Basics of Arduino
Part i: Leds You’ll start by learning how to control simple LEDs with
buttons and variable resistors, and then combine components to builddisco strobe lights, plant monitors to tell you when your plant needs
watering, and even a ghost detector.Part ii: Sound In this part, you’ll learn about the piezo buzzer, a very
useful device that emits and can also detect sound. You’ll make music
with the Arduino Melody, create a simple and fun memory game, and
set up a secret code lock system that detects the volume of a knock.Part iii: Servos These projects all use the servomotor, a small motor
with an arm that can be used for a whole host of purposes. You’ll build
a joystick-controlled laser and decode a remote control so you can
move your servo with buttons on the remote.Part iV: Lcds The LCD screen is useful in lots of projects for displaying messages and results. In this part, you’ll learn how to set up an
LCD screen, build a weather station to report conditions, and set up
two games: a fortune teller and a reaction timer game.Part V: numeric counters You’ll use LED number displays in this
part to build an electronic die and a rocket launcher countdown system
that sets off a fuse
Part Vi: Security These more complex projects will show you how to
protect your space with trip wires and intruder trackers, motion sensors
that trigger alarms or sentry missiles, and security systems that use
keypads and card readers to keep unauthorized persons out.Part Vii: Advanced In this fnal part, you’ll combine the Arduino with
a matrix of lights to create the Rainbow Light Show. Then you’ll round
off your skills by building your own Arduino to use in future projects.
These projects don’t have to be built in order, so if you see
something you like and feel confdent enough to take it on, you can
skip to it. I recommend you try out some of the earlier projects frst,
though, as you’ll fnd information there that’s useful for more complicated builds.
I’ve written the book that I was looking for but couldn’t fnd when
I started out with the Arduino. I hope that you’ll enjoy reading and
working through this book as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.
