Leverage the powerful Arduino and XBee platforms to monitor and control your surroundings About This Book Build your own low-power, wireless network using ready-made Arduino and XBee hardware Create a complex project using the Arduino prototyping platform A guide that explains the concepts and builds upon them with the help of examples to form projects Who This Book Is For This book is targeted at embedded system developers and hobbyists who have some working knowledge of Arduino and who wish to extend their projects using wireless connectivity. What You Will Learn Interact with XBee boards using the XCTU program on Windows, OS X, or Linux Make your Arduino boards communicate wirelessly, using XBee modules in the advanced API mode Centrally collect and store measured sensor data, in the cloud or your own database Connect the coordinator Arduino to the Internet and send data to web services Control your environment automatically, based on sensor input from your network Interact with off-the-shelf ZigBee Home Automation devices Make your devices battery-powered and let them sleep to get months or even years of battery life In Detail Arduino has been established as the de facto standard microcontroller programming platform, being used for one-off do-it-yourself projects as well as prototypes for actual products. By providing a myriad of libraries, the Arduino community has made it very easy to interact with pretty much any piece of hardware out there. XBee offers a great range of low-power wireless solutions that are easy to work with, by taking all of the complexity of wireless (mesh) networking out of your hands and letting you focus on what to send without worrying about the how. Building wireless sensor networks is cost-effective as well as efficient as it will be done with Arduino support. The book starts with a brief introduction to various wireless protocols, concepts, and the XBee hardware that enables their use. Then the book expands to explain the Arduino boards to you, letting them read and send sensor data, collect that data centrally, and then even control your home from the Internet. Moving further more advanced topics such as interacting through the standard Zigbee Home Automation protocol, or making your application power-efficient are covered. By the end of the book, you will have all the tools needed to build complete, real-world solutions. Style and approach A hands-on guide, featuring a single home automation project that can ...

Sich eine eigene Hardware »basteln« und per Software selbst programmieren, ist heute kinderleicht. Mit dem Arduino Mikrocontroller, der aus Hardware und Software besteht, kann man eigenständige Objekte steuern oder mit Software-Anwendungen auf Computern zusammenarbeiten. Erik Schernich zeigt dir in dieser erweiterten Neuauflage Schritt für Schritt und leicht verständlich, wie man die Hardware für sich arbeiten lässt und mit der integrierten Entwicklungsumgebung spannende kleine Projekte realisiert. Du lernst zum Beispiel, wie du LEDs zum Leuchten bringst und Morsezeichen absetzt. Dann geht es richtig zur Sache: Du kannst mit Sensoren Messwerte erfassen oder durch Motoren Bewegung mit dem Arduino erzeugen. Baue einfach einen kleinen Ventilator und eine Sekundenuhr, die wie ein Timer nach 30 Sekunden ein akustisches Signal aussendet. Viele Tipps zum Lesen von Quellcode anderer Entwickler und zur Fehlersuche geben dir die Sicherheit, eigene Ideen zu verwirklichen. Durch Fragen und Aufgaben am Ende jedes Kapitels erhältst du zusätzlich jede Menge Anregungen. Am Ende des Buches lernst du sogar, wie man selbst eine Tastatur entwickelt und mithilfe des integrierten Speichers eine Blackbox wie bei einem Flugzeug konstruiert. Die Projekte im Buch: • Mehrfarbige LEDs blinken lassen • Morsezeichen abgeben • Spiel Der heiße Draht • Text mit dem Arduino senden • Debuggen mit System • Eine LED-Lichterkette basteln • Einen Handventilator bauen • Einen Servo-Motor nutzen • Eine Sekundenuhr entwickeln • Stromstärke und Stromspannung messen • Einen kleinen Webserver mit dem Arduino entwickeln • Tastaturfunktionen mit dem Arduino Leonardo • Sicherheitstoken für Passwörter • C++ als Herz des Arduino • Eine Blackbox wie in einem Flugzeug konstruieren Schaltpläne in Farbe zum Download unter www.mitp.de/580 Eine Liste der Materialien, die du benötigst, findest du in Anhang C. Systemvoraussetzungen: Windows, Linux und Mac OS X Ab 12 Jahre, aber auch für Erwachsene, die eine wirklich einfache Einführung suchen.

A cool guide to help kids develop robots and electronics About This Book Get clearly-written code with descriptions and comments that explain each code section The book comes with separate code files, one entire program at a time, as well as many diagrams and separate downloadable files that contain colored photos explaining steps in the book Kids can build multiple projects during the course of the book; by the end, they will have working projects of their own Who This Book Is For This book is for children aged 9 and up, and their parents, who may or may not have a technical background. This book is tailored around the central idea of introducing electronics as a fun and a curiosity-inducing exercise. This book can act as a bonding exercise between parent and child over a single weekend. What You Will Learn Write simple programs using variables, functions, loops, arrays, and libraries Set up the Arduino and understand its internal functioning Get to grips with connections in electronics and arrive at ways to connect various components yourself Delve into various sensors and their selection and build your own sensor Unravel the concept of resistors and capacitors along with understanding the physics of electronics Become an inventor through interactive exercises (such as making a friend happy with a proximity sensor, and giving "life" to a plant) In Detail The mission of this book is to integrate technology with the tools that children already use for crafts so that they feel that the technology is an extension of their playtime. We use coding, sensors, and micro-controllers integrated with art and craft supplies, origami, and Playdough. There are 10 fun-filled chapters that talk to children directly, and give clear instructions for non-technical parents too. We use Arduino as the controller of choice due to its easy availability and large community. By the end of the book, children will comfortably be able to set up their Arduino, read and understand code, manipulate code, and ultimately write their own code for projects. They will also be able to use basic sensors and know how components connect to each other. All the learning takes place with lots of colorful pictures and the circuits are neatly presented using wiring. Style and approach This book will show you the glamour of common and easily available sensors, so that kids and parents waste no time searching for parts. We provide simple yet fun projects with step-by-step instructions that...
