient monitoring systems and blood glucose meters use embedded technology to measure and process important information. 6. Industrial Automation Embedded systems are used in industrial robots, production machines, motor controllers and process-monitoring equipment. They help improve production speed, accuracy and safety. 7. Retail and Banking Barcode scanners, automated teller machines (ATMs), electronic payment terminals and point-of-sale (POS) machines use embedded systems to process transactions and manage operations. 8. Control and Instrumentation Embedded systems are used in temperature controllers, pressure monitoring equipment, measurement instruments and automatic control systems.

'''1.5 Functions of Embedded Systems''' An embedded system performs different functions depending on the purpose for which it is designed. Some of its major functions are explained below. 1. Data Collection The system collects information from sensors, switches and other input devices. For example, a temperature monitoring system collects temperature readings from a sensor. 2. Data Storage and Representation The collected information may be stored in memory for further processing or displayed in a suitable form using an LCD, LED display or other output device. 3. Data Communication Some embedded systems exchange information with other devices through wired or wireless communication interfaces. This helps them share data and coordinate their operations. 4. Data and Signal Processing The processing unit analyses the received data and performs the required calculations. In some applications, digital signal processors are used to handle audio, video and other signals. 5. Monitoring Embedded systems continuously observe different conditions such as temperature, pressure, speed, humidity and voltage. They can identify changes and provide alerts when required. 6. Control One important function of an embedded system is to control the operation of a device. It may switch equipment on or off, regulate motor speed or maintain a required temperature. 7. User Interface Some systems provide buttons, touchscreens, displays, indicators or other interfaces through which users can give commands and receive information. '''1.6 Core Components of an Embedded System''' An embedded system is made up of several hardware and software components. The exact components depend on the requirements of the application. 1. General-Purpose and Domain-Specific Processors The processor is an important part of an embedded system because it executes instructions and performs the required processing. The main types include: * Microprocessor: A microprocessor is a programmable processing unit that performs arithmetic, logical and control operations. It generally requires external memory and peripheral components to build a complete system. * Microcontroller: A microcontroller is an integrated chip that contains a CPU, memory and input/output peripherals. It is commonly used for controlling dedicated operations in embedded systems. * Digital Signal Processor (DSP): A DSP is designed to perform mathematical operations efficiently, particularly those involved in processing digital signals such as audio, video and communication signals. 2. Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) An ASIC is an integrated circuit designed for a particular application or a specific set of functions. Since it is developed for a defined purpose, it can provide efficient performance for that application. ASICs are commonly used in communication equipment, consumer electronics and specialised electronic devices. 3. Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) Programmable Logic Devices are digital electronic devices whose internal logic can be configured according to the requirements of an application. They are used to implement digital circuits and control functions. Examples include CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices) and FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays). 4. Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Components COTS components are ready-made hardware or software products that are commercially available. Instead of designing every component from the beginning, developers can use these products to reduce development time and effort. Examples include standard sensors, memory chips, communication modules and power supply units. '''2. Microcontrollers in Embedded Systems''' '''2.1 Introduction to Microcontrollers''' A microcontroller is a small computer built inside a single integrated circuit (IC). It contains a processor, memory and input/output peripherals that work together to perform a specific task. A microcontroller is often called a single-chip microcomputer because many of the basic components required for computing and control are available on one chip. Microcontrollers are widely used in embedded systems because they can directly receive input from sensors, process information and control external devices. They are especially useful in applications where a device needs to perform a fixed set of operations automatically. For example, in an automatic washing machine, the microcontroller controls the washing cycle, water level, motor operation and timing according to the selected program. A microcontroller generally includes: * CPU (Central Processing Unit) * RAM (Random Access Memory) * ROM or Flash memory * Input/output ports * Timers and counters * Interrupt control * Communication interfaces The exact features depend on the microcontroller model. '''2.2 Basic Working of a Microcontroller''' A microcontroller works by following instructions stored in its program memory. It receives input from external devices, processes the information and produces the required output. Its working can be understood through the following steps: Step 1: Receiving Input The microcontroller receives information through input devices such as sensors, switches, buttons or communication interfaces. Step 2: Processing Information The CPU reads and executes the instructions stored in program memory. It processes the input data and makes decisions according to the program. Step 3: Producing Output After processing the information, the microcontroller sends signals through its output pins or peripherals to control external devices such as LEDs, motors, displays and relays. Step 4: Repeating the Operation The microcontroller continuously repeats this process as long as it is powered and operating. This allows the system to monitor its surroundings and respond to changes. Example: Automatic Street Light System An automatic street light system uses a light-dependent resistor (LDR) to detect the surrounding light level. The sensor provides information to the microcontroller. When the surrounding light becomes lower than a predefined level, the microcontroller switches on the street light through a suitable driver circuit. During daylight, it switches the light off. This example shows how a microcontroller can make decisions based on sensor input and control an external device. '''2.3 Characteristics of Microcontrollers''' Microcontrollers have several features that make them suitable for embedded applications. 1. Single-Chip Integration A microcontroller combines important computing components such as the CPU, memory and input/output peripherals into a single integrated circuit. This reduces the need for several separate chips. 2. On-Chip Memory Most microcontrollers contain memory for storing program instructions and temporary data. Flash memory is commonly used for program storage, while RAM is used during program execution. 3. Input/Output Capabilities Microcontrollers have input/output pins that allow them to communicate with external devices. These pins can be used to read sensor signals, detect switch conditions and control output devices. 4. Built-in Functional Units Many microcontrollers include additional hardware units such as timers, counters, interrupt controllers, ADCs, PWM modules and communication interfaces. These features reduce the need for extra external circuits. 5. Low Power Consumption Many microcontrollers are designed to operate with low power. Some also provide sleep and low-power modes, which are useful in battery-operated devices. 6. Real-Time Operation Microcontrollers are often used in systems that must respond to events within a specified time. Timers and interrupts help them perform time-dependent operations. 7. Application-Specific Operation A microcontroller usually runs a program written for a particular application. It repeatedly performs the tasks defined by that program. '''2.4 Internal Architecture and Components of a Microcontroller''' A microcontroller contains several internal units that work together to perform its operations. 1. Central Processing Unit (CPU) The CPU is the main processing unit of a microcontroller. It reads instructions from program memory, performs arithmetic and logical operations and controls the activities of other internal components. 2. Program Memory (ROM/Flash) Program memory stores the instructions that the microcontroller follows. Flash memory is commonly used because it allows the program to be stored even when the power supply is disconnected. 3. Random Access Memory (RAM) RAM is used to store temporary data while the program is running. It may contain variables, intermediate results and other information required during execution. Its contents are generally lost when power is removed. 4. Input/Output Ports Input/output ports allow the microcontroller to communicate with external devices. They can receive signals from sensors and switches or provide signals to LEDs, motors and displays. 5. Timers and Counters Timers are used to generate time delays and measure time intervals. Counters are used to count external events or pulses. They are useful in applications such as digital clocks, speed measurement and motor control. 6. Interrupt Controller An interrupt is a signal that requests the CPU to temporarily stop its current work and respond to an important event. The interrupt controller helps manage these requests. For example, when a sensor generates an interrupt, the microcontroller can respond to the event without continuously checking that sensor. 7. Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) An ADC converts an analog signal into a digital value that the microcontroller can process. It is useful when working with sensors that produce analog voltage signals, such as temperature and light sensors. 8. Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) A DAC converts digital data into an analog signal. It is included in some microcontrollers and is useful in applications that require analog output. 9. Communication Interfaces Communication interfaces allow a microcontroller to exchange information with other devices. Common interfaces include: * UART: Used for serial communication between devices. * SPI: A high-speed serial communication interface commonly used with sensors, displays and memory devices. * I2C: A two-wire communication interface used to connect multiple devices. * CAN: Commonly used in automotive and industrial communication systems. 10. Clock and Oscillator The clock provides timing signals that control the execution of instructions and the operation of internal components. An oscillator generates the clock signal required by the microcontroller. Note: All microcontrollers do not contain every component mentioned above. Their internal features vary according to the model and application. '''2.5 Types and Families of Microcontrollers''' Different microcontroller families are available for different applications. They vary in architecture, processing capability, memory size, power consumption and peripheral features. 1. 8051 Microcontroller Family The 8051 is a popular 8-bit microcontroller family originally introduced by Intel.

They are available in different models with varying memory sizes, processing capabilities and peripheral features. Examples include PIC16F84, PIC16F876 and PIC18 series devices. They are used in automation, measurement and control applications. 4. ARM-Based Microcontrollers Many modern microcontrollers use ARM processor cores. ARM-based microcontrollers are available in different performance levels and are commonly used in industrial control, consumer electronics, communication devices and IoT applications. For example, microcontrollers based on ARM Cortex-M cores are widely used in embedded applications. 5. Multicore Microcontrollers Some advanced microcontrollers contain more than one processing core. These devices can support multiple processing tasks and are used in applications that require higher performance or specialised processing. However, multicore architecture is an advanced feature and is not present in every microcontroller. '''2.6 Applications of Microcontrollers''' Microcontrollers are used in many electronic devices because they can control operations with relatively simple hardware and dedicated software. 1. Home Appliances They control washing machines, microwave ovens, refrigerators, air conditioners and other household devices. 2. Automotive Systems Microcontrollers are used in engine control, airbag systems, dashboard displays, power windows and vehicle monitoring systems. 3. Medical Equipment They are used in digital thermometers, blood pressure monitors, glucose meters and patient monitoring devices. 4.

Communication Devices Microcontrollers are used in routers, modems, wireless devices and other communication equipment. 7. Consumer Electronics They are found in remote controls, toys, digital cameras, smart watches and many other electronic products. '''2.7 Requirements and Selection of a Microcontroller''' Selecting a suitable microcontroller is an important step in embedded-system design. The choice depends on the application and the functions that the system needs to perform. The following factors should be considered: 1. Processing Speed The microcontroller should have sufficient processing speed to complete the required operations within the available time. 2. Memory Capacity The program memory should be large enough to store the application code. RAM should also be sufficient for storing temporary data during execution. 3. Input/Output Pins The number of available I/O pins should match the number of sensors, switches, displays and other devices connected to the microcontroller. 4. Peripheral Support The required peripherals, such as timers, ADC, PWM and communication interfaces, should be available either internally or through suitable external components. 5. Power Consumption For battery-operated devices, low power consumption is important because it helps increase battery life. 6. Cost and Availability The selected microcontroller should be affordable and easily available. Its cost should be suitable for the overall project budget. 7. Development Tools and Support The availability of programming software, debugging tools, documentation and technical support should also be considered. '''2.8 Practical Example: Microcontroller-Based Automatic Lighting System''' An automatic lighting system is a simple example of how a microcontroller can be used in an embedded application. The main purpose of this system is to switch a light on when the surrounding area becomes dark and switch it off when sufficient light is available. Main Components Required: * Microcontroller * Light-dependent resistor (LDR) * Resistors * LED or lamp * Transistor or relay driver circuit * Power supply Working Principle: # The LDR senses the intensity of light in the surrounding area. # The sensor circuit provides a signal to the microcontroller. # The microcontroller reads the signal and compares it with a predefined threshold. # If the light level is below the threshold, the microcontroller switches on the lamp through a suitable driver circuit. # If the light level increases above the threshold, the microcontroller switches the lamp off. The lamp should be connected through an appropriate driver circuit because a microcontroller pin cannot directly supply the current required by many lamps or other high-power loads. Advantages: * Reduces the need for manual operation. * Helps save electrical energy. * Provides automatic control. * Can be used in streets, corridors, gardens and parking areas. t31rgowfnhpo5zvim8b6a67318lmaog 4681460 4681459 2026-11-10T18:17:36Z Riya1205 3630392 4681460 wikitext text/x-wiki '''1. Introduction to Embedded Systems''' '''1.1 Definition of an Embedded System''' An embedded system is a combination of hardware and software designed to perform a specific task. Unlike a general-purpose computer, which can be used for different activities, an embedded system is developed to carry out a particular function within a larger device or machine. For example, a washing machine contains an embedded system that controls its washing process. It receives information from buttons and sensors, processes that information and controls operations such as filling water, rotating the drum and draining water. An embedded system generally consists of electronic components, a processing unit, memory, input and output devices, and a program that controls its operation. The software used in such systems is often stored as firmware. Embedded systems are commonly found in household appliances, automobiles, medical equipment, communication devices and industrial machines. Examples of embedded systems: * Washing machines and microwave ovens * Digital cameras and smart televisions * Automatic traffic light controllers * Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) in vehicles * Digital blood pressure monitors * Smart watches and fitness bands The main purpose of an embedded system is to perform its assigned task accurately, efficiently and reliably. '''1.2 Basic Architecture and Working of an Embedded System''' An embedded system works through the coordination of its hardware and software components. The hardware provides the physical components required to perform a task, while the software contains the instructions that control those components. A typical embedded system follows three basic steps: input, processing and output. 1. Input Unit The input unit collects information from the surrounding environment or from the user. It may receive data through sensors, switches, buttons or other input devices. For example, a temperature sensor measures the surrounding temperature and sends the information to the processing unit. 2. Processing Unit The processing unit analyses the received information and makes decisions according to the instructions stored in memory. It may use a microcontroller, microprocessor, digital signal processor (DSP) or another processing device. 3. Memory Unit Memory stores the program instructions and the data required during system operation. It may include ROM, Flash memory and RAM. 4. Output Unit The output unit performs the action decided by the processing unit. It may control devices such as motors, LEDs, displays, buzzers, relays and other actuators. 5. Power Supply The power supply provides the electrical energy needed by the system. Depending on the application, it may use a battery or an external power source. 6. Communication Interface Some embedded systems communicate with other devices through interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Working Example: Automatic Room Temperature Control Consider an automatic room temperature control system. A temperature sensor continuously measures the room temperature and sends the readings to the processing unit. The program compares the measured temperature with the required temperature. If the room becomes too warm, the system can switch on a cooling device. When the required temperature is reached, it can switch the device off. In this way, the system performs its task automatically without requiring the user to control every operation manually. '''1.3 Classification of Embedded Systems''' Embedded systems can be classified in different ways depending on their complexity, performance, operating behaviour and application requirements. 1. Based on Generation Embedded systems have developed over time as electronic components and processing technologies have improved. They can be broadly discussed in terms of different generations. * First Generation: Early embedded systems generally used simple processors and basic electronic circuits. Their functions were limited, and they had comparatively less memory and processing capability. * Second Generation: These systems used improved microprocessors and microcontrollers. Their performance and functionality increased, allowing them to handle more complex tasks. * Third Generation: The use of advanced microcontrollers, digital signal processors and integrated circuits made embedded systems more powerful and efficient. * Fourth Generation: Modern embedded systems may use high-performance processors, System-on-Chip (SoC) technology, wireless communication and advanced software. They are commonly used in smart devices, automation and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Note: Generation-based classifications may differ between textbooks. The above is a broad description of technological development. 2. Based on Complexity and Performance Requirements Depending on the complexity of the application and the processing power required, embedded systems can be grouped into the following categories. * Small-Scale Embedded Systems: These systems perform simple tasks and generally use low-cost microcontrollers with limited memory and processing capability. Examples include electronic toys, simple calculators and basic home appliances. * Medium-Scale Embedded Systems: These systems have more processing requirements and may use 16-bit or 32-bit microcontrollers, digital signal processors or other processing units. Examples include security systems, smart meters and communication equipment. * Sophisticated Embedded Systems: These systems are designed for complex applications and may use powerful processors, multiple processing units or real-time operating systems. Examples include aircraft control systems, advanced medical equipment and industrial automation systems. 3. Based on Deterministic Behaviour Based on how strictly a system must respond within a specified time, embedded systems can be classified into two major types. * Hard Real-Time Systems: These systems must complete their operations within a fixed time limit. Missing the deadline may cause serious system failure or unsafe conditions. Examples include aircraft control systems and certain medical safety systems. * Soft Real-Time Systems: These systems should respond within the expected time, but a small delay does not usually cause complete system failure. Examples include multimedia players and video streaming systems. 4. Based on Triggering Based on what causes the system to perform an operation, embedded systems can be divided into two categories. * Time-Triggered Systems: These systems perform operations at fixed time intervals or according to a predefined schedule. For example, a digital clock updates its display at regular intervals. * Event-Triggered Systems: These systems perform an operation when a particular event occurs. For example, an automatic door opens when its sensor detects a person nearby. '''1.4 Application Areas of Embedded Systems''' Embedded systems are used in almost every field of modern life. They help devices perform specific operations automatically, accurately and efficiently. 1. Consumer Electronics Embedded systems are used in televisions, digital cameras, washing machines, microwave ovens, refrigerators and smart watches. They control different functions and improve the convenience of electronic devices. 2. Home Automation Smart lighting systems, automatic doors, security alarms and temperature controllers use embedded systems. They help automate household activities and improve energy efficiency. 3. Telecommunications Mobile phones, routers, modems and network equipment use embedded systems to manage communication, data transfer and signal processing. 4. Automotive Industry Modern vehicles contain several embedded systems for controlling engine operation, airbags, anti-lock braking systems, parking assistance and vehicle monitoring. 5. Healthcare and Medical Equipment Medical devices such as ECG machines, digital thermometers, patient monitoring systems and blood glucose meters use embedded technology to measure and process important information. 6. Industrial Automation Embedded systems are used in industrial robots, production machines, motor controllers and process-monitoring equipment. They help improve production speed, accuracy and safety. 7. Retail and Banking Barcode scanners, automated teller machines (ATMs), electronic payment terminals and point-of-sale (POS) machines use embedded systems to process transactions and manage operations. 8. Control and Instrumentation Embedded systems are used in temperature controllers, pressure monitoring equipment, measurement instruments and automatic control systems. They collect information and control processes according to programmed instructions. '''1.5 Functions of Embedded Systems''' An embedded system performs different functions depending on the purpose for which it is designed. Some of its major functions are explained below. 1. Data Collection The system collects information from sensors, switches and other input devices. For example, a temperature monitoring system collects temperature readings from a sensor. 2. Data Storage and Representation The collected information may be stored in memory for further processing or displayed in a suitable form using an LCD, LED display or other output device. 3. Data Communication Some embedded systems exchange information with other devices through wired or wireless communication interfaces. This helps them share data and coordinate their operations. 4. Data and Signal Processing The processing unit analyses the received data and performs the required calculations. In some applications, digital signal processors are used to handle audio, video and other signals. 5. Monitoring Embedded systems continuously observe different conditions such as temperature, pressure, speed, humidity and voltage. They can identify changes and provide alerts when required. 6. Control One important function of an embedded system is to control the operation of a device. It may switch equipment on or off, regulate motor speed or maintain a required temperature. 7. User Interface Some systems provide buttons, touchscreens, displays, indicators or other interfaces through which users can give commands and receive information. '''1.6 Core Components of an Embedded System''' An embedded system is made up of several hardware and software components. The exact components depend on the requirements of the application. 1. General-Purpose and Domain-Specific Processors The processor is an important part of an embedded system because it executes instructions and performs the required processing. The main types include: * Microprocessor: A microprocessor is a programmable processing unit that performs arithmetic, logical and control operations. It generally requires external memory and peripheral components to build a complete system. * Microcontroller: A microcontroller is an integrated chip that contains a CPU, memory and input/output peripherals. It is commonly used for controlling dedicated operations in embedded systems. * Digital Signal Processor (DSP): A DSP is designed to perform mathematical operations efficiently, particularly those involved in processing digital signals such as audio, video and communication signals. 2. Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) An ASIC is an integrated circuit designed for a particular application or a specific set of functions. Since it is developed for a defined purpose, it can provide efficient performance for that application. ASICs are commonly used in communication equipment, consumer electronics and specialised electronic devices. 3. Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) Programmable Logic Devices are digital electronic devices whose internal logic can be configured according to the requirements of an application. They are used to implement digital circuits and control functions. Examples include CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices) and FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays). 4. Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Components COTS components are ready-made hardware or software products that are commercially available. Instead of designing every component from the beginning, developers can use these products to reduce development time and effort. Examples include standard sensors, memory chips, communication modules and power supply units. '''2. Microcontrollers in Embedded Systems''' '''2.1 Introduction to Microcontrollers''' A microcontroller is a small computer built inside a single integrated circuit (IC). It contains a processor, memory and input/output peripherals that work together to perform a specific task. A microcontroller is often called a single-chip microcomputer because many of the basic components required for computing and control are available on one chip. Microcontrollers are widely used in embedded systems because they can directly receive input from sensors, process information and control external devices. They are especially useful in applications where a device needs to perform a fixed set of operations automatically. For example, in an automatic washing machine, the microcontroller controls the washing cycle, water level, motor operation and timing according to the selected program. A microcontroller generally includes: * CPU (Central Processing Unit) * RAM (Random Access Memory) * ROM or Flash memory * Input/output ports * Timers and counters * Interrupt control * Communication interfaces The exact features depend on the microcontroller model. '''2.2 Basic Working of a Microcontroller''' A microcontroller works by following instructions stored in its program memory. It receives input from external devices, processes the information and produces the required output. Its working can be understood through the following steps: Step 1: Receiving Input The microcontroller receives information through input devices such as sensors, switches, buttons or communication interfaces. Step 2: Processing Information The CPU reads and executes the instructions stored in program memory. It processes the input data and makes decisions according to the program. Step 3: Producing Output After processing the information, the microcontroller sends signals through its output pins or peripherals to control external devices such as LEDs, motors, displays and relays. Step 4: Repeating the Operation The microcontroller continuously repeats this process as long as it is powered and operating. This allows the system to monitor its surroundings and respond to changes. Example: Automatic Street Light System An automatic street light system uses a light-dependent resistor (LDR) to detect the surrounding light level. The sensor provides information to the microcontroller. When the surrounding light becomes lower than a predefined level, the microcontroller switches on the street light through a suitable driver circuit. During daylight, it switches the light off. This example shows how a microcontroller can make decisions based on sensor input and control an external device. '''2.3 Characteristics of Microcontrollers''' Microcontrollers have several features that make them suitable for embedded applications. 1. Single-Chip Integration A microcontroller combines important computing components such as the CPU, memory and input/output peripherals into a single integrated circuit. This reduces the need for several separate chips. 2. On-Chip Memory Most microcontrollers contain memory for storing program instructions and temporary data. Flash memory is commonly used for program storage, while RAM is used during program execution. 3. Input/Output Capabilities Microcontrollers have input/output pins that allow them to communicate with external devices. These pins can be used to read sensor signals, detect switch conditions and control output devices. 4. Built-in Functional Units Many microcontrollers include additional hardware units such as timers, counters, interrupt controllers, ADCs, PWM modules and communication interfaces. These features reduce the need for extra external circuits. 5. Low Power Consumption Many microcontrollers are designed to operate with low power. Some also provide sleep and low-power modes, which are useful in battery-operated devices. 6. Real-Time Operation Microcontrollers are often used in systems that must respond to events within a specified time. Timers and interrupts help them perform time-dependent operations. 7. Application-Specific Operation A microcontroller usually runs a program written for a particular application. It repeatedly performs the tasks defined by that program. '''2.4 Internal Architecture and Components of a Microcontroller''' A microcontroller contains several internal units that work together to perform its operations. 1. Central Processing Unit (CPU) The CPU is the main processing unit of a microcontroller. It reads instructions from program memory, performs arithmetic and logical operations and controls the activities of other internal components. 2. Program Memory (ROM/Flash) Program memory stores the instructions that the microcontroller follows. Flash memory is commonly used because it allows the program to be stored even when the power supply is disconnected. 3. Random Access Memory (RAM) RAM is used to store temporary data while the program is running. It may contain variables, intermediate results and other information required during execution. Its contents are generally lost when power is removed. 4. Input/Output Ports Input/output ports allow the microcontroller to communicate with external devices. They can receive signals from sensors and switches or provide signals to LEDs, motors and displays. 5. Timers and Counters Timers are used to generate time delays and measure time intervals. Counters are used to count external events or pulses. They are useful in applications such as digital clocks, speed measurement and motor control. 6. Interrupt Controller An interrupt is a signal that requests the CPU to temporarily stop its current work and respond to an important event. The interrupt controller helps manage these requests. For example, when a sensor generates an interrupt, the microcontroller can respond to the event without continuously checking that sensor. 7. Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) An ADC converts an analog signal into a digital value that the microcontroller can process. It is useful when working with sensors that produce analog voltage signals, such as temperature and light sensors. 8. Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) A DAC converts digital data into an analog signal. It is included in some microcontrollers and is useful in applications that require analog output. 9. Communication Interfaces Communication interfaces allow a microcontroller to exchange information with other devices. Common interfaces include: * UART: Used for serial communication between devices. * SPI: A high-speed serial communication interface commonly used with sensors, displays and memory devices. * I2C: A two-wire communication interface used to connect multiple devices. * CAN: Commonly used in automotive and industrial communication systems. 10. Clock and Oscillator The clock provides timing signals that control the execution of instructions and the operation of internal components. An oscillator generates the clock signal required by the microcontroller. Note: All microcontrollers do not contain every component mentioned above. Their internal features vary according to the model and application. '''2.5 Types and Families of Microcontrollers''' Different microcontroller families are available for different applications. They vary in architecture, processing capability, memory size, power consumption and peripheral features. 1. 8051 Microcontroller Family The 8051 is a popular 8-bit microcontroller family originally introduced by Intel. It is widely used for learning microcontroller architecture and understanding basic embedded-system concepts. It includes features such as a CPU, memory, input/output ports, timers and serial communication facilities. Different manufacturers have also developed compatible versions with additional features. 2. 68HC11 and 68HC12 Microcontroller Families The 68HC11 and 68HC12 families were developed by Motorola. They are used in embedded control applications and provide features such as processing units, memory, timers and input/output capabilities. 3. PIC Microcontroller Family PIC microcontrollers are developed by Microchip Technology. They are available in different models with varying memory sizes, processing capabilities and peripheral features. Examples include PIC16F84, PIC16F876 and PIC18 series devices. They are used in automation, measurement and control applications. 4. ARM-Based Microcontrollers Many modern microcontrollers use ARM processor cores. ARM-based microcontrollers are available in different performance levels and are commonly used in industrial control, consumer electronics, communication devices and IoT applications. For example, microcontrollers based on ARM Cortex-M cores are widely used in embedded applications. 5. Multicore Microcontrollers Some advanced microcontrollers contain more than one processing core. These devices can support multiple processing tasks and are used in applications that require higher performance or specialised processing. However, multicore architecture is an advanced feature and is not present in every microcontroller. '''2.6 Applications of Microcontrollers''' Microcontrollers are used in many electronic devices because they can control operations with relatively simple hardware and dedicated software. 1. Home Appliances They control washing machines, microwave ovens, refrigerators, air conditioners and other household devices. 2. Automotive Systems Microcontrollers are used in engine control, airbag systems, dashboard displays, power windows and vehicle monitoring systems. 3. Medical Equipment They are used in digital thermometers, blood pressure monitors, glucose meters and patient monitoring devices. 4. Industrial Automation Microcontrollers control motors, machines, sensors and monitoring equipment in industrial environments. 5. Security Systems They are used in electronic locks, burglar alarms, motion detection systems and access-control devices. 6. Communication Devices Microcontrollers are used in routers, modems, wireless devices and other communication equipment. 7. Consumer Electronics They are found in remote controls, toys, digital cameras, smart watches and many other electronic products. '''2.7 Requirements and Selection of a Microcontroller''' Selecting a suitable microcontroller is an important step in embedded-system design. The choice depends on the application and the functions that the system needs to perform. The following factors should be considered: 1. Processing Speed The microcontroller should have sufficient processing speed to complete the required operations within the available time. 2. Memory Capacity The program memory should be large enough to store the application code. RAM should also be sufficient for storing temporary data during execution. 3. Input/Output Pins The number of available I/O pins should match the number of sensors, switches, displays and other devices connected to the microcontroller. 4. Peripheral Support The required peripherals, such as timers, ADC, PWM and communication interfaces, should be available either internally or through suitable external components. 5. Power Consumption For battery-operated devices, low power consumption is important because it helps increase battery life. 6. Cost and Availability The selected microcontroller should be affordable and easily available. Its cost should be suitable for the overall project budget. 7. Development Tools and Support The availability of programming software, debugging tools, documentation and technical support should also be considered. '''2.8 Practical Example: Microcontroller-Based Automatic Lighting System''' An automatic lighting system is a simple example of how a microcontroller can be used in an embedded application.

'''3. Summary''' Embedded systems are specialised electronic systems designed to perform particular tasks. They combine hardware and software to collect information, process data and control external devices. They are widely used in consumer electronics, automobiles, healthcare, telecommunications and industrial automation. A microcontroller is one of the important processing and control components used in embedded systems. It combines a CPU, memory and input/output peripherals into a single chip.

The tender green fruits are usually cooked rather than eaten raw, and they absorb spices and sauces well. Common preparations include: * '''Stir-fries:''' Slice thinly and cook with oil, onion, garlic, chili, and spices. * '''Curries and stews:''' Add to lentil dishes, coconut-based curries, or mixed-vegetable stews. * '''Pickles:''' Use tender fruits for quick fresh pickles or longer-keeping preserved versions. * '''Stuffed dishes:''' Halve or slit the fruits and fill them with spiced mixtures before cooking. * '''Greens:''' Cook young leaves and shoot tips as a leafy vegetable or add them to soups. A simple approach is to slice tender ivy gourds, sauté them with mustard seeds, curry leaves, onion, and turmeric, then finish with salt and a little lemon. Young fruits are generally milder and more tender than mature ones. === Choosing and Storing === s63m578op23qe2pxxmwb9souop64o3o 2 487097 4681337 2026-11-10T13:48:55Z Hemanthkiran03 3630999 Wireless sensor networks (WSN) 4681337 wikitext text/x-wiki == Title:- Wireless sensor networks (WSN) == lq74qgg6it2hiym2d99xl1a6padqx7e 102 487098 4681338 2026-11-10T13:53:26Z ActStuffOGWiki 3624203 Redirected page to [[Cookbook:Ivy gourd]] 4681338 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Cookbook:Ivy gourd]] __INDEX__ b2wm65x33xamin0vcpyafzz1nzi9i1l 102 487099 4681340 2026-11-10T13:55:45Z ActStuffOGWiki 3624203 Redirected page to [[Cookbook:Ivy gourd]] 4681340 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Cookbook:Ivy gourd]] __INDEX__ b2wm65x33xamin0vcpyafzz1nzi9i1l 102 487100 4681343 2026-11-10T14:00:11Z ActStuffOGWiki 3624203 Redirected page to [[Cookbook:Ivy gourd]] 4681343 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Cookbook:Ivy gourd]] __INDEX__ b2wm65x33xamin0vcpyafzz1nzi9i1l 2 487101 4681360 2026-11-10T14:35:00Z The Abyssal sky 3629525 Created page with "=Inter-Symbol Interference and Equalization in Digital Communication= ==1.Introduction== Digital communication systems send information as a sequence of symbols.

Each symbol is shaped into a pulse and sent through a physical channel. The receiver filters the signal and samples it at the expected symbol times. Ideally, each sample depends only on the symbol being detected. In practice, limited channel bandwidth, reflections and frequency-dependent distortion spread pulses in time, so energy from neighbouring symbols overlaps at the sampling instant. This is called inter-symbol interference(ISI). ISI makes symbol decisions less reliable and can raise the bit-error rate, particularly at high data rates. Equalization is a set of signal-processing techniques that compensate for the channel distortion and reduce ISI. Equalizers may be linear or nonlinear, and their coefficients may be fixed or adapted as the channel changes. ==2.Mathematical model of ISI== For a linear pulse-amplitude modulation system, the received baseband signal can be written as: Here a_k is the transmitted symbol, T is the sysmbol period,h(t) is the overall pulse response of the transmit filter, channel, and receive filter, and n(t) is noise. sampling at t=mT gives: Y_m =h_0a_m+ Σ_{k≠m} h_{m−k} a_k + n_m, where h_j = h(jT) The first term is the desired symbol. The sum is the ISI from the other symbols and n_m is the sampled noise. Interference from earlier symbols is generally known as postcursor ISI and interference from later symbols is called precursor ISI. Worst case peak distortion is given by D=Σ_{j=0} |h_j| / |h_0|. For binary antipodal signalling D < 1 is sufficient to maintain a positive decision margin at a noiseless threshold detector. ==3.The Nyquist zero-ISI criterion== The Nyquist criterion gives the condition for the elimination of ISI at the ideal sampling instants. The overall pulse response must satisfy: Only the pulse for the symbol being sampled at that instant contributes. In the frequency domain the same condition requires suitably shifted copies of the spectrum to sum to a constant. For a symbol rate of 1/T the minimum one sided baseband bandwidth is 1/(2T)Hz under the normal low pass convention. An ideal sinc pulse satisfies the zero-ISI condition at the minimum bandwidth but its slowly decaying tails make it very susceptible to timing errors. Practical systems will usually employ raised cosine pulse shaping. The roll-off factor determines the excess bandwidth and results in a much faster decaying response in the time domain. A root raised cosine filter is typically used at the transmitter with a matched root raised cosine filter at the receiver and the overall response is raised cosine. ==4. Causes and effects of ISI== ===4.1 Main causes=== Limited bandwidth is the most straightforward explanation. A channel or filter can't pass all the frequency components of a short pulse and the effect of this is to smear the pulse over the adjacent symbol periods. In wireless channels we have the problem of multipath propagation. Reflections off buildings, the terrain and all sorts of other objects give rise to delayed copies of the transmitted waveform. If the delay spread is significant in relation to T then multiple symbols will overlap. Wired and wireless channels can also be frequency selective in their distortion, attenuating different frequencies by different amounts and/or introducing unequal phase delay. That will of course alter the pulse shape and can even lengthen the pulse. Finally the Nyquist condition presumes sampling at the correct instants, so sampling time error can lead to residual ISI. A time varying channel will of course change the interference pattern as well and that can render an equaliser which was previously suitable completely inaccurate. ===4.2 Effects on transmission=== ISI causes the received samples to be shifted away from their ideal constellation points and reduces the distance to the decision boundaries. Noise is therefore more likely to cause a symbol error. Severe ISI can in fact close the eye diagram and result in errors ev in the presence of very low noise levels. Increasing the transmit power will not eliminate the distotioncaused by overlapping symbols. An eye diagram is formed by superimposing waveform segments aligned to the symbol clock. The vertical opening shows the decision margin and the horizontal opening shows the tolerance to sampling time error. A partially closed eye indicates distortion, noise or timing sensitivity. ==5. Equalization== An equalizer processes received samples to make symbol decisions more reliable. Which equalizer to use depends on the channel characteristics, the noise level, the available computing resources and how quickly the channel changes. ===5.1 Linear equalizers=== A linear equaliser is typically implemented as a finite impulse response (FIR) filter. It takes a window of received samples, combines them using adjustable tap coefficients and then feeds the result to the decision device. The ZF equaliser attempts to make the overall channel and equaliser response an impulse (i.e. it cancels ISI). In the ideal infinite length model the frequency response of the ZF equaliser is the inverse of the channel response. Its principal drawback is noise enhancement: where the channel response is very small the inverse will require a large gain and can therefore amplify noise considerably. Practical finite length filters will only be able to cancel ISI over a limited range. The MMSE equaliser chooses the coefficients to minimise the mean squared error (i.e. the expected value of the square of the error) between the desired symbol and the equaliser output. It's a compromise between residual ISI and noise enhancement and in general tends to do better in a noisy channel as it doesn't have the problem of excessive gain right at the deep channel nulls. It's designed using the channel and noise statistics (or estimates thereof). For a finite tap-weight vector c, the optimum linear solution is usually given by the WienerHopf equation R c = p. Here R is the received-sample correlation matrix and p is the cross-correlation vector between the received samples and the desired symbol ===5.2 Decision-feedback equalizer (DFE)=== A decision feedback equaliser has a feed forward filter and a feedback filter. The feed forward filter takes the received samples as its input, the feedback filter takes the previously detected symbols as its input and uses them to estimate and subtract their postcursor interference. When the earlier decisions are correct the feedback section will cancel the postcursor ISI without filtering the channel noise in the way that a linear inverse filter would. The forward section deals with the precursor interference. The main drawback is error propagation in that one erroneous decision can be fed back and cause further errors. ===5.3 Maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE)=== MLSE detects a sequence of symbols rather than making a decision on each symbol independently. It chooses the candidate sequence whose predicted channel output is most likely to have generated the received samples. Under the additive white Gaussian noise model this is equivalent to minimising some suitable squared distance metric and the Viterbi algorithm can be used to search for this efficiently via a trellis. For an M-ary modulation alphabet and a channel memory of L previous symbols a conventional trellis has M^L states so complexity increases very rapidly with channel memory. MLSE can detect very well in fact, but it requires channel knowledge and can be prohibitively expensive for long channels. Reduced statepproaches are used to reduce the search complexity. ===5.4 Adaptive equalization=== In many practical situations the channel response is either unknown a priori or it varies with time. Adaptive equalisers will update their coefficients using a training sequence, decision directed operation or blind adaptation. During the training phase known symbols are used as a reference. Subsequently the receiver can use its own decisions as an approximate reference. Least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm LMS is a very widely used stochastic gradient algorithm which tunes the filter coefficients to minimise the mean square error. For a received-sample vector u_n, coefficient vector w_n and desired symbol d_n, the error and update are: The step size determines the adaptation rate and the stability. A larger step size will track changes more quickly but can also lead to a larger steady state error or even instability. LMS is very cheap to compute, just convergence can be quite slow when the input correlation matrix is badly conditioned. Recursive least squares (RLS) RLS minimises an exponentially weighted sum of the past squared errors. It generally converges faster than LMS and is less sensitive to input correlation (which is very useful when you need to adapt rapidly). The downside is that it's considerably more computationally expensive (typically O(N squared) where N is the number of taps) and requires a very careful numerical implementation. ==6. Comparison of equalization methods== ZF strongly suppresses ISI but can amplify noise. MMSE balances interference against noise. DFE cancels postcursor ISI efficiently but can propagate decision errors. MLSE detects whole sequences with high complexity when channel memory is long. LMS is simple to compute but may converge slowly, while RLS adapts faster at a higher computational cost. These methods are not all separate structures: LMS and RLS are adaptation algorithms that can update linear or decision-feedback equalizers. ==7. Applications== Equalization has been important in high-speed data transmission over telephone lines and subscriber loops, where channel bandwidth and frequency response distort transmitted pulses. It is also used in wireless systems, including cellular radio, fixed wireless links and other multipath environments. Adaptive equalizers help most when movement or changing surroundings make the channel response vary. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a related way to reduce frequency-selective distortion. OFDM divides a high-rate data stream among many lowerrate subcarriers. With a sufficiently long cyclic prefix, the channel's linear convolution over a useful OFDM symbol can be treated as circular convolution, which allows simple frequency-domain equalization on each subcarrier. The cyclic prefix must cover the channel delay spread. Otherwise residual ISI and inter-carrier interference may remain. ==8. Limitations and practical considerations== No single equalizer is best for every channel. ZF may perform poorly with deep spectral nulls, and MMSE needs estimates of noise and channel statistics. DFE performance can suffer from error propagation. MLSE becomes computationally demanding as channel memory or modulation order increases. Adaptive methods must balance convergence speed, tracking ability and steady-state accuracy. Equalizer performance also depends on accurate timing recovery and channel estimation. Training sequences use up transmission resources, and decision-directed adaptation can be unreliable when the receiver makes many errors. In severe or rapidly changing channels, equalization is often combined with channel coding, interleaving, diversity or iterative detection and decoding. ==9. Conclusion== ISI occurs when the effective channel response spreads the energy of one transmitted symbol into the sampling intervals of its neighbours. Bandwidth limits, multipath propagation, frequency-selective Distortion and timing errors are both responsible for it. The Nyquist criterion gives the pulse-shaping condition for zero ISI at ideal sampling instants. Equalizers compensate for channel distortion using zero-forcing, MMSE, decision feedback, maximum likelihood sequence estimation or adaptive filtering. Choosing among them means trading off residual ISI, noise enhancement, error propagation, computational complexity and the ability to track channel changes. ==References== spwjxy4k9aqpsgga3k02d224tyvvbzs 4681367 4681360 2026-11-10T14:47:39Z The Abyssal sky 3629525 /* 5.1 Linear equalizers */ 4681367 wikitext text/x-wiki =Inter-Symbol Interference and Equalization in Digital Communication= ==1.Introduction== Digital communication systems send information as a sequence of symbols.

Conclusion== ISI occurs when the effective channel response spreads the energy of one transmitted symbol into the sampling intervals of its neighbours. Bandwidth limits, multipath propagation, frequency-selective Distortion and timing errors are both responsible for it. The Nyquist criterion gives the pulse-shaping condition for zero ISI at ideal sampling instants. Equalizers compensate for channel distortion using zero-forcing, MMSE, decision feedback, maximum likelihood sequence estimation or adaptive filtering. Choosing among them means trading off residual ISI, noise enhancement, error propagation, computational complexity and the ability to track channel changes. ==References== <ref>1.H.Nyquist, "Certain topics in telegraph transmission theory," Transactions of the AIEE, Vol. 47, no. 2, pp. 617-644,1928.</ref> <ref>2.

Each symbol is shaped into a pulse and sent through a physical channel. The receiver filters the signal and samples it at the expected symbol times. Ideally, each sample depends only on the symbol being detected. In practice, limited channel bandwidth, reflections and frequency-dependent distortion spread pulses in time, so energy from neighbouring symbols overlaps at the sampling instant. This is called inter-symbol interference(ISI). ISI makes symbol decisions less reliable and can raise the bit-error rate, particularly at high data rates. Equalization is a set of signal-processing techniques that compensate for the channel distortion and reduce ISI. Equalizers may be linear or nonlinear, and their coefficients may be fixed or adapted as the channel changes. ==2.Mathematical model of ISI== For a linear pulse-amplitude modulation system, the received baseband signal can be written as: Here a_k is the transmitted symbol, T is the sysmbol period,h(t) is the overall pulse response of the transmit filter, channel, and receive filter, and n(t) is noise. Sampling at t=mT gives:Y_m =h_0a_m+ Σ_{k≠m} h_{m−k} a_k + n_m, where h_j = h(jT) The first term is the desired symbol. The sum is the ISI from the other symbols and n_m is the sampled noise. Interference from earlier symbols is generally known as postcursor ISI and interference from later symbols is called precursor ISI. Worst case peak distortion is given by D=Σ_{j=0} |h_j| / |h_0|. For binary antipodal signalling D < 1 is sufficient to maintain a positive decision margin at a noiseless threshold detector. ==3.The Nyquist zero-ISI criterion== The Nyquist criterion gives the condition for the elimination of ISI at the ideal sampling instants. The overall pulse response must satisfy: Only the pulse for the symbol being sampled at that instant contributes. In the frequency domain the same condition requires suitably shifted copies of the spectrum to sum to a constant. For a symbol rate of 1/T the minimum one sided baseband bandwidth is 1/(2T)Hz under the normal low pass convention. An ideal sinc pulse satisfies the zero-ISI condition at the minimum bandwidth but its slowly decaying tails make it very susceptible to timing errors. Practical systems will usually employ raised cosine pulse shaping. The roll-off factor determines the excess bandwidth and results in a much faster decaying response in the time domain. A root raised cosine filter is typically used at the transmitter with a matched root raised cosine filter at the receiver and the overall response is raised cosine. ==4. Causes and effects of ISI== ===4.1 Main causes=== Limited bandwidth is the most straightforward explanation. A channel or filter can't pass all the frequency components of a short pulse and the effect of this is to smear the pulse over the adjacent symbol periods. In wireless channels we have the problem of multipath propagation. Reflections off buildings, the terrain and all sorts of other objects give rise to delayed copies of the transmitted waveform. If the delay spread is significant in relation to T then multiple symbols will overlap. Wired and wireless channels can also be frequency selective in their distortion, attenuating different frequencies by different amounts and/or introducing unequal phase delay. That will of course alter the pulse shape and can even lengthen the pulse. Finally the Nyquist condition presumes sampling at the correct instants, so sampling time error can lead to residual ISI. A time varying channel will of course change the interference pattern as well and that can render an equaliser which was previously suitable completely inaccurate. ===4.2 Effects on transmission=== ISI causes the received samples to be shifted away from their ideal constellation points and reduces the distance to the decision boundaries. Noise is therefore more likely to cause a symbol error. Severe ISI can in fact close the eye diagram and result in errors even in the presence of very low noise levels. Increasing the transmit power will not eliminate the distotioncaused by overlapping symbols. An eye diagram is formed by superimposing waveform segments aligned to the symbol clock. The vertical opening shows the decision margin and the horizontal opening shows the tolerance to sampling time error. A partially closed eye indicates distortion, noise or timing sensitivity. ==5. Equalization== An equalizer processes received samples to make symbol decisions more reliable. Which equalizer to use depends on the channel characteristics, the noise level, the available computing resources and how quickly the channel changes. ===5.1 Linear equalizers=== A linear equalizer is typically implemented as a finite impulse response (FIR) filter. It takes a window of received samples, combines them using adjustable tap coefficients and then feeds the result to the decision device. The ZF equalizer attempts to make the overall channel and equalizer response an impulse (i.e. it cancels ISI). In the ideal infinite length model the frequency response of the ZF equalizer is the inverse of the channel response. Its principal drawback is noise enhancement: where the channel response is very small the inverse will require a large gain and can therefore amplify noise considerably. Practical finite length filters will only be able to cancel ISI over a limited range. The MMSE equalizer chooses the coefficients to minimize the mean squared error (i.e. the expected value of the square of the error) between the desired symbol and the equalizer output. It's a compromise between residual ISI and noise enhancement and in general tends to do better in a noisy channel as it doesn't have the problem of excessive gain right at the deep channel nulls. It's designed using the channel and noise statistics (or estimates thereof). For a finite tap-weight vector c, the optimum linear solution is usually given by the [[wikipedia:Wiener–Hopf_method|WienerHopf equation]] R c = p. Here R is the received-sample correlation matrix and p is the cross-correlation vector between the received samples and the desired symbol ===5.2 Decision-feedback equalizer (DFE)=== A decision feedback equalizer has a feed forward filter and a feedback filter. The feed forward filter takes the received samples as its input, the feedback filter takes the previously detected symbols as its input and uses them to estimate and subtract their postcursor interference. When the earlier decisions are correct the feedback section will cancel the postcursor ISI without filtering the channel noise in the way that a linear inverse filter would. The forward section deals with the precursor interference. The main drawback is error propagation in that one erroneous decision can be fed back and cause further errors. ===5.3 Maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE)=== MLSE detects a sequence of symbols rather than making a decision on each symbol independently. It chooses the candidate sequence whose predicted channel output is most likely to have generated the received samples. Under the additive white [[wikipedia:Gaussian_noise|Gaussian noise]] model this is equivalent to minimizing some suitable squared distance metric and the Viterbi algorithm can be used to search for this efficiently via a trellis. For an M-ary modulation alphabet and a channel memory of L previous symbols a conventional trellis has M^L states so complexity increases very rapidly with channel memory. MLSE can detect very well in fact, but it requires channel knowledge and can be prohibitively expensive for long channels. Reduced statepproaches are used to reduce the search complexity. ===5.4 Adaptive equalization=== In many practical situations the channel response is either unknown a priori or it varies with time. Adaptive equalisers will update their coefficients using a training sequence, decision directed operation or blind adaptation. During the training phase known symbols are used as a reference. Subsequently the receiver can use its own decisions as an approximate reference. Least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm LMS is a very widely used stochastic gradient algorithm which tunes the filter coefficients to minimise the mean square error. For a received-sample vector u_n, coefficient vector w_n and desired symbol d_n, the error and update are: The step size determines the adaptation rate and the stability. A larger step size will track changes more quickly but can also lead to a larger steady state error or even instability. LMS is very cheap to compute, just convergence can be quite slow when the input correlation matrix is badly conditioned. Recursive least squares (RLS) RLS minimizes an exponentially weighted sum of the past squared errors. It generally converges faster than LMS and is less sensitive to input correlation (which is very useful when you need to adapt rapidly). The downside is that it's considerably more computationally expensive (typically O(N squared) where N is the number of taps) and requires a very careful numerical implementation. ==6. Comparison of equalization methods== ZF strongly suppresses ISI but can amplify noise. MMSE balances interference against noise. DFE cancels postcursor ISI efficiently but can propagate decision errors. MLSE detects whole sequences with high complexity when channel memory is long. LMS is simple to compute but may converge slowly, while RLS adapts faster at a higher computational cost. These methods are not all separate structures: LMS and RLS are adaptation algorithms that can update linear or decision-feedback equalizers. ==7. Applications== Equalization has been important in high-speed data transmission over telephone lines and subscriber loops, where channel bandwidth and frequency response distort transmitted pulses. It is also used in wireless systems, including cellular radio, fixed wireless links and other multipath environments. Adaptive equalizers help most when movement or changing surroundings make the channel response vary. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a related way to reduce frequency-selective distortion. OFDM divides a high-rate data stream among many lower rate subcarriers. With a sufficiently long cyclic prefix, the channel's linear convolution over a useful OFDM symbol can be treated as circular convolution, which allows simple frequency-domain equalization on each subcarrier. The cyclic prefix must cover the channel delay spread. Otherwise residual ISI and inter-carrier interference may remain. ==8. Limitations and practical considerations== No single equalizer is best for every channel. ZF may perform poorly with deep spectral nulls, and MMSE needs estimates of noise and channel statistics. DFE performance can suffer from error propagation. MLSE becomes computationally demanding as channel memory or modulation order increases. Adaptive methods must balance convergence speed, tracking ability and steady-state accuracy. Equalizer performance also depends on accurate timing recovery and channel estimation. Training sequences use up transmission resources, and decision-directed adaptation can be unreliable when the receiver makes many errors. In severe or rapidly changing channels, equalization is often combined with channel coding, interleaving, diversity or iterative detection and decoding. ==9. Conclusion== ISI occurs when the effective channel response spreads the energy of one transmitted symbol into the sampling intervals of its neighbours. Bandwidth limits, multipath propagation, frequency-selective Distortion and timing errors are both responsible for it. The Nyquist criterion gives the pulse-shaping condition for zero ISI at ideal sampling instants. Equalizers compensate for channel distortion using zero-forcing, MMSE, decision feedback, maximum likelihood sequence estimation or adaptive filtering. Choosing among them means trading off residual ISI, noise enhancement, error propagation, computational complexity and the ability to track channel changes. ==References== <ref>H.Nyquist, "Certain topics in telegraph transmission theory," Transactions of the AIEE, Vol. 47, no. 2, pp. 617-644,1928.</ref> <ref>R.

An ideal sinc pulse satisfies the zero-ISI condition at the minimum bandwidth but its slowly decaying tails make it very susceptible to timing errors. Practical systems will usually employ raised cosine pulse shaping. The [[wikipedia:Roll-off|roll-off factor]] determines the excess bandwidth and results in a much faster decaying response in the time domain. A root raised cosine filter is typically used at the [[wikipedia:Transmitter|transmitter]] with a matched root raised cosine filter at the [[wikipedia:Receiver|receiver]] and the overall response is raised cosine. ==4. Causes and effects of ISI== ===4.1 Main causes=== Limited [[wikipedia:Bandwidth|bandwidth]] is the most straightforward explanation. A channel or filter can't pass all the frequency components of a short pulse and the effect of this is to smear the pulse over the adjacent symbol periods. In wireless channels we have the problem of multipath propagation. Reflections off buildings, the terrain and all sorts of other objects give rise to delayed copies of the transmitted waveform. If the delay spread is significant in relation to T then multiple symbols will overlap. Wired and wireless channels can also be frequency selective in their distortion, attenuating different frequencies by different amounts and/or introducing unequal phase delay. That will of course alter the pulse shape and can even lengthen the pulse. Finally the Nyquist condition presumes sampling at the correct instants, so sampling time error can lead to residual ISI. A time varying channel will of course change the interference pattern as well and that can render an equalizer which was previously suitable completely inaccurate. ===4.2 Effects on transmission=== ISI causes the received samples to be shifted away from their ideal constellation points and reduces the distance to the decision boundaries. Noise is therefore more likely to cause a symbol error. Severe ISI can in fact close the eye diagram and result in errors even in the presence of very low noise levels. Increasing the transmit power will not eliminate the distortion caused by overlapping symbols. An eye diagram is formed by [[wikipedia:Superimposition|superimposing]] waveform segments aligned to the symbol clock. The vertical opening shows the decision margin and the horizontal opening shows the tolerance to sampling time error. A partially closed eye indicates distortion, noise or timing sensitivity. ==5. Equalization== An equalizer processes received samples to make symbol decisions more reliable. Which equalizer to use depends on the channel characteristics, the noise level, the available computing resources and how quickly the channel changes. ===5.1 Linear equalizers=== A linear equalizer is typically implemented as a [[wikipedia:Finite_impulse_response|finite impulse response (FIR) filter]]. It takes a window of received samples, combines them using adjustable tap coefficients and then feeds the result to the decision device. The [[wikipedia:Zero-forcing_equalizer|ZF equalizer]] attempts to make the overall channel and equalizer response an impulse (i.e. it cancels ISI). In the ideal infinite length model the frequency response of the [[wikipedia:Zero-forcing_equalizer|ZF equalizer]] is the inverse of the channel response. Its principal drawback is noise enhancement: where the channel response is very small the inverse will require a large gain and can therefore amplify noise considerably. Practical finite length filters will only be able to cancel ISI over a limited range. The [[wikipedia:Minimum_mean_square_error_estimator|MMSE equalizer]] chooses the coefficients to minimize the mean squared error (i.e. the expected value of the square of the error) between the desired symbol and the equalizer output. It's a compromise between residual ISI and noise enhancement and in general tends to do better in a noisy channel as it doesn't have the problem of excessive gain right at the deep channel nulls. It's designed using the channel and noise statistics (or estimates thereof). For a finite tap-weight vector c, the optimum linear solution is usually given by the [[wikipedia:Wiener–Hopf_method|WienerHopf equation]] R c = p. Here R is the received-sample [[wikipedia:Correlation|correlation]] matrix and p is the [[wikipedia:Cross-correlation_matrix|cross-correlation]] vector between the received samples and the desired symbol ===5.2 Decision-feedback equalizer (DFE)=== A decision feedback equalizer has a feed forward filter and a feedback filter. The feed forward filter takes the received samples as its input, the feedback filter takes the previously detected symbols as its input and uses them to estimate and subtract their postcursor interference. When the earlier decisions are correct the feedback section will cancel the postcursor ISI without filtering the channel noise in the way that a linear inverse filter would. The forward section deals with the precursor interference. The main drawback is error propagation in that one erroneous decision can be fed back and cause further errors. ===5.3 Maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE)=== [[wikipedia:Maximum_likelihood_sequence_estimation|MLSE]] detects a sequence of symbols rather than making a decision on each symbol independently. It chooses the candidate sequence whose predicted channel output is most likely to have generated the received samples. Under the additive white [[wikipedia:Gaussian_noise|Gaussian noise]] model this is equivalent to minimizing some suitable squared distance metric and the Viterbi algorithm can be used to search for this efficiently via a trellis. For an [[wikipedia:M-ary_transmission|M-ary]] modulation alphabet and a channel memory of L previous symbols a conventional trellis has M^L states so complexity increases very rapidly with channel memory. MLSE can detect very well in fact, but it requires channel knowledge and can be prohibitively expensive for long channels. Reduced statepproaches are used to reduce the search complexity. ===5.4 Adaptive equalization=== In many practical situations the channel response is either unknown a priori or it varies with time. [[wikipedia:Adaptive_equalizer|Adaptive equalizers]] will update their coefficients using a training sequence, decision directed operation or blind adaptation. During the training phase known symbols are used as a reference. Subsequently the receiver can use its own decisions as an approximate reference. [[wikipedia:Least_mean_squares_filter|Least-mean-square (LMS)]] algorithm LMS is a very widely used stochastic gradient algorithm which tunes the filter coefficients to minimise the mean square error. For a received-sample vector u_n, coefficient vector w_n and desired symbol d_n, the error and update are: The step size determines the adaptation rate and the stability. A larger step size will track changes more quickly but can also lead to a larger steady state error or even instability. LMS is very cheap to compute, just convergence can be quite slow when the input correlation matrix is badly conditioned. [[wikipedia:Recursive_least_squares_filter|Recursive least squares (RLS)]]. RLS minimizes an exponentially weighted sum of the past squared errors. It generally converges faster than LMS and is less sensitive to input correlation (which is very useful when you need to adapt rapidly). The downside is that it's considerably more computationally expensive (typically O(N squared) where N is the number of taps) and requires a very careful numerical implementation. ==6. Comparison of equalization methods== ZF strongly suppresses ISI but can amplify noise. MMSE balances interference against noise. [[wikipedia:DFE|DFE]] cancels postcursor ISI efficiently but can propagate decision errors. MLSE detects whole sequences with high complexity when channel memory is long. LMS is simple to compute but may converge slowly, while RLS adapts faster at a higher computational cost. These methods are not all separate structures: LMS and RLS are adaptation algorithms that can update linear or decision-feedback equalizers. ==7. Applications== [[wikipedia:Equalization_(communications)|Equalization]] has been important in [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_transmission high-speed data transmission] over telephone lines and subscriber loops, where channel bandwidth and frequency response distort transmitted pulses. It is also used in wireless systems, including cellular radio, fixed wireless links and other multipath environments. Adaptive equalizers help most when movement or changing surroundings make the channel response vary. [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_frequency-division_multiplexing Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)] is a related way to reduce frequency-selective distortion. [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_frequency-division_multiplexing OFDM] divides a high-rate data stream among many lower rate subcarriers. With a sufficiently long cyclic prefix, the channel's linear convolution over a useful [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_frequency-division_multiplexing OFDM] symbol can be treated as circular convolution, which allows simple frequency-domain equalization on each subcarrier. The cyclic prefix must cover the channel delay spread. Otherwise residual ISI and inter-carrier interference may remain. ==8. Limitations and practical considerations== No single equalizer is best for every channel. ZF may perform poorly with deep spectral nulls, and MMSE needs estimates of noise and channel statistics. DFE performance can suffer from error propagation. [[wikipedia:Maximum_likelihood_sequence_estimation|MLSE]] becomes computationally demanding as channel memory or modulation order increases. Adaptive methods must balance convergence speed, tracking ability and steady-state accuracy. Equalizer performance also depends on accurate timing recovery and channel estimation. Training sequences use up transmission resources, and decision-directed adaptation can be unreliable when the receiver makes many errors. In severe or rapidly changing channels, equalization is often combined with channel coding, interleaving, diversity or iterative detection and decoding. ==9. Conclusion== ISI occurs when the effective channel response spreads the energy of one transmitted symbol into the sampling intervals of its neighbours. Bandwidth limits, multipath [[wikipedia:Propagation|propagation]], frequency-selective Distortion and timing errors are both responsible for it. The Nyquist criterion gives the pulse-shaping condition for zero ISI at ideal sampling instants. Equalizers compensate for channel distortion using zero-forcing, [[wikipedia:Minimum_mean_square_error_estimator|MMSE]], decision feedback, maximum likelihood sequence estimation or [[wikipedia:Adaptive_filter|adaptive filtering]]. Choosing among them means trading off residual ISI, noise enhancement, error propagation, computational complexity and the ability to track channel changes. ==References== <ref>H.Nyquist, "Certain topics in telegraph transmission theory," Transactions of the AIEE, Vol. 47, no. 2, pp. 617-644,1928.</ref> <ref>R.

Each symbol is shaped into a pulse and sent through a physical channel. The [[wikipedia:Receiver|receiver]] filters the signal and samples it at the expected symbol times. Ideally, each sample depends only on the symbol being detected. In practice, limited channel [[wikipedia:Bandwidth|bandwidth]], [[wikipedia:Reflection_(physics)|reflections]] and frequency-dependent distortion spread pulses in time, so energy from neighbouring symbols overlaps at the sampling instant. This is called inter-symbol interference(ISI).[[File:Closes eye.png]] ISI makes symbol decisions less reliable and can raise the bit-error rate, particularly at high data rates. Equalization is a set of signal-processing techniques that compensate for the channel distortion and reduce ISI. Equalizers may be linear or nonlinear, and their coefficients may be fixed or adapted as the channel changes. ==2.Mathematical model of ISI== For a linear [[wikipedia:Pulse-amplitude_modulation|pulse-amplitude modulation system]], the received baseband signal can be written as: Here a_k is the transmitted symbol, T is the sysmbol period,h(t) is the overall pulse response of the transmit filter, channel, and receive filter, and n(t) is noise. Sampling at t=mT gives:Y_m =h_0a_m+ Σ_{k≠m} h_{m−k} a_k + n_m, where h_j = h(jT) The first term is the desired symbol. The sum is the ISI from the other symbols and n_m is the sampled noise. Interference from earlier symbols is generally known as postcursor ISI and interference from later symbols is called precursor ISI. Worst case peak distortion is given by D=Σ_{j=0} |h_j| / |h_0|. For binary antipodal signalling D < 1 is sufficient to maintain a positive decision margin at a noiseless threshold detector. ==3.The Nyquist zero-ISI criterion== The [[wikipedia:Nyquist_ISI_criterion|Nyquist criterion]] gives the condition for the elimination of ISI at the ideal sampling instants. The overall pulse response must satisfy: Only the [[wikipedia:Pulse|pulse]] for the symbol being sampled at that instant contributes. In the frequency domain the same condition requires suitably shifted copies of the spectrum to sum to a constant. For a symbol rate of 1/T the minimum one sided [[wikipedia:Baseband|baseband bandwidth]] is 1/(2T)Hz under the normal [[wikipedia:Low-pass_filter|low pass]] convention.

When the earlier decisions are correct the feedback section will cancel the postcursor ISI without filtering the channel noise in the way that a linear inverse filter would. The forward section deals with the precursor interference. The main drawback is error propagation in that one erroneous decision can be fed back and cause further errors. ===5.3 Maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE)=== [[wikipedia:Maximum_likelihood_sequence_estimation|MLSE]] detects a sequence of symbols rather than making a decision on each symbol independently. It chooses the candidate sequence whose predicted channel output is most likely to have generated the received samples. Under the additive white [[wikipedia:Gaussian_noise|Gaussian noise]] model this is equivalent to minimizing some suitable squared distance metric and the Viterbi algorithm can be used to search for this efficiently via a trellis. For an [[wikipedia:M-ary_transmission|M-ary]] modulation alphabet and a channel memory of L previous symbols a conventional trellis has M^L states so complexity increases very rapidly with channel memory. MLSE can detect very well in fact, but it requires channel knowledge and can be prohibitively expensive for long channels. Reduced state approaches are used to reduce the search complexity. ===5.4 Adaptive equalization=== In many practical situations the channel response is either unknown a priori or it varies with time. [[wikipedia:Adaptive_equalizer|Adaptive equalizers]] will update their coefficients using a training sequence, decision directed operation or blind adaptation. During the training phase known symbols are used as a reference. Subsequently the receiver can use its own decisions as an approximate reference. [[wikipedia:Least_mean_squares_filter|Least-mean-square (LMS)]] algorithm LMS is a very widely used stochastic gradient algorithm which tunes the filter coefficients to minimize the mean square error. For a received-sample vector u_n, coefficient vector w_n and desired symbol d_n, the error and update are: The step size determines the adaptation rate and the stability. A larger step size will track changes more quickly but can also lead to a larger steady state error or even instability. LMS is very cheap to compute, just convergence can be quite slow when the input correlation matrix is badly conditioned. [wikipedia:Least_mean_squares_filter][[wikipedia:Recursive_least_squares_filter|Least-mean-square (LMS)]]. RLS minimizes an exponentially weighted sum of the past squared errors. It generally converges faster than LMS and is less sensitive to input correlation (which is very useful when you need to adapt rapidly). The downside is that it's considerably more computationally expensive (typically O(N squared) where N is the number of taps) and requires a very careful numerical implementation. ==6. Comparison of equalization methods== [[wikipedia:Zero-forcing_equalizer|ZF equalizer]] strongly suppresses ISI but can amplify noise. MMSE balances interference against noise. [[wikipedia:DFE|DFE]] cancels postcursor ISI efficiently but can propagate decision errors. [[wikipedia:Maximum_likelihood_sequence_estimation|MLSE]] detects whole sequences with high complexity when channel memory is long. [[wikipedia:Least_mean_squares_filter|Least-mean-square (LMS)]] is simple to compute but may converge slowly, while RLS adapts faster at a higher computational cost. These methods are not all separate structures: [[wikipedia:Least_mean_squares_filter|Least-mean-square (LMS)]] and [[wikipedia:Least_mean_squares_filter|Least-mean-square (LMS)]] are adaptation algorithms that can update linear or decision-feedback equalizers. ==7. Applications== [[wikipedia:Equalization_(communications)|Equalization]] has been important in [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_transmission high-speed data transmission] over telephone lines and subscriber loops, where channel bandwidth and frequency response distort transmitted pulses. It is also used in wireless systems, including cellular radio, fixed wireless links and other multipath environments. Adaptive equalizers help most when movement or changing surroundings make the channel response vary. [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_frequency-division_multiplexing Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)] is a related way to reduce frequency-selective distortion. [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_frequency-division_multiplexing OFDM] divides a high-rate data stream among many lower rate subcarriers. With a sufficiently long cyclic prefix, the channel's linear convolution over a useful [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_frequency-division_multiplexing OFDM] symbol can be treated as circular convolution, which allows simple frequency-domain equalization on each subcarrier. The cyclic prefix must cover the channel delay spread. Otherwise residual ISI and inter-carrier interference may remain. ==8. Limitations and practical considerations== No single equalizer is best for every channel. [[wikipedia:Zero-forcing_equalizer|ZF equalizer]] may perform poorly with deep spectral nulls, and MMSE needs estimates of noise and channel statistics. [[wikipedia:DFE|DFE]] performance can suffer from error propagation. [[wikipedia:Maximum_likelihood_sequence_estimation|MLSE]] becomes computationally demanding as channel memory or modulation order increases. Adaptive methods must balance convergence speed, tracking ability and steady-state accuracy. Equalizer performance also depends on accurate timing recovery and channel estimation. Training sequences use up transmission resources, and decision-directed adaptation can be unreliable when the receiver makes many errors. In severe or rapidly changing channels, equalization is often combined with channel coding, interleaving, diversity or iterative detection and decoding. ==9. Conclusion== ISI occurs when the effective channel response spreads the energy of one transmitted symbol into the sampling intervals of its neighbors. Bandwidth limits, multipath [[wikipedia:Propagation|propagation]], frequency-selective Distortion and timing errors are both responsible for it. The Nyquist criterion gives the pulse-shaping condition for [[wikipedia:Nyquist_ISI_criterion|zero-ISI condition]] at ideal sampling instants. Equalizers compensate for channel distortion using zero-forcing, [[wikipedia:Minimum_mean_square_error_estimator|MMSE]], decision feedback, maximum likelihood sequence estimation or [[wikipedia:Adaptive_filter|adaptive filtering]]. Choosing among them means trading off residual ISI, noise enhancement, [[wikipedia:Propagation_of_uncertainty|error propagation]], computational complexity and the ability to track channel changes. ==References== <ref>H.Nyquist, "Certain topics in telegraph transmission theory," Transactions of the AIEE, Vol. 47, no. 2, pp. 617-644,1928.</ref> <ref>R.

A well-known example is the Apollo Guidance Computer of the 1960s, which was one of the first computers to be built from integrated circuits.<ref name="wiki-agc">{{cite web |title=Apollo Guidance Computer |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer |website=Wikipedia |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> Cost was the real barrier for everyday products. A microprocessor such as the Intel 4004 (1971) placed the CPU on one chip, but a designer still had to add separate RAM, ROM and input/output chips to the circuit board. The '''microcontroller''' removed this burden by putting the processor, memory and peripherals on the same piece of silicon, which made boards smaller, cheaper and more power-efficient.<ref name="wiki-mcu">{{cite web |title=Microcontroller |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcontroller |website=Wikipedia |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> Early commercial examples include the Texas Instruments TMS 1000 and the Intel 8048. The Intel 8051, introduced in 1980, became so popular that members of its family are still sold and taught in university labs today. Two later changes brought microcontrollers from factories to student desks. The first was on-chip '''flash memory''' (widely adopted in the 1990s), which allowed a chip to be erased and reprogrammed again and again instead of being thrown away after one mistake. The second was the arrival of cheap, open development boards such as Arduino in 2005, which hid most of the difficult set-up work from beginners. === Timeline === {| class="wikitable" ! Year !!

As an example, consider an automatic controller for a rooftop water tank: # '''Sense:''' a level sensor (for example an ultrasonic distance sensor) measures how far the water surface is from the top of the tank. # '''Convert:''' if the sensor gives an analog voltage, the microcontroller's '''ADC''' (analog-to-digital converter) turns it into a number. The 10-bit ADC of the ATmega328P gives values from 0 to 1023 for 0 V to 5 V, so one step is about 4.9 mV. # '''Think:''' the program compares the level with two limits. It switches the pump '''on''' when the level falls below 20% and switches it '''off''' when the level rises above 90%. Using two different limits (called ''hysteresis'') stops the pump from rapidly switching on and off around a single threshold. # '''Act:''' the microcontroller drives a relay through a GPIO pin, and the relay powers the pump. The sensor keeps measuring while the pump runs, so the result of the action is fed back into the next decision. This repeating cycle is called '''feedback'''. <!-- Draw your own flow diagram of the water-tank controller, then un-comment: [[File:YourDiagramName.png|thumb|center|500px|Sense, think, act cycle of a water-tank level controller.]] --> == Inside a modern microcontroller == The ATmega328P, the chip on the Arduino Uno, is a good example to study because its data sheet is short enough to read and its features are typical of small MCUs.<ref name="atmega">{{cite web |title=ATmega328P 8-bit AVR Microcontroller Datasheet |publisher=Microchip Technology |url=https://www.microchip.com/ |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> Its main blocks are: * '''CPU:''' an 8-bit AVR RISC core. The Uno board clocks it at 16 MHz with an external crystal. * '''Flash memory (32 KB):''' stores the program and keeps it when power is off. * '''SRAM (2 KB):''' holds variables while the program runs; its contents are lost at power-off. * '''EEPROM (1 KB):''' small non-volatile memory for settings or calibration values. * '''Timers/counters:''' generate delays, measure time and produce PWM signals. * '''ADC:''' converts analog voltages from sensors into numbers. * '''Serial interfaces:''' UART (USART), SPI and I2C (called TWI on AVR chips). * '''GPIO pins:''' general-purpose pins that the program can set as inputs or outputs. The AVR core uses a '''Harvard architecture''', meaning that program memory and data memory have separate buses, so an instruction can be fetched while data is being accessed. Larger 32-bit microcontrollers add extras such as a floating-point unit, DMA (moving data without using the CPU), caches and hardware security blocks, but the basic idea of "CPU + memory + peripherals on one chip" stays the same. <!-- Draw your own block diagram of the ATmega328P (CPU, Flash, SRAM, EEPROM, timers, ADC, UART/SPI/I2C, GPIO), then un-comment: [[File:YourBlockDiagram.png|thumb|center|500px|Simplified block diagram of an ATmega328P-type microcontroller.]] --> == Choosing a microcontroller == There is no single "best" microcontroller. The right choice depends on the job, and the main questions are: * How much '''processing speed''' and '''memory''' does the program need? * Which '''peripherals''' are required (ADCs, timers, CAN, USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)? * How strict is the '''power budget''' (battery-powered or mains-powered)? * What is the '''cost''' per unit, and will the part stay available? * How good are the '''tools, libraries and community support'''? The table compares four chips that students often meet. Always confirm the exact numbers in the manufacturer's datasheet before relying on them. {| class="wikitable" ! Chip !! Core !!

It shows how a program can control the physical world through a GPIO pin. === What you need === * 1 × Arduino Uno (or a compatible board) * 1 × LED (any colour) * 1 × 220 Ω resistor * Jumper wires and a breadboard * A USB cable and a computer with the Arduino IDE installed * ''No hardware?'' Use a free online simulator such as Wokwi or Tinkercad Circuits. === Circuit === Connect digital pin 8 to one end of the resistor. Connect the other end of the resistor to the '''long leg (anode)''' of the LED. Connect the '''short leg (cathode)''' of the LED to a GND pin. The resistor is needed to limit the current. A typical red LED drops about 2 V when it conducts, and the Uno pin outputs 5 V when HIGH, so: : ''I = (5 V − 2 V) / 220 Ω ≈ 13.6 mA'' This is within the safe range for an Uno pin. Without the resistor the current would be limited only by the LED, and the LED or the pin could be damaged. <!-- Draw your own circuit diagram (Fritzing, Tinkercad or draw.io), then un-comment: [[File:YourCircuitDiagram.png|thumb|center|400px|Arduino Uno pin 8 connected through a 220 Ω resistor to an LED and GND.]] --> === Code === <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> // Blink an LED on pin 8 once per second const int LED_PIN = 8; void setup() { pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT); // configure pin 8 as an output } void loop() { digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH); // LED on delay(1000); // wait 1000 ms digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW); // LED off delay(1000); } </syntaxhighlight> The function <code>setup()</code> runs once after reset, and <code>loop()</code> repeats forever. <code>pinMode()</code> chooses whether a pin is an input or an output, and <code>digitalWrite()</code> sets an output pin HIGH (5 V) or LOW (0 V). === Try it yourself === # Change the two delays to 200 ms and 800 ms. Describe how the LED behaviour changes. # Move the LED to pin 9 and update <code>LED_PIN</code>. # Connect two LEDs on different pins and make them blink alternately. # ''Challenge:'' replace <code>delay()</code> with timing based on <code>millis()</code> so the program can do other work while the LED blinks. == Interrupts == An '''interrupt''' lets hardware demand the processor's attention immediately. When the event happens, the CPU saves its place, runs a short function called an '''interrupt service routine (ISR)''', and then returns to the instruction it was executing before. The alternative is '''polling''', where the program checks an input again and again inside a loop. Polling is simple, but it wastes CPU time and can miss short events if the loop is busy. Interrupts react quickly and allow the processor to sleep between events, which saves power. On the Arduino Uno, pins 2 and 3 can trigger external interrupts.<ref name="arduino-int">{{cite web |title=attachInterrupt() |website=Arduino Documentation |url=https://docs.arduino.cc/language-reference/en/functions/external-interrupts/attachInterrupt/ |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> The following program toggles an LED whenever a push-button is pressed: <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> const int BUTTON_PIN = 2; // button between pin 2 and GND const int LED_PIN = 8; volatile bool buttonPressed = false; // shared with the ISR, so it is volatile void onPress() { // the ISR: keep it very short buttonPressed = true; } void setup() { pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT); pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP); // internal pull-up: pressed = LOW attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(BUTTON_PIN), onPress, FALLING); } void loop() { if (buttonPressed) { buttonPressed = false; digitalWrite(LED_PIN, !digitalRead(LED_PIN)); // toggle the LED } } </syntaxhighlight> Good habits for ISRs: * Keep them short, and do the heavy work in <code>loop()</code>. * Mark variables that are shared with the ISR as <code>volatile</code>. * Do not use <code>delay()</code> inside an ISR. * Real push-buttons "bounce" (they make and break contact several times in a few milliseconds), so a practical design adds debouncing in hardware or software. == Communication: UART == Microcontrollers must talk to computers, sensors and other chips. '''UART''' (universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter) is one of the simplest ways. It uses two data lines, '''TX''' (transmit) and '''RX''' (receive), plus a common ground. There is no clock wire: both sides agree beforehand on the speed, called the '''baud rate''' (for example 9600). A common setting is called '''8N1''': one start bit (always 0), eight data bits sent least-significant bit first, no parity bit, and one stop bit (always 1). For example, the letter "A" has ASCII code 0x41 (binary 01000001), so the line carries: : start 0 | 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 | stop 1 Each byte therefore costs 10 bits on the wire. At 9600 baud this gives about 9600 / 10 = 960 bytes per second. <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // start UART at 9600 baud Serial.println("Ready"); } void loop() { if (Serial.available() > 0) { // a byte has arrived char c = Serial.read(); Serial.print("You sent: "); Serial.println(c); } } </syntaxhighlight> Open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE, type a character and press Send to see the reply. On the Uno, pins 0 and 1 are shared with the USB-to-serial converter, so avoid using them for other purposes. Also remember voltage levels: an Uno works at 5 V while an ESP32 works at 3.3 V, so a level shifter or voltage divider is needed when connecting the two. <!-- Draw your own timing diagram of the "A" frame, then un-comment: [[File:YourUartTiming.png|thumb|center|500px|UART frame for the letter A at 8N1.]] --> == Hardware security == Many embedded devices (smart meters, door locks, medical devices) sit in places where attackers can touch them or reach them over a network, so modern microcontrollers include protection in hardware. It helps to think of each feature as an answer to a specific threat: {| class="wikitable" ! Threat !! Hardware defence !! How it helps |- | Attacker loads fake firmware || '''Secure boot''' || The chip checks a digital signature on the firmware and refuses to run it if the check fails |- | Attacker copies the program through the debug port || '''Readout protection''' || Locks the debug interface or the flash so the code cannot be read out |- | Data can be read from the flash chip || '''Flash encryption''' || Stores the program in encrypted form |- | Slow software encryption || '''Crypto accelerators''' || Dedicated hardware for algorithms such as AES and SHA, faster and more power-efficient |- | Weak keys || '''Hardware random number generator''' || Provides unpredictable numbers for keys |- | A bug in one task corrupts another || '''Memory protection unit (MPU)''' || Separates memory regions so that faulty code cannot overwrite critical data |- | Old firmware has known flaws || '''Signed, encrypted updates''' || Allows safe over-the-air updates |} Hardware features only help when they are switched on and used properly. Many real incidents are caused by simple mistakes, such as leaving a default password on a device. == Machine learning on microcontrollers (TinyML) == '''TinyML''' means running machine-learning models directly on very small, low-power devices instead of sending data to a server. Typical uses include detecting a spoken "wake word", recognising simple gestures from an accelerometer, and spotting abnormal vibration in a motor so that maintenance can be planned before it fails.<ref name="tinyml-book">{{cite book |last1=Warden |first1=Pete |last2=Situnayake |first2=Daniel |title=TinyML: Machine Learning with TensorFlow Lite on Arduino and Ultra-Low-Power Microcontrollers |publisher=O'Reilly Media |year=2019}}</ref> Running the model locally has three advantages: low '''latency''' (no network delay), better '''privacy''' (raw sound or sensor data need not leave the device), and low '''power''' use. The challenge is memory: a typical microcontroller has kilobytes, not gigabytes. Models are therefore shrunk before deployment. One common technique is '''quantisation''', which stores the weights as 8-bit integers instead of 32-bit floating-point numbers and makes the model roughly four times smaller. Frameworks such as TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers are designed for this kind of device.<ref name="tflm">{{cite web |title=TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers |url=https://blog.tensorflow.org/2023/02/tensorflow-lite-micro-with-ml-acceleration.html |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> == Summary == An embedded system is a dedicated computer inside a product, and the microcontroller is the single chip that makes it small, cheap and power-efficient.

The first was on-chip '''flash memory''' (widely adopted in the 1990s), which allowed a chip to be erased and reprogrammed again and again instead of being thrown away after one mistake.

As an example, consider an automatic controller for a rooftop water tank: # '''Sense:''' a level sensor (for example an ultrasonic distance sensor) measures how far the water surface is from the top of the tank. # '''Convert:''' if the sensor gives an analog voltage, the microcontroller's '''ADC''' (analog-to-digital converter) turns it into a number. The 10-bit ADC of the ATmega328P gives values from 0 to 1023 for 0 V to 5 V, so one step is about 4.9 mV. # '''Think:''' the program compares the level with two limits. It switches the pump '''on''' when the level falls below 20% and switches it '''off''' when the level rises above 90%. Using two different limits (called ''hysteresis'') stops the pump from rapidly switching on and off around a single threshold. # '''Act:''' the microcontroller drives a relay through a GPIO pin, and the relay powers the pump. The sensor keeps measuring while the pump runs, so the result of the action is fed back into the next decision. This repeating cycle is called '''feedback'''.

The Uno board clocks it at 16 MHz with an external crystal. * '''Flash memory (32 KB):''' stores the program and keeps it when power is off. * '''SRAM (2 KB):''' holds variables while the program runs; its contents are lost at power-off. * '''EEPROM (1 KB):''' small non-volatile memory for settings or calibration values. * '''Timers/counters:''' generate delays, measure time and produce PWM signals. * '''ADC:''' converts analog voltages from sensors into numbers. * '''Serial interfaces:''' UART (USART), SPI and I2C (called TWI on AVR chips). * '''GPIO pins:''' general-purpose pins that the program can set as inputs or outputs. The AVR core uses a '''Harvard architecture''', meaning that program memory and data memory have separate buses, so an instruction can be fetched while data is being accessed. Larger 32-bit microcontrollers add extras such as a floating-point unit, DMA (moving data without using the CPU), caches and hardware security blocks, but the basic idea of "CPU + memory + peripherals on one chip" stays the same. [[File:ATmega328P_Microcontroller_Block_Diagram.png|thumb|center|700px|Simplified internal architecture of an ATmega328P-type microcontroller.]] == Choosing a microcontroller == There is no single "best" microcontroller. The right choice depends on the job, and the main questions are: * How much '''processing speed''' and '''memory''' does the program need? * Which '''peripherals''' are required (ADCs, timers, CAN, USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)? * How strict is the '''power budget''' (battery-powered or mains-powered)? * What is the '''cost''' per unit, and will the part stay available? * How good are the '''tools, libraries and community support'''?

It shows how a program can control the physical world through a GPIO pin. === What you need === * 1 × Arduino Uno (or a compatible board) * 1 × LED (any colour) * 1 × 220 Ω resistor * Jumper wires and a breadboard * A USB cable and a computer with the Arduino IDE installed * ''No hardware?'' Use a free online simulator such as Wokwi or Tinkercad Circuits. === Circuit === Connect digital pin 8 to one end of the resistor. Connect the other end of the resistor to the '''long leg (anode)''' of the LED. Connect the '''short leg (cathode)''' of the LED to a GND pin. The resistor is needed to limit the current. A typical red LED drops about 2 V when it conducts, and the Uno pin outputs 5 V when HIGH, so: : ''I = (5 V − 2 V) / 220 Ω ≈ 13.6 mA'' This is within the safe range for an Uno pin. Without the resistor the current would be limited only by the LED, and the LED or the pin could be damaged. [[File:Arduino_Uno_LED_Blink_Circuit.png|thumb|center|650px|Arduino Uno LED interfacing circuit using digital pin 8 and a 220 ohm current-limiting resistor.]] === Code === <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> // Blink an LED on pin 8 once per second const int LED_PIN = 8; void setup() { pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT); // configure pin 8 as an output } void loop() { digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH); // LED on delay(1000); // wait 1000 ms digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW); // LED off delay(1000); } </syntaxhighlight> The function <code>setup()</code> runs once after reset, and <code>loop()</code> repeats forever. <code>pinMode()</code> chooses whether a pin is an input or an output, and <code>digitalWrite()</code> sets an output pin HIGH (5 V) or LOW (0 V). === Try it yourself === # Change the two delays to 200 ms and 800 ms. Describe how the LED behaviour changes. # Move the LED to pin 9 and update <code>LED_PIN</code>. # Connect two LEDs on different pins and make them blink alternately. # ''Challenge:'' replace <code>delay()</code> with timing based on <code>millis()</code> so the program can do other work while the LED blinks. == Interrupts == An '''interrupt''' lets hardware demand the processor's attention immediately. When the event happens, the CPU saves its place, runs a short function called an '''interrupt service routine (ISR)''', and then returns to the instruction it was executing before. The alternative is '''polling''', where the program checks an input again and again inside a loop. Polling is simple, but it wastes CPU time and can miss short events if the loop is busy. Interrupts react quickly and allow the processor to sleep between events, which saves power. On the Arduino Uno, pins 2 and 3 can trigger external interrupts.<ref name="arduino-int">{{cite web |title=attachInterrupt() |website=Arduino Documentation |url=https://docs.arduino.cc/language-reference/en/functions/external-interrupts/attachInterrupt/ |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> The following program toggles an LED whenever a push-button is pressed: <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> const int BUTTON_PIN = 2; // button between pin 2 and GND const int LED_PIN = 8; volatile bool buttonPressed = false; // shared with the ISR, so it is volatile void onPress() { // the ISR: keep it very short buttonPressed = true; } void setup() { pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT); pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP); // internal pull-up: pressed = LOW attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(BUTTON_PIN), onPress, FALLING); } void loop() { if (buttonPressed) { buttonPressed = false; digitalWrite(LED_PIN, !digitalRead(LED_PIN)); // toggle the LED } } </syntaxhighlight> Good habits for ISRs: * Keep them short, and do the heavy work in <code>loop()</code>. * Mark variables that are shared with the ISR as <code>volatile</code>. * Do not use <code>delay()</code> inside an ISR. * Real push-buttons "bounce" (they make and break contact several times in a few milliseconds), so a practical design adds debouncing in hardware or software. [[File:Arduino_Button_Interrupt_ISR_Timeline.png|thumb|center|700px|Timeline showing how the processor pauses the main loop, executes an interrupt service routine, and then resumes the program.]] == Communication: UART == Microcontrollers must talk to computers, sensors and other chips. '''UART''' (universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter) is one of the simplest ways. It uses two data lines, '''TX''' (transmit) and '''RX''' (receive), plus a common ground. There is no clock wire: both sides agree beforehand on the speed, called the '''baud rate''' (for example 9600). A common setting is called '''8N1''': one start bit (always 0), eight data bits sent least-significant bit first, no parity bit, and one stop bit (always 1). For example, the letter "A" has ASCII code 0x41 (binary 01000001), so the line carries: : start 0 | 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 | stop 1 Each byte therefore costs 10 bits on the wire. At 9600 baud this gives about 9600 / 10 = 960 bytes per second. <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // start UART at 9600 baud Serial.println("Ready"); } void loop() { if (Serial.available() > 0) { // a byte has arrived char c = Serial.read(); Serial.print("You sent: "); Serial.println(c); } } </syntaxhighlight> Open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE, type a character and press Send to see the reply. On the Uno, pins 0 and 1 are shared with the USB-to-serial converter, so avoid using them for other purposes. Also remember voltage levels: an Uno works at 5 V while an ESP32 works at 3.3 V, so a level shifter or voltage divider is needed when connecting the two. [[File:UART_8N1_Frame_Letter_A.png|thumb|center|700px|UART timing diagram for transmitting the character A using the 8N1 frame format.]] == Hardware security == Many embedded devices (smart meters, door locks, medical devices) sit in places where attackers can touch them or reach them over a network, so modern microcontrollers include protection in hardware. It helps to think of each feature as an answer to a specific threat: {| class="wikitable" ! Threat !! Hardware defence !! How it helps |- | Attacker loads fake firmware || '''Secure boot''' || The chip checks a digital signature on the firmware and refuses to run it if the check fails |- | Attacker copies the program through the debug port || '''Readout protection''' || Locks the debug interface or the flash so the code cannot be read out |- | Data can be read from the flash chip || '''Flash encryption''' || Stores the program in encrypted form |- | Slow software encryption || '''Crypto accelerators''' || Dedicated hardware for algorithms such as AES and SHA, faster and more power-efficient |- | Weak keys || '''Hardware random number generator''' || Provides unpredictable numbers for keys |- | A bug in one task corrupts another || '''Memory protection unit (MPU)''' || Separates memory regions so that faulty code cannot overwrite critical data |- | Old firmware has known flaws || '''Signed, encrypted updates''' || Allows safe over-the-air updates |} Hardware features only help when they are switched on and used properly. Many real incidents are caused by simple mistakes, such as leaving a default password on a device. == Machine learning on microcontrollers (TinyML) == '''TinyML''' means running machine-learning models directly on very small, low-power devices instead of sending data to a server. Typical uses include detecting a spoken "wake word", recognising simple gestures from an accelerometer, and spotting abnormal vibration in a motor so that maintenance can be planned before it fails.<ref name="tinyml-book">{{cite book |last1=Warden |first1=Pete |last2=Situnayake |first2=Daniel |title=TinyML: Machine Learning with TensorFlow Lite on Arduino and Ultra-Low-Power Microcontrollers |publisher=O'Reilly Media |year=2019}}</ref> Running the model locally has three advantages: low '''latency''' (no network delay), better '''privacy''' (raw sound or sensor data need not leave the device), and low '''power''' use. The challenge is memory: a typical microcontroller has kilobytes, not gigabytes. Models are therefore shrunk before deployment. One common technique is '''quantisation''', which stores the weights as 8-bit integers instead of 32-bit floating-point numbers and makes the model roughly four times smaller. Frameworks such as TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers are designed for this kind of device.<ref name="tflm">{{cite web |title=TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers |url=https://blog.tensorflow.org/2023/02/tensorflow-lite-micro-with-ml-acceleration.html |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> == Summary == An embedded system is a dedicated computer inside a product, and the microcontroller is the single chip that makes it small, cheap and power-efficient. Almost all of them repeat the sense–think–act cycle. To work with them you need to understand their memory, peripherals, interrupts and communication links, and to keep security and power use in mind from the start. == Quiz == # What does a microcontroller contain that a bare microprocessor does not? # Why is hysteresis used in the water-tank example? # Why is a series resistor needed with an LED? # Why should an ISR be short? # How many bits are sent on the wire for one byte in UART 8N1 format? # Give two reasons why TinyML models are quantised. <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="Show answers" data-collapsetext="Hide answers"> '''Answers''' # Memory (RAM and program memory) and peripherals such as timers, ADC and GPIO on the same chip. # It stops the pump from switching on and off rapidly when the level hovers around one threshold. # It limits the current so that the LED and the pin are not damaged. # While an ISR runs, the main program is paused and other events may be delayed or missed. # Ten bits: one start bit, eight data bits and one stop bit. # To reduce the model size so it fits in the small memory, and to make calculations faster and cheaper in power. </div> == References == <references /> == Further reading == * Microcontroller datasheets and reference manuals from the manufacturers (Microchip, STMicroelectronics, Espressif) * The official Arduino language reference and tutorials * [[Embedded Systems]] (the main Wikibooks book on this subject) ss6bj7disdl1wpbj71zcsrdiq5xyqlg 4681384 4681379 2026-11-10T15:34:41Z Harikrishna809 3630064 4681384 wikitext text/x-wiki An '''embedded system''' is a computer that is built into a product so that it can control one specific function of that product.

[[File:4 uart frame letter A.png|thumb|center|700px|UART timing diagram for transmitting the character A using the 8N1 frame format.]] == Hardware security == Many embedded devices (smart meters, door locks, medical devices) sit in places where attackers can touch them or reach them over a network, so modern microcontrollers include protection in hardware. It helps to think of each feature as an answer to a specific threat: {| class="wikitable" ! Threat !! Hardware defence !! How it helps |- | Attacker loads fake firmware || '''Secure boot''' || The chip checks a digital signature on the firmware and refuses to run it if the check fails |- | Attacker copies the program through the debug port || '''Readout protection''' || Locks the debug interface or the flash so the code cannot be read out |- | Data can be read from the flash chip || '''Flash encryption''' || Stores the program in encrypted form |- | Slow software encryption || '''Crypto accelerators''' || Dedicated hardware for algorithms such as AES and SHA, faster and more power-efficient |- | Weak keys || '''Hardware random number generator''' || Provides unpredictable numbers for keys |- | A bug in one task corrupts another || '''Memory protection unit (MPU)''' || Separates memory regions so that faulty code cannot overwrite critical data |- | Old firmware has known flaws || '''Signed, encrypted updates''' || Allows safe over-the-air updates |} Hardware features only help when they are switched on and used properly. Many real incidents are caused by simple mistakes, such as leaving a default password on a device. == Machine learning on microcontrollers (TinyML) == '''TinyML''' means running machine-learning models directly on very small, low-power devices instead of sending data to a server. Typical uses include detecting a spoken "wake word", recognising simple gestures from an accelerometer, and spotting abnormal vibration in a motor so that maintenance can be planned before it fails.<ref name="tinyml-book">{{cite book |last1=Warden |first1=Pete |last2=Situnayake |first2=Daniel |title=TinyML: Machine Learning with TensorFlow Lite on Arduino and Ultra-Low-Power Microcontrollers |publisher=O'Reilly Media |year=2019}}</ref> Running the model locally has three advantages: low '''latency''' (no network delay), better '''privacy''' (raw sound or sensor data need not leave the device), and low '''power''' use. The challenge is memory: a typical microcontroller has kilobytes, not gigabytes. Models are therefore shrunk before deployment. One common technique is '''quantisation''', which stores the weights as 8-bit integers instead of 32-bit floating-point numbers and makes the model roughly four times smaller. Frameworks such as TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers are designed for this kind of device.<ref name="tflm">{{cite web |title=TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers |url=https://blog.tensorflow.org/2023/02/tensorflow-lite-micro-with-ml-acceleration.html |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> == Summary == An embedded system is a dedicated computer inside a product, and the microcontroller is the single chip that makes it small, cheap and power-efficient. Almost all of them repeat the sense–think–act cycle. To work with them you need to understand their memory, peripherals, interrupts and communication links, and to keep security and power use in mind from the start. == Quiz == # What does a microcontroller contain that a bare microprocessor does not? # Why is hysteresis used in the water-tank example? # Why is a series resistor needed with an LED? # Why should an ISR be short? # How many bits are sent on the wire for one byte in UART 8N1 format? # Give two reasons why TinyML models are quantised. <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="Show answers" data-collapsetext="Hide answers"> '''Answers''' # Memory (RAM and program memory) and peripherals such as timers, ADC and GPIO on the same chip. # It stops the pump from switching on and off rapidly when the level hovers around one threshold. # It limits the current so that the LED and the pin are not damaged. # While an ISR runs, the main program is paused and other events may be delayed or missed. # Ten bits: one start bit, eight data bits and one stop bit. # To reduce the model size so it fits in the small memory, and to make calculations faster and cheaper in power. </div> == References == <references /> == Further reading == * Microcontroller datasheets and reference manuals from the manufacturers (Microchip, STMicroelectronics, Espressif) * The official Arduino language reference and tutorials * [[Embedded Systems]] (the main Wikibooks book on this subject) 2rw5sacumamwcowbc6weq7xpmp9ttsg 4681386 4681384 2026-11-10T15:39:27Z Harikrishna809 3630064 4681386 wikitext text/x-wiki == Embedded Systems and Microcontrollers == An '''embedded system''' is a computer that is built into a product so that it can control one specific function of that product.

This page explains both ideas side by side, and the worked examples use the Arduino Uno (ATmega328P) because it is the board most ECE labs begin with. == History == The first embedded computers were built for military and space projects, where reliability mattered more than price. A well-known example is the Apollo Guidance Computer of the 1960s, which was one of the first computers to be built from integrated circuits.<ref name="wiki-agc">{{cite web |title=Apollo Guidance Computer |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer |website=Wikipedia |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> Cost was the real barrier for everyday products. A microprocessor such as the Intel 4004 (1971) placed the CPU on one chip, but a designer still had to add separate RAM, ROM and input/output chips to the circuit board. The '''microcontroller''' removed this burden by putting the processor, memory and peripherals on the same piece of silicon, which made boards smaller, cheaper and more power-efficient.<ref name="wiki-mcu">{{cite web |title=Microcontroller |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcontroller |website=Wikipedia |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> Early commercial examples include the Texas Instruments TMS 1000 and the Intel 8048. The Intel 8051, introduced in 1980, became so popular that members of its family are still sold and taught in university labs today. Two later changes brought microcontrollers from factories to student desks. The first was on-chip '''flash memory''' (widely adopted in the 1990s), which allowed a chip to be erased and reprogrammed again and again instead of being thrown away after one mistake. The second was the arrival of cheap, open development boards such as Arduino in 2005, which hid most of the difficult set-up work from beginners. === Timeline === {| class="wikitable" ! Year !!

As an example, consider an automatic controller for a rooftop water tank: # '''Sense:''' a level sensor (for example an ultrasonic distance sensor) measures how far the water surface is from the top of the tank. # '''Convert:''' if the sensor gives an analog voltage, the microcontroller's '''ADC''' (analog-to-digital converter) turns it into a number. The 10-bit ADC of the ATmega328P gives values from 0 to 1023 for 0 V to 5 V, so one step is about 4.9 mV. # '''Think:''' the program compares the level with two limits. It switches the pump '''on''' when the level falls below 20% and switches it '''off''' when the level rises above 90%. Using two different limits (called ''hysteresis'') stops the pump from rapidly switching on and off around a single threshold. # '''Act:''' the microcontroller drives a relay through a GPIO pin, and the relay powers the pump. The sensor keeps measuring while the pump runs, so the result of the action is fed back into the next decision. This repeating cycle is called '''feedback'''. [[File:1 water tank sense think act.png|thumb|center|700px|Feedback-based water tank controller showing the sense, convert, think and act stages.]] == Inside a modern microcontroller == The ATmega328P, the chip on the Arduino Uno, is a good example to study because its data sheet is short enough to read and its features are typical of small MCUs.<ref name="atmega">{{cite web |title=ATmega328P 8-bit AVR Microcontroller Datasheet |publisher=Microchip Technology |url=https://www.microchip.com/ |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> Its main blocks are: * '''CPU:''' an 8-bit AVR RISC core. The Uno board clocks it at 16 MHz with an external crystal. * '''Flash memory (32 KB):''' stores the program and keeps it when power is off. * '''SRAM (2 KB):''' holds variables while the program runs; its contents are lost at power-off. * '''EEPROM (1 KB):''' small non-volatile memory for settings or calibration values. * '''Timers/counters:''' generate delays, measure time and produce PWM signals. * '''ADC:''' converts analog voltages from sensors into numbers. * '''Serial interfaces:''' UART (USART), SPI and I2C (called TWI on AVR chips). * '''GPIO pins:''' general-purpose pins that the program can set as inputs or outputs. The AVR core uses a '''Harvard architecture''', meaning that program memory and data memory have separate buses, so an instruction can be fetched while data is being accessed. Larger 32-bit microcontrollers add extras such as a floating-point unit, DMA (moving data without using the CPU), caches and hardware security blocks, but the basic idea of "CPU + memory + peripherals on one chip" stays the same. [[File:2 atmega328p block diagram.png|thumb|center|700px|Simplified internal architecture of an ATmega328P-type microcontroller.]] == Choosing a microcontroller == There is no single "best" microcontroller. The right choice depends on the job, and the main questions are: * How much '''processing speed''' and '''memory''' does the program need? * Which '''peripherals''' are required (ADCs, timers, CAN, USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)? * How strict is the '''power budget''' (battery-powered or mains-powered)? * What is the '''cost''' per unit, and will the part stay available? * How good are the '''tools, libraries and community support'''? The table compares four chips that students often meet. Always confirm the exact numbers in the manufacturer's datasheet before relying on them. {| class="wikitable" ! Chip !! Core !!

It shows how a program can control the physical world through a GPIO pin. === What you need === * 1 × Arduino Uno (or a compatible board) * 1 × LED (any colour) * 1 × 220 Ω resistor * Jumper wires and a breadboard * A USB cable and a computer with the Arduino IDE installed * ''No hardware?'' Use a free online simulator such as Wokwi or Tinkercad Circuits. === Circuit === Connect digital pin 8 to one end of the resistor. Connect the other end of the resistor to the '''long leg (anode)''' of the LED. Connect the '''short leg (cathode)''' of the LED to a GND pin. The resistor is needed to limit the current. A typical red LED drops about 2 V when it conducts, and the Uno pin outputs 5 V when HIGH, so: : ''I = (5 V − 2 V) / 220 Ω ≈ 13.6 mA'' This is within the safe range for an Uno pin. Without the resistor the current would be limited only by the LED, and the LED or the pin could be damaged. [[File:3 arduino led blink circuit.png|thumb|center|650px|Arduino Uno LED interfacing circuit using digital pin 8 and a 220 ohm current-limiting resistor.]] === Code === <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> // Blink an LED on pin 8 once per second const int LED_PIN = 8; void setup() { pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT); // configure pin 8 as an output } void loop() { digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH); // LED on delay(1000); // wait 1000 ms digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW); // LED off delay(1000); } </syntaxhighlight> The function <code>setup()</code> runs once after reset, and <code>loop()</code> repeats forever. <code>pinMode()</code> chooses whether a pin is an input or an output, and <code>digitalWrite()</code> sets an output pin HIGH (5 V) or LOW (0 V). === Try it yourself === # Change the two delays to 200 ms and 800 ms. Describe how the LED behaviour changes. # Move the LED to pin 9 and update <code>LED_PIN</code>. # Connect two LEDs on different pins and make them blink alternately. # ''Challenge:'' replace <code>delay()</code> with timing based on <code>millis()</code> so the program can do other work while the LED blinks. == Interrupts == An '''interrupt''' lets hardware demand the processor's attention immediately. When the event happens, the CPU saves its place, runs a short function called an '''interrupt service routine (ISR)''', and then returns to the instruction it was executing before. The alternative is '''polling''', where the program checks an input again and again inside a loop. Polling is simple, but it wastes CPU time and can miss short events if the loop is busy. Interrupts react quickly and allow the processor to sleep between events, which saves power. On the Arduino Uno, pins 2 and 3 can trigger external interrupts.<ref name="arduino-int">{{cite web |title=attachInterrupt() |website=Arduino Documentation |url=https://docs.arduino.cc/language-reference/en/functions/external-interrupts/attachInterrupt/ |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> The following program toggles an LED whenever a push-button is pressed: <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> const int BUTTON_PIN = 2; // button between pin 2 and GND const int LED_PIN = 8; volatile bool buttonPressed = false; // shared with the ISR, so it is volatile void onPress() { // the ISR: keep it very short buttonPressed = true; } void setup() { pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT); pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP); // internal pull-up: pressed = LOW attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(BUTTON_PIN), onPress, FALLING); } void loop() { if (buttonPressed) { buttonPressed = false; digitalWrite(LED_PIN, !digitalRead(LED_PIN)); // toggle the LED } } </syntaxhighlight> Good habits for ISRs: * Keep them short, and do the heavy work in <code>loop()</code>. * Mark variables that are shared with the ISR as <code>volatile</code>. * Do not use <code>delay()</code> inside an ISR. * Real push-buttons "bounce" (they make and break contact several times in a few milliseconds), so a practical design adds debouncing in hardware or software. [[File:5 interrupt isr timeline.png|thumb|center|700px|Timeline showing how the processor pauses the main loop, executes an interrupt service routine, and then resumes the program.]] == Communication: UART == Microcontrollers must talk to computers, sensors and other chips. '''UART''' (universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter) is one of the simplest ways. It uses two data lines, '''TX''' (transmit) and '''RX''' (receive), plus a common ground. There is no clock wire: both sides agree beforehand on the speed, called the '''baud rate''' (for example 9600). A common setting is called '''8N1''': one start bit (always 0), eight data bits sent least-significant bit first, no parity bit, and one stop bit (always 1). For example, the letter "A" has ASCII code 0x41 (binary 01000001), so the line carries: : start 0 | 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 | stop 1 Each byte therefore costs 10 bits on the wire. At 9600 baud this gives about 9600 / 10 = 960 bytes per second. <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // start UART at 9600 baud Serial.println("Ready"); } void loop() { if (Serial.available() > 0) { // a byte has arrived char c = Serial.read(); Serial.print("You sent: "); Serial.println(c); } } </syntaxhighlight> Open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE, type a character and press Send to see the reply. On the Uno, pins 0 and 1 are shared with the USB-to-serial converter, so avoid using them for other purposes. Also remember voltage levels: an Uno works at 5 V while an ESP32 works at 3.3 V, so a level shifter or voltage divider is needed when connecting the two.

Robots are extremely flexible machines able to perform a wide range of complicated operations entirely on their own or with the help of human supervision. In the contemporary world, the field of advanced robotics has made its presence felt in all spheres of our lives, making a huge difference in such areas as home environments, healthcare facilities, farming, global transportation and manufacturing industries. With the help of robots, people are saving much effort, achieving incredible accuracy and speed, and performing dangerous and tedious work that is too risky for humans to do. === Applications of Robotics : === ==== 1 Robotics in Homes ==== The development in Robotics actually make daily household works easier, thus helping save precious time and improving modern living spaces. Modern home automation performs many tasks at once by means of specialized and intelligent devices: * Robotic vacuum cleaners find their way around any rooms to clean, vacuum, and mop different floor types while emptying their bins themselves. * Robotic lawn mowers take care of outdoor lawns by using intelligent mapping technologies to cut the grass at an equal level. * Intelligent kitchen assistants help prepare food by measuring all the ingredients, regulating temperatures, and following recipes. ==== 2 Robotics in Healthcare ==== In operation theaters, surgical robots enable surgeons to conduct complicated surgeries in a non-invasive manner with unparalleled precision and steadiness, resulting in faster patient recovery periods. Apart from surgical purposes, autonomous robots traverse the hospital corridors to transport drugs, sterilized surgical equipment, and even food to the respective destinations so that nurses can attend to patients' concerns directly. On the other hand, robotic exoskeletons play a crucial role in aiding rehabilitation patients regain their mobility through physical therapy. ==== 3 Robotics in Agriculture ==== The use of agricultural robotics changes traditional agriculture by ensuring the highest possible yield of crops, proper resource management, and overcoming labor problems. Robotized tractors and drones use highly advanced sensors to survey the landscape, assess the soil quality, and provide water or fertilizer with extreme accuracy. Smart harvesters use computer vision technologies to detect ripe crops and harvest them gently. Moreover, weeding machines use mechanical actions and/or very small amounts of herbicides to remove unwanted plants. This allows for the automation of many difficult laborious processes and makes agriculture more efficient, less costly, and sustainable. ==== 4 Robotics in Transportation ==== Robotics revolutionizes transportation on an international scale through increased logistical efficiency, reduced human errors, and improved safety for passengers. Self-driving cars and autonomous public transportation buses use highly sophisticated LiDAR, radar, and camera systems to ensure that traffic is handled efficiently and that there are no accidents. As far as logistics are concerned, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) move around in warehouses sorting, lifting, and transporting bulky cargo without any human interaction whatsoever. In addition to this, aerial delivery drones and autonomous cargo ships revolutionize supply chains by transporting cargo over great distances without much human interference at all. ==== 5 Robotics in Industries ==== The advent of industrial robotics in manufacturing brings about automation of repetitive and difficult tasks, allowing for unrivaled speed and accuracy of production processes. Specialized robots are used in various industries that are engaged in heavy manufacturing: * Robots for welding and painting provide impeccable finishes and strong bonds, ensuring safety of human workers from inhaling Toxic fumes and extreme temperatures. * Assembly arms for product assembly quickly and precisely assemble complex electronic and automobile parts. * Robots for material handling and quality control use computer vision and lifting mechanics to sort freight and identify any structural flaws. Industrial robots thus eliminate all the dangerous and repetitive operations, reducing mistakes and increasing safety at work. === The Future of Robotics : === Fueled by advancements in automation and artificial intelligence, the coming era of robotics will radically alter what humans are capable of and how their world functions. Breakthrough technologies will be rapidly integrated into our lives. Human-like robots will help deal with labor shortages and the elderly care problem, while self-driving cars will take care of urban transportation logistics. Medical robots of the new generation will carry out highly precise operations on patients, while smart agricultural equipment will ensure global food security by itself. Physical AI is the leading edge of that development; these robots have neural networks incorporated right into their physical bodies. As a result, the robots gain a deep understanding of physical laws and the nature of materials. Rather than performing a rigidly programmed cycle of actions, the machines of the future will be able to react to changing circumstances dynamically. They will evolve from tools into partners for solving complex tasks alongside humans. === Conclusion : === Robotics has become intricately embedded within the very essence of modernity, with the technology bringing about a complete transformation in how society functions through the various aspects of homes, hospitals, industries, agriculture, and even transportation. With the ability to take on dangerous, tedious, and extremely complicated tasks, robotics greatly minimizes human effort, increases the mechanical accuracy of operations, and saves human lives from dangerous conditions. Although the wide application of automation poses some significant social issues in terms of the high cost of capital at the outset and the risk of unemployment, its future possibilities are certainly limitless. With the further development of technology, the connection between advanced engineering and artificial intelligence will only become stronger. Robotics will always be one of the key drivers of innovation in the world. t8vcpv26tyokfmab20i48a8wit8bw3h 2 487106 4681402 2026-11-10T16:10:01Z Cole Annie 3631006 I did not change any of the topic for it is an introduction 4681402 wikitext text/x-wiki <big>Greetings everyone</big> My name is "Cole Annie", I'm new here in '''<u>Wikipedia</u>''' ''"I'm a curious person who loves to gain knowledge about a topic or subject, and love to improve my talents.''

Added illustrative images to support the explanations. 4681406 wikitext text/x-wiki = Brain–Computer Interface in Robotics = == Introduction == For a long time, the primary way of controlling a robot has been through physical devices such as joysticks, remote controllers, keyboards and programmed instructions. These methods work well, but they all require some form of physical input from the user. What if a person could communicate with a robot without touching any of these devices? This is where Brain–Computer Interface (BCI) technology comes into the picture. [[File:Brain–Computer_Interface_in_Robotics.png|thumb|A person wearing an EEG headset interacting with a robotic arm in a modern robotics laboratory.]] A Brain–Computer Interface is a system that allows the brain to communicate with an external device through recorded brain activity. Instead of sending commands through a physical controller, the user produces particular patterns of brain activity, which are recorded and interpreted by a computer. The computer then converts the recognised patterns into commands that an external device can understand. The idea might sound like something from science fiction, but it is already being explored in laboratories around the world. Researchers have demonstrated systems in which people can use brain activity to select commands, move computer cursors and control certain robotic movements. The connection between BCI and robotics is particularly interesting because it brings two different fields together. Neuroscience helps us understand how the brain produces electrical activity, while robotics provides the machines and control systems that can respond to decoded commands. This technology could be useful in several areas, including robotic prosthetics, rehabilitation, assistive devices and human–robot interaction. For someone who has lost the ability to control their limbs, for example, a BCI-based system could potentially provide another way to interact with the surrounding world. However, making this technology work reliably is not easy. Brain signals are weak, complex and affected by several sources of noise. Understanding how these signals are collected and interpreted is therefore the first step towards understanding BCI-controlled robotics. == Understanding the Human Brain Signals == Before looking at the engineering behind a BCI system, it is useful to understand where the signals actually come from. The human brain contains billions of neurons that communicate with each other through electrical and chemical processes. These communications allow us to perform activities such as moving our hands, recognising objects, processing information and responding to our surroundings. Whenever groups of neurons become active, they produce electrical activity. Although the activity of an individual neuron is very small, the combined activity of large populations of neurons can be measured using specialised instruments. [[File:Neural_Activity_in_the_Human_Brain.png|thumb|Artistic representation of electrical activity and neural connections in the human brain.]] One important characteristic of this electrical activity is that it changes depending on what the brain is doing. For example, brain activity associated with imagining a hand movement can differ from activity recorded when a person is resting. BCI technology takes advantage of these differences. It does not directly read a person's thoughts or understand everything happening inside their mind. Instead, it measures specific patterns of brain activity and uses computational methods to determine whether those patterns correspond to a particular task or intention. == Electroencephalography (EEG) == One of the most widely used methods for recording brain activity in non-invasive BCI systems is Electroencephalography, commonly known as EEG. EEG measures electrical potential differences from electrodes placed on the scalp. These electrodes detect signals produced mainly by the combined activity of large populations of neurons. An EEG recording system generally includes an electrode cap or headset, electrodes, signal amplification circuits and a computer that processes the recorded data. The signals collected by EEG are extremely small, usually in the microvolt range. Because of this, the recording system needs [[File:EEG-Based_Brain_Activity_Recording.png|thumb|A researcher wearing an EEG headset while monitoring brainwave recordings on a computer.]] suitable amplification and filtering to obtain useful measurements. EEG is popular in BCI research for a few important reasons. It does not require surgery, the equipment is available in different price ranges, and it can record changes in brain activity very quickly. However, EEG also has limitations. The electrodes record activity through the scalp and other tissues, which makes the signals relatively noisy. Eye movements, muscle contractions, poor electrode contact and electrical interference can all affect the recordings. Even with these limitations, EEG remains one of the most practical technologies for developing experimental BCI systems. == Types of Brain Signals Used in BCI == Not all BCI systems work in the same way. Some analyse brain activity associated with imagined movements, while others use the brain's response to visual stimuli. Three commonly studied approaches are motor imagery, event-related potentials and steady-state visual evoked potentials. === Motor Imagery === # Motor imagery is the process of mentally imagining a movement without actually performing it. # For example, a person may imagine moving their left hand or right hand while keeping their body still. Even though no physical movement takes place, activity in the brain's sensorimotor regions changes. # These changes can be measured using EEG. In particular, researchers often study changes in the mu and beta frequency bands, a phenomenon known as event-related desynchronisation and synchronisation (ERD/ERS). # A trained BCI algorithm can analyse these patterns and attempt to distinguish between different imagined movements. # In robotics, this approach can be used to develop systems in which imagined left-hand movement corresponds to one robotic command and imagined right-hand movement corresponds to another. # Motor imagery is especially interesting for rehabilitation research because it can be used even when a person cannot physically perform the movement being imagined. === Event-Related Potentials (ERP) === # Event-related potentials are changes in brain electrical activity that occur in response to particular events or stimuli. # One well-known example is the P300 response. It is a positive change in the EEG signal that commonly occurs around 300 milliseconds after a person detects a relevant stimulus, although the exact timing varies. # Consider a system displaying several possible commands. Each command is highlighted or presented at different intervals. When the user notices a particular target, the brain produces a response associated with recognising that stimulus.[[File:Brain_Signal_Patterns_in_BCI_Research.png|thumb|Different patterns of brain activity used by brain–computer interfaces, including motor imagery, event-related potentials (P300) and steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP).]] # By analysing these responses, the BCI system can identify which option the user is attending to. # This technique can be useful when designing interfaces that allow users to select commands for wheelchairs, robotic devices or computer systems. === Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) === # Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials are brain responses produced when a person looks at a visual stimulus that flickers at a particular frequency. # For example, imagine a screen containing four symbols, each flickering at a different frequency. When the user focuses on one symbol, the visual system produces electrical activity containing a response related to that flickering frequency. # The EEG system records this activity, and the BCI algorithm attempts to identify the selected symbol. # Compared with some motor imagery systems, SSVEP-based systems can provide a relatively straightforward way of selecting among several commands. However, they require visual stimulation and are not suitable for every user or application. == How Are Brain–Computer Interfaces Classified? == BCI systems can also be classified according to where and how their recording electrodes are positioned. === Non-Invasive BCI === # Non-invasive systems record brain activity without placing electrodes inside the skull. EEG is the most common example. # These systems are comparatively easy to set up and are suitable for many research and experimental applications. # Their main disadvantage is that the signals recorded at the scalp are relatively weak and can contain unwanted interference. They also provide less spatial detail than electrodes placed closer to or inside the brain. === Semi-Invasive BCI === # Semi-invasive systems use electrodes positioned inside the skull but outside the brain tissue. # Electrocorticography (ECoG) is an example. In this technique, electrodes are placed on the surface of the brain, beneath the skull.[[File:Classification_of_Brain–Computer_Interfaces.png|thumb|An overview of different brain–computer interface technologies based on how neural activity is recorded.]] # Since the electrodes are closer to the neural activity being recorded, ECoG can provide signals with better spatial resolution than scalp EEG. # However, placing these electrodes requires surgery, so the system involves medical risks and is not as simple to use as an external EEG headset. === Invasive BCI === # Invasive BCI systems use electrodes implanted directly into brain tissue. # These electrodes can record activity from individual neurons or small groups of neurons, depending on the technology being used. # Such systems are being investigated for applications that require detailed neural information, particularly in advanced assistive technology and robotic prosthetics. # The major challenges include surgical risks, long-term implant stability, signal quality over time and the complexity of maintaining an implanted system. # Each approach has its own advantages and limitations. The most suitable choice depends on the intended application, the level of control required and the medical considerations involved. == How Does a BCI Control a Robot? == Now that we understand how brain signals are generated and recorded, we can look at how those signals are converted into robotic movements. A BCI-controlled robot does not receive electrical signals from the brain and directly apply them to its motors. There are several stages between recording the brain activity and executing a movement. The process generally involves signal acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, classification, command generation and robotic execution. === Signal Acquisition === # The process begins with an EEG headset recording the user's brain activity. # Electrodes placed on the scalp detect electrical potential differences, and the EEG acquisition system amplifies and digitises the signals. # The resulting digital data is transferred to a computer for processing.[[File:Brain-Controlled_Robotic_System.png|thumb|A brain–computer interface system translating recorded EEG signals into commands that control a robotic arm.]] === Signal Preprocessing === # Raw EEG recordings are rarely suitable for direct classification. They may contain noise from eye movements, facial muscles, electrical equipment and changes in electrode contact. # Before attempting to identify the user's intention, the system must improve the quality of the recorded signals. # Common preprocessing methods include band-pass filtering, notch filtering and artifact removal. # For example, a notch filter may be used to reduce electrical interference at 50 Hz in many Indian laboratory environments. # The exact filtering parameters depend on the BCI paradigm and the characteristics of the recording equipment. === Feature Extraction === # After preprocessing, the system needs to identify useful information from the EEG signals. # This process is called feature extraction. # Rather than analysing every individual data point independently, the system calculates characteristics that may help distinguish between different brain activity patterns. # In motor imagery applications, researchers commonly examine the power of selected frequency bands and the distribution of activity across different EEG channels. # These extracted features form the input for the next stage. === Classification === # The extracted features are passed to a machine learning algorithm. # The classifier attempts to identify which previously defined activity pattern most closely matches the recorded signal. # For example, a motor imagery system may be trained to distinguish between imagined left-hand movement, imagined right-hand movement and a resting state. # Algorithms such as Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have been investigated for this purpose. # The output of the classifier is a predicted class or command, sometimes accompanied by a confidence score. === Command Generation === # Once the system identifies the intended command, the result is converted into a format that the robot's controller can understand. # For instance, the computer may generate a command indicating that the robot should move left, move right or remain stationary. # The command can then be transmitted through a communication interface such as USB, serial communication, Wi-Fi or another suitable protocol. === Robotic Execution === # The robot's controller receives the command and translates it into instructions for the motors or actuators. # In a robotic arm, this could involve calculating joint movements and sending the required signals to servo motors. # The robotic system may also use encoders, cameras and other sensors to monitor its position and movement. # This is an important distinction: the BCI generally provides information about the user's intended action, while the robot's own control system handles the detailed execution. === Feedback === # A useful BCI robotic system should not operate as a one-way communication channel. # The user needs to know whether the robot has received and performed the requested command. This can be achieved through visual displays, camera feeds or other feedback mechanisms. # The robot can also use sensor information to detect whether the intended movement was completed successfully. # This creates a feedback loop in which the user issues a command, the robot responds and the user observes the result. == Applications of BCI in Robotics == The connection between BCI and robotics is not limited to one particular type of machine. Researchers are exploring its use in several areas where conventional physical control methods may be difficult or unsuitable. === Robotic Arms === # Robotic arms are among the most widely investigated applications of BCI technology. # A BCI system can decode selected movement intentions and convert them into commands for a robotic arm. Depending on the system, these commands may be used for reaching, selecting targets or opening and closing a gripper. # For example, a user could select an object through a BCI interface while a camera identifies its position. The robot's motion-planning system would then calculate how to reach the object. # This combination of brain signal decoding and robotic intelligence is important because controlling every individual joint through EEG alone would be difficult. === Robotic Prosthetics === # For people who have lost a limb, robotic prosthetic devices can provide an alternative way to perform certain movements. # Researchers are investigating how neural signals can be used to control artificial limbs more naturally. # A BCI system may decode movement intentions and use them to operate a robotic hand or arm. More advanced research also explores sensory feedback, allowing information from the prosthetic device to be communicated back to the user through[[File:Brain–Computer_Interface_Research_Laboratory.png|thumb]] appropriate interfaces. # The long-term goal is to develop prosthetic systems that feel more intuitive and become easier to operate in everyday activities. === Brain-Controlled Wheelchairs === # Powered wheelchairs traditionally use joysticks or other physical controls. However, these controls may not be suitable for individuals with severe motor impairments. # BCI provides an alternative approach in which users can select directional or navigation commands through recognised brain activity. # For example, a system may allow a user to select forward, left, right or stop commands. # In a practical implementation, the wheelchair should also include independent obstacle detection, speed restrictions and emergency stopping mechanisms. Safety cannot depend entirely on the accuracy of the BCI classifier. === Mobile Robots === # BCI technology can also be integrated with mobile robots. # Instead of directly controlling the speed of every motor, a user may select a high-level command such as moving towards a target location. # The robot can then use its navigation system, cameras and distance sensors to determine how to reach the selected destination. # This approach combines human intention with autonomous robotic decision-making. === Humanoid Robots === # Humanoid robots are designed to perform tasks in environments built primarily for humans. Controlling these robots through BCI is an interesting area of research. # A BCI interface could be used to select actions, initiate movements or communicate high-level instructions. # However, humanoid robots have many degrees of freedom, making direct control through brain signals extremely challenging. # A more practical approach is to use BCI for selecting intentions while the robot's onboard controller manages balance, coordination and detailed movement. == Combining BCI with Artificial Intelligence == One of the most interesting possibilities is combining BCI with artificial intelligence and computer vision. Brain signals can provide information about what a user wants to achieve, but they do not necessarily provide all the information needed to complete a task. Consider a simple example involving a robotic arm. A person wants the robot to pick up a water bottle from a table. The BCI system identifies the user's selection or intention. A camera captures the surrounding environment, and a computer vision algorithm identifies the bottle. The robot then estimates the bottle's position and calculates a suitable movement path. Its controller operates the motors and adjusts the gripper to pick up the object. In this arrangement, each technology has a different responsibility: * BCI interprets selected user intentions. * Artificial intelligence assists with decision-making and signal interpretation. * Computer vision identifies objects and their positions. * Robotics performs the physical task. * Sensors monitor the robot and its surroundings. This division of work makes the system more practical than attempting to control every movement directly through brain activity. == Challenges in BCI-Controlled Robotics == Although researchers have demonstrated promising results, there are still several problems that need to be addressed. The first major challenge is signal quality. EEG signals are weak and can be affected by muscle activity, eye movements and environmental interference. Even small changes in electrode placement can affect the recorded data. Another problem is classification accuracy. The same person may produce slightly different EEG patterns across different sessions. A classifier that performs well during training may not always perform equally well during real-world operation. Training and calibration are also important. Many BCI systems require users to perform repeated tasks so that the system can learn the patterns associated with their intended commands. There is also the issue of control speed. Brain signals must be collected and processed before the system can generate a command. This introduces delays, which can make precise robotic control difficult. [[File:Challenges_in_Brain–Computer_Interface_Research.png|thumb|A researcher analysing EEG recordings and neural activity to investigate signal accuracy, processing limitations and challenges in BCI technology.]] Finally, there are important safety and privacy considerations. A robot should have independent mechanisms for stopping dangerous movements, and recorded neural data should be handled securely. These challenges explain why BCI-controlled robotics is still an active research area rather than a replacement for conventional robotic controllers. == Future Directions == The future of BCI in robotics will probably depend on how well different technologies can work together. Improvements in neural recording devices may make it easier to collect useful brain signals. Better signal-processing techniques and machine learning algorithms may improve the ability to recognise a user's intentions. Another important direction is hybrid BCI. Instead of depending entirely on EEG, a system could combine brain activity with eye tracking, electromyography or other input methods. Robotic autonomy will also play a major role. If a robot can identify objects, avoid obstacles and plan its own movements, the user will not need to provide every individual movement command. Researchers are also exploring more advanced prosthetic systems and ways to provide sensory feedback to users. Rather than expecting the human brain to control every motor directly, future systems may focus on understanding what the user wants to accomplish and allowing the robot to determine how to accomplish it. == Conclusion == Brain–Computer Interface technology offers a different way for humans to interact with machines. By recording and interpreting selected patterns of brain activity, it becomes possible to convert certain user intentions into commands for external devices. When this technology is combined with robotics, it creates opportunities in assistive technology, rehabilitation, prosthetics and human–robot interaction. However, there is still a considerable amount of engineering work involved. Recording brain signals is only the beginning. Those signals must be cleaned, analysed and interpreted before they can be converted into useful robotic commands. The most promising approach is likely to involve a combination of BCI, artificial intelligence, computer vision and autonomous robotic control. In such systems, the human provides the intention while the robot takes responsibility for carrying out the detailed movements. BCI-controlled robotics is still developing, but it represents an important step towards making interactions between humans and machines more natural. tnwqjkcqruaginra9zepqu5l52r3kft 4681415 4681406 2026-11-10T16:44:48Z Purandeeswar 3630620 /* Brain–Computer Interface in Robotics */ 4681415 wikitext text/x-wiki = Brain–Computer Interface in Robotics = == Introduction == For a long time, the primary way of controlling a robot has been through physical devices such as joysticks, remote controllers, keyboards and programmed instructions. These methods work well, but they all require some form of physical input from the user. What if a person could communicate with a robot without touching any of these devices? This is where Brain–Computer Interface (BCI) technology comes into the picture. [[File:Brain–Computer_Interface_in_Robotics.png|thumb|A person wearing an EEG headset interacting with a robotic arm in a modern robotics laboratory.]] A Brain–Computer Interface is a system that allows the brain to communicate with an external device through recorded brain activity. Instead of sending commands through a physical controller, the user produces particular patterns of brain activity, which are recorded and interpreted by a computer. The computer then converts the recognised patterns into commands that an external device can understand. The idea might sound like something from science fiction, but it is already being explored in laboratories around the world. Researchers have demonstrated systems in which people can use brain activity to select commands, move computer cursors and control certain robotic movements. The connection between BCI and robotics is particularly interesting because it brings two different fields together. Neuroscience helps us understand how the brain produces electrical activity, while robotics provides the machines and control systems that can respond to decoded commands. This technology could be useful in several areas, including robotic prosthetics, rehabilitation, assistive devices and human–robot interaction. For someone who has lost the ability to control their limbs, for example, a BCI-based system could potentially provide another way to interact with the surrounding world.

Those signals must be cleaned, analysed and interpreted before they can be converted into useful robotic commands. The most promising approach is likely to involve a combination of BCI, artificial intelligence, computer vision and autonomous robotic control. In such systems, the human provides the intention while the robot takes responsibility for carrying out the detailed movements. BCI-controlled robotics is still developing, but it represents an important step towards making interactions between humans and machines more natural. 1e8wmrto4gllttcohbpkox6dgx7rlog 2 487108 4681407 2026-11-10T16:24:44Z Jnvardhan 3629917 Created page with "= Understanding the Science Behind Everyday Communication Techologies = === Introduction === Communication has become an essential part of modern human life.

From making a simple telephone call, sending messages to accessing the internet, attending meetings just by sitting at home. Main part of the communication is transferring of information from one person to the other. Earlier to transfer information from one person to the other who is far is a hectic task which takes days but today, information can travel thousands of kilometers within seconds, connecting individuals, businesses, governments through the advanced interconnected communication systems. Modern communication technologies depend on the priniciple of analog and digital communication. Information such as human speech, images, videos and text are converted into signals, processed and transmitted through communication channels and recovered at the receiving end. These processes involve processes such as signal conversion, modulation, demodulation, sampling, encoding, multiplexing and electromagnetic wave transmission. Depending on the application, information may travel through different mediums like copper cables, optical fibers, radio waves and so on. Have you ever wondered what actually happens when you make a call? How it is possible to talk or transfer information to someone who lives in other city within seconds? How your voice travels through the mobile? How you can know the things from internet just by sitting at home? How you can hear sound through bluetooth without any physical connection? Although these activities appear simple from users point of view, behind these involve several complex elctronic and communication processes working together. This guide explains the working principles behind the communication technologies that we use in our daily lives. One can get the information about the communication concepts from the textbooks and other open sources but how the processes are actually used is explained in here.It begins with the working of mobile telephone systems, explaining how human speech is captured, converted into electrical and digital signals, transmitted through cellular networks and reconstructed at the receiving end. It then explores how internet connectivity reaches homes, how Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enable wireless communication, how video calls and online streaming operate, and how radio and television broadcasting distribute information to large audiences. The primary objective is to make communication engineering understandable to everyone, including readers who have little or no previous knowledge of electronics or communication systems. By connecting theoretical principles with familiar everyday experiences, this guide provides an opportunity to understand not only how modern communication technologies are used but also how they function internally to keep the world connected. === Communication System === A communication system ia an arrangement of several electronic devices and circuits that helps to transfer the information from one place to another in the form of electrical signals or electromagnetic waves. The information can be of any form like human voice, images, texts etc. the information can be transmitted by different mediums like cables, optical fibres, wireless channels. The communication involves several stages, starting with the generation of information to its recovery at the destination. Each stage performs a specific function, and all the stages work together to establish a successful communication. Block Diagram of Communication system Picture A general electronic communication system consists of the following functional blocks: # Source # Input transducer # Transmitter # Communication channel # Noise # Receiver # Output transducer # Destination The basic arrangement can be represented as follows: '''Information Source → Input Transducer → Transmitter → Communication Channel → Receiver → Output Transducer → Destination''' Noise may enter the system during signal transmission through the communication channel and may also affect other stages of the system.Each of these components performs an important function in the transmission and reception of information. '''Source''' The source is the orgin from which the information to be communicated is generated.This information can be in the form of speech, music, images, videos, text etc.the source may be human being, an electronic device, computer or a sensor. For example, When a person speaks during a telephone call, the spoken words act as the information. Similarly, microphone used in radio broadcasting or computer generating digital data can serve as an information source. The main function of this component is to produce the orginal message that will be processed and transmitted through the communication system. '''Input Transducer''' An input transducer is am electronic device that converts information from its orginal physical form into an electric signal so that it can be processed by the communication system. In many cases, the information available at source is not dirctly suitable for electronic transmission. For example, human speech exists in the form of sound waves, while images are available as light signals. An input transducer converts these physical forms into corresponding electric signals. A microphone is a common example because it converts sound vibrations into changing electrical voltages. The signal produced by an input transducer is generally known as the message signal or information signal, which may be analog or digital depending on the communication system. '''Trasmitter''' The transmitter is the section of communication system that prepares the information signal for sending through the communication channel. the signal produced by the input transducer may ne weak or unsuitable for direct transmission, So transmitter performs operation such as amplification, filtering, encoding, modulation and signal processing. In wireless communication, the transmitter generally converts the information into a suitable high-frequency signal and increases its power before supplying it to the transmitting antenna. The antenna then converts the electrical signal into electromagnetic waves that travel through space. In wired communication, The processed signal is supplied directly to a suitable cable or transmission medium. Therefore, the main purpose of the transmitter is to prepare the original information in a suitable form for reliable transmission. '''Communication channel''' The communication channel is the medium or path through which information travels from the transmitter to the receiver. It provides a connection between the sending and receiving ends and may be either wired or wireless, depending on the communication system. Wired channels include twisted pair cables, coaxial cables and optical fibers, which carry information through electrical or optical signals. Wireless channels use electromagnetic waves to transfer information through space without requiring a physical cable. Examples include mobile networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, radio broadcasting and satellite communication. During transmission, the signal may become weaker due to attenuation and may also be affected by noise and interference. The selection of a suitable communication channel depends on factors such as distance, bandwidth, data rate, cost and environmental conditions. '''Noise''' Noise refers to unwanted electrical or electromagnetic disturbances that affect the original signal during communication and may reduce the quality of the received information. It can be produced by natural sources, external electrical equipment or electronic components present within the communication system. Noise is mainly classified into external noise and internal noise. External noise includes atmospheric noise caused by lightning, Extraterrestrial noise coming from the Sun and other celestial sources, and man-made noise produced by electrical machines and industrial equipment. Internal noise is generated within electronic circuits and includes thermal noise, shot noise, flicker noise and transit-time noise. The effect of noise can be measured using the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), which compares the desired signal power with the unwanted noise power. A higher SNR generally indicates better communication quality, While a lower SNR indicates greater noise interference. '''Receiver''' The receiver is the section of a communication system that accepts the transmitted signal from the communication channel and recovers the original information. During transmission, the signal may become weak or distorted due to noise, interference and attenuation. Therefore, The receiver performs operations such as signal reception, amplification, filtering, demodulation and decoding to obtain the required information. In wireless communication, receiving antenna captures electromagnetic waves and converts them into electrical signals, While in wired communication, the signal is obtained through the connected transmission medium. The receiver then selects the desired signal, increases its strength and removes unwanted components as far as possible. Finally, it extracts the original message and supplies it to the output transducer for further conversion. '''Outer Transducer''' An output transducer is a device that converts the recovered electrical signal into a physical form that can be understood or used by the receiving person or device. It performs the reverse function of an input transducer by converting electrical information into sound, light, images or printed output. For example, Loudspeaker converts electrical audio signals into sound waves, allowing a person to hear the received voice or music. Similarly, display screen converts electrical signals into visible images and text, while a printer produces printed copies of digital information. In a telephone system, the speaker acts as the output transducer, Whereas in a television system, the display and loudspeakers reproduce the received picture and sound. Thus, the output transducer makes the recovered information available in a useful form. '''Destination''' The destination is the final point of an electronic communication system where the transmitted information is received, understood or used for a particular purpose. It may be a human being, computer, smartphone, television, industrial controller or any other electronic device capable of receiving information. For example, during a telephone conversation, the person listening to the received voice is the destination, while in a file-sharing system, the receiving computer or smartphone acts as the destination. Similarly, In an industrial monitoring system, a control unit may receive information from sensors and use it to perform specific operations. The destination represents the endpoint of the communication process, where the information sent by the source finally becomes available to the intended user or device. == Applications of Communication Systems and Their Working == === Mobile Phone Communication === Mobile phones are widely used for voice calls, messaging, video calls and Internet access.

Video is represented as a sequence of frames. * Compression and multiplexing: The audio and video data are compressed to reduce the required bandwidth. They are then combined into a digital transport stream using multiplexing. * Modulation and transmission: The digital information is modulated onto a radio-frequency carrier. The transmitting antenna radiates the signal through electromagnetic waves. * Signal reception: The television antenna receives the signal. The tuner selects the required channel, and the receiver performs demodulation and decoding. * Picture and sound reproduction: The television separates the audio and video information. The video decoder reconstructs the images for display, while the audio decoder processes the sound for the speakers. Communication concepts involved: Transducers, digital encoding, video compression, multiplexing, modulation, antennas, demodulation and decoding. 2fhhlvlce7u696xw95dn3of6tqq2zbt 2 487109 4681410 2026-11-10T16:29:09Z Rohitha Kunuku 3630372 Created page with "== '''ROS2 FOR ROBOTICS''' == ''Robotics Operating System 2: setup, workspaces, nodes and communication'' === Introduction:- === ROS2 started around 2015, to update ROS1 which started in 2007.

It was built by "OPEN ROBOTICS" along with the Global Engineer Community and major tech companies like AMAZON, MICROSOFT. Ros2 is not an operating system like Windows or Linux, it acts as a communication layer and toolkit which runs on an operating system such as Linux. It's an open-source that include set of software libraries, middleware framework, that built to help developers to create a robot application. For example, an Autonomous Mobile Robot like warehouse delivery robot <big>How ROS2 is used in the above Example:</big> Instead of one program, the robot divides tasks into specialized software modules called "NODES" # LIDAR/Camera node: Reads laser scans and images to spot people and obstacles in the path. # Localisation Node: uses data from sensors and wheel encoders to know the location of the robot on a map. # Nav2 (Navigation stack): detects a safe path around obstacles to reach a target destination. # Motor Controller Node: Translates path commands into electrical signals for the wheels. DDS( Data Distribution Service): Real-Time Communication, ROS2 uses DDS to let these nodes talk to each other instantly via TOPICS ( for continuous , unidirectional data streams like /<small>scan</small> or /<small>cmd_vel)</small> and ACTIONS( for long running, complex tasks like driving to a room X). === Simulators for begginers:- === <big>Turtlesim:</big> A ROS2 Node where you command a turtle to move using keys in the keyboard. <big>Gazebo / NVIDIA Isaac Sim:</big> 3D physics simulators used to test navigation and computer vision algorithms before deploying code to a real robot. ROS1 is officially reached its End-Of-Life in May 2025 and ROS2 is being used for robotics and autonomous systems development. === The main differences between ROS2 and ROS1 are:- === • There's no central master. In ROS1 every node was dependent on a single master process. In ROS2 you have a discovery mechanism based on DDS (Data Distribution Service) so nodes will discover each other. • Better support for real time and multi-robot systems. You can set Qos parameters to specify how reliable or how fast a data stream should be. • More platforms. ROS2 is available on Linux, Windows and macOS (of course Ubuntu is by far the most popular for people getting into it). • Still actively being developed. ROS1 has hit end of life so all new work will be on ROS2. ROS2 is released as named distributions. The two LTS releases that are most commonly used in teaching are Humble Hawksbill (Ubuntu 22.04) and Jazzy Jalisco (Ubuntu 24.04). The commands in this chapter will work on either of them; you just need to substitute <distro> with the name of the distribution you actually have installed (e.g. humble or jazzy). === Linux and Programming Foundations:- === The vast majority of ROS2 work is done in the terminal so it's worth knowing a few Linux commands before you get going. <big>Command What it does</big> 1. pwd Shows the folder you are currently in 2. ls Lists files in the current folder 3. cd folder_name Moves into a folder (cd .. goes up one level) 4. mkdir -p path/to/folder Creates a folder, including missing parent folders 5. source file Runs a script in the current terminal, used to load ROS2 settings 6. nano file Opens a simple text editor in the terminal 7. echo $ROS_DISTRO Prints the ROS2 distribution loaded in this terminal The vast majority of ROS2 code is in Python or C++. This chapter makes use of Python with the rclpy library as the syntax is far shorter and far more convenient for a first project. You should be familiar with functions, classes and imports prior to going any further. === Installation and Environment Setup:- === Install ROS2 by following the instructions as per the ROS documentation (docs.ros.org). After installation, every new terminal must load the ROS2 environment: <big>source /opt/ros/<distro>/setup.bash</big> Instead of typing command to load the ROS2 environment , just paste the above command at the end of the ~/.bashrc file. To check if installation is done, open two terminals and load the environment and run these commands: <nowiki>#</nowiki> Terminal 1 - ros2 run demo_nodes_cpp talker <nowiki/># Terminal 2 - ros2 run demo_nodes_cpp listener If the listener prints out the messages that the talker has sent then ROS2 is working. === Workspaces and Packages:- === Workspace is used to store and build ROS2 code and project on your own. Package is within workspace. It's a folder containing the code, a description file and the build instructions. <big>Creating a workspace and a package</big> mkdir -p ~/ros2_ws/src cd ~/ros2_ws/src ros2 pkg create --build-type ament_python my_first_pkg ( this create a package called my_first_pkg) <big>It's main parts are:</big> • package.xml: the package name, version, author and dependencies • setup.py: tells the build system which files to install and which scripts can be run • my_first_pkg/: the folder where your Python source files go === Building and sourcing:- === Building is done from the workspace root with colcon: cd ~/ros2_ws colcon build source install/setup.bash The second command is the one you very easily forget. Without it the terminal has no idea that your new package now exists. === Nodes:- === Node is a single program that does one specific task (e.g. reading a sensor or driving a motor) Having the individual tasks separated makes the robot a lot easier to test as you can just restart the camera node without having to touch the motor node. While nodes are running, these commands let you inspect them: ros2 node list ros2 node info /node_name === Topics: Publishers and Subscribers:- === A topic is a named channel for continuous data. One node publishes to the topic and any number of nodes can subscribe to it. The publisher has no idea who is actually listening. Here's a tiny publisher that fires a counter once per second. Save it as my_first_pkg/publisher_node.py: import rclpy from rclpy.node import Node from std_msgs.msg import String class StatusPublisher(Node): def __init__(self): super().__init__('status_publisher') self.pub = self.create_publisher(String, 'sensor_status', 10) self.timer = self.create_timer(1.0, self.send_message) self.count = 0 def send_message(self): msg = String() msg.data = f'reading number {self.'count}' self.pub.publish(msg) self.get_logger().info(f'Sent: {msg.data}') self.count +=1 def main(args=None): rclpy.init(args=args) node = StatusPublisher() rclpy.spin(node) node.destroy_node() rclpy.shutdown() if __name__ == '__main__': main() <big>The matching subscriber goes in my_first_pkg/subscriber_node.py:</big> import rclpy from rclpy.node import Node from std_msgs.msg import String class StatusSubscriber(Node): def __init__(self): super().__init__('status_subscriber') self.sub = self.create_subscription( String, 'sensor_status', self.on_message, 10) def on_message(self,msg): self.get_logger().info(f'Received: {msg.data}') def main(args=None): rclpy.init(args=args) node = StatusSubscriber() rclpy.spin(node) node.destroy_node() rclpy.shutdown() if __name__ =='__main__': main() Both nodes have to use the same topic name (sensor_status) and the same message type (String) otherwise they won't connect. Open setup.py and add the two scripts to entry_points: entry_points={ 'console_scripts': [ 'status_pub = my_first_pkg.publisher_node:main', 'status_sub = my_first_pkg.subscriber_node:main', ], }, Rebuild, source, and run each node in its own terminal: cd ~/ros2_ws colcon build --packages-select my_first_pkg source install/setup.bash ros2 run my_first_pkg status_pub # terminal 1 ros2 run my_first_pkg status_sub # terminal 2 <big>Useful topic tools</big> ros2 topic list # all active topics ros2 topic echo /sensor_status # print messages as they arrive ros2 topic info /sensor_status # message type and number of publishers/subscribers rqt_graph # draw the nodes and topics as a diagram === Services and Actions:- === Topics are great for a stream of data but there are times when a node is going to want to ask a question or do something. ROS2 provides two further patterns to deal with that. Pattern, Style, Typical use, Topic, One-way, continuous stream, Sensor readings, robot position Service <big>service:</big> The demo packages contain a very simple service which simply adds two integers. Start the server in one terminal: ros2 run demo_nodes_cpp add_two_ints_server Then call it from another: ros2 service list ros2 service call /add_two_ints example_interfaces/srv/AddTwoInts "{a: 2, b: 3}" The reply should contain a sum of 5. There's a service call pending so it's ideal for a quick request. <big>Actions</big>: An action is for things that take time. The client puts in a goal, gets feedback on progress as the action is running and then gets the result. It can also be cancelled at any point during the execution. You can see the active actions in a running system with: ros2 action list === Common Mistakes:- === 1. Forgetting to source. If ros2 run says it can't find the package the most likely explanation is that you haven't run 'source install/setup.bash' in that terminal. 2. Forgetting to rebuild. Any changes to setup.py or a C++ file will require a new colcon build. 3. Mismatched topic names/types. A publisher and subscriber that should be perfectly in sync will often be silent simply because of a one character difference in the topic name. 4. Different ROS domain IDs. the Nodes can communicate with another nodes, if they have the same ROS_DOMAIN_ID. === Summary:- === ROS2 divides the robot's software into small nodes, which communicate with each other via Topics, Services, Actions. A workspace is where your packages reside and colcon build is what builds them. You source the setup file to make the packages available in the terminal. Once you've got the publisher/subscriber pattern sorted, pretty much everything else in ROS2 (sensors, navigation, simulation etc) is built on that same principle. === References:- === • The official ROS2 documentation at docs.ros.org, especially the Beginner tutorials • The rclpy API reference for Python • The ROS2 design documents at design.ros2.org for background on DDs and Quality Of Service nss9u0o6w41sxdm9m5s6bov72kkvk4i 4681472 4681410 2026-11-10T18:28:56Z Rohitha Kunuku 3630372 4681472 wikitext text/x-wiki = '''ROS2 FOR ROBOTICS''' = ''Robotics Operating System 2: setup, workspaces, nodes and communication'' == Introduction == ROS2 started around 2015, to update ROS1 which started in 2007.

This chapter covers the problem that led to the first chips, the people and ideas behind them, the technologies that replaced one another, and the limits engineers face today. __TOC__ == Introduction == An '''integrated circuit''' (IC), also called a ''chip'' or ''microchip'', is an electronic circuit built on a single piece of semiconductor, usually silicon. The transistors, resistors, capacitors and the wiring between them are made together, not soldered one by one. Phones, cars, medical scanners, satellites and internet servers all depend on this idea. This chapter explains: * '''Why''' ICs were invented * '''How''' they changed over about six decades * '''What''' is now slowing that progress down [[File:PLACEHOLDER_IC_die.jpg|thumb|right|300px|A silicon die seen under a microscope. (Replace with a freely licensed Commons image.)]] == Background: life before the IC == === Vacuum tubes === Early computers such as ENIAC (1945) used thousands of vacuum tubes. Tubes were bulky, hot, power-hungry and failed often, so a large machine could spend much of its time being repaired. === The transistor === In 1947, John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley at Bell Labs demonstrated the transistor, a solid-state replacement for the tube.<ref name="crystalfire">{{cite book |last1=Riordan |first1=Michael |last2=Hoddeson |first2=Lillian |title=Crystal Fire: The Invention of the Transistor and the Birth of the Information Age |publisher=W. W. Norton |year=1997 |isbn=978-0-393-31851-7}}</ref> It was smaller, cooler and more reliable. But every circuit still had to be assembled from separate parts. === The "tyranny of numbers" === As circuits grew, the number of soldered joints grew even faster. Each joint could fail, and each wire added delay and cost. Engineers called this the '''tyranny of numbers'''.<ref name="crystalfire" /> The way out was to make the whole circuit as one piece. === Comparison: tubes, discrete transistors and ICs === {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" |+ Three generations of electronic building blocks !

A working demonstration took place on 12 September 1958.<ref name="kilby">{{cite web |title=The Chip that Jack Built |url=https://www.ti.com/corporate-citizenship/history/the-chip-that-jack-built.html |publisher=Texas Instruments |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> He shared the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics for this work.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Nobel Prize in Physics 2000 |url=https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2000/summary/ |publisher=Nobel Foundation |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> === Robert Noyce and the planar process === In early 1959, Robert Noyce at Fairchild Semiconductor described a silicon IC whose connections were metal lines laid over an insulating oxide layer, so no hand wiring was needed. This relied on the '''planar process''' of his colleague Jean Hoerni, which protected the silicon surface under a layer of oxide.<ref name="crystalfire" /> Noyce's approach is the ancestor of modern chip manufacturing. === Kilby and Noyce compared === {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" |+ Two routes to the same idea !

They were costly at first, and the early large buyers were the US military and NASA. The Apollo Guidance Computer, used on the Moon missions, was built from ICs, and this demand helped bring prices down.<ref>{{cite book |last=Mindell |first=David A. |title=Digital Apollo: Human and Machine in Spaceflight |publisher=MIT Press |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-262-13497-2}}</ref> == Types of integrated circuits == {| class="wikitable" |+ Main categories of ICs !

'''MOS''' (metal–oxide–semiconductor) transistors were easier to pack densely. '''CMOS''' pairs two complementary kinds of MOS transistor so that a circuit draws significant power mainly when it switches. Frank Wanlass patented the CMOS circuit in 1963, and CMOS became the dominant logic technology as chips grew more complex.<ref>{{cite web |title=1963: Complementary MOS Circuit Configuration is Invented |url=https://www.computerhistory.org/siliconengine/ |publisher=Computer History Museum |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> {| class="wikitable" |+ Comparison of transistor technologies !

CMOS |- | Speed || Very fast || Fast || Fast |- | Power use || High || Medium || Low (mainly when switching) |- | Packing density || Low || High || High |- | Typical role today || Special analog and high-speed uses || Mostly replaced || Standard for digital logic |} === Memory chips === Memory followed its own path. DRAM, which stores each bit as charge in a capacitor, was invented by Robert Dennard at IBM in 1967, and Intel's 1103 chip (1970) was an early commercial success. Flash memory, developed by Fujio Masuoka at Toshiba in the 1980s, made small, durable storage possible in cameras, phones and later solid-state drives.<ref>{{cite web |title=Memory and Storage Timeline |url=https://www.computerhistory.org/timelines/ |publisher=Computer History Museum |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> == Moore's law == In 1965 Gordon Moore, then at Fairchild, noted that the number of components that could be placed economically on a chip had been doubling roughly every year, and expected this to continue for some time.<ref name="moore1965">{{cite journal |last=Moore |first=Gordon E. |title=Cramming more components onto integrated circuits |journal=Electronics |volume=38 |issue=8 |date=19 April 1965 |pages=114–117}}</ref> In 1975 he adjusted the pace to about every two years.<ref>{{cite conference |last=Moore |first=Gordon E. |title=Progress in digital integrated electronics |conference=IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting |year=1975 |pages=11–13}}</ref> Moore's law is not a law of physics.

This chapter covers the problem that led to the first chips, the people and ideas behind them, the technologies that replaced one another, and the limits engineers face today. __TOC__ == Introduction == An '''integrated circuit''' (IC), also called a ''chip'' or ''microchip'', is an electronic circuit built on a single piece of semiconductor, usually silicon. The transistors, resistors, capacitors and the wiring between them are made together, not soldered one by one. Phones, cars, medical scanners, satellites and internet servers all depend on this idea. This chapter explains: * '''Why''' ICs were invented * '''How''' they changed over about six decades * '''What''' is now slowing that progress down == Background: life before the IC == === Vacuum tubes === Early computers such as ENIAC (1945) used thousands of vacuum tubes. Tubes were bulky, hot, power-hungry and failed often, so a large machine could spend much of its time being repaired. === The transistor === In 1947, John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley at Bell Labs demonstrated the transistor, a solid-state replacement for the tube.<ref name="crystalfire">{{cite book |last1=Riordan |first1=Michael |last2=Hoddeson |first2=Lillian |title=Crystal Fire: The Invention of the Transistor and the Birth of the Information Age |publisher=W.

This chapter covers the problem that led to the first chips, the people and ideas behind them, the technologies that replaced one another, and the limits engineers face today. __TOC__ == Introduction == An '''integrated circuit''' (IC), also called a ''chip'' or ''microchip'', is an electronic circuit built on a single piece of semiconductor, usually silicon. The transistors, resistors, capacitors and the wiring between them are made together, not soldered one by one. Phones, cars, medical scanners, satellites and internet servers all depend on this idea. This chapter explains: * '''Why''' ICs were invented * '''How''' they changed over about six decades * '''What''' is now slowing that progress down == Background: life before the IC == === Vacuum tubes === Early computers such as ENIAC (1945) used thousands of vacuum tubes. Tubes were bulky, hot, power-hungry and failed often, so a large machine could spend much of its time being repaired. === The transistor === In 1947, John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley at Bell Labs demonstrated the transistor, a solid-state replacement for the tube.<ref name="crystalfire">{{cite book |last1=Riordan |first1=Michael |last2=Hoddeson |first2=Lillian |title=Crystal Fire: The Invention of the Transistor and the Birth of the Information Age |publisher=W.

The size of the smallest features depends heavily on the wavelength of light used. The move to '''extreme ultraviolet (EUV)''' lithography at 13.5 nm was a major engineering effort and is used for the finest layers today.<ref>{{cite web |title=EUV lithography |url=https://www.asml.com |publisher=ASML |access-date=2026-11-10}}</ref> [[File:Silicon Wafer Fabrication Process.jpg|thumb|Illustration of silicon wafer fabrication and semiconductor die separation.]] == Modern challenges == * '''Heat''' – billions of switches in a small area make power density a central problem. * '''Leakage and quantum effects''' – at a few nanometres, electrons pass through barriers that should block them. * '''Cost''' – a leading-edge fab costs billions of dollars, so very few companies can build one. * '''Supply chain''' – advanced manufacturing is concentrated in a few regions, which became a global concern in the early 2020s.

Introduction and Evolution of Defence Robotics Defence robotics is an important area of modern engineering. It involves the use of robotic machines for military activities such as surveillance, bomb disposal, transportation and inspection of dangerous locations. Earlier most military robots were remotely operated and had limited capabilities. With improvements in sensors, electronics, and computing the modern robots can now perform several tasks with minimal human intervention. The main purpose of using robots in defence field is to reduce risks to soldiers and improve the ability to work in difficult environments. Today robotics is becoming an important part of military research and technological development. 2. Military Robotic Platforms and Their Applications Different robotic platforms are developed for different military applications. Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) are used for ground inspection, transportation and explosive disposal. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) commonly known as drones are used for aerial observation and reconnaissance. Other platforms include underwater robots used for marine inspection and specialised EOD robots designed to handle explosive hazards. For example, DRDO's Daksh is a remotely operated robotic vehicle developed for bomb disposal and hazardous material handling. 3. Sensors, Perception and Navigation Systems Sensors help defence robots collect information about their surroundings. RGB cameras provided normal images thermal cameras detect heat differences and LiDAR measures distances using laser pulses, radar uses electromagnetic waves to detect objects. Navigation is an another important part of robotic systems. GPS can provide location information, but satellite signals may not always be available. In such situations, robots can use IMU wheel odometry and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) to estimate their position and create maps of their surroundings. 4. Mechanical Design and Power Systems The mechanical design of a defence robot depends on the application and operating environment. Wheeled robots are suitable for roads and hard surfaces and tracked robots provide better movement on mud and loose soil, while legged robots can handle certain uneven surfaces. Electric motors and actuators control the movement of these machines. Most mobile robots use rechargeable batteries, especially lithium-poly batteries. A Battery Management System (BMS) monitors battery conditions and helps prevent problems such as overcharging and overheating. 5. Military Communication and Cybersecurity Communication systems allow military robots to exchange information between their operators and other connected devices. Wireless communication is commonly used to transmit camera footage, sensor data and control commands. Technologies such as Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) and mesh networking can help to improve communication in certain difficult condition. Cybersecurity is also important because unauthorised access or manipulated commands can affect robotic operations. Encryption, authentication and secure software are  methods used to protect these type of systems. 6. Autonomous Systems, AI and Human Control Artificial Intelligence (AI) helps robotic systems process information, recognise objects and perform selected tasks automatically. Computer vision and machine learning are examples of technologies used in modern robotics. However, human supervision remains important in defence applications. There are three commonly discussed control models: - Human-in-the-Loop (HITL): A human must approve specified actions. - Human-on-the-Loop (HOTL): The robot performs selected tasks automatically while a human supervises it. - Human-out-of-the-Loop (HOOTL): The system performs the relevant action without human intervention at their decision stage. These models raise important questions about safety, responsibility and the proper use of autonomous military technologies.   7. Counter-Drone Technology and Future of Defence Robotics Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) are designed to detect identify and respond to unauthorised drones. These systems may use radar, cameras and other sensors to monitor aerial objects. Counter-drone methods are generally classified as soft-kill and hard-kill. Soft-kill methods attempt to disrupt a drone's operation, while hard-kill methods involve physically stopping the aerial platform. In India, organisations exist such as DRDO are working on different defence robotics technologies. Future developments may include advanced surveillance robots, autonomous ground vehicles, underwater systems and improved human-robot collaboration. Conclusion Defence robotics is becoming an important part of modern military technology. Robots are now being used for surveillance, bomb disposal, transportation and other dangerous tasks. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced sensors and autonomous navigation are making these systems more capable. In the future, defence robotics may play an even greater role in improving safety, efficiency and the technological strength of defence forces. fl9zomh92zwjk47vobbycfdhfyhoee8 2 487112 4681427 2026-11-10T17:11:44Z AdityaEngineer 3630627 Created page with " = Robotic Arm = A '''robotic arm''' is a type of mechanical device designed to perform movements similar to those of a human arm.

It consists of interconnected links and joints that allow it to move objects, operate tools, and perform specific tasks. Robotic arms are used in manufacturing, medicine, scientific research, agriculture, and space exploration. A robotic arm generally operates through a combination of mechanical components, electronic circuits, sensors, and computer-controlled instructions. Depending on its design and purpose, it may perform simple repetitive movements or more complex operations that require accuracy and coordination. == Structure and Components == A robotic arm consists of several components that work together to produce controlled movement. * '''Base:''' The supporting structure of the robotic arm. It may be fixed to a surface or attached to a movable platform. * '''Links:''' Rigid sections that connect the joints and form the physical structure of the arm. * '''Joints:''' Mechanical connections that allow rotational or linear movement between links. * '''Actuators:''' Devices that generate movement. Electric motors, hydraulic systems, and pneumatic systems are commonly used as actuators. * '''End-effector:''' The component attached to the end of the arm that interacts with objects. It may consist of a gripper, suction device, welding tool, or specialised instrument. * '''Controller:''' The electronic or computer-based unit responsible for processing instructions and controlling the movement of the arm. * '''Sensors:''' Devices that provide information about position, force, distance, and surrounding objects. The arrangement and type of these components depend on the intended application of the robotic arm. == Working Principle == A robotic arm operates by receiving instructions from a control system. The controller processes these instructions and sends signals to the actuators, which produce movement at the joints. The movement of the arm is coordinated to position the end-effector at a required location. For example, during a pick-and-place operation, the robotic arm approaches an object, positions its gripper, holds the object, moves it to another location, and releases it. Some robotic arms operate according to pre-programmed instructions, whereas more advanced systems use sensors and machine vision to respond to changes in their surroundings. == Degrees of Freedom == The movement capability of a robotic arm is described by its '''degrees of freedom (DOF)'''. A degree of freedom represents an independent movement that can be performed by a mechanical system. Robotic arms may have different numbers of degrees of freedom depending on their construction. A six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm can generally control the position and orientation of its end-effector in three-dimensional space. Additional degrees of freedom can provide greater flexibility and allow the arm to reach objects from different directions or operate in restricted spaces. == Applications == Robotic arms are used in several fields, including: * '''Industrial manufacturing:''' Used for welding, painting, assembly, material handling, and packaging. * '''Medical applications:''' Used in specialised robotic surgical systems and medical research equipment. * '''Space exploration:''' Used to manipulate equipment, collect samples, and assist with spacecraft operations. * '''Agriculture:''' Used in automated harvesting, sorting, and handling of agricultural products. * '''Scientific research:''' Used in laboratories for repetitive experiments and controlled material handling. One example of a robotic arm used in space exploration is the instrument arm of NASA's Perseverance rover. It is equipped with scientific instruments that allow the rover to examine rock and soil samples on the surface of Mars. == Control and Automation == The operation of a robotic arm depends on the coordination of its mechanical and electronic systems. Its controller determines the required movement based on programmed instructions or sensor information. Some robotic arms use '''open-loop control''', in which movements are performed according to predefined commands. Others use '''closed-loop control''', in which sensor feedback is used to compare the actual movement with the desired movement. Machine vision and artificial intelligence can also be integrated into robotic arm systems. These technologies can assist with object recognition, position estimation, and movement planning. == Design Challenges == The design and operation of robotic arms involve several engineering challenges: * '''Accuracy:''' Maintaining the required position during movement. * '''Payload capacity:''' Supporting and manipulating objects within the specified weight limit. * '''Stability:''' Reducing unwanted vibrations and mechanical disturbances. * '''Energy efficiency:''' Minimising power consumption during operation. * '''Safety:''' Preventing collisions and unexpected movements. * '''Coordination:''' Synchronising multiple joints to achieve smooth movement. The selection of mechanical components, actuators, sensors, and control methods depends on the requirements of the application. == Future Developments == Developments in artificial intelligence, machine vision, sensor technology, and control engineering are expanding the capabilities of robotic arms. Modern research focuses on improving their adaptability, precision, and ability to interact safely with humans. Collaborative robotic arms, commonly known as '''cobots''', are designed to operate in shared workspaces with human workers under appropriate safety conditions. Other developments include lightweight robotic structures, improved gripping mechanisms, and autonomous manipulation systems. These technologies may increase the use of robotic arms in healthcare, domestic environments, scientific research, and space exploration. == References == # Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

It combines mechanical structures, electronic components, sensors, and control systems to produce movements that assist a person in performing everyday activities. Unlike a traditional artificial limb, some bionic arms use electrical signals generated by the remaining muscles to control their movements. Bionic arms are developed using principles from biomedical engineering, robotics, electronics, and human physiology. Their main purpose is to improve the ability of individuals with upper-limb loss to perform activities such as holding objects, lifting items, and carrying out routine tasks. == Development of Bionic Arms == The development of artificial arms began with simple mechanical devices that provided basic support and movement. Early designs mainly used straps, cables, springs, and mechanical joints. Although these devices helped users perform certain activities, their movements were limited. Advances in electronics and biomedical engineering led to the development of externally powered artificial limbs. These devices introduced electric motors and electrical control systems, allowing more controlled movements. Modern bionic arms can use muscle signals, pressure sensors, and computer-based control systems. Some advanced designs also investigate ways to provide sensory feedback, allowing users to receive information about the objects they are holding. == Main Components == A bionic arm consists of several components that work together to produce controlled movement. * '''Mechanical frame:''' Provides the physical structure and supports the different parts of the artificial arm. * '''Electric motors:''' Generate the movement required to operate the fingers, wrist, and other joints. * '''Electrodes:''' Detect electrical activity produced by muscles, particularly in myoelectric systems. * '''Sensors:''' Collect information such as pressure, position, and movement. * '''Microcontroller:''' Processes signals and converts control instructions into commands for the motors. * '''Battery:''' Supplies electrical power to the electronic and mechanical systems. * '''Artificial hand:''' Performs gripping and object-handling activities using mechanically controlled fingers. The number and arrangement of these components depend on the design and capabilities of the device. == Working Principle == Many modern bionic arms use a method called '''myoelectric control'''. This method detects electrical activity produced when a person contracts the remaining muscles in the residual limb. The process generally involves the following steps: # The user contracts a particular muscle. # Electrodes placed against the skin detect the electrical activity generated by the muscle. # The electronic controller receives and processes the detected signals. # The controller identifies the intended movement based on the signal pattern. # Electric motors receive commands and move the artificial joints or fingers. For example, a user may contract specific muscles to open or close the artificial hand. More advanced control systems can recognise different muscle patterns to operate several movements. Not all bionic arms use the same control method. Some use mechanical switches, while others use pattern-recognition systems or experimental neural interfaces. == Types of Bionic Arms == Bionic arms can be classified according to their control mechanisms and physical design. === Myoelectric Arms === Myoelectric arms use electrical signals produced by muscles to control artificial limb movements. Electrodes detect muscle activity and send information to a controller. These devices are commonly used in externally powered prosthetic systems. === Body-Powered Arms === Body-powered artificial arms use movements of the remaining body parts, such as the shoulder, to operate mechanical cables. They do not depend on electric motors for their primary movement. Although they are not generally considered fully bionic systems, they represent an important type of functional upper-limb prosthesis. === Multi-Articulating Arms === Multi-articulating bionic hands contain several independently controlled or coordinated finger mechanisms. They can perform different gripping patterns to hold objects of different shapes and sizes. === Neural-Controlled Arms === Neural-controlled prosthetic systems investigate the use of signals from nerves or the nervous system to control artificial limbs. These systems are an advanced area of biomedical research and may provide more direct communication between a person's nervous system and an artificial device. == Role of Sensors and Artificial Intelligence == Sensors play an important role in improving the performance of bionic arms. They can measure the position of joints, detect contact with objects, and monitor the force applied during gripping. Artificial intelligence and pattern-recognition algorithms can help identify the intended movement from muscle signals. Instead of requiring a separate switch for every action, some systems can learn to recognise different patterns of muscle activity. For example, a bionic hand may use sensor information to adjust its grip when holding an object. This can help reduce the possibility of dropping or damaging the object. However, the performance of these systems depends on sensor quality, signal processing, calibration, and the user's ability to control the device. == Sensory Feedback == One of the major differences between a natural human hand and many conventional bionic hands is the availability of touch sensation. A natural hand contains sensory receptors that provide information about pressure, temperature, and contact. Most conventional prosthetic hands do not reproduce this natural sensory experience. Researchers are developing systems that use pressure sensors and electrical stimulation to provide feedback to the user. Such systems may communicate information about the strength of a grip or contact with an object. Sensory feedback is an important research area because it may help users control artificial limbs more naturally. == Applications == Bionic arms are mainly developed to assist people with upper-limb loss. Their applications include: * '''Daily activities:''' Holding cups, carrying lightweight objects, and handling household items. * '''Workplace activities:''' Supporting selected tasks that require gripping, positioning, or object manipulation. * '''Rehabilitation:''' Helping individuals practise controlled movements and adapt to the use of an artificial limb. * '''Research and medicine:''' Providing a platform for studying human-machine interaction, muscle signals, and neural control. * '''Assistive technology:''' Improving independence in activities that may otherwise require additional assistance. The suitability of a bionic arm depends on the individual's physical condition, residual limb, requirements, and the capabilities of the selected device. == Challenges and Limitations == Despite improvements in technology, bionic arms still face several challenges. * '''High cost:''' Advanced prosthetic systems can be expensive to manufacture, purchase, and maintain. * '''Battery limitations:''' Motorised movements and electronic systems require regular charging. * '''Weight:''' Additional motors, batteries, and electronic components can make the device heavy. * '''Control difficulties:''' Some users require training to operate multiple movements accurately. * '''Maintenance:''' Mechanical parts, sensors, and electrical connections may require repair or replacement. * '''Sensory limitations:''' Reproducing the natural feeling of touch remains a difficult engineering problem. * '''Individual adaptation:''' A design that works well for one person may not provide the same results for another. These limitations show that the development of a bionic arm requires consideration of both engineering performance and human comfort. == Future of Bionic Arms == Future bionic arm research is focused on making artificial limbs lighter, more responsive, and easier to control. Developments in neural interfaces may allow artificial limbs to receive more detailed movement commands directly from the nervous system. Another important area is sensory restoration. Researchers are investigating ways to transmit information from artificial sensors back to the user's nervous system, potentially allowing more natural control and a better understanding of object contact. Advances in artificial intelligence may also allow bionic arms to recognise common gripping tasks and adjust their movements according to the object being handled. The long-term objective is to develop artificial limbs that work more closely with the human body rather than functioning as separate mechanical devices. == Conclusion == A bionic arm represents the combination of human biology and modern engineering. It uses mechanical structures, electronic control systems, and biological signals to restore selected arm and hand functions. Although current technology cannot completely reproduce the abilities of a natural human arm, it has created new possibilities for people with upper-limb loss. Continued research in robotics, biomedical engineering, and neural interfaces may further improve the connection between humans and artificial limbs. == References == # National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB).

This method detects electrical activity produced when a person contracts the remaining muscles in the residual limb. The process generally involves the following steps: # The user contracts a particular muscle. # Electrodes placed against the skin detect the electrical activity generated by the muscle. # The electronic controller receives and processes the detected signals. # The controller identifies the intended movement based on the signal pattern. # Electric motors receive commands and move the artificial joints or fingers. For example, a user may contract specific muscles to open or close the artificial hand. More advanced control systems can recognize different muscle patterns to operate several movements. Not all bionic arms use the same control method. Some use mechanical switches, while others use pattern-recognition systems or experimental neural interfaces. == Types of Bionic Arms == Bionic arms can be classified according to their control mechanisms and physical design. === Myoelectric Arms === Myoelectric arms use electrical signals produced by muscles to control artificial limb movements. Electrodes detect muscle activity and send information to a controller. These devices are commonly used in externally powered prosthetic systems. === Body-Powered Arms === Body-powered artificial arms use movements of the remaining body parts, such as the shoulder, to operate mechanical cables. They do not depend on electric motors for their primary movement. Although they are not generally considered fully bionic systems, they represent an important type of functional upper-limb prosthesis. === Multi-Articulating Arms === Multi-articulating bionic hands contain several independently controlled or coordinated finger mechanisms. They can perform different gripping patterns to hold objects of different shapes and sizes. === Neural-Controlled Arms === Neural-controlled prosthetic systems investigate the use of signals from nerves or the nervous system to control artificial limbs. These systems are an advanced area of biomedical research and may provide more direct communication between a person's nervous system and an artificial device. == Role of Sensors and Artificial Intelligence == Sensors play an important role in improving the performance of bionic arms. They can measure the position of joints, detect contact with objects, and monitor the force applied during gripping. Artificial intelligence and pattern-recognition algorithms can help identify the intended movement from muscle signals. Instead of requiring a separate switch for every action, some systems can learn to recognize different patterns of muscle activity. For example, a bionic hand may use sensor information to adjust its grip when holding an object. This can help reduce the possibility of dropping or damaging the object. However, the performance of these systems depends on sensor quality, signal processing, calibration, and the user's ability to control the device. == Sensory Feedback == One of the major differences between a natural human hand and many conventional bionic hands is the availability of touch sensation. A natural hand contains sensory receptors that provide information about pressure, temperature, and contact. Most conventional prosthetic hands do not reproduce this natural sensory experience. Researchers are developing systems that use pressure sensors and electrical stimulation to provide feedback to the user. Such systems may communicate information about the strength of a grip or contact with an object. Sensory feedback is an important research area because it may help users control artificial limbs more naturally. == Applications == Bionic arms are mainly developed to assist people with upper-limb loss. Their applications include: * '''Daily activities:''' Holding cups, carrying lightweight objects, and handling household items. * '''Workplace activities:''' Supporting selected tasks that require gripping, positioning, or object manipulation. * '''Rehabilitation:''' Helping individuals practise controlled movements and adapt to the use of an artificial limb. * '''Research and medicine:''' Providing a platform for studying human-machine interaction, muscle signals, and neural control. * '''Assistive technology:''' Improving independence in activities that may otherwise require additional assistance. The suitability of a bionic arm depends on the individual's physical condition, residual limb, requirements, and the capabilities of the selected device. == Challenges and Limitations == Despite improvements in technology, bionic arms still face several challenges. * '''High cost:''' Advanced prosthetic systems can be expensive to manufacture, purchase, and maintain. * '''Battery limitations:''' Motorized movements and electronic systems require regular charging. * '''Weight:''' Additional motors, batteries, and electronic components can make the device heavy. * '''Control difficulties:''' Some users require training to operate multiple movements accurately. * '''Maintenance:''' Mechanical parts, sensors, and electrical connections may require repair or replacement. * '''Sensory limitations:''' Reproducing the natural feeling of touch remains a difficult engineering problem. * '''Individual adaptation:''' A design that works well for one person may not provide the same results for another. These limitations show that the development of a bionic arm requires consideration of both engineering performance and human comfort. == Future of Bionic Arms == Future bionic arm research is focused on making artificial limbs lighter, more responsive, and easier to control. Developments in neural interfaces may allow artificial limbs to receive more detailed movement commands directly from the nervous system. Another important area is sensory restoration. Researchers are investigating ways to transmit information from artificial sensors back to the user's nervous system, potentially allowing more natural control and a better understanding of object contact. Advances in artificial intelligence may also allow bionic arms to recognize common gripping tasks and adjust their movements according to the object being handled. The long-term objective is to develop artificial limbs that work more closely with the human body rather than functioning as separate mechanical devices. == Conclusion == A bionic arm represents the combination of human biology and modern engineering. It uses mechanical structures, electronic control systems, and biological signals to restore selected arm and hand functions. Although current technology cannot completely reproduce the abilities of a natural human arm, it has created new possibilities for people with upper-limb loss. Continued research in robotics, biomedical engineering, and neural interfaces may further improve the connection between humans and artificial limbs. == References == # National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB).

Utilizing sensors to pick up residual electrical signals. Utilizing sensors to pick up residual signals from remaining muscle movements, these robotic limbs translate user input fluid, natural hand, and arm gestures, allowing users to perform delicate tasks like holding a glass, typing, or gripping objects with precise control. == Development of Bionic Arms == The development of artificial arms began with simple mechanical devices that provided basic support and movement. Early designs mainly used straps, cables, springs, and mechanical joints. Although these devices helped users perform certain activities, their movements were limited. Advances in electronics and biomedical engineering led to the development of externally powered artificial limbs. These devices introduced electric motors and electrical control systems, allowing more controlled movements. Modern bionic arms can use muscle signals, pressure sensors, and computer-based control systems.

Most robots do not look like that. A robot in a factory may be a metal arm fixed to the floor, while a space robot might be a rover with wheels, cameras and scientific tools. Their shapes are different because each one is built for a particular job.

Most robots do not look like that. A robot in a factory may be a metal arm fixed to the floor, while a space robot might be a rover with wheels, cameras and scientific tools. Their shapes are different because each one is built for a particular job. [https://kids.britannica.com/scholars/article/robotics/473204] Robotics is the field concerned with designing, building and using robots. It brings together mechanical engineering, electronics, control systems and computing. The work is not just about making a machine move; designers also have to decide what the machine needs to sense, how it will be controlled and where it will be used. [https://kids.britannica.com/scholars/article/robotics/473204] What Is a Robot? There is no single short definition that covers every machine described as a robot. For industrial robots, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) uses a definition based on an International Organisation for Standardization standard: an industrial robot is automatically controlled, can be reprogrammed, and can be programmed to move along at least three axes in an industrial setting. An axis is a direction of movement, such as a straight slide or a rotation. [https://ifr.org/industrial-robots] A robot is usually part of a larger system. The system can include the robot’s physical structure, a controller and software, a power source, and a tool at the end of an arm. That tool might grip an object, weld a joint or spray paint. Sensors and cameras can provide information about the robot’s surroundings. OSHA’s description of industrial robot systems also includes control equipment, power sources and sensors—not just the moving arm. [https://ifr.org/industrial-robots][https://www.osha.gov/otm/section-4-safety-hazards/chapter-4] Robots do not all work in the same way. Some follow a set sequence of movements. Others are operated by a person from a distance, or use sensor information to guide parts of a task. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory develops space robots that use cameras, instruments and software for movement, placing instruments and collecting samples. That does not mean every robot can act independently; the amount of control and autonomy depends on its design and purpose. [https://ifr.org/wr-service-robots] Types of Robots Robots can be grouped by their mechanical design. An Articulated robot has three or more rotary joints. It can bend and turn like a mechanical arm, which lets it reach different positions. A Cartesian robot, also called a gantry robot, moves along straight axes arranged like the sides of a box. These designs are used for different kinds of industrial work. [https://www.osha.gov/otm/section-4-safety-hazards/chapter-4] A SCARA robot has two parallel rotary joints that allow movement in a selected plane. A Parallel or delta robot has arms connected in a closed-loop structure. A Cylindrical robot combines rotary and sliding joints, while a Polar robot uses rotary joints and a sliding movement. These names describe the machine’s structure and movement; they do not tell us by themselves what job the robot performs. [https://ifr.org/industrial-robots] Another way to classify robots is by what they are used for. Industrial robots are used in factory automation. OSHA lists tasks such as material handling, assembly, welding, painting, machine loading and unloading, and packaging. Service robots carry out useful tasks for people or equipment outside industrial manufacturing automation. [https://ifr.org/industrial-robots] The IFR divides service robots into consumer and professional types. Consumer service robots are intended for personal or domestic use and do not require a professionally trained operator. Professional service robots are designed for trained operators. Some service robots used in areas such as surgery or assistance may be controlled manually or have limited autonomy, so the word “robot” does not always mean a machine is working on its own. [https://ifr.org/wr-service-robots] These categories can overlap. “Articulated” describes how a robot is built, while “industrial” describes its use. A robot can be both an articulated robot and an industrial robot. Thinking about structure and purpose separately makes the different names easier to understand. [https://ifr.org/wr-service-robots] Why Do We Use Robots? Robots are often used for work that is repetitive, hazardous, unpleasant or physically demanding. In factories, programmed machines can move materials, assemble parts, weld, paint or load equipment. A robot can handle repeated movements, while workers set up the system, supervise the work and respond when the process needs attention. [https://ifr.org/industrial-robots] Robots are also useful when the place itself is difficult for people to reach. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory develops machines for exploring the solar system, travelling across planetary surfaces, placing instruments and collecting samples. A robot can gather information from a distant environment without requiring a person to stand beside it. Space missions still need people to design the equipment, plan the task and monitor the results. [https://robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/] Service robots are used in settings beyond factory production. Some are intended for personal or domestic use; others are operated by trained professionals. In medicine and assistance, a robot may be closely controlled by a professional rather than acting independently. The reason for using one depends on the task: the same kind of robot will not suit every home, workplace or patient. [https://ifr.org/wr-service-robots] Advantages One advantage of a robot is that it can repeat programmed movements in a consistent way. That can be useful when a factory performs the same operation many times. The IFR says companies may consider robots to improve production speed, product quality, flexibility or worker safety. These are possible benefits, not guaranteed results; they depend on the job and how the system is set up.[https://ifr.org/industrial-robots] Robots can also take on some work that would otherwise expose people to hazardous conditions. OSHA notes that industrial robots are used for unsafe, hazardous, repetitive and unpleasant tasks. Space robots offer another example: a rover or other system can carry out exploration work in places people cannot easily visit. [https://robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/] A further advantage is that robot designs can be matched to specific tasks. A factory may choose an arm or a gantry based on the space and movement needed. A planetary mission may need a robot built to travel over rough ground or handle scientific instruments. A robot is most useful when its design fits the work; it is not a machine that can automatically do every job. [https://ifr.org/industrial-robots] Disadvantages and Safety Robots can create safety risks, especially when people work close to them. OSHA reports that accidents may happen during programming, maintenance, testing, setup or adjustment. During these activities, a worker may be inside the robot’s working area, where an unexpected movement could cause an injury. Safety planning, training and suitable safeguards are therefore important parts of using industrial robots. [https://www.osha.gov/otm/section-4-safety-hazards/chapter-4] Robots also need people to install, program, check and maintain them. A machine designed for one job may need changes if the task or workplace changes. Industrial robots can be reprogrammed, but that does not mean every change is automatic or simple; the equipment still has to be set up for the new task. [https://ifr.org/industrial-robots] A robot’s abilities depend on its design, software, sensors and instructions. A machine made for a factory floor will not automatically be ready to work in a field or on a rocky planet. Designers have to consider the surroundings, and operators need to understand what the equipment can and cannot do. [https://www.osha.gov/otm/section-4-safety-hazards/chapter-4] Robots can change how work is organized, because they may take over particular movements or duties. At the same time, people remain involved in choosing the equipment, programming it, maintaining it and making sure it is used safely. The effect of a robot depends on the job and the way it is introduced; it is too simple to say that robots always replace people or always make work better. [https://www.osha.gov/otm/section-4-safety-hazards/chapter-4] People and the Future of Robotics Robotics depends on people with different skills. Engineers design the machine and its controls; technicians install and maintain it; operators use it and follow safety procedures. In some medical applications, trained professionals directly control the robotic equipment. The machine does the task it was designed for, but people remain responsible for deciding how and when it should be used. [https://www.osha.gov/otm/section-4-safety-hazards/chapter-4] Research continues on robots for demanding environments. NASA JPL’s work includes mobility, instrument placement, sample collection and autonomous systems for exploration. These projects combine mechanical design, electronics and software. They show how robots can be made for particular challenges, rather than proving that machines think or act just like people. [https://robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/] Conclusion Robotics is about designing and using machines to carry out particular tasks. Robots can be classified by their structure or by their purpose, and they are used in factories, service settings and space exploration. They can help with repeated, hazardous or hard-to-reach work, but they also need careful design, maintenance and safety planning. A robot is a useful tool when people match it to the task and understand its limits.

That does not mean every robot can act independently; the amount of control and autonomy depends on its design and purpose. [https://ifr.org/wr-service-robots] Types of Robots Robots can be grouped by their mechanical design. An Articulated robot has three or more rotary joints. It can bend and turn like a mechanical arm, which lets it reach different positions. A Cartesian robot, also called a gantry robot, moves along straight axes arranged like the sides of a box. These designs are used for different kinds of industrial work. [https://www.osha.gov/otm/section-4-safety-hazards/chapter-4] A SCARA robot has two parallel rotary joints that allow movement in a selected plane. A Parallel or delta robot has arms connected in a closed-loop structure. A Cylindrical robot combines rotary and sliding joints, while a Polar robot uses rotary joints and a sliding movement. These names describe the machine’s structure and movement; they do not tell us by themselves what job the robot performs. [https://ifr.org/industrial-robots] Another way to classify robots is by what they are used for. Industrial robots are used in factory automation. OSHA lists tasks such as material handling, assembly, welding, painting, machine loading and unloading, and packaging. Service robots carry out useful tasks for people or equipment outside industrial manufacturing automation. [https://ifr.org/industrial-robots] The IFR divides service robots into consumer and professional types. Consumer service robots are intended for personal or domestic use and do not require a professionally trained operator. Professional service robots are designed for trained operators. Some service robots used in areas such as surgery or assistance may be controlled manually or have limited autonomy, so the word “robot” does not always mean a machine is working on its own. [https://ifr.org/wr-service-robots] These categories can overlap. “Articulated” describes how a robot is built, while “industrial” describes its use. A robot can be both an articulated robot and an industrial robot. Thinking about structure and purpose separately makes the different names easier to understand. [https://ifr.org/wr-service-robots] Why Do We Use Robots? Robots are often used for work that is repetitive, hazardous, unpleasant or physically demanding. In factories, programmed machines can move materials, assemble parts, weld, paint or load equipment. A robot can handle repeated movements, while workers set up the system, supervise the work and respond when the process needs attention. [https://ifr.org/industrial-robots] Robots are also useful when the place itself is difficult for people to reach. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory develops machines for exploring the solar system, travelling across planetary surfaces, placing instruments and collecting samples. A robot can gather information from a distant environment without requiring a person to stand beside it. Space missions still need people to design the equipment, plan the task and monitor the results. [https://robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/] Service robots are used in settings beyond factory production. Some are intended for personal or domestic use; others are operated by trained professionals. In medicine and assistance, a robot may be closely controlled by a professional rather than acting independently. The reason for using one depends on the task: the same kind of robot will not suit every home, workplace or patient. [https://ifr.org/wr-service-robots] Advantages One advantage of a robot is that it can repeat programmed movements in a consistent way. That can be useful when a factory performs the same operation many times. The IFR says companies may consider robots to improve production speed, product quality, flexibility or worker safety. These are possible benefits, not guaranteed results; they depend on the job and how the system is set up.[https://ifr.org/industrial-robots] Robots can also take on some work that would otherwise expose people to hazardous conditions. OSHA notes that industrial robots are used for unsafe, hazardous, repetitive and unpleasant tasks. Space robots offer another example: a rover or other system can carry out exploration work in places people cannot easily visit. [https://robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/] A further advantage is that robot designs can be matched to specific tasks. A factory may choose an arm or a gantry based on the space and movement needed. A planetary mission may need a robot built to travel over rough ground or handle scientific instruments. A robot is most useful when its design fits the work; it is not a machine that can automatically do every job. [https://ifr.org/industrial-robots] Disadvantages and Safety Robots can create safety risks, especially when people work close to them. OSHA reports that accidents may happen during programming, maintenance, testing, setup or adjustment. During these activities, a worker may be inside the robot’s working area, where an unexpected movement could cause an injury. Safety planning, training and suitable safeguards are therefore important parts of using industrial robots. [https://www.osha.gov/otm/section-4-safety-hazards/chapter-4] Robots also need people to install, program, check and maintain them. A machine designed for one job may need changes if the task or workplace changes. Industrial robots can be reprogrammed, but that does not mean every change is automatic or simple; the equipment still has to be set up for the new task. [https://ifr.org/industrial-robots] A robot’s abilities depend on its design, software, sensors and instructions. A machine made for a factory floor will not automatically be ready to work in a field or on a rocky planet. Designers have to consider the surroundings, and operators need to understand what the equipment can and cannot do. [https://www.osha.gov/otm/section-4-safety-hazards/chapter-4] Robots can change how work is organized, because they may take over particular movements or duties. At the same time, people remain involved in choosing the equipment, programming it, maintaining it and making sure it is used safely. The effect of a robot depends on the job and the way it is introduced; it is too simple to say that robots always replace people or always make work better. [https://www.osha.gov/otm/section-4-safety-hazards/chapter-4] People and the Future of Robotics Robotics depends on people with different skills. Engineers design the machine and its controls; technicians install and maintain it; operators use it and follow safety procedures. In some medical applications, trained professionals directly control the robotic equipment. The machine does the task it was designed for, but people remain responsible for deciding how and when it should be used. [https://www.osha.gov/otm/section-4-safety-hazards/chapter-4] Research continues on robots for demanding environments. NASA JPL’s work includes mobility, instrument placement, sample collection and autonomous systems for exploration. These projects combine mechanical design, electronics and software. They show how robots can be made for particular challenges, rather than proving that machines think or act just like people. [https://robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/] Conclusion Robotics is about designing and using machines to carry out particular tasks. Robots can be classified by their structure or by their purpose, and they are used in factories, service settings and space exploration. They can help with repeated, hazardous or hard-to-reach work, but they also need careful design, maintenance and safety planning. A robot is a useful tool when people match it to the task and understand its limits.

If we look back at 2016, humanoid robots were primarily tethered lab experiments, "cobots" (collaborative robots) were a nascent concept, and warehouse automation was largely reliant on fixed infrastructure. Fast forward to today, and we are living in an era of "Physical AI," where robots are intelligent, autonomous, and working safely alongside us in factories, hospitals, and even our homes. This blog post explores the key breakthroughs that have defined this remarkable decade. 1. The Rise of Physical AI: When Software Meets Hardware The single most significant development in robotics over the last decade is the integration of advanced Artificial Intelligence. In 2016, robots were mostly "programmed machines"—they executed precise, repetitive motions, but lacked the ability to perceive or adapt to their environment. They were powerful but blind, requiring strict safety cages to protect human workers. Today, "Physical AI" has changed everything. Robots are now equipped with sophisticated vision systems and powerful onboard processors that allow them to interpret the world in real-time. Using technologies like Deep Reinforcement Learning, robots can learn complex tasks through trial and error in simulation before ever touching a physical object. This has led to machines that can handle variations in product shape, pick randomly oriented items from a bin, and navigate dynamic spaces without pre-programmed maps. We have moved from an era of automation to one of autonomy. Image 1: The Evolution of Industrial Robotics. This split-panel image starkly contrasts the old and the new. On the left (2016), a traditional, heavy industrial arm performs a fixed task within a safety cage. On the right (2026), a modern collaborative robot, or "cobot," works safely and intelligently side-by-side with a human technician, using advanced sensors to perform delicate assembly. 2. The Humanoid Leap: From Lab to Logistics Floor Perhaps no area of robotics has captured the public imagination—and seen as much progress—as humanoid robotics. Ten years ago, bipedal robots were clumsy, slow, and prone to falling. Boston Dynamics' Atlas was a groundbreaking research platform, but it was tethered to a power source and its movements were heavily scripted for demonstration. Today, humanoid robots are transitioning from academic projects to industrial tools. The past few years have seen an explosion of activity, with companies like Agility Robotics (Digit), Figure AI (Figure 03), and Tesla (Optimus) developing humanoids designed for real-world work. The 2026 humanoid is agile, untethered, and increasingly autonomous. Fueled by advancements in battery technology, lightweight materials, and AI, these robots are being piloted in automotive plants and logistics warehouses. Their bipedal form factor allows them to navigate environments designed for humans, making them a versatile solution for labor shortages and dull, dirty, or dangerous tasks. They are no longer just a novelty, but a necessary part of the modern workforce. Image 2: The Humanoid Co-Worker. A modern humanoid robot, representing state-of-the-art technology in 2026, works alongside a human in an automotive factory. It is performing a complex, collaborative task: carefully lifting and placing a heavy battery pack into an electric vehicle chassis. The scene highlights the robot's advanced dexterity and its role as a direct assistant to the human workforce, with other autonomous robots in the background. The Road Ahead The development in robotics over the last decade has been exponential, driven by the convergence of AI, compute power, and advanced mechatronics. We have transitioned from an era where robots were confined by rigid programming and safety cages to one where they are becoming intelligent, mobile, and collaborative partners. As we look beyond 2026, the focus will be on improving manipulation capabilities (the "holy grail" of robotics), refining human-robot interaction, and deploying these systems into increasingly unstructured and unpredictable environments—including our homes. The foundation has been laid for a future where robots not only build our world but actively assist us within it. m45q1gbxd1rd4v5rgmolsbemwegmusx 2 487118 4681454 2026-11-10T18:06:32Z Minato 18 3626634 effects of noise in communication systems 4681454 wikitext text/x-wiki '''<big>EFFECT OF NOISE ON ANALOG COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS</big>''' '''<big>CONTENTS</big>''' '''<big>1.Effect of Noise on Linear-Modulation Systems</big>''' 1.1 The Impact of Noise Within a Baseband Configuration 1.2 Effect of Noise on DSB-SCAM 1.3 Effect of Noise on SSB AM 1.4 Effect of Noise on Conventional AM '''<big>2.Carrier-Phase Estimation utilizing a Phase-Locked Loop</big>''' 2.1 The Phase-Locked Loop 2.2 Impact of Additive Noise on Phase Estimation '''<big>3.Effect of Noise on Angle Modulation</big>''' 3.1 Threshold Effect in Angle Modulation 3.2 Pre-emphasis and De-emphasis Filtering '''<big>4.Comparison of Analog-Modulation Systems</big>''' '''<big>5.Effects of</big>''' '''<big>Transmission Losses and Noise in Analog Communication Systems</big>''' 5.1 Characterization of Thermal Noise Sources 5.2 Effective Noise temperature and Noise figure 5.3 Transmission losses 5.4 Repeaters for signal transmission '''<big>1.Effect of noise on linear modulation systems</big>''' '''<big>Introduction</big>''' In analog communication systems, linear modulation serves as a methodology wherein the amplitude of a carrier wave is modulated in direct proportion to the information-bearing signal. The primary objective of this modulation process is to facilitate the efficient transmission of data across a communication channel. In practical communication systems, transmitted signals are invariably subjected to unwanted disturbances termed noise. This interference may infiltrate the system via the transmission channel or originate from within the electronic components themselves. Upon the superposition of noise onto the transmitted signal, the receiver acquires a composite comprising both the desired signal and the intrusive noise. The efficacy of a communication system operating under noisy conditions is routinely assessed through the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), a metric that quantifies the relative magnitude of the desired signal's power against that of interfering noise. Consequently, the performance of various amplitude-modulation schemes cannot be presumed equivalent in noisy environments, as these techniques diverge significantly in their bandwidth demands, power allocation, and receiver architecture. '''<big>1.1 Effect of Noise on a Baseband System</big>''' '''<big>Introduction to Baseband Communication</big>''' Baseband communication means sending an information signal through a communication channel. There is no shift to a higher frequency carrier. This kind of communication is used when the signal stays at its frequency range. Examples include voice signals sent over wired systems like telephone lines. Another example is data sent through baseband channels such, as Ethernet cables. A simple baseband communication system has three parts: a transmitter, a communication channel and a receiver. The transmitter creates the information signal. That signal moves through the channel. At the end the signal is processed to get back the original information. Mathematical Representation of the Received Signal In real-world situations the received signal is disturbed by noise. The noise gets added to the signal as it travels. The received signal can be written as: '''<big>r(t) = s(t)+n(t)</big>''' where: * r(t) represents the received signals. * s(t) represents the transmitted message signals. * n(t) represents the additive noise The noise part is not. Can hurt how correct the message that is found back is. Additive White Gaussian Noise Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) is a model that is often used to study noise in communication systems. It has three features: 1. Additive: Noise is put on top of the signal that was sent. 2. White: The amount of noise is the same across all the frequencies that are being looked at. 3. Gaussian: The size of the noise follows a pattern that is shaped like a bell. AWGN is a model for looking at how well communication systems work. Effect of Noise at the Receiver When the signal that is received goes into the receiver it is put through a filter that tries to cut out parts that are not needed. The receiver tries to find the message while making the noise as small as possible. Some noise inside the signal range might still be there after the filter. So the message that is found back might not be the same as the one that was sent. Signal-to-Noise Ratio The way a basic communication system works can be checked using the signal-, to-noise ratio. SNR = Ps/Pn where: * Ps is the average signal power * Pn is the average noise power The SNR expressed in decibels is: SNR(dB)=10log10(Ps/Pn) A higher SNR indicates that the useful signal power is greater compared with the noise power. This generally results in better reception quality. 1.2 Effect of noise on DSB-SC AM Double sideband suppressed carrier(DSB-SC) is an amplitude-modulation technique in which the carrier is suppressed during transmission. Only the upper and lower sidebands containing the information are transmitted. In conventional AM, the carrier consumes a significant portion of the total transmitted power. DSB-SC reduces this carrier-power wastage by transmitting only the sidebands. Mathematical representation The DSB-SC signal is represented by: s(t)=Ac m(t)cos(2piFct) Where: * Ac is the carrier amplitude. * m(t) is the message signal. * Fc is the carrier frequency. * t represents time. '''<big>Effect of noise</big>''' When the DSB-SC signal passes through a channel the signal that arrives at the receiver contains the DSB-SC modulated signal plus extra noise: r(t)=s(t)+n(t) The receiver uses a coherent detector to recover the original message. Coherent detection requires a generated carrier that matches the transmitted carrier in frequency and has the correct phase relationship. The receiver multiplies the received signal by the generated carrier and then sends the result through a low‑pass filter. This step pulls out the baseband information signal. The performance of DSB‑SC relies on carrier synchronization. If there is a mismatch in frequency or phase the recovered signal will. The quality of communication will drop. '''<big>Noise performance</big>''' DSB‑SC does not send the carrier, which makes it more power efficient than AM. Yet DSB‑SC needs a complex receiver because coherent detection is required. The output signal‑to‑noise ratio is used to judge how well the recovered message stands up against noise. '''<big>1.3 Effect of Noise on SSB AM</big>''' Single Sideband (SSB) modulation is a type of amplitude modulation that sends one of the two sidebands. In a double‑sideband system both sidebands carry related information so sending just one sideband can cut the needed bandwidth. SSB comes in two forms: - Upper Sideband (USB) - Lower Sideband (LSB) In USB transmission the upper sideband is the part sent. In LSB transmission the lower sideband is the part sent. Bandwidth requirement If the message signal peaks, at a frequency of )w the approximate bandwidth needed is: For DSB-SC: Bdsb=2W For SSB: Bssd=W Therefore SSB needs about half the bandwidth of DSB-SC when carrying the message bandwidth. '''<big>Effect of noise on SSB</big>''' As an SSB signal moves through a communication channel noise gets mixed in with the signal. The receiver then has to recover the message from this noisy signal, which contains both the wanted sideband and the unwanted noise. SSB usually relies on detection. The receiver creates a local carrier signal to rebuild the message. Precise frequency and phase alignment are needed because any mistakes in the carrier can lead to distortion in the message that is recovered. Noise performance The noise performance of SSB is measured by the output signal-to-noise ratio or SNR. Because SSB uses bandwidth efficiently it works well in systems where the available channel bandwidth's tight. SSB is often used in long-distance radio communication and, in some two-way radio systems === 1.4 Effect of Noise on Conventional AM === Conventional Amplitude Modulation is a technique in which the amplitude of a high-frequency carrier varies according to the message signal. Unlike DSB-SC, conventional AM transmits the carrier along with both sidebands. The transmitted AM signal can be represented as: s(t)=Ac[1+<math>\mu</math>Mn(t)]cos(2piFct) Where: * Ac represents the carrier amplitude. * <math>\mu</math> represents the modulation index. * Mn(t) represents a normalized message signal. * Fc represents the carrier frequency. For a sinusoidal message signal, the modulation index indicates the extent to which the carrier amplitude varies. '''<big>Envelope detection</big>''' A big benefit of AM is that the original information can be brought back by using an envelope detector. This envelope detector usually has a diode and an RC circuit. The diode cleans the AM signal while the RC circuit follows the shape of the envelope. The final output looks like the message signal. '''<big>Effect of noise</big>''' Noise that enters an AM signal can change the height of the received waveform. Because the information in AM is shown by changes, in height height noise directly changes the envelope detector output. If the noise level gets high enough the envelope can get bent. The recovered message may have strange changes. '''<big>Power distribution</big>''' The total power that is sent in AM is made up of carrier power and sideband power. For a single-tone sinusoidal AM signal: Pt=Pc(1+mu*2/2) Where: * Pt is the total transmitted power. * Pc is the carrier power. * mu is the modulation index. This equation shows that transmitted power is distributed between the carrier and the sidebands. Conventional AM is widely used in broadcasting because of its relatively simple receiver structure. However, its amplitude-based detection makes it sensitive to amplitude disturbances. '''<big>2. Carrier-Phase Estimation with a Phase-Locked Loop</big>''' Carrier-phase estimation is a part of communication systems that use coherent detection. In methods such as DSB-SC and SSB the receiver needs a reference carrier to recover the message signal. The reference carrier generated at the receiver must keep the frequency and phase relationship with the transmitted carrier. However noise and frequency variations can create synchronization errors. A Phase‑Locked Loop or PLL is commonly used to achieve and keep synchronization. The PLL is a feedback control system that changes a generated signal based on the phase difference between the input signal and the reference signal. '''<big>2.1 The Phase‑Locked Loop</big>''' A Phase‑Locked Loop is a circuit that synchronises the frequency and phase of an output signal with an incoming reference signal. It is widely used in radio receivers, frequency synthesizers, communication systems and digital electronic circuits. '''<big>Basic components of a PLL</big>''' A PLL has three main components. '''<big>1. Phase Detector</big>''' The phase detector compares the phase of the signal with the phase of the locally generated oscillator signal. It produces an error signal that matches the phase difference, between the two signals. '''<big>2. Loop Filter</big>''' The output of the phase detector contains variations and high‑frequency components. The loop filter processes this output. Gives a smoother control signal. '''<big>3. Voltage‑Controlled Oscillator (VCO)</big>''' A Voltage‑Controlled Oscillator generates an output signal whose frequency depends on the control voltage that is applied. The control signal changes the oscillator frequency to lessen the phase difference. '''<big>Working principle</big>''' When an input signal is applied to a PLL the phase detector looks at the input and the oscillator output. If there is a phase difference the phase detector creates an error signal. The loop filter takes the error signal. Passes it to the VCO. The oscillator then changes its frequency so that the phase difference becomes smaller. The loop keeps working until the PLL reaches a condition. In the state the oscillator keeps the required frequency and the phase relationship with the input signal. '''<big>Applications of PLL</big>''' * Carrier recovery in communication receivers. * Frequency synthesis. * Clock synchronization. * Radio and television receivers. * Digital communication systems. * Frequency modulation and demodulation circuits '''<big>2.2 Effect of Additive Noise on Phase Estimation</big>''' In communication systems the received carrier is affected by additive noise. This noise creates uncertainty in the phase of the received signal. A PLL still tries to estimate the carrier phase when the input signal has noise. However noise can cause rapid changes in the estimated phase. These changes are called phase errors or phase jitter. Effect of noise, on the phase detector The phase detector compares the carrier with the locally generated oscillator signal. When noise is present the phase detector gets a reference signal. Because of that the phase error signal can have fluctuations. The loop filter then tries to reduce these fluctuations before they reach the VCO. '''<big>Phase jitter</big>''' Phase jitter means changes in the phase of a signal. It can happen because of noise, unstable oscillators and problems in the synchronization circuit. Much phase jitter can hurt coherent demodulation and make the recovered information less accurate. '''<big>Effect of loop bandwidth</big>''' The loop bandwidth is a factor that affects PLL performance. * A larger loop bandwidth usually helps the PLL keep up with changes in input frequency and phase. * A larger bandwidth can also let noise into the loop. * A smaller loop bandwidth can stop noise from getting through the loop. * However a loop bandwidth that is too small can make it hard to keep up with changes in the input signal. So the loop bandwidth needs to be chosen based on how the system needs to track and how much noise is present. Importance in communication systems Getting the carrier phase right is very important, in detection systems. A designed PLL helps with synchronization and makes sure the signal can be recovered properly even when there is noise. '''<big>3. Effect of Noise on Angle Modulation</big>''' I see angle modulation as a way to send information by changing the angle of a carrier wave. The two main types of angle modulation are Frequency Modulation, known as FM and Phase Modulation, known as PM. When we talk about amplitude modulation, the size of the carrier changes with the message signal.. When we use angle modulation the carrier size stays basically the same while its instant frequency or phase moves. I think angle modulation is especially useful, in communication systems because it can give protection against some kinds of noise, particularly amplitude disturbances. '''Frequency Modulation''' In Frequency Modulation, the frequency of the carrier changes following the size of the message signal. The general FM signal can be represented as: Sfm(t)=Ae cos[2piFct+2piKf <math>\int</math>m(t)dt] Where: * Ae is the carrier amplitude. * Fc is the carrier frequency. * m(t) is the message signal. * kf is the frequency sensitivity constant. === Phase Modulation === In Phase Modulation, the instantaneous phase of the carrier varies directly according to the message signal. It can be represented as: Spm(t)=Ae cos[2piFct+Kpm(t)] Where Kp represents the phase sensitivity constant. '''<big>3.1 Threshold Effect in Angle Modulation</big>''' The threshold effect is a phenomenon seen in angle-modulation systems, especially in Frequency Modulation. FM systems usually offer noise performance when the received carrier signal is strong compared to the noise.. When the received signal strength drops below a certain point the output noise can rise quickly. This sudden drop in the quality of the recovered signal is called the threshold effect. '''<big>Operation of an FM receiver</big>''' An FM receiver typically has the following parts: 1. Radio-frequency amplifier. 2. Frequency conversion and intermediate-frequency processing. 3. Limiter. 4. FM discriminator or frequency detector. 5. Audio amplifier. The limiter takes out amplitude changes before the frequency detector works on the signal. This step helps lower the impact of amplitude noise on the information that is recovered. Why does the threshold effect happen? When the carrier-to-noise ratio is high the FM receiver can track the frequency changes of the signal properly. When the received signal is weak noise can cause changes in the way the phase and frequency of the signal look. The receiver might then make mistakes in the output it produces. As the carrier-to-noise ratio continues to drop the quality of the output can get much worse. '''Methods of reducing the threshold effect''' Some ways to make FM receivers work better include: * Keeping the received carrier power at a level. * Using the right receiver design. * Using noise-reduction methods. * Choosing the correct receiver bandwidth. * Using threshold-extension methods when needed. '''Importance''' Knowing about the threshold effect is important, in the building of FM receivers because it shows why the noise performance of FM gets worse when the received signal is very weak. '''<big>3.2 Pre-emphasis and De-emphasis Filtering</big>''' Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis are filtering methods used in FM communication systems to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the message that is recovered at the receiver. In FM systems the noise at the output of the frequency discriminator tends to increase as the frequency goes up. This means that higher-frequency parts of the message signal may become more affected by noise. To deal with this pre-emphasis and de-emphasis are used together. '''Pre-emphasis''' Pre-emphasis is the step where the higher-frequency parts of the message signal are made stronger before transmission. This is done using a -emphasis filter that is placed right before the FM modulator. The filter boosts the high-frequency components so that they stand out after transmission. '''De-emphasis''' De-emphasis is the process and it happens at the receiver side. A de-emphasis filter is used after the FM demodulator. It brings down the boosted high-frequency parts. Brings the signal back, to its original shape. It also helps reduce the high-frequency noise that got added during transmission and reception. '''Working principle''' The process works in this order: 1. The original message signal goes into the -emphasis circuit. 2. The higher-frequency parts of the signal are increased in strength. 3. The boosted signal is sent to the FM modulator. 4. The modulated signal is sent through the communication channel. 5. The FM receiver picks up the signal. Recovers the message. 6. The de-emphasis filter restores the frequency balance and cuts down high-frequency noise. '''Time constant''' Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis circuits are usually built using RC networks. The time constant is expressed as: τ = RC where R's the resistance and C is the capacitance The appropriate time constant depends on the communication standard and system design. '''Applications''' * FM radio broadcasting. * Audio transmission systems. * Wireless communication systems. * Communication receivers requiring improved high-frequency noise performance. '''<big>4. Comparison of Analog-Modulation Systems</big>''' Analog-modulation systems differ in needs, power efficiency, how complex the receiver is and how well they handle noise. The major techniques discussed in this chapter are AM DSB-SC, SSB and FM. Comparison based on modulation characteristics '''Conventional AM''' Conventional AM transmits the carrier and both sidebands. It needs a simple receiver and can use an envelope detector. However Conventional AM is sensitive to amplitude noise. '''DSB-SC''' DSB-SC transmits both sidebands while not sending the carrier. DSB-SC improves power efficiency.. Dsb-SC requires coherent detection at the receiver. '''SSB''' SSB transmits one sideband. SSB requires bandwidth than DSB-SC and conventional AM. However SSB needs carrier recovery for proper demodulation. '''FM''' FM varies the frequency of the carrier. FM provides resistance to amplitude noise when the received signal is strong enough. However FM usually needs bandwidth, than AM. '''Selection of modulation techniques.''' The selection of a modulation technique depends on the requirements of the communication system. Conventional AM is suitable for applications where simple receivers and low implementation complexity are important. I find conventional AM works well when simplicity matters. DSB‑SC is useful where carrier‑power efficiency is important and coherent detection is available. DSB‑SC shines when power efficiency counts. SSB is suitable for communication systems where bandwidth conservation is required such as long‑distance radio applications. SSB saves bandwidth for long‑haul radio. FM is widely used in broadcasting and other applications where improved resistance to amplitude noise is required. FM offers noise resistance for broadcasts. No single modulation technique is suitable, for every situation. The final choice of a modulation technique depends on bandwidth, transmitted power, receiver complexity noise conditions and application requirements. '''<big>5. Effects of Transmission Losses and Noise in Analog Communication Systems</big>''' In analog communication systems the signal has to travel through a physical channel. As it moves the signal can lose strength get distorted or pick up noise. Transmission losses make the signal weaker by the time it reaches the receiver. Noise adds unwanted signals that mix with the original message. Both of these issues affect how clear the received signal is. They directly impact the signal-to-noise ratio, which's a key measure of signal quality. Because of this understanding transmission losses and noise is essential when building communication systems that must work well over distances. '''<big>5.1 Characterization of Thermal Noise Sources</big>''' noise is a basic type of noise found in electronic communication systems. It comes from the movement of electric charges inside resistive parts like resistors and other components. This kind of noise is also called Johnson-Nyquist noise. Thermal noise happens when no signal is being sent. Long as the component is above absolute zero temperature this noise will be present. '''<big>Origin of thermal noise</big>''' Electrons inside a conductor are always moving randomly due to heat energy. This motion creates unpredictable changes in voltage and current. These small fluctuations add up. Become part of the overall noise, in a system. They can interfere with the signal being transmitted making it harder to recover the original information. '''Thermal noise power''' The available thermal noise power is expressed as: Pn=KTB Where: * Pn is the available noise power in watts. * K is Boltzmann's constant. * T is absolute temperature in kelvin. * B is noise bandwidth in hertz. The equation shows that thermal noise power is directly proportional to both temperature and bandwidth. If the temperature increases, the thermal noise power also increases. Similarly, increasing the receiver bandwidth allows more noise power to enter the system. '''Thermal noise voltage''' For a resistor R, the mean-square open-circuit thermal noise voltage over bandwidth B is: Vn*2bar= 4KTRB The root-mean-square noise voltage is: Vnrms= rootover(4KTRB) '''Importance, in communication systems''' noise sets a hard lower bound on how weak a signal a receiver can pick up. Because of that thermal noise is a consideration when we design very sensitive radio receivers, amplifiers and all kinds of communication equipment. '''<big>5.2 Effective Noise Temperature and Noise Figure</big>''' Effective Noise Temperature and noise figure are two numbers that help us describe how well communication equipment handles noise. '''Effective Noise Temperature''' Effective Noise Temperature is the temperature of a thermal noise source that would generate the same amount of noise power as the real system does. Effective Noise Temperature gives us a way to show how much noise each electronic component adds. The thermal noise power that comes from a noise temperature is: Pn=KTeB Where: * Te is effective noise temperature. * K is Boltzmann's constant. * B is the bandwidth. Noise temperature is particularly useful in satellite communication, microwave receivers and radio astronomy, where very weak signals must be detected. ==== Noise Figure ==== Noise figure describes how much an electronic device degrades the signal-to-noise ratio as the signal passes through it. The noise factor is defined as: F=SNRin/SNRout where: * SNRin is the input signal to noise ratio. * SNRout id the output signal to noise ratio. '''Importance of noise figure''' Noise figure is used to compare amplifiers and receiver components. A lower noise figure generally indicates that a device introduces additional noise and is more suitable for amplifying weak signals. '''<big>5.3 Transmission Losses</big>''' Transmission loss refers to the reduction in power as an electromagnetic signal travels through a communication medium. It is also commonly associated with attenuation. Several factors contribute to transmission losses, including: '''1. Free-Space Path Loss''' When electromagnetic waves travel through space the received power decreases as the distance, between the transmitter and receiver increases. Free-space path loss is commonly expressed in decibels as Lfs=20log10(4pid/lambda) Where: * d is the distance between transmitter and receiver. * lambda is the wavelength of the transmitted signal. This expression assumes ideal free-space propagation without additional obstacles or atmospheric losses. '''2. Cable Losses''' Signals sent through cables lose power because of resistance and other electrical traits of the cable. These losses can grow as frequency rises. As the cable gets longer. '''3. Absorption Losses''' Some electromagnetic energy may be absorbed by materials in the path, which cuts the energy that reaches the receiver. '''4. Reflection and Scattering Losses''' When electromagnetic waves hit surfaces or objects some energy can bounce back. Scatter in many directions. Reflection and scattering losses can lower the power that arrives along the intended route. Transmission loss, in decibels For a power‑based measurement transmission loss is shown in decibels as: L(dB)=10log10(Pt/Pr) Where: * Pt is transmitted power. * Pr is received power. A larger transmission loss shows a drop in the power of the signal that is received. '''Effect on communication performance''' Transmission loss lowers the strength of the received signal. If the noise level stays the same the signal-to-noise ratio goes down. This can make it harder for the receiver to recover the information accurately. '''<big>5.4 Repeaters for Signal Transmission</big>''' A repeater is a device that extends the transmission distance of a communication system. It receives a signal processes it and sends it again toward the destination. Repeaters are useful when a signal becomes weak because of transmission losses over distances. '''Working principle''' A repeater receives a signal from the transmission channel through an antenna or suitable input connection. The received signal is. Then transmitted again. Depending on the system this may involve amplification, filtering, demodulation and regeneration. '''Types of repeaters''' '''1. Amplifying Repeater''' An amplifying repeater increases the amplitude of the signal. However it also increases the noise that's already in that signal. Therefore an amplifier does not automatically improve the signal-to-noise ratio. '''2. Regenerative Repeater''' A regenerative repeater tries to recover the transmitted information and rebuild a signal. It can reduce the effect of accumulated noise and distortion when the received signal is correctly detected. '''Applications''' * Long-distance radio communication. * Communication networks. * Microwave communication links. * Optical fibre communication systems. * Wireless communication networks. '''Importance of repeaters''' Repeaters help extend the coverage of communication systems and compensate for transmission losses. Their design is important, for keeping signal quality over communication distances. '''<big>6.conclusion</big>''' There are various factors that affect the performance of analog communication systems. These include noise and transmission losses. Different modulation schemes will have different effects from noise due to the characteristics of the signal, bandwidth and receiver. Modulation schemes with linear modulation such as DSB-SC, SSB and conventional AM have a need to be carefully considered when demodulating. Phase-Locked Loops can be used to achieve carrier synchronisation. Angle modulation techniques such as FM can offer better immunity to amplitude noise. FM is affected by the threshold effect. This is why there are limits to how well FM can perform if the received carrier strength is too low. Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis filters can further improve the immunity. Thermal noise, effective noise temperature, noise figure and transmission losses are also important to consider. Repeaters can increase transmission range but depend on whether they are amplifying the signal or regenerating the information. Understanding these concepts will allow engineers to choose the correct modulation scheme, design an efficient receiver and improve reliability in analog communication systems. '''<big>7.

You can find them in everything from smart home appliances and wearables through to industrial automation and IoT applications. They're essentially hardware and software combined to do a job. Traditionally embedded systems have been programmed in C and C++. With the advent of MicroPython however, programming microcontrollers has become a lot easier and more accessible, even for the absolute beginner. MicroPython is a very lightweight implementation of the Python language, specifically designed for microcontrollers and embedded systems. It's a way of writing Python code and talking to the hardware. <nowiki>##</nowiki> What is MicroPython? MicroPython is a pared down, lightweight version of Python, designed for use on microcontrollers. It's not the normal Python that you'd use on a PC or server. It's a version of Python that's been stripped back to the bones in order to run on the very smallest of devices with minimal memory and processing power. It has a number of useful modules which allow you to talk directly to hardware. The machine module for instance is useful for configuring GPIO pins, reading in inputs and so on. One of the big benefits of MicroPython is its simple syntax. If you know Python then you can pretty quickly get to grips with writing code for embedded devices. <nowiki>##</nowiki> Why is MicroPython important in embedded systems? Micropython is important in embedded systems because it allows the use of Python in environments where traditional Python cannot be used. It is a full implementation of the Python language that is specifically designed to run on resource constrained microcontrollers. It is not a' lightweight' version of Python, it is a full Python implementation that has been adapted to run on microcontrollers. It is designed to be used in the same way as Python, and is designed to be as easy to use as Python. It is a great tool for embedded development and is a very powerful tool for the embedded developer. MicroPython makes embedded development much more accessible to the beginner and reduces the amount of complexity involved in writing code to control hardware. Some important advantages include: - Simple programming: its Python-like syntax makes the programs far easier to write, read and maintain. - Hardware interaction: provides modules to control GPIO pins and talk to external hardware. - Rapid prototyping: developers can quickly prototype and then modify the program. - IoT connectivity: supported boards (e.g. ESP32) have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. - Resource efficiency: MicroPython is designed to operate within the very constrained resources of a microcontroller. These features make it very useful for learning, for prototyping and for developing all sorts of embedded applications. <nowiki>##</nowiki> ESP32: A Powerful Platform for MicroPython The ESP32 is a low cost, low power System on Chip (SoC) microcontroller from Espressif. It's very widely used in embedded and IoT projects, primarily due to its wireless capabilities and the range of hardware interfaces it offers. The ESP32 supports MicroPython firmware (so you can program it in a Python-like language). Some important features of ESP32 include: - Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. - Dual core 32bit processor in the more common ESP32 variants. - General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins. - Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). - Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). - Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) - UART, SPI and I2C communication interfaces. - Capacitive touch sensing. These features make the ESP32 ideal for smart home automation, sensor monitoring, wireless communication and a host of other IoT applications. <nowiki>##</nowiki> Getting Started with MicroPython on ESP32 To get going with MicroPython you'll need an ESP32 development board, a USB data cable, a computer and suitable programming software. The basic process involves: 1. Install Python on the computer. 2. Install a Micropython IDE (such as uPyCraft). 3. Download the appropriate MicroPython firmware. 4. Connect the ESP32 board via USB. 5. Flash the firmware onto the ESP32. 6. Writing and uploading Python programs. Once you've completed those steps the ESP32 is ready to run MicroPython code. <nowiki>##</nowiki> Understanding Hardware Interfacing Using MicroPython One of the most important uses of MicroPython is to control external hardware. The ESP32 can interface with a variety of input and output devices. <nowiki>**</nowiki>1. GPIO Interfacing** GPIO pins are used to interface with external devices. They can be set up as either digital inputs or digital outputs. For example an LED can be connected to a GPIO pin and controlled via a MicroPython program. <nowiki>**</nowiki>2. Sensor Interfacing** Sensors gather information from the environment around them. MicroPython can be used to interface different sensors with the ESP32, such as: - IR sensor for object detection. - PIR sensor for motion detection. - DHT11 sensor (for temperature and humidity). - HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor (for distance measurement) <nowiki>**</nowiki>3. Actuator Interfacing** Actuators carry out physical actions in response to instructions from the microcontroller. Examples include: - Servo motors. - DC motors. - LED indicators. - Buzzers. MicroPython enables you to control the devices via the appropriate GPIO and PWM configurations. <nowiki>**</nowiki>4. Display Interfacing** MicroPython can also be used to interface output displays (seven segment displays, I2C LCD modules etc.) to show things like sensor readings and system status. <nowiki>##</nowiki> A Simple Example: LED Blinking Using MicroPython LED blinking is one of the easiest ways of understanding how MicroPython talks to hardware. The following program will simply turn the LED on and off continuously using the ESP32. ```python from machine import Pin from time import sleep led = Pin(2, Pin.OUT) while True:     led.on()     sleep(1)     led.off()     sleep(1) ``` <nowiki>**</nowiki>How does the program work?**** - from machine import Pin (to control the GPIO pins) - import time.sleep from the time module. - Pin(2, Pin.OUT) sets GPIO 2 as an output. - led.on() turns the LED ON. - led.off() turns the LED OFF. - sleep(1) causes a one second delay. The program just loops, so the LED blinks. Note: GPIO 2 is frequently used for the on-board LED on a number of ESP32 dev boards. The actual LED pin will of course vary depending on the board. <nowiki>##</nowiki> MicroPython vs C++ in Embedded Development C++ is the language of choice in embedded systems (mainly due to its speed and the level of control it gives over the hardware). MicroPython is much more suited to prototyping in many cases, with its simpler syntax and much faster development time. MicroPython is generally the easier of the two for the beginner, C++ is the one you'd tend to go for if you're building something that's performance critical and/or where you have a need for very tight resource control. Both languages have their place in embedded development and the choice will depend on the project. <nowiki>##</nowiki> Applications of MicroPython in Real-World Projects MicroPython and the ESP32 can be used in conjunction to create a whole range of useful applications. Some examples include: - Smart home automation (controlling the lights and electricals via wireless). - Environmental monitoring: measuring temperature, humidity and all the other environmental parameters. -Smart agriculture: monitoring the soil and controlling irrigation. - Iot based monitoring: gathering the sensor data and transmitting it over Wi-Fi. - Industrial Automation: developing sensor based monitoring and control prototypes. These apps show off how MicroPython can bridge the gap between software programming and real world hardware solutions. <nowiki>##</nowiki> Challenges and Limitations Although MicroPython makes embedded programming a lot easier it does have its limitations. - It generally executes more slowly than compiled C/C++ programs. - It provides a smaller standard library than regular Python. - Microcontrollers have limited memory and processing resources. - Some advanced hardware applications may require lower-level programming. Therefore, developers should select the programming language according to the performance, memory, and real-time requirements of their projects. <nowiki>##</nowiki> Conclusion MicroPython is making embedded system development more accessible by combining the simplicity of Python with the capabilities of microcontrollers. With platforms such as ESP32, developers can easily experiment with GPIO programming, sensors, actuators, displays, and wireless communication. For students and beginners, MicroPython provides an excellent opportunity to understand how software interacts with physical hardware. It also helps in developing practical projects related to IoT, automation, and smart technology. As embedded systems continue to evolve, knowledge of both MicroPython and traditional embedded programming languages such as C and C++ can help developers build a strong foundation for future technologies. ezve4t3lhnin2uckfgyxr5zxd4ubbol 2 487121 4681473 2026-11-10T18:29:19Z SomyaTech2026 3629912 esp32 its feature 4681473 wikitext text/x-wiki <nowiki>#</nowiki> ESP32 Microcontroller: Architecture, Features, Programming and Applications <nowiki>##</nowiki> Abstract The ESP32 is a powerful low cost and energy efficient microcontroller developed by Espressif Systems.

Instead, I wanted to develop a system in which multiple network services could interact within a coordinated simulated environment, making it more realistic for anyone attempting to explore or access it. This is an independently developed concept and implementation that I have been building as a personal cybersecurity engineering project. It is currently under development, and the architecture and functionality are being improved through experimentation and testing. My main objective is to create an environment that can attract suspicious interactions observed by the actual host systems or sensitive data. # '''''The Idea Behind the Mechanism''''' The original idea came from considering a limitation of conventional honeypots; many provide only a limited simulation of the environment they are supposed to represent. For example, an SSH may record authentication attempts, but it may not provide a convincing representation of the other services that would normally exist on the same network. I wanted to approach this problem differently. My concept is to create multiple simulated services that behave as parts of one interconnected infrastructure. An individual interacting with one service should encounter an environment that maintains consistency with other simulated services. The mechansim is designed around foloowing compomnneyts: a) Multi-service protocol simulation. b) Relaisric service identification and responses. c) Authentication and interaction and responses. d) Centralized activity logging. e) Database-level deception. f) Service environment isolation. g) Virtual environment isolation. h) Controlled defensive responses. # '''''My Development Approach''''' I choose Rust as the primary programming language because of its performance, memory safety characteristics, and support for concurrent network operations. Rather than developing the entire system as one large component, I have been organizing it into functional modules. 3.1 '''''Multiple Service Simulation''''' One of the first things I worked on was creating a mechanism capable of handling different types of network interactions. The services I have been developing include: a) SSH for remote-access interaction and authentication monitoring. b) FTP for file-transfer protocol simulation. c) HTTP and HTTPS for web service and administrative-interface simulation. Each service has its own protocol-specific behavior while contributing to the overall simulated environment. 3.2 '''''Realistic Service Behavior''''' I wanted the environment to appear more convincing than a collection of sources restoring generic or identical responses. For this reason, I have worked on service banners, HTTP response behavior, FTP commands, TLS configuration, and protocol-specific responses. The idea is to maintain consistency between services so that the basic service inspection does not immediately expose obvious simulation characteristics. 3.3 '''''Database Deception''''' Another part of my concept is to extend honeypot interaction beyond ordinary authentication attempts. I have been working towards incorporating database-level interaction using an isolated database environment and synthetic information. The intention is to allow database-related operations to behave realistically enough for suspicious SQL interactions to be studied without exposing genuine records. 3.4 '''''Fingerprint Resistance''''' I also considered how an experienced attacker might identify a honeypot. Service banners, HTTP headers, TLS certificates, error messages, and protocol behavior can all reveal characteristics of a simulated environment. Therefore, I have been developing fingerprinting-resistance techniques focused on maintaining consistent service behaviour and reducing easily detectable differences. This is an ongoing area of development rather than a claim that the environment is impossible to identify. 3.5 '''''Centralized Monitoring''''' Another important part of my design is centralized telemetry. Instead of looking at each connection independently, I want the system to maintain a broader record of interactions across its services. This can help in understanding authentication attempts, service enumeration, HTTP requests, database interactions and repeated suspicious activity. 3.6 '''''Controlled Response Mechanisms''''' I have also included the concepts of tarpitting and blacklisting in the architecture. Tarpitting can introduce controlled delays into suspicious interactions, while blacklisting can be used to restrict repeatedly unwanted sources. These mechanisms are intended to complement the primary objective of observation and analysis. # '''''Security Philosophy''''' An important principle throughout my development process is that a honeypot should not become a vulnerability in the actual system. The simulated environment is intended to use synthetic information and controlled resources. It should not expose real credentials, private files, genuine database records, or sensitive host information. I consider isolation and information protection essential parts of the design, rather than features that should be added at the end. # '''''Current Development and Future Direction''''' This project is being developed incrementally.

Instead, I wanted to develop a system in which multiple network services could interact within a coordinated simulated environment, making it more realistic for anyone attempting to explore or access it. This is an independently developed concept and implementation that I have been building as a personal cybersecurity engineering project. It is currently under development, and the architecture and functionality are being improved through experimentation and testing. My main objective is to create an environment that can attract suspicious interactions observed by the actual host systems or sensitive data. # '''''The Idea Behind the Mechanism''''' The original idea came from considering a limitation of conventional honeypots; many provide only a limited simulation of the environment they are supposed to represent. For example, an SSH may record authentication attempts, but it may not provide a convincing representation of the other services that would normally exist on the same network. I wanted to approach this problem differently. My concept is to create multiple simulated services that behave as parts of one interconnected infrastructure. An individual interacting with one service should encounter an environment that maintains consistency with other simulated services. The mechansim is designed around foloowing compomnneyts: a) Multi-service protocol simulation. b) Relaisric service identification and responses. c) Authentication and interaction and responses. d) Centralized activity logging. e) Database-level deception. f) Service environment isolation. g) Virtual environment isolation. h) Controlled defensive responses. # '''''My Development Approach''''' I choose Rust as the primary programming language because of its performance, memory safety characteristics, and support for concurrent network operations. Rather than developing the entire system as one large component, I have been organizing it into functional modules. 3.1 '''''Multiple Service Simulation''''' One of the first things I worked on was creating a mechanism capable of handling different types of network interactions. The services I have been developing include: a) SSH for remote-access interaction and authentication monitoring. b) FTP for file-transfer protocol simulation. c) HTTP and HTTPS for web service and administrative-interface simulation. Each service has its own protocol-specific behavior while contributing to the overall simulated environment. 3.2 '''''Realistic Service Behavior''''' I wanted the environment to appear more convincing than a collection of sources restoring generic or identical responses. For this reason, I have worked on service banners, HTTP response behavior, FTP commands, TLS configuration, and protocol-specific responses. The idea is to maintain consistency between services so that the basic service inspection does not immediately expose obvious simulation characteristics. 3.3 '''''Database Deception''''' Another part of my concept is to extend honeypot interaction beyond ordinary authentication attempts. I have been working towards incorporating database-level interaction using an isolated database environment and synthetic information. The intention is to allow database-related operations to behave realistically enough for suspicious SQL interactions to be studied without exposing genuine records. 3.4 '''''Fingerprint Resistance''''' I also considered how an experienced attacker might identify a honeypot. Service banners, HTTP headers, TLS certificates, error messages, and protocol behavior can all reveal characteristics of a simulated environment. Therefore, I have been developing fingerprinting-resistance techniques focused on maintaining consistent service behaviour and reducing easily detectable differences. This is an ongoing area of development rather than a claim that the environment is impossible to identify. 3.5 '''''Centralized Monitoring''''' Another important part of my design is centralized telemetry. Instead of looking at each connection independently, I want the system to maintain a broader record of interactions across its services. This can help in understanding authentication attempts, service enumeration, HTTP requests, database interactions and repeated suspicious activity. 3.6 '''''Controlled Response Mechanisms''''' I have also included the concepts of tarpitting and blacklisting in the architecture. Tarpitting can introduce controlled delays into suspicious interactions, while blacklisting can be used to restrict repeatedly unwanted sources. These mechanisms are intended to complement the primary objective of observation and analysis. # '''''Security Philosophy''''' An important principle throughout my development process is that a honeypot should not become a vulnerability in the actual system. The simulated environment is intended to use synthetic information and controlled resources. It should not expose real credentials, private files, genuine database records, or sensitive host information. I consider isolation and information protection essential parts of the design, rather than features that should be added at the end. # '''''Current Development and Future Direction''''' This project is being developed incrementally. Individual services and their behaviors are being implemented, tested, and improved as the architecture evolves. My future objectives include improving the consistency of service interactions, strengthening the monitoring mechanism, expanding database deception, improving fingerprinting resistance, and developing more detailed behavioural analysis. I also intend to investigate how information collected across different simulated services can be correlated to produce a better understanding of an attacker's activities. # '''''Conclusion''''' The central idea is to combine multiple realistic network services, coordinated behavior, interaction monitoring, and controlled isolation within a single system.Rather than treating a honeypot simply as a listening service, I want to develop it as an interactive simulated infrastructure that can provide meaningful observations about suspicious network activity.

One of the first industrial robots was Unimate, which was introduced in 1961. With the development of technology and Artificial Intelligence, robots have become much more advanced. Nowadays, robots are used in hospitals, industries, space exploration and even in our homes. Modern humanoid robots are designed to look and move like humans and can perform different types of tasks. I think robotics is one of the most interesting technologies because it reduces human effort and makes difficult work easier. In the future, robots may become even smarter and work alongside humans in many fields. However, they still need improvements in terms of cost, safety and decision-making. Overall, robotics has a very bright future and it will play an important role in our daily lives. i4mn0dwxmedl2r2g2ucrlndd8mfs0yt 1 487124 4681508 2026-11-10T19:57:30Z ~2026-59556-77 3631026 Created page with "{| class="wikitable" |+ Caption text |- !

A robot is differ from other machine because of its ability to sense (using sensor), compute/think (process the data) and execute the task/work. Robotics is a Multidisciplinary branch which include combination of following branch: * Mechanical Engineering: The physical design, kinematics, dynamics, and materials. * Electrical Engineering: The sensors, actuators, circuits, and power systems. * Computer Science and Applied Math: The control algorithms, planning, and artificial intelligence. "A robot is mechanically constructed by connecting a set of bodies, called links, to each other using various types of joints. Actuators, such as electric motors, deliver forces or torques that cause the robot's links to move. Usually an end-effector, such as a gripper or hand for grasping and manipulating objects, is attached to a specific link. All the robots considered in this book have links that can be modeled as rigid bodies." From the Book ''Modern Robotics''. Now a days there is talk about AI and Robots, they both become part of every day life. From student to employee, every person rely on AI, though it will take some time to robots to come in normal human life but they are growing in market rapidly. == Mathematical Foundations and Kinematics == This section introduces to mathematical language required to model robots. To pick or place something robot use raw math. this introduce to coordinate frames - explaining that robots needs a defined Base frame and an end-effector (hand or tool) frame to navigate the physical world. === Forward Kinematics: "where is my hand?" === F.K. helps robot to know where its end-effector is in physical world, using robots joint angles. === Inverse Kinematics: "How do I get there?" === I.K. is opposite of F.K., its let robot to know how to get to that position, like when we tell robot to move to X:5,Y:10 then robot calculate its joints angle and know how much it should move. === The speed limit: Differential Kinematics === Position is great, but movement requires speed. Briefly introduce the Jacobian, it is the mathematical that connects motor speed (how fast the joints spin) to hand speed (how fast the gripper moves through the air) == Mechanical Design and Hardware == * Actuators and Joints: Performance characteristics of electric motors (DC, stepper, servo), pneumatic, and hydraulic systems. Detail the physical constraints and design of revolute and prismatic joints. * Sensors and Perception: Category of internal state sensors (optical encoders, resolvers for joint position) and external sensors (IMUs, force-torque sensors, LiDAR, vision systems). * Manipulator Geometry: Discussion of mechanical rigidity, payload-to-weight ratios, and workspace optimization based on physical arm geometry. 0vr7yiq00bwfrjik0utbvyvugsm0dep 0 487126 4681518 2026-11-10T21:48:12Z Badarap 3631033 Added Tigre 10 sentences 4681518 wikitext text/x-wiki === الدرس 6: جمل جديدة === '''101.''' * Tigre: አነ ሰኒ ስፍሩይ ህሌኮ * العربية: انا جائع جدا * English: I am very hungry * Français: J'ai très faim * Deutsch: Ich habe sehr Hunger * Русский: Я очень голоден * Português: Estou com muita fome * Español: Tengo mucha hambre * Türkçe: Çok açım * Svenska: Jag är väldigt hungrig '''102.''' * Tigre: ሐሰብከ ማይ ስቴ * العربية: اشرب الماء من فضلك * English: Drink water please * Français: Bois de l'eau s'il te plaît * Deutsch: Trink bitte Wasser * Русский: Выпей воды, пожалуйста * Português: Bebe água, por favor * Español: Bebe agua, por favor * Türkçe: Lütfen su iç * Svenska: Drick vatten, tack '''103.''' * Tigre: ምድር ዮም ሕፉን ሀለ * العربية: الجو حار اليوم * English: The weather is hot today * Français: Il fait chaud aujourd'hui * Deutsch: Das Wetter ist heute heiß * Русский: Сегодня жаркая погода * Português: O tempo está quente hoje * Español: Hoy hace calor * Türkçe: Bugün hava sıcak * Svenska: Det är varmt idag '''104.''' * Tigre: ለባብ ክሱት ሀለ * العربية: الباب مفتوح * English: The door is open * Français: La porte est ouverte * Deutsch: Die Tür ist offen * Русский: Дверь открыта * Português: A porta está aberta * Español: La puerta está abierta * Türkçe: Kapı açık * Svenska: Dörren är öppen '''105.''' * Tigre: አቡዬ አየ ጌሰ? * العربية: اين ذهب ابي؟ * English: Where did my father go? * Français: Où est allé mon père ? * Deutsch: Wohin ist mein Vater gegangen? * Русский: Куда ушел мой отец? * Português: Para onde foi meu pai? * Español: ¿Dónde fue mi padre? * Türkçe: Babam nereye gitti? * Svenska: Vart gick min pappa?

Inside a microcontroller == [[File:Microcontroller block diagram generic.svg|thumb|center|600px|'''Figure 1: Simplified block diagram of a typical microcontroller.''' The CPU core, Flash, SRAM, timers, ADC, interrupt controller, serial peripherals and GPIO ports all sit on one chip and communicate over an internal bus. Pins at the bottom connect to the outside world (buttons, LEDs, sensors, motors). ''Original diagram created for this book (CC BY-SA 4.0); a generalised illustration, not the exact layout of any one part.'']] The ATmega328P datasheet shows the exact internal architecture, memory sizes and peripheral list for that chip.<ref name="atmega-ds" /> * '''CPU core''' – fetches, decodes and executes instructions. The ATmega328P uses an 8-bit AVR core. * '''Flash memory''' – non-volatile storage for your program. It survives power loss. * '''SRAM''' – fast volatile memory for variables and the stack. * '''EEPROM''' – small non-volatile memory for settings and calibration data. * '''GPIO''' – General Purpose Input/Output pins you control from software. * '''Timers/Counters''' – measure time, generate delays and PWM signals. * '''ADC''' – converts analog voltages (sensors) to numbers. * '''Interrupt controller''' – lets hardware events pre-empt the main program. * '''Communication peripherals''' – UART, I2C, SPI, USB, CAN. * '''Clock and reset logic''' – oscillator, power-on reset, watchdog timer.

Your first circuit: driving an LED == [[File:LED driven by microcontroller pin circuit.svg|thumb|center|600px|'''Figure 3: Circuit diagram of an LED driven by a microcontroller pin.''' Pin PB5 (Arduino D13) sources current through the 330 Ω resistor R1 into the LED, and the current returns to ground. HIGH (5 V) turns the LED on; LOW (0 V) turns it off. ''Original circuit diagram created for this book (CC BY-SA 4.0).'']] An LED is a diode. If you connect it directly to a pin, current is limited only by the pin's tiny internal resistance and the LED (or the pin) will burn out. Always add a series resistor. '''Resistor calculation (Ohm's law)''' <math>R = \frac{V_{CC} - V_F}{I_F}</math> With V_CC = 5 V, a red LED forward voltage V_F ≈ 2 V and a target current of 10 mA: <math>R = \frac{5 - 2}{0.010} = 300\ \Omega</math> The nearest standard value is '''330 Ω''', giving I = 3 V / 330 Ω ≈ 9.1 mA. This is safe, since an AVR pin is specified for roughly 20 mA in normal use (check the datasheet's absolute maximum ratings for your chip, and never exceed the total package limit).<ref name="atmega-ds" /> The calculation is simply Ohm's law applied to the voltage left across the resistor.<ref name="wp-ohm" /> === Parts list === {| class="wikitable" !

Each frame shows the state of pin PB5 and the LED: HIGH (5 V) lights the LED, LOW (0 V) turns it off. In the real program the state changes every 500 ms. ''Original animation created for this book (CC BY-SA 4.0).'']] == 4. Programming it == === 4.1 The Arduino way === <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> const uint8_t LED_PIN = 13; // PB5 on the Uno void setup() { pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH); delay(500); digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW); delay(500); } </syntaxhighlight> This is easy to read but hides what the hardware does, and <code>delay()</code> freezes the whole program. Professional firmware avoids blocking delays. === 4.2 Bare metal: talking to registers === Every peripheral is controlled by '''registers''', which are special memory locations.

Purpose |- | <code>DDRB</code> || Data Direction: 1 = output, 0 = input |- | <code>PORTB</code> || Output value (or pull-up enable for inputs) |- | <code>PINB</code> || Read the pin state; writing 1 toggles the output |} <syntaxhighlight lang="c"> #include <avr/io.h> #include <util/delay.h> #define F_CPU 16000000UL int main(void) { DDRB |= (1 << DDB5); // PB5 as output for (;;) { PORTB ^= (1 << PORTB5); // toggle LED _delay_ms(500); } } </syntaxhighlight> '''Bit-manipulation cheat sheet''' (you will use these every day): {| class="wikitable" ! Goal !! C idiom |- | Set bit n || <code>REG |= (1 << n);</code> |- | Clear bit n || <code>REG &= ~(1 << n);</code> |- | Toggle bit n || <code>REG ^= (1 << n);</code> |- | Test bit n || <code>if (REG & (1 << n)) { ... }</code> |} == 5. Reading a button correctly == Inputs must never be left floating. Use a pull-up resistor so the pin has a defined level. The ATmega has internal pull-ups you enable in software. <syntaxhighlight lang="c"> DDRD &= ~(1 << DDD2); // PD2 as input PORTD |= (1 << PORTD2); // enable internal pull-up // Button wired between PD2 and GND: pressed = 0, released = 1 </syntaxhighlight> === Debouncing === Mechanical switches bounce for a few milliseconds, producing many false edges. A simple software fix is to accept a new state only after it has been stable for a set time (for example 20 ms). <syntaxhighlight lang="c"> #include <stdbool.h> #include <stdint.h> #define DEBOUNCE_MS 20 bool read_button_debounced(bool raw, uint32_t now_ms) { static bool stable_state = false; static bool last_raw = false; static uint32_t last_change = 0; if (raw != last_raw) { // input changed, restart the timer last_raw = raw; last_change = now_ms; } if ((now_ms - last_change) >= DEBOUNCE_MS) { stable_state = last_raw; // stable long enough, accept it } return stable_state; } </syntaxhighlight> == 6. Timers and non-blocking time == A '''timer''' is a hardware counter driven by the clock. Instead of wasting the CPU in <code>delay()</code>, let a timer interrupt count milliseconds, then compare timestamps. <syntaxhighlight lang="c"> #include <avr/io.h> #include <avr/interrupt.h> volatile uint32_t g_millis = 0; void timer0_init(void) { TCCR0A = (1 << WGM01); // CTC mode OCR0A = 249; // 16 MHz / 64 / 250 = 1 kHz TIMSK0 = (1 << OCIE0A); // enable compare-match interrupt TCCR0B = (1 << CS01) | (1 << CS00); // prescaler = 64 sei(); // enable global interrupts } ISR(TIMER0_COMPA_vect) { g_millis++; // runs every 1 ms } </syntaxhighlight> Now a non-blocking blinker looks like this: <syntaxhighlight lang="c"> uint32_t last = 0; for (;;) { uint32_t now; cli(); now = g_millis; sei(); // atomic read of a 32-bit value on an 8-bit CPU if (now - last >= 500) { last = now; PORTB ^= (1 << PORTB5); } /* the CPU is free to do other work here */ } </syntaxhighlight> '''Interrupt rules of thumb''' * Keep an ISR short: set a flag or copy data, then return. * Variables shared with an ISR must be declared <code>volatile</code>. * Multi-byte values need atomic access, as shown above. * Never call blocking functions (delays, long prints) inside an ISR. == 7. Reading the real world: the ADC == The 10-bit ADC maps 0 – V_ref to the values 0 – 1023. <math>V_{in} = \frac{ADC \times V_{ref}}{1024}</math> Example: a reading of 512 with V_ref = 5 V gives about 2.5 V. <syntaxhighlight lang="cpp"> const uint8_t SENSOR_PIN = A0; void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); } void loop() { int raw = analogRead(SENSOR_PIN); float volts = raw * 5.0f / 1024.0f; Serial.println(volts, 3); delay(100); } </syntaxhighlight> '''Practical tip:''' noisy readings are common. Average several samples, or use a first-order low-pass filter: <code>filtered = filtered + 0.1 * (raw - filtered);</code> == 8. Talking to other chips: UART, I2C and SPI == {| class="wikitable" ! Feature !! UART !! I2C !! SPI |- | Wires || 2 (TX, RX) || 2 (SDA, SCL) + pull-ups || 4+ (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS per device) |- | Clock || Asynchronous (agreed baud rate) || Synchronous, shared || Synchronous, shared |- | Devices || Point to point || Many, each with an address || Many, one CS line each |- | Typical speed || 9.6 kbps – 1 Mbps || 100 kHz – 1 MHz || 1 – 50+ MHz |- | Used for || Debug console, GPS, Bluetooth modules || Sensors, RTC, EEPROM || Displays, SD cards, fast ADCs |} '''Choosing:''' use I2C when you want few wires and many slow devices; SPI when you need speed; UART for simple point-to-point links and logging.<ref name="i2c" /><ref name="wp-spi" /> Speeds in the table are typical ranges; exact limits depend on the specific chips. == 9. Writing firmware the way industry does == === 9.1 Use a state machine === Instead of tangled <code>if</code> statements, model behaviour as states and events. This is easy to test and reason about. <syntaxhighlight lang="c"> typedef enum { ST_IDLE, ST_HEATING, ST_HOLD, ST_ERROR } state_t; state_t step(state_t s, float temp_c, bool fault) { if (fault) return ST_ERROR; // safety check wins from any state switch (s) { case ST_IDLE: return (temp_c < 60.0f) ? ST_HEATING : ST_IDLE; case ST_HEATING: return (temp_c >= 80.0f) ? ST_HOLD : ST_HEATING; case ST_HOLD: return (temp_c < 75.0f) ? ST_HEATING : ST_HOLD; case ST_ERROR: return ST_ERROR; // latched until reset } return ST_ERROR; } </syntaxhighlight> === 9.2 Layer your code === <pre> Application logic (what the product does) ------------------- Drivers / HAL (uart_send(), adc_read(), gpio_write()) ------------------- Hardware registers </pre> Application code never touches registers directly. If you change chips, only the driver layer changes. === 9.3 Protect against lock-ups: the watchdog === A '''watchdog timer''' resets the MCU if the software stops "feeding" it. This is standard practice in commercial and safety-related products.<ref name="ganssle" /><ref name="avrlibc" /> <syntaxhighlight lang="c"> #include <avr/wdt.h> wdt_enable(WDTO_2S); // reset if not refreshed within 2 seconds for (;;) { do_work(); wdt_reset(); // "kick the dog" only when everything is healthy } </syntaxhighlight> === 9.4 Save power === Battery products spend most of their life asleep. * Sleep between events and wake on an interrupt or timer. * Turn off unused peripherals. * Lower the clock speed when full speed is not needed. * Remember: average current × time determines battery life. A device drawing 5 mA for 10 ms once a second and 5 µA otherwise averages about 55 µA, which is roughly 4 years on a 2000 mAh cell in theory (before self-discharge). === 9.5 Quality checklist === The items below are widely recommended in industry coding guidelines.<ref name="barr" /><ref name="misra" /> {| class="wikitable" ! Practice !! Why |- | Follow a coding standard (for example MISRA C) || Fewer undefined behaviours and portable code |- | Use fixed-width types (<code>uint8_t</code>, <code>int32_t</code>) || Size is the same on every compiler |- | Avoid dynamic memory (<code>malloc</code>) || Fragmentation and failures after days of running |- | Version control (Git) and code review || Traceability and fewer bugs |- | Unit-test logic on a PC || Faster than debugging on hardware |- | Static analysis and compiler warnings on || Catches bugs before they ship |- | Read the datasheet and errata || Chips have documented quirks |- | Add decoupling capacitors (100 nF at every supply pin) || Prevents random resets and noise |} == 10. Debugging toolbox == * '''Serial prints''' – quick, but they change timing. * '''LED/GPIO toggling plus oscilloscope or logic analyser''' – measures real timing. * '''Hardware debugger (SWD/JTAG, debugWIRE)''' – breakpoints and register view. * '''Multimeter''' – always check the supply voltage and ground first. * Common bugs: floating inputs, missing <code>volatile</code>, stack overflow, wrong baud rate, forgotten pull-ups on I2C, shared ground missing between boards. == 11. Mini project ideas == # '''Traffic light controller''' using three LEDs and a state machine. # '''Temperature logger''' with an analog sensor, ADC averaging and UART output. # '''PWM dimmer''' using a timer and a potentiometer. # '''Digital thermometer display''' using an I2C sensor and an I2C OLED. # '''Low-power door sensor''' that sleeps until a reed switch interrupt. == 12. Exercises == # Calculate the resistor needed for a blue LED (V_F = 3.0 V) from a 5 V supply at 8 mA. Which standard E12 value would you pick? # Write the C statements to set PB0 and PB3 as outputs and PB1 as an input with pull-up, without changing the other pins. # A timer runs from a 16 MHz clock with prescaler 256. What compare value gives a 100 Hz interrupt? # An ADC reads 768 on a 10-bit scale with a 3.3 V reference. What is the input voltage? # Why is <code>volatile</code> needed for <code>g_millis</code>? What bug could appear if it were missing? # Why should an ISR be short? Give two reasons. === Answers === {{hidden begin|title=Click to show answers}} # R = (5 − 3.0) / 0.008 = 250 Ω. The nearest standard E12 value is 270 Ω (≈ 7.4 mA), which is also safe. # <code>DDRB |= (1&lt;&lt;DDB0) | (1&lt;&lt;DDB3); DDRB &amp;= ~(1&lt;&lt;DDB1); PORTB |= (1&lt;&lt;PORTB1);</code> # 16 000 000 / 256 = 62 500 ticks per second. For 100 Hz, 62 500 / 100 = 625 ticks, so OCR = 625 − 1 = 624 (needs a 16-bit timer). # V = 768 × 3.3 / 1024 ≈ 2.475 V. # Without <code>volatile</code> the compiler may keep the value in a register inside the main loop and never see the ISR's updates, so the loop would behave as if time never advanced. # Long ISRs delay other interrupts (jitter, missed events), and they can overrun the stack or break the timing of the main program. {{hidden end}} == Glossary == {| class="wikitable" !

(''Reflexivverben'') are verbs accompanied by a reflexive pronoun (''Reflexivpronomen''). The pronoun generally refers back to the subject of the sentence. Reflexive constructions can express several different relationships: # An action performed by the subject upon themselves. # An action performed reciprocally between multiple subjects. # An idiomatic or figurative meaning in which the reflexive pronoun is grammatically required or changes the meaning of the verb. ==== Reflexive Actions ==== When someone performs an action upon themselves, the reflexive pronoun refers to the same person as the grammatical subject. For example: * Ich wasche mich. → I wash myself. * Du kämmst dich. → You comb your hair. * Er rasiert sich. → He shaves himself. * Sie schminkt sich. → She puts on makeup. The reflexive pronoun changes according to the person and grammatical case. ===== Accusative Reflexive Pronouns ===== {| class="wikitable" !Person!!Reflexive Pronoun!!Example |- |ich||mich||Ich wasche mich. |- |du||dich||Du wäschst dich. |- |er/sie/es||sich||Er wäscht sich. |- |wir||uns||Wir waschen uns. |- |ihr||euch||Ihr wascht euch. |- |sie/Sie||sich||Sie waschen sich. |} ===== Dative Reflexive Pronouns ===== When the sentence contains another direct object, particularly a body part, the reflexive pronoun frequently takes the dative case. For example: * Ich putze mir die Zähne. → I brush my teeth. * Du wäschst dir das Gesicht. → You wash your face. * Er kämmt sich die Haare. → He combs his hair. {| class="wikitable" !Person!!Dative Reflexive Pronoun |- |ich||mir |- |du||dir |- |er/sie/es||sich |- |wir||uns |- |ihr||euch |- |sie/Sie||sich |} Notice that the body part is the direct object (accusative), while the person receiving the action is represented by the dative reflexive pronoun. ==== Reciprocal Verbs ==== Reflexive pronouns can also express reciprocal relationships, meaning that two or more people perform an action toward one another. For example: * Wir sehen uns. → We see each other. * Wir helfen uns. → We help each other. * Sie lieben sich. → They love each other. * Die beiden Freunde verstehen sich gut. → The two friends get along well. In these examples, the pronoun does not mean that the subject performs an action upon themselves. Instead, it expresses a relationship between multiple subjects. ==== Figurative and Idiomatic Reflexive Verbs ==== Some German verbs use reflexive pronouns even when their meanings do not describe a literal action performed upon oneself. For example: * sich verstehen → to understand one another; to get along * sich freuen → to be happy; to look forward to something * sich interessieren für + Akk. → to be interested in something * sich erinnern an + Akk. → to remember something * sich vorstellen → to imagine something; to introduce oneself * sich beeilen → to hurry * sich befinden → to be situated; to be located * sich kümmern um + Akk. → to take care of something or someone Consider the following examples: * Ich interessiere mich für Musik. → I am interested in music. * Ich erinnere mich an meinen Geburtstag. → I remember my birthday. * Wir freuen uns auf die Ferien. → We are looking forward to the holidays. * Ich stelle mir ein großes Haus vor. → I imagine a large house. These expressions should be learned as complete verb constructions, including their reflexive pronouns and associated prepositions. ==== Word Order ==== In ordinary German main clauses, the conjugated verb occupies the second position, while the reflexive pronoun generally follows it. For example: * Ich wasche mich jeden Morgen. * Du ziehst dich schnell an. * Wir freuen uns auf das Wochenende. With separable reflexive verbs, the reflexive pronoun remains near the conjugated verb, while the separable prefix moves to the end. For example: * Ich ziehe mich um sieben Uhr an. * Du ruhst dich nach der Schule aus. == Übungen == === Mein Tagesablauf === {{stub}} * Vocabulary matching: daily activities and their translations. * Conjugation: present-tense and reflexive verbs. * Sentence construction: rearranging words into correct German sentences. * Translation: describing daily routines in German. * Reading comprehension: understanding someone's daily schedule. * Listening comprehension: identifying activities and times. * Writing: describing one's own daily routine. * Speaking: asking and answering questions about daily habits. === Wie sieht dein Tag aus? === {{German/Exercise|Mein Tagesablauf|'''Beantworten''' Sie die folgenden Fragen auf Deutsch: # Wann stehst du normalerweise auf? # Was machst du morgens? # Wie oft treibst du Sport? # Wann gehst du zur Schule? # Was machst du nach der Schule? # Wann gehst du ins Bett?| }} <noinclude>{{German/Level I/Footer}}</noinclude> {{BookCat}} dtnbx0617whrq1nvbbfbzi7gtc7197w 2 487130 4681550 2026-11-11T07:01:11Z Muhammed sinan 6239 3631060 Created page with "Biotechnology and Modern Medicine: Changing How We Care for Health 1.

Introduction Biotechnology means using living organisms, cells, and biological systems to make useful products and technologies. It shows up in farming, industry, and environmental protection, but its biggest impact is probably in healthcare. Medicine has come a long way because of it. Not long ago, many diseases were hard to spot and harder to treat. Now scientists can catch illnesses early, design better medicines, and develop vaccines that prevent infections before they start. We can even study human DNA to see how genes shape our health. Together, biotechnology and medicine are making diagnosis and treatment more accurate, more effective, and easier for people to access.2. History of Biotechnology Biotechnology is older than most people think. Thousands of years ago, people were already using microorganisms to make bread, cheese, and drinks through fermentation. The modern version, though, grew out of discoveries in biology and genetics. A major early moment was Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin in 1928, which opened the era of antibiotics and gave doctors a real way to fight bacterial infections. In 1953, the structure of DNA was worked out, showing how genetic information is stored and passed from one generation to the next. By the 1970s, genetic engineering had become a serious field, with scientists learning to modify DNA to produce useful substances. This led to a breakthrough in 1982, when human insulin made by genetically modified bacteria was approved for medical use. Today the field covers genetic engineering, stem cell research, tissue engineering, molecular diagnostics, and advanced vaccine development. 3. Applications of Biotechnology in Medicine Biotechnology helps in several ways: developing medicines, diagnosing disease, and improving treatments. A. Vaccines Vaccines train the immune system to recognize and fight harmful microorganisms. Biotechnology has made them safer and more targeted, with newer types such as recombinant and mRNA vaccines. B. Insulin Insulin controls blood sugar, and many people with diabetes depend on it. Today it can be produced using genetically modified microorganisms, which has made it easier to produce and more widely available. C. Antibiotics and Other Medicines Researchers use microorganisms, cells, and biological processes to discover and produce medicines. This also includes biological drugs like therapeutic proteins and antibodies. D. Cancer Treatment Targeted therapies and immunotherapies are good examples. They work either by going after specific features of cancer cells or by helping the immune system do its job. E. Genetic Testing These tests can find DNA changes linked to inherited diseases. That helps doctors understand a person's health risks and make better decisions. 4. Genetic Engineering in Healthcare Genetic engineering means modifying an organism's genetic material. It lets scientists study genes and work toward treatments for certain diseases. Gene therapy is one key use. The idea is to treat or prevent disease by adding, replacing, or changing genetic material inside a patient's cells. Some inherited disorders are caused by changes in a single gene, and gene therapies have now been developed for a few of these conditions, which gives patients new options. CRISPR is another major development. This gene-editing tool lets scientists make precise changes to DNA. It's become an important research tool and is starting to be used in some treatments. Still, genetic engineering needs careful testing and serious ethical thought to keep patients safe. 5. Biotechnology in Disease Diagnosis Catching a disease early and correctly makes a big difference in treatment. Biotechnology has improved diagnosis by letting doctors work with samples like blood, saliva, and tissue. Molecular diagnostics can detect the genetic material of viruses and bacteria. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a well-known example and is widely used to identify infectious diseases. DNA testing can also reveal inherited conditions, and some newer lab tests can pick up certain diseases before serious symptoms appear. All of this helps doctors make informed choices and pick the right treatment. 6. Role of Biotechnology in Vaccine Development Vaccines protect people from infectious diseases, and biotechnology has made developing them faster and more advanced. Traditional vaccines usually use weakened or inactive forms of a microorganism, or parts of it, to prompt an immune response. Modern methods have added recombinant vaccines, which use specific proteins made through biotechnology, and mRNA vaccines, which give the body's cells instructions to make a harmless protein that triggers immunity. The COVID-19 pandemic showed how valuable this technology is. Using several different approaches, scientists developed and produced vaccines in a remarkably short time. Biotechnology continues to support work on vaccines for new and emerging infectious diseases. 7. Advantages of Biotechnology in Modern Medicine Biotechnology benefits healthcare in many ways: 1. Early disease detection: Advanced diagnostics can spot diseases at an early stage. 2. Better treatment: It supports effective medicines and advanced therapies. 3.

Introduction''' Electronic systems have changed considerably over the years. Earlier, many simple control applications were developed using fixed electronic circuits. As applications became more advanced, programmable devices such as microcontrollers and microprocessors became popular because they allowed engineers to control hardware through software. However, certain applications require more than ordinary instruction-based processing. For example, an industrial machine may need to collect information from several sensors, monitor its operating conditions, and control different motors without introducing unnecessary delays. Handling all these operations through a single processing sequence can create performance limitations. This is where FPGA technology becomes useful. An FPGA provides a programmable hardware environment in which engineers can create circuits that perform specific operations. Instead of only changing the instructions executed by a processor, the designer can change the actual digital hardware structure.https://circuitdigest.com/tutorial/what-is-fpga-introduction-and-programming-tools '''2. Fundamentals of FPGA Technology''' An FPGA-based embedded system combines this configurable hardware with the input devices, memory, communication interfaces, and control elements required by an application. Such a combination is useful in situations where processing speed, parallel operation, and precise timing are important. An FPGA can be understood as a chip that allows engineers to build their own digital circuits using the hardware resources already available inside it. These resources can be connected in different ways depending on the function required by the electronic system. To understand this, consider a simple digital counter. A counter needs logic gates to calculate the next value and flip-flops to store its current value. An engineer can describe this circuit using Verilog and configure an FPGA to perform the counting operation whenever a clock signal is received. The same device can also be configured for other functions, such as frequency measurement, signal monitoring or digital communication. The designer does not need to manufacture a separate chip for every circuit design. FPGA development therefore involves both programming and hardware design. Engineers must understand how digital circuits operate before implementing them. This makes FPGA technology useful in embedded applications that require customized hardware functions.<ref>AMD, FPGA Architecture – UG1291. Official documentation..</ref> '''3.FPGA Internal Architecture''' [[https://circuitdigest.com/tutorial/what-is-fpga-introduction-and-programming-tools]] The internal structure of an FPGA consists of several programmable components arranged to support different digital circuit designs. Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) perform the required logical operations, while the switch matrices establish connections between these blocks. Input/Output Blocks (IOBs), located around the outer region of the device, allow signals to enter and leave the FPGA. These components work together to create the required hardware functionality. Main components shown in the figure: - Configurable Logic Block (CLB): Responsible for implementing digital functions using programmable logic resources. - Switch Matrix (SM): Controls the signal paths between different CLBs and other internal resources. - Input/Output Block (IOB): Acts as an interface between the FPGA's internal circuits and external devices such as sensors, displays and other electronic components.<ref>AMD, 7 Series FPGAs Configurable Logic Block User Guide – UG474.

Design and Programming of FPGA-Based Systems''' [[https://hardwarebee.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/FPGA-design-flow.png]] The development of an FPGA-based system begins with preparing the circuit design using a Hardware Description Language (HDL), such as Verilog or VHDL. The written design is first examined through simulation to check whether the circuit produces the expected results. After this stage, synthesis converts the design into a logic representation that can be implemented using the available FPGA resources. During implementation, the required logic blocks and connections are arranged within the device. Timing analysis is also performed to check whether the circuit meets its operating requirements. Once these stages are completed, a bitstream file is generated and transferred to the FPGA board. The programmed board is then tested to verify that the designed circuit works correctly in real hardware. <ref>AMD, Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Design Flows Overview – UG892.
