Practical Arduino: Cool Projects for Open Source Hardware

Create your own Arduino-based designs, gain an in-depth knowledge of the architecture of Arduino, and learn the easy-to-use Arduino language. Get hands-on experience using a wide variety of projects and recipes for everything from home automation to games to robotics. Arduino has taken off as an incredibly popular building block among ubicomp (ubiquitous computing) enthusiasts, robotics hobbyists, and DIY home automation developers. Authors Jonathan Oxer and Hugh Blemings provide detailed instructions for building a wide range of both practical and fun Arduino-related projects covering areas such as robotics, hobbies, automotive apps, communications, home automation, and wearable computing. * Take Arduino beyond "blink" to a wide variety of projects from simple to challenging * Hands-on recipes for everything from home automation to games to robotics * Explanations of tools and resources needed for ubiquitous computing projects Reference material such as language constructs make Practical Arduino: Cool Projects for Open Source Hardware an invaluable reference tool for Arduino users of all levels. You'll learn a wide variety of techniques that can be applied to your own projects.
