The aim of this work is to create a functional prototype of a drum machine with sound generating using a microcontroller. Introduction is devoted to general drum machine and an analysis of its parts, principle and basic modes of operation. The following chapter deals with the principle of digital signal processing and sound generation using a microcontroller. Part of this chapter is focused on mixing using compression methods. The core of this work is to design my own block structure and overall scheme of the drum machine with a description of the parts. Followed by analysis and implementation with theoretical and practical point of view. It is mainly about presentation and description of important parts of firmware codes, DPS design and another technical documentation useful for final prototype production. The conclusion contains a summary of the results with prezentation and discussion.

This master thesis is dedicated to system of water monitoring for use of alternative source power supply and GSM communication. The thesis carried out research on the possibilities to take measurements on watercourses, also detailed research of photovoltaic panel, available accumulators and their charging and a synopsis of similar systems. Furthermore, the master thesis also captures design and implementation datalogger device type with possibility to send measured data to the website.
