Learn Arduino Prototyping in 10 days. Build it, test it, learn, try again!

Kallol Bosu Roy Choudhuri

This book is a quick, 10-day crash course that will help you become well acquaintedwith the Arduino platform. The primary focus is to empower you to use the Arduinoplatform by applying basic fundamental principles. You will be able to apply theseprinciples to build almost any type of physical device.The projects you will work through in this book are self-contained micro-controllerprojects, interfacing with single peripheral devices (such as sensors), buildingcompound devices (multiple devices in a single setup), prototyping standalonedevices (powered from independent power sources), working with actuators (such as DCmotors), interfacing with an AC-powered device, wireless devices (with Infrared,Radio Frequency and GSM techniques), and finally implementing the Internet of Things(using the ESP8266 series Wi-Fi chip with an IoT cloud platform).The first half of the book focuses on fundamental techniques and building basictypes of device, and the final few chapters will show you how to prototype wirelessdevices. By the end of this book, you will have become acquainted with the fundamentalprinciples in a pragmatic and scientific manner. You will also be confident enough totake up new device prototyping challenges.
