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.

Distance measurement device circuit

Follow the breadboard diagram shown next to build the distance measurement device. The diagram shown on the next page is quite complex. Take your time as you unravel through it. All the components (including the Arduino board) in this prototype are powered from the 9 volt battery.

Sometimes the LCD procured online might not ship with soldered header pins. In such a case, you will have to solder 16 header pins.

It is very important to note that unless the header pins are soldered properly into the LCD board, the LCD screen will not work correctly.

This is a very challenging prototype to get working in one go. Make sure there are no loose jumper wires.

Notice how the positive and negative terminals of the power source are plugged into the VIN and GND pins of the Arduino board respectively.

The 10K potentiometer has three legs. If you look straight...
