Description

Arduino is a platform that, thanks to the possibility of handling a lot of sets of sensors, allows the creation of any electronic projects.

 

The author takes the reader through the world of Arduino, starting with a description of the differences between the selected versions of the popular platform. Then, he explains how to prepare the workplace in order to start creating your first projectsin a simple way. The book describes i.a.: how to connect Arduino to motors and servos, how to display information on the LCD display, as well as how to use ultrasound sensors or infrared sensors to build a robot omitting the obstacles. In addition, the book teaches how to integrate Arduino with iOS.

Thanks to the information contained in the book:

  • you will learn all the secrets of Arduino modules
  • you will use sensors and motors
  • you will communicate with system using the network
  • you will discover the potential of the Arduino platform

In our offer you can find used in the book:Arduino kits, network XBee modules,LCD displaysanddistance sensors.

 

Examples of projects used in the book are availablefor download. Excerpt from the book forreading on-line.
