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.

Try the following

Now let us perform some exciting exercises for a better understanding of what we have learnt so far.

  • Refer to the Chapter 3, Day 1 - Building a Simple Prototype; add an external LED to the circuit via a digital pin.
  • Modify the sketch and make the external LED also blink along with sounding the buzzer.
  • Modify the sketch, to perform the buzzing and blinking using a for loop.
  • In the SD card example, try creating two log files instead of only one datalog.txt. One file should be called critical.txt and should log events where the A5 pin reading is above 500. While all other readings should continue to get logged in the existing datalog.txt file.
  • Write a sketch to list the contents of an existing file by adding the following function in the sketch. You can invoke this function by using a function call such as readFullFile("datalog.txt") from the loop(...
