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.

Hardware

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.

Hardware

The Designer's Guide to the Cortex-M Family is a tutorial-based book giving the key concepts required to develop programs in C with a Cortex M- based processor. The book begins with an overview of the Cortex- M family, giving architectural descriptions supported with practical examples, enabling the engineer to easily develop basic C programs to run on the Cortex- M0/M3 and M4. It then examines the more advanced features of the Cortex architecture such as memory protection, operating modes and dual stack. For those used to 8 and 16 bit architectures, advice is given on how to do RTOS development.

Key Features include:

• Introduces the Cortex microcontroller software interface standard (CMSIS), a common framework for all Cortex M- based microcontrollers.
• Introduction to the CMSIS DSP library for Cortex M3 and M4 and discusses how to optimise DSP code for the cortex M4 and how to build real time DSP systems.
• An evaluation tool chain IDE and debugger which allows the accompanying example projects to be run in simulation on the PC or on low cost hardware

By reading the book you will learn:

• The key differences between the Cortex M0/M3 and M4
• The key features of the Cortex-M family
• How to write C programs to run on Cortex-M based processors
• How to make best use of the Coresight debug system
• How to do RTOS development
• The Cortex-M operating modes and memory protection
• Advanced software techniques that can be used on Cortex-M microcontrollers including

Hardware

Rafiquzzaman's Microcontroller Theory and Applications with the PIC 18F has been designed for a one-semester or one-quarter course in microcontrollers taught at the undergraduate level in electrical/computer engineering and computer science departments. The students are expected to have a background in C language and digital logic (both combinational and sequential) design. Practitioners of microcontroller-based applications will find more simplified explanations, together with examples and comparisons considerations, than are found in manufacturers' manuals.
