Arduino Projects to Save the World, 9781430236238 (143023623X), Apress, 2011

Arduino Projects to Save the World shows that it takes little more than a few tools, a few wires and sensors, an Arduino board, and a bit of gumption to build devices that lower energy bills, help you grow our own food, monitor pollution in the air and in the ground, even warn you about earth tremors.

Arduino Projects to Save the World introduces the types of sensors needed to collect environmental data—from temperature sensors to motion sensors. You'll see projects that deal with energy sources—from building your own power strip to running your Arduino board on solar panels so you can actually proceed to build systems that help, for example, to lower your energy bills. Once you have some data, it's time to put it to good use by publishing it online as you collect it; this book shows you how.

The core of this book deals with the Arduino projects themselves:

  • Account for heat loss using a heat loss temperature sensor array that sends probes into every corner of your house for maximum measurement. 
  • Monitor local seismic activity with your own seismic monitor.
  • Keep your Arduino devices alive in the field with a solar powered device that uses a smart, power-saving design.
  • Monitor your data and devices with a wireless radio device; place your sensors where you like without worrying about wires.
  • Keep an eye on your power consumption with a sophisticated power monitor that records its data wherever you like.

Arduino Projects to Save the World teaches the aspiring green systems expert to build environmentally-sound, home-based Arduino devices. Saving the world, one Arduino at a time.

Please note: the print version of this title is black & white; the eBook is full color.

What you’ll learn

  • Help the environment by using Arduino
  • Install and use environmental sensors
  • Use low-energy or solar energy sources for your Arduino board to avoid loading conventional energy grids
  • Build an Arduino-based seismic monitor to protect your home
  • Measure energy flows inside your home using temperature sensor arrays
  • Pull together your environmental data in an energy consumption monitor

Who this book is for

  • Programmers excited by Arduino
  • Arduino users looking for green projects
  • Embedded systems engineers interested in Arduino

Pro TypeScript: Application-Scale JavaScript Development
Pro TypeScript: Application-Scale JavaScript Development

JavaScript is everywhere, both as a pure language and in popular libraries like Angular, jQuery and Knockout, but users of modern object-oriented languages like Java and C# often find JavaScript frustrating to use and hard to extend to large-scale applications. TypeScript is an innovative open source language from Microsoft that combines...

Time Series Analysis and Its Applications: With R Examples (Springer Texts in Statistics)

Time Series Analysis and Its Applications presents a balanced and comprehensive treatment of both time and frequency domain methods with accompanying theory. Numerous examples using nontrivial data illustrate solutions to problems such as discovering natural and anthropogenic climate change, evaluating pain perception...

Towards a Critical Sociology (Routledge Revivals): An Essay on Commonsense and Imagination
Towards a Critical Sociology (Routledge Revivals): An Essay on Commonsense and Imagination

For the better part of its history sociology shared with commonsense its assumption of the ‘nature-like’ character of society – and consequently developed as the science of unfreedom. In this powerful and engaging work, first published in 1976, Professor Bauman outlines the historical roots of such a science and describes how...

Long-term Effects of Sewage Sludge and Farm Slurries Applications
Long-term Effects of Sewage Sludge and Farm Slurries Applications
Previous seminars organised by the working party under the auspices of the EEC Concerted Action have been devoted to the evaluation of the nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter content of sewage sludges, almost invariably over the twelve month period of application. Depending on the type of sludge they have been shown to be useful sources of...
