All of these will not only get you up and running with something practical, theyll also help you better understand how the Arduino works. Find out how to develop a home automation system and even build a robot!

In the second module well go one step further to help you get creative as you learn how to program LEDs with your Arduino. Youll find out how to build a mood lamp and a remote-controlled TV backlight, before going on to make a sound controlled LED Christmas tree that makes use of sound visualization.

Finally, the third module takes you from stylish design into espionage, as you learn how to create neat secret agent gadgets with your Arduino. Find out how to build an alarm system, a fingerprint sensor, even open a lock with a text message. And thats not all but to find out more youll have to dive in!

This Learning Path combines some of the best that Packt has to offer in one complete, curated package. It includes content from the following Packt products:

Preface

Arduino an open source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board. The open source Arduino software (IDE) makes it easy to write code and upload it to the board. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The environment is written in Java and based on Processing and other open source software. With the growing interest in home-made, weekend projects among students and hobbyists alike, Arduino offers an innovative and feasible platform to create projects that promote creativity and technological tinkering

What this learning path covers

, Arduino by Example , introduces the reader to the Arduino platform. We begin with acquiring the necessary components and installing the software to write your first program and see the magic begin. This module brings in commonly used Arduino-friendly components such as an ultrasound sensor and a small programmable LCD panel, and put them together to create a digital ruler, which is capable of measuring distances using the sensor and displaying them in real time on the LCD screen. In this module, we use basic algorithms that allow the Arduino to translate finger gestures into corresponding characters that are then displayed graphically using software called Processing. We introduce the reader to using PIR sensors or motion sensors, implementing a remote camera with Arduino, and linking the Arduino to a smart phone. Additionally, the reader will learn about Python and how it interfaces with Arduino. This module combines the elements learned in the preceding project with a device that uses a sensor to detect motion at an entry point, which triggers a security camera to take the intruders photo via Bluetooth and sends that image to your smart phone. Some chapters explain connecting the Arduino to the Wi-Fi network using a relay to control an electric appliance and communicating to it using Telnet. We use the Arduino to create a simple home automation system operating within the bounds of the Wi-Fi that would allow the user to control home appliances using a computer, smart phone, and their voice. A few chapters revolve around building a robot dog from scratch. You learn about the Arduino MEGA board, servos, and stand-alone power requirements for the board. This involves using household items to build the chassis of the dog and then completing the circuit using the Arduino MEGA board and a lot of servos. The reader will finally finish building the robot and will learn to calibrate and teach (program) the robot to stand, walk, and play. Also, finally, speech recognition will be implemented so that the dog can actually listen to the user.

, Arduino BLINK Blueprints , presents you with some cool stuff of controlling LEDs and will show you how to control different LEDs with an artistic approach. This module teaches you the basics of IR LEDs and IR communication. Once you have learned about programming an IR sensor, you will use it to control the TV backlight using a remote. We learn about soldering and creating a 4*4*4 LED Cube using the Arduino UNO board. Some chapters show you how to visualize sound using Arduino and then we will develop an LED Christmas tree. We also create a Persistence of Vision wand using an LED array and a motor. A chapter in this module starts with common troubleshooting techniques. We discuss resources that will be useful if you want to do advanced stuff with Arduino.

, Arduino for Secret Agents , is about building an alarm system that is based on the Arduino platform with a motion sensor and a visual alarm. We build a secret recording system that can record the conversations and noises in a room. A few chapters in this module teach you about creating a detector to check whether there are other secret agent devices in a room and an access control system using your own fingerprint. We build a project where the secret agent can open a lock just by sending a text message to the Arduino device and also make a spy camera that can be accessed from anywhere in the world to record pictures in Dropbox when motion is detected. We learn to secretly record any kind of data and log in this data on the Cloud. One of the chapters in this module is about creating a GPS tracker that indicates its position on a map in real time. We conclude this module by building a small surveillance robot that can spy on your behalf.

What you need for this learning path

The primary softwares required are as follows:

  • Arduino IDE
  • Processing IDE
  • Python 2.7
  • BitVoicer
  • Teraterm
  • Putty

We will be using a wide range of Arduino boards, shields, and hardware components. You will find all the details about these requirements in the relevant chapters.

Who this learning path is for

This course is aimed to a wide range of readers. It can be really illustrative to those wanting to be introduced to the development of projects based on microcontrollers and using Arduino in particular for the first time. It can also be interesting to all those who already know or have worked with microcontrollers previously but havent tried Arduino and still want to know the basics about this powerful platform by way of a number of projects that will present all important aspects of the platform. Novice programmers and hobbyists who want to delve deeper into the world of Arduino

Reader feedback

Feedback from our readers is always welcome. Let us know what you think about this coursewhat you liked or disliked. Reader feedback is important for us as it helps us develop titles that you will really get the most out of.
