| Sumario: | Arduino boards have impressed bothÆhackers and professional engineers. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional, ĭt isn't just a breadboard and a hazy idea that keeps you going. It's essential to institute a proper design, device instrumentation and, indeed, test your project thoroughly before committing to a particular prototype. Practical Arduino Engineering begins by outlining the engineering process, from the basicÆrequirements andÆpreliminary design to prototyping and testing. Each and every chapter exemplifies this process andÆdemonstrates howÆyouÆcan profit from the implementationÆsolid engineering principles--regardless of whether you just play in your basement or you want to publicize and sell your devices. Arduino is a brilliant prototyping platform that allows users to test and iterate design ideas. Imitation by other Arduino makers, hackers and engineers oftenÆproves your design's popularity. Practical Arduino EngineeringÆwill teachÆyou to follow the engineering processÆcarefully; over time, you will be able to review and improve this process, and even extend its scope. Practical Arduino Engineering is notÆpurely theoretical. In addition, you'll learn the process of hardware engineering as applicable to Arduino projects, and the importance of the process in each and every projectÆpresented in this book. To set the stage, Practical Arduino Engineering begins by reviewing the Arduino software landscape, Æthen shows howÆto set upăn Arduino project for testing. Even if you already know your compiler toolchain and the basics of Arduino programming, this refresher course can helpÆfill inÆthe gaps andĕxplain whyÆyour compiler mayÆspit out certain error messages. Practical Arduino Engineering then gradually builds up the engineering process, from single devices like LCDs, potentiometers and GPS modules, to the integration of several modules into larger projects, such as a wireless temperature measurement system, and ultimatelyăn entire robot. The engineering projects become progressively more challenging throughout the first 4 engineering chapters. Next, you'll proceed with simple steps towards the first intelligent part of a robot:Æthe object detector. You'll find yourself teaching your robot how to avoid very hot objects or insurmountable obstacles. The basic design requirements for a complete robot and, indeed, the detailed design and prototyping for robots can be extremely tricky, which is why engineering discipline is invaluable. Practical Arduino Engineering thenĕnters the world of domestic engineering by introducing home alarm systems--not quite as simple as they seem. A solid, robust system can only be built by following the engineering processÆdetailed inÆprevious chapters, and this section reinforces that process. You'll thenÆtake a step further in your Arduino engineering process: instrumentation and control, and some error messaging using GSM. Control is introduced via the Xbox controller, a very powerful piece of technology able to play a considerable role in robotics projects.ÆHaving already learned to control motion andÆto sense and avoid objects, you'll learn how toÆdebug your Arduino projects of varying complexities via the hardware instrumentation software LabVIEW. To complete the journey into Practical Arduino Engineering, you'll discover how to use a special Arduino board to rely on Bluetooth Mate Silver for control of domestic and mobile Arduino projects. Using Bluetooth Mate Silver, you'll learn to implement basic engineering design with almost any Arduino project, andÆbe able to justify, build, debug, and extend Arduino-based designs using a solid engineering approach. Please note: the print version of this title is black & white; the eBook is full color. |
