Beginning with the basics and moving gradually to greater challenges,
this book takes you step-by-step through experiments and projects that
show you how to make your Arduino or Raspberry Pi create and control
movement, light, and sound. In other words: action! The Arduino is a
simple microcontroller with an easy-to-learn programming environment,
while the Raspberry Pi is a tiny Linux-based computer. This book
clearly explains the differences between the Arduino and Raspberry Pi,
when to use them, and to which purposes each are best suited. Using
these widely available and inexpensive platforms, you'll learn to
control LEDs, motors of various types, solenoids, AC (alternating
current) devices, heaters, coolers, displays, and sound. You'll even
discover how to monitor and control these devices over the Internet.
Working with solderless breadboards, you'll get up and running
quickly, learning how to make projects that are as fun as they are
informative. In Make: Action, you'll learn to: Build a can crusher
using a linear actuator with your Arduino Have an Arduino water your
plants Build a personal traffic signal using LEDs Make a random
balloon popper with Arduino Cool down your beverages with a
thermostatic drink cooler you build yourself Understand and use the
PID control algorithm Use Raspberry Pi to create a puppet dance party
that moves to your tweets!
