Atmospheric Monitoring With Arduino: Building Simple Devices to Collect Data About the Environment: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Atmospheric Monitoring With Arduino: Building Simple Devices to Collect Data About the Environment" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Detect harmful gases, dust particles such as smoke and smog, and upper atmospheric hazesubstances and conditions that are often invisible to your senses. Youll also discover how to use the scientific method to help you learn even more from your atmospheric tests.
Get up to speed on Arduino with a quick electronics primer
Build a tropospheric gas sensor to detect carbon monoxide, LPG, butane, methane, benzene, and many other gases
Create an LED Photometer to measure how much of the suns blue, green, and red light waves are penetrating the atmosphere
Build an LED sensitivity detectorand discover which light wavelengths each LED in your Photometer is receptive to
Learn how measuring light wavelengths lets you determine the amount of water vapor, ozone, and other substances in the atmosphere
Upload your data to Cosm and share it with others via the Internet
The future will rely on citizen scientists collecting and analyzing their own data. The easy and fun gadgets in this book show everyone from Arduino beginners to experienced Makers how best to do that.
--Chris Anderson, Editor in Chief of Wired magazine, author of Makers: The New Industrial Revolution (Crown Business)

We dedicate this book to our sisters and brothers:Andy, Lucy, Mathius, and Melissa
Theres a story (its either an old vaudeville joke or a Zen koan) in which a fisherman asks a fish, Whats the water like down there? and the fish replies What is water? If the story is just a joke, the point is to make us laugh; but if its a koan, the point is that the most obvious and ubiquitous parts of our immediate environment are, paradoxically, often the easiest to overlook.
We as a species are probably a little bit smarter than fish: at least we know that we spend our lives swimming at the bottom of an ocean of air. About 4/5th of that ocean is the relatively harmless gas nitrogen. Around another 1/5 of it is the highly reactive and slightly toxic gas oxygen. The Earths atmosphere also contains trace amounts of other harmless or slightly toxic gases like argon, carbon dioxide, and methane. And depending on where you live, it may contain even smaller, but much more toxic, amounts of pollutants like soot, carbon monoxide, and ozone.
Yet how many of us, like the fish in the koan, overlook the atmosphere? Who in your life can tell you the general composition of the air around them? How many people know whats inside every breath they take? Do you?Reading this book and building these gadgets will take you on the first steps of a journey toward understanding our ocean of air.

If youre a DIY electronics or Arduino novice, the information in this chapter will help you get the most out of building and programming the gadgets in this book.
If youre already building your own electronics, consider this chapter a refresher to dip into as needed.
Arduino is best described as a single-board computer that is deliberately designed to be used by people who are not experts in electronics, engineering, or programming. It is inexpensive, cross-platform (the Arduino software runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux), and easy to program. Both Arduino hardware and software are open source and extensible.
Arduino is also powerful: despite its compact size, it has about as much computing muscle as one of the original navigation computers from the Apollo program, at about 1/35,000 the price.
Programmers, designers, do-it-yourselfers, and artists around the world take advantage of Arduinos power and simplicity to create all sorts of innovative devices, including interactive sensors, artwork, and toys.
We built each of the products in this book using the Arduino Uno (), which, at the time of writing, is the latest model. By the time youre reading this, there may be something newer.
You dont have to know Arduino Unos technical specifications to build and program the gadgets in this book, but if youre interested, you can find them at the official Arduino website.
