The July/August 2014 Jumbo edition of Elektor magazine is now available for download for GREEN and GOLD members at the Elektor.MAGAZINE website! In accordance with Elektor’s summertime tradition of providing loads of content, our July & August edition has twice the amount of content, totaling 130-odd pages of projects, designs and news!

A highlight of this “project generator” edition is our IO-Warrior Extension Board, which is a multifunctional board with a vast number of inputs and outputs, making it ideal … via a PC.

For the musically inclined, there’s a Guitar Stage Tuner project that will guarantee you’re always sounding your best. This innovative project uses a fast Cortex ARM M4 processor and a special frequency analysis algorithm.

Want some help with your summer home improvement projects? We’ll explain how to make a Spirit Level Acoustic Aid. It’s an affordable alternative to the pricey optical and acoustical levels on the market.

Of course, there will be those of you who might want to spend some time indoors with the AC cranked up: don’t think we’ve forgotten about you! You’ll have the chance to create a Single Arcade Machine Emulator (SAME), a Rodent Friendly Mousetrap (with just a few lines of PIC code) and a remarkably accurate Dice Clock featuring ’80s-era CD4000 ICs with a very innovative display.

This small sample isn’t even half of the amazing and challenging projects contained within our 2014 Project Generator Summer Edition of Elektor magazine. As an Elektor GREEN or GOLD member, you can download your digital copy from the Elektor.Magazine website.
