Overview of this book

This book is a quick, 10-day crash course that will help you become well acquainted with the Arduino platform. The primary focus is to empower you to use the Arduino platform by applying basic fundamental principles. You will be able to apply these principles to build almost any type of physical device. The projects you will work through in this book are self-contained micro-controller projects, interfacing with single peripheral devices (such as sensors), building compound devices (multiple devices in a single setup), prototyping standalone devices (powered from independent power sources), working with actuators (such as DC motors), 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 basic types of device, and the final few chapters will show you how to prototype wireless devices. By the end of this book, you will have become acquainted with the fundamental principles in a pragmatic and scientific manner. You will also be confident enough to take up new device prototyping challenges.

Compound devices

A compound device is a collection of more than one component. The components in a compound device are inter-related to one another and centrally controlled by a micro-controller unit. Depending upon the state of one component, the other components react.

For example, a fire alarm is a perfect example of a compound embedded device--as soon as fire is detected, the water sprinkler system and evacuation alarm system gets activated. In the case of the fire alarm system, a fire sensor attached with a micro-controller detects fire and then the micro-controller sends signals to the peripheral components for orchestrating various activities such as activating water sprinklers and fire alarms. Advanced fire alarm systems can automatically dial emergency services via a GSM module.

Building a certified fire alarm system is an advanced topic and would be beyond the scope...
