ZUSE et l'invention de l'ordinateur ZUSE et la racine carrée (Zuse and the computing of the square root) |
Powerpoint
presentation for the Computarium, Diekirch, 26 Oct. 2010. In French. Supplementary part showing the solution of the square root by Zuse. |
L'art du secret: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 (unfinished) | 3 first parts

BAUMANN, Claude | Communication with SD cards | Lab report (24 pages, version 1.0, 13 Feb 2023) how to read and write an SD card from a PIC-type microcontroller or a Raspberry Pico (with microPython). Uses PICLab and Labview. This is heavy stuff! |
BAUMANN, Claude | A simple and fast look-up table method to compute the exp(x) and ln(x) functions | Paper (14
pages) written in 2004; downloaded as PDF from EBIN (original
link) after online conversion to PDF. This new algorithm was developed
to be used in programming the LEGO RCX controller using Robolab. It uses a
lookup table to make fast calculations of ln(x) and exp(x) compatible with
the IEEE754 single precision standard. This is heavy mathematical stuff! |
BAUMANN, Claude | Das Kalman Filter wird 50 | Article in the
Luxemburger Wort (18 March 2010); co-author Francis Massen. PDF. In German |
BAUMANN, Claude | EUREKA! Problem Solving with LEGO Robotics (2013) | 500 page book
written by Claude Baumann and published by NTS (National Technology and
Science Press) in 2013. ISBN 978-1934891-13-1. Click for a view of the cover and back |

Dynamic
binaural sound localization based on variations of interaural time delays
and system rotations
(JASA, 138 (2), Aug. 2015) |
Claude Baumann,
a Computarium crew member, has published an outstanding paper in JASA, the
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. The co-authors are Chris
Rogers (Tuft University, USA) and Francis Massen (Computarium). The paper gives new insights on how to locate a sound source in space, using calculations performed on the interaural delay-time. The PDF is here. [Copyright 2015 Acoustical Society of America. This article may be downloaded for personal use only.

Bringing back
to life a COLINBUS Profiler CNC_Router 29 Mar 2021 |
A very
extensive 62-pages report of the restoration of a Colinbus CNC profiler, an
heritage of our late member
Jean
Mootz.
This is as a major research project by Computarium
member Claude Baumann and also an original endeavor to combine modern
stepper motor drivers, Arduino and self- developed electronic interface to
revive a dead machine (which many would have thought being unsalvageable)
which was sold in 2009 by the
Elektor magazine as a kit. 46 pictures or schemata.

Lab report of the TTY converter (version 1.1, 02 November 2022)) | A very extensive, complete and long report on the design, creation and programming of the TTY/USB converter for communicating between a vintage ASR-32 TELEX and a PC. This is heavy PIC and Labview stuff! |
BAUMANN Claude | Lab report on the PIC signal generator (version 1.0, 05 December 2022) | A report on the
construction of a very small battery-powered signal generator, to be used in
a demo of the HP16500A logic analyzer. |
