Build your own measuring devices with the Arduino platform!

Arduino is an amazing platform that has opened up a whole new world of electronics. Thanks to the simplicity of service, it gained a large number of supporters, and this translated into the amount of materials and publications available online. Numerous accessories have been developed for the Arduino platform that allow the user to expand each system. In addition, it is also possible to combine it with another popular platform - Raspberry Pi. You will achieve everything with this duo!

This fantastic handbook will show you how to use Arduino to collect information about the surrounding world. Measurement of noise, temperature and humidity are only part of the projects that you can achieve thanks to this platform. During the reading you will learn how to use the network module and present the collected data on the display. Would you like to have your own Geiger counter? This miracle is within your reach! During the implementation of the projects presented here you will learn the Arduino platform and start to create your own layouts. Reach for this book and immerse yourself in the world of electronic circuits.

Build your own:

  • thermometer
  • noise meter
  • Geiger counter
  • dream layout with the Arduino platform!


Arduino - Your pass to the world of electronics!
