Design your own home automation systems using the Arduino platform !

In this book, you will be guided through the basics of the Arduino platform, and you will learn how to use a wide range of sensors and actuators that are commonly used in home automation. Here is a non-exhaustive list of what you will be able to do after reading the book:

Measure the temperature in your home, save it into a database and display the result in your browser

Control a relay directly from your computer

Create a motion-controlled light switch

Build your own Arduino shield for home automation purposes

You will also learn many skills that can be reused in other domains. You will learn of course about the Arduino platform and microcontrollers, but also about how to use a wide range of sensors: contact sensors, humidity sensors, motion sensors … You will also learn about software development, using the languages C, C++, Python, HTML, PHP, and JavaScript.

So, you've created a few projects with Arduino, and now it's time to kick it up a notch. Where do you go next? With Pro Arduino, you'll learn about new tools, techniques, and frameworks to make even more ground-breaking, eye-popping projects.

You'll discover how to make Arduino-based gadgets and robots interact with your mobile phone. You'll learn all about the changes in Arduino 1.0, you'll create amazing output with openFrameworks, and you'll learn how to make games with the Gameduino. You'll also learn advanced topics, such as modifying the Arduino to work with non-standard Atmel chips and Microchip's PIC32.

Rick Anderson, an experienced Arduino developer and instructor, and Dan Cervo, an experienced Arduino gadgeteer, will give you a guided tour of advanced Arduino capabilities. If it can be done with an Arduino, you'll learn about it here.

What you’ll learn

• How to modify the Arduino to work with other chips
• How to simulate sensors for testing and debugging
• How to set up advanced XBee networks
• How to write Arduino libraries and share them with the Arduino community
• How to get started with the Android accessory development kit
• How to create games with hardware or with Gameduino
• How to connect your Android phone to an Arduino sensor network

Who this book is for

Arduino fans, technogeeks, and electronic artists who want to take their skills to the next level.
