Practical Arduino: Cool Projects For Open Source Hardware

Practical Arduino: Cool Projects For Open Source Hardware

Synopsis

Create your own Arduino-based designs, gain an in-depth knowledge of the architecture of Arduino, and learn the easy-to-use Arduino language. Get hands-on experience using a wide variety of projects and recipes for everything from home automation to games to robotics.Arduino has taken off as an incredibly popular building block among ubicomp (ubiquitous computing) enthusiasts, robotics hobbyists, and DIY home automation developers. Authors Jonathan Oxer and Hugh Blemings provide detailed instructions for building a wide range of both practical and fun Arduino-related projects covering areas such as robotics, hobbies, automotive apps, communications, home automation, and wearable computing. Take Arduino beyond "blink" to a wide variety of projects from simple to challenging Hands-on recipes for everything from home automation to games to robotics Explanations of tools and resources needed for ubiquitous computing projectsReference material such as language constructs make Practical Arduino: Cool Projects for Open Source Hardware an invaluable reference tool for Arduino users of all levels. You'll learn a wide variety of techniques that can be applied to your own projects. What you'll learn Reading analog and digital input and writing analog and digital output Communication with devices including Wii controllers, RFID readers, and temperature sensors Controlling servo motors Linking physical devices to virtual environments such as Second Life Embedding computer systems into clothing Linking Arduino to web services Who is this book for?This book is for hobbyists and developers interested in physical computing using a low-cost, easy-to-learn platform.
