Introduction Intended Audience What Is Interaction Design? What Is Physical Computing? 2. The Arduino Way Prototyping Tinkering We Love Junk! Hacking Toys Collaboration 3. The Arduino Platform The Arduino Hardware The Software Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Installing Arduino on Your Computer Installing the IDE: MacOS Configuring the Drivers: MacOS Port Identification: MacOS Installing the IDE: Windows Configuring the Drivers: Windows Port Identification: Windows Installing the IDE: Linux Configuring the Drivers: Linux Granting Permission on the Serial Ports: Linux 4. Really Getting Started with Arduino Anatomy of an Interactive Device Sensors and Actuators Blinking an LED Pass Me the Parmesan Arduino Is Not for Quitters Real Tinkerers Write Comments The Code, Step by Step What We Will Be Building What Is Electricity? Using a Pushbutton to Control the LED How Does This Work? One Circuit, a Thousand Behaviours 5. Advanced Input and Output Trying Out Other On/Off Sensors Homemade (DIY) Switches Controlling Light with PWM Use a Light Sensor Instead of the Pushbutton Analogue Input Try Other Analogue Sensors Serial Communication Driving Bigger Loads (Motors, Lamps, and the Like) Complex Sensors The Arduino Alphabet 6. Processing with an Arduino Lamp Planning Coding Assembling the Circuit Here’s How to Assemble It 7. The Arduino Cloud Arduino Cloud IDE Project Hub IoT Cloud Arduino Cloud Plans 8. Automatic Garden-Irrigation System Planning Testing the Real Time Clock (RTC) Testing the Relays Electronic Schematic Diagrams Testing the Temperature and Humidity Sensor Coding Setting the On and Off Times Checking Whether It’s Time to Turn a Valve On or Off Checking for Rain Putting It All Together Assembling the Circuit The Proto Shield Laying Out Your Project on the Proto Shield Soldering Your Project on the Proto Shield Testing Your Assembled Proto Shield Assembling Your Project into a Case Testing the Finished Automatic Garden Irrigation System Things to Try on Your Own Irrigation Project Shopping List 9. The Arduino ARM Family What’s the difference between AVR and ARM? What difference does 32 bits really make? What’s the difference between a microcontroller and a microprocessor? Which is better: AVR or ARM? Introducing the Arduino ARM based boards Special Features Operating Voltage Drive Current Digital to Analog Converter USB Host The Nano and MKR footprints 10. Talking to the internet with ARM: An Internet Connected “Fistbump” An internet connected “fistbump” Introducing MQTT: the Message Queueing Telemetry Transfer protocol Internet Connected Fistbump: The hardware Internet Connected Fistbump: MQTT Broker on Shiftr.io 11.
