What you will need!
Here is a list with hardware you will need for building the projects as described in the book.
Common H/W for all projects – Must have list:
- (At least) One Arduino Board (like the Arduino UNO) or an Arduino-clone like the Seeeduino
- A Breadboard and some jumper wires
- 1K, 10K Ohm and 220Ohm Resistors (1/4 W if they ask you for power at your local h/w store)
- Some LEDs
- A (mini) USB cable for connecting your Arduino with your computer
- Your computer (Mac or PC)
While your Arduino can be powered through your computer’s USB port, it is more convenient to have a separate power source:
Project specific hardware:
- An ATMega Microcontroller (either ATMega128 or ATMega328) with Arduino Bootloader installed
- A pair of 22 pF ceramic capacitors and one 16 MHz crystal oscillator
- One LED (any color of your choice)
- One TMP36 temperature sensor
- 1K, 10K Ohm and 220Ohm Resistors (1/4 W if they ask you for power at your local h/w store)
- One Reed switch or a button
- A BMP085 senso Barometric Pressure Sensor
- A Photoresistor (LDR)
- Some projects (like the 2-board communication and the Arduino reprogramming) require a second Arduino board
- A Bluetooth serial modem
- An Air quality – Gas sensor like the MQ-7 CO sensor
- An Android phone
- One Seeeduino ADK Main Board
- One relay switch
- One 2N3904 NPN transistor
- One 1N4001 diode
- An Arduino Ethernet Shield (WizNet module) or an Ethernet-enabled Arduino
- One WiFi Bee from Seeedstudio or the WiFly Shield by Sparkfun
- One DHT22 humidity and temperature sensor
Additional H/W for Chapter 11 (Project Ideas):
- A Barcode scanner
- A Keypad
- Force Resistive (Pressure) Resistors
- A GPS Arduino Shield
- One Polar Heart Rate Module
- One PulseSensor
- A Servo Motor
- A 16×2 Arduino-compatible LCD
- 1x 9V AC-AC Power Adapter in order to measure the voltage
- 1x 100kOhm resistor
- 5x 10kOhm resistors
- 1x 10uF capacitor
- 1x CT sensor
- 1x 46Ohm resistor
