Description

Get up and running, experimenting, and making fun projects with Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards as quickly as possible. Students and beginning Makers will find this book clearly explains the differences between the Arduino and Raspberry Pi, when to use them, and which purposes best suit each platform. You'll learn to control LEDs, motors of various types, solenoids, AC devices, heaters, coolers, displays, and sound — as well as commanding these devices over the Internet. Beginning with the basics and moving easily into more challenging projects, 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!
