About This BookExplore the different sensors that can be used to improve the functionality of the Arduino projectsProgram networking modules in conjunction with Arduino to make smarter and more communicable devicesA practical guide that shows you how to utilize Arduino to create practical, useful projectsWho This Book Is ForThis book is an ideal choice for hobbyists or professionals who want to create quick and easy projects with Arduino. As a prerequisite, readers must have a working Arduino system and some programming background, ideally in C/C++. Basic knowledge of Arduino is helpful but not required to follow along with this book.What You Will LearnUnderstand and utilize the capabilities of the Arduino platformIntegrate sensors to gather environmental data and display this information in meaningful waysAdd modules, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, that allow the Arduino to communicate with and send data between devicesCreate simple servers to allow communication to occurBuild automated projects, including robots, while learning complex algorithms to mimic biological locomotionImplement error handling to make programs easier to debug and look more professionalIntegrate powerful programming tools and software, such as Python and Processing, to broaden the scope of what Arduino can achievePractice and learn basic programming etiquetteIn DetailArduino is an open source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board and a development environment for writing software for the board. With growing interest in home-made, weekend projects among students and hobbyists alike, Arduino offers an innovative and feasible platform to create projects that promote creativity and technological tinkering.Arduino by Example demonstrates three projects, ranging from a home automation project involving your lighting system to a simple robotic project, to a touch sensor project. You will first learn the basic concepts, and as you start building the projects, you will develop the practical skills needed to successfully build Arduino-powered projects that have real-life applications.By the end of this book, you will be able to create basic projects and utilize the elements used in the examples to construct your own devices.

Find out how to transform your Arduino device into an awesome secret agent gadget with this course, taking in everything from robotics to remote control cameras About This Book This course won't just teach you. It will help you apply your knowledge so you can get creative ? quickly! Find out how to make a computer interact with the real-world ? you'll be learning the basics of IoT without realizing it. Robots. A sound controlled Christmas tree. This course proves anything is possible with an Arduino! Who This Book Is For Seeking inspiration? This course will help you get creative with your Arduino quickly. What You Will Learn Find out how to explore the full potential of your tiny Arduino Find out how to bridge the gap between the real world and software, as you gather and visualize data from the environment Create simple servers to allow communication to occur Transform your Arduino into a GPS tracker Use the Arduino to monitor top secret data Build a complete spy robot! In Detail An Arduino might be a tiny computer but it can be used as the foundation for a huge range of projects. In this course, we'll show you how just some of the projects that are possible with an Arduino. From robotics to secret agent gadgets, we're pretty confident that this course will get you thinking creatively ? and inspire you to create your very own new projects using the Arduino hacking skills you learn. This course, combines both text and video content ? it's made up of three modules to help organize your learning. In the first module we'll show you how to build three different Arduino projects. All of these will not only get you up and running with something practical, they'll also help you better understand how the Arduino works. Find out how to develop a home automation system and even build a robot! In the second module we'll go one step further to help you get creative as you learn how to program LEDs with your Arduino. You'll find out how to build a mood lamp and a remote-controlled TV backlight, before going on to make a sound controlled LED Christmas tree that makes use of sound visualization. Finally, the third module takes you from stylish design into espionage, as you learn how to create neat secret agent gadgets with your Arduino. Find out how to build an alarm system, a fingerprint sensor, even open a lock with a text message. And that's not all ? but to find out more you'll have to dive in! This Learning Path combines some of the best that Packt has...
