Getting Started with Sensors : Measure the World with Electronics, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi

To create electronic projects that can sense the real world, you'll need to build circuits centered around sensors. These are electronic components that respond to physical phenomena by sending an electrical signal. Even with just basic components, you can build practical and educational sensor projects. But when you add Arduino or Raspberry Pi to your project, you can create more advanced projects that react in fascinating ways and can even connect to the Internet. This book first teaches you the basic electronic circuits to read and respond to a sensor. Then it shows you how to use Arduino to develop sensor systems. Finally, it teaches you how to build sensor projects with the Linux - powered Raspberry Pi.

This book is a great tool for those who want to start building sensor - based electronic projects. To use it, start from the beginning to learn basic electronic circuits related to sensors. When you move on to Arduino and Raspberry Pi sections, follow the step - by - step instructions carefully. As you work on your projects, be careful with handling electronic components to avoid short - circuits. When using Arduino or Raspberry Pi, make sure you have the right power supply. To maintain your projects, keep them in a dry and clean place. If you encounter any issues, refer back to the relevant chapters in the book for solutions.
