Face your zombie apocalypse!

Prepare for the moment when the world is overcome by murderous dead people, and access to all resources will be limited! To survive, you need to know how to secure your base, monitor your surroundings, communicate with your allies and provide electricity. Get the necessary skills to survive! With this survival guide you will learn how to connect the wire to the screw terminal, use a soldering iron, saw, drill and chisel, you will not be afraid of electronic components.

In this book, you'll find a number of projects that will help you survive the apocalypse, but will also prove useful in peacetime. This surprising and quite unusual manual allows you to learn the basics of electronics in the best possible way: by making various devices and systems for generating electricity, monitoring the environment and warning against intruders, and communicating with friends. To perform these devices will be used, among others car battery, dynamo or photovoltaic panels, and the Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards will be used as control modules.

Examples of projects:

• Generating electricity using sunlight or the strength of your own muscles
• Detecting an intruder with a motion sensor
• Remote controlled door lock and door opening sensor
• Building a command center - collecting data from multiple systems and displaying them on one screen
• Beacon and radio scanner

Check how to survive the apocalypse with a soldering iron and popular tiles!
