A hands-on course in sensors using the Arduino and Raspberry Pi

By, Ziemann, Volker

"Based on the author's successful course, with contents carefully crafted in light of feedback from reviewers, this is the first book to give a practical and wide-ranging account of how to interface sensors and actuators with micro-controllers (Arduino), Raspberry Pi and EPICS. The author describes the progression of raw signals through conditioning stages, digitization, data storage and presentation. Sections on switches and motors, which cover basic robotics, are also included. All steps are illustrated with handson examples, based on inexpensive hardware. The book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics and electrical engineering, as well as for hobbyists"-- Read more...

Arduino Project Handbook: 25 Practical Projects to Get You Started

By, Mark Geddes

Arduino Project Handbook is a beginner-friendly collection of electronics projects using the low-cost Arduino board. With just a handful of components, an Arduino, and a computer, you'll learn to build and program everything from light shows to arcade games to an ultrasonic security system.

First you'll get set up with an introduction to the Arduino and valuable advice on tools and components. Then you can work through the book in order or just jump to projects that catch your eye. Each project includes simple instructions, colorful photos and circuit diagrams, and all necessary code.

Building Arduino Projects for the Internet of Things: Experiments with Real-World Applications

By, Adeel Javed

This is a book about building Arduino-powered devices for everyday use, and then connecting those devices to the Internet. If you're one of the many who have decided to build your own Arduino-powered devices for IoT applications, you've probably wished you could find a single resource - a guidebook for the eager-to-learn Arduino enthusiast - that teaches logically, methodically, and practically how the Arduino works and what you can build with it. Building Arduino Projects for the Internet of Things: Experiments with Real-World Applications is exactly what you need. Written by a software developer and solution architect who got tired of hunting and gathering various lessons for Arduino development as he taught himself all about the topic, this book gives you an incredibly strong foundation of Arduino-based device development, from which you can go in any direction according to your specific development needs and desires. Readers are introduced to the building blocks of IoT, and then deploy those principles to by building a variety of useful projects. Projects in the books gradually introduce the reader to key topics such as internet connectivity with Arduino, common IoT protocols, custom web visualization, and Android apps that receive sensor data on-demand and in realtime. IoT device enthusiasts of all ages will want this book by their side when developing Android-based devices.

Arduino workshop: a hands-on introduction with 65 projects

By, John Boxall

The Arduino is a cheap, flexible, open source microcontroller platform designed to make it easy for hobbyists to use electronics in homemade projects. With an almost unlimited range of input and output add-ons, sensors, indicators, displays, motors, and more, the Arduino offers you countless ways to create devices that interact with the world around you.

In Arduino Workshop, you'll learn how these add-ons work and how to integrate them into your own projects. You'll start off with an overview of the Arduino system but quickly move on to coverage of various electronic components and concepts. Hands-on projects throughout the book reinforce what you've learned and show you how to apply that knowledge. As your understanding grows, the projects increase in complexity and sophistication.

Arduino Applied: Comprehensive Projects for Everyday Electronics

By: Neil Cameron

Extend the range of your Arduino skills, incorporate the new developments in both hardware and software, and understand how the electronic applications function in everyday life. This project-based book extends the Arduino Uno starter kits and increases knowledge of microcontrollers in electronic applications.

Learn how to build complex Arduino projects, break them down into smaller ones, and then enhance them, thereby broadening your understanding of each topic.You'll use the Arduino Uno in a range of applications such as a blinking LED, route mapping with a mobile GPS system, and uploading information to the internet.

You'll also apply the Arduino Uno to sensors, collecting and displaying information, Bluetooth and wireless communications, digital image captures, route tracking with GPS, controlling motors, color and sound, building robots, and internet access. With Arduino Applied, prior knowledge of electronics is not required, as each topic is described and illustrated with examples using the Arduino Uno.
