Elektor Magazine looks back on a challenging but ultimately successful second pandemic year in 2021. Despite the chip crisis and difficulties with sourcing components and modules, the electronics industry is poised to emerge stronger from the crisis with more modern, digital management and creative ways of working and experiencing things online. The 2020s will be a decade of electronics, and Elektor will be here to keep you up to date on the latest trends and innovations.

In our January/February issue, we will be focusing on motor control technology, with in-depth articles by Mathias Claußen, Dr. Thomas Scherer, and Stuart Cording. And don't miss our accompanying webinar on the topic in February. The March/April edition will cover embedded development, and later in the year, we have articles planned on IoT (May/June) and measurement and testing solutions (July/August).

Our summer 2022 issue will feature dozens of innovative circuits, and we welcome contributions from our community. In the September/October issue, we'll delve into the hot topic of wireless technologies, and as always, we'll close out the year with a focus on electronics production. Plus, we have a special eighth issue planned, but for now, the details are top secret. Keep an eye out for updates!

In addition to our print magazine, we'll be delivering even more online content in 2022, including electronics projects, "how-to" engineering tutorials, helpful Elektor TV videos, and more. On behalf of the Elektor team, we wish you and your family a happy, healthy, and successful new year.
