Arduino Project Handbook, Volume 2: 25 Simple Electronics Projects for Beginners — page 5 — orgAnizAtion of this book I recommend you try out some of the earlier projects first as you’ll find information there that’s useful for the more complicated builds but if you see a project you like and feel confident enough to take it on you can skip to it The parts of the book are organized as follows Primer Getting Started Learn all about the Arduino Uno and how to use a breadboard and then test your board with a simple program and get a crash course in soldering Part i leds Here you’ll start out by learning how to control simple light-emitting diodes LEDs with variable resistors and then combine components to build a light-activated LED a scrolling text display a flashing multicolored compass and more Part ii Sound In this part you’ll use a piezo a device that emits sound to make tunes with a musical keyboard and create a simple audio visualizer that makes LEDs dance to your music Part iii motors These projects use various types of motors to bring your creations to life You’ll build an analog dial that gauges light levels learn how a stepper motor works and build a temperature controlled fan to keep you cool Part iV lcds The LCD screen is useful in lots of projects for display ing messages and results In these projects you’ll learn how to set up a serial LCD screen and then build a defusable bomb game an ultrasonic range finder a mobile Pong game and even an alcohol breathalyzer Part V Security Protect your space with a motion sensor that trig gers an ultrasonic soaker water pistol and a security system that uses a fingerprint scanner to keep unauthorized persons out In this final part you’ll combine the Arduino Part Vi Smart machines with motors and sensors to create an intelligent robot control lights using Bluetooth technology and even build a GPS speedometer to track your movements At the end of the book I provide some helpful reference informa tion including a review of some of the more common program errors and how to fix them information on the components used in this book and where to buy them and a reference table for the pins on the Arduino Uno xii introduction
