This book provides the technology fundaments and integration knowledge needed to interface a wide variety of sensors and actuators with the Arduino microcontroller. Readers will have at their fingertips a compendium covering the physical operation, in-circuit and program interfacing, sensor by sensor, for a range of physical quantities, as well as the actuators and control devices needed to operate on the physical world in response to an Arduino program. Alternative power schemes for the Arduino and sensor assembly (Direct, USB, battery, solar) are covered, and extensive references to...

Build a robot that responds to electrical activity in your brain it s easy and fun. If you re familiar with Arduino and have basic mechanical building skills, this book will show you how to construct a robot that plays sounds, blinks lights, and reacts to signals from an affordable electroencephalography (EEG) headband. Concentrate and the robot will move. Focus more and it will go faster. Let your mind wander and the robot will slow down.

You ll find complete instructions for building a simple robot chassis with servos, wheels, sensors, LEDs, and a speaker. You also get the code to...

After the devastating tsunami in 2011, DYIers in Japan built their own devices to detect radiation levels, then posted their finding on the Internet. Right now, thousands of people worldwide are tracking environmental conditions with monitoring devices they ve built themselves. You can do it too

This inspiring guide shows you how to use Arduino to create gadgets for measuring noise, weather, electromagnetic interference (EMI), water purity, and more. You ll also learn how to collect and share your own data, and you can experiment by creating your own variations of the gadgets...

This book describes how to build and program an Arduino-controlled machine for drawing algorithmic compositions on walls with a marker. The mechanism consists of two stepper motors with spools attached; the motors are attached to either side of the drawing area and a marker is suspended between them attached to fishing line. The motors pull the marker along the wall; with a little trigonometry you can draw straight lines, circles, or Bezier curves. The book builds up a library of drawing elements that can be combined to draw almost anything. The book accompanies a kit available in the...
