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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learnt how to work with actuators. We started working with a DC motor; then we learnt how to control its speed using the PWM method. Next, we learnt how to use Arduino interrupts and why they are important. In the end, we worked with a servo motor and understood how to move a servo motor at specified angles.

As a conclusion, we looked at a suggested drone-boat design using some motors and a radio frequency module with the Arduino. In this chapter, we already learnt how to use a DC motor and a servo motor. After reading through Chapter 10, Day 8 - Short Range Wireless Communications you will be able to use a radio frequency module with the Arduino. Thus, we come to the end of our short journey of learning to use actuators.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to interface AC powered devices with the Arduino. AC mains are at a very high voltage and...
