Make: Sensors is the definitive introduction and guide to the sometimes-tricky world of using sensors to monitor the physical world. With dozens of projects and experiments for you to build, this book shows you how to build sensor projects with both Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Use Arduino when you need a low-power, low-complexity brain for your sensor, and choose Raspberry Pi when you need to perform additional processing using the Linux operating system running on that device. You'll learn about touch sensors, light sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetic sensors, as well as temperature, humidity, and gas sensors.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Tero Karvinen, Kimmo Karvinen, Ville Valtokari<br><b>Publisher:</b> Make Community, LLC<br><b>Published:</b> 07/01/2014<br><b>Pages:</b> 400<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.75lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.20h x 7.58w x 0.70d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781449368104<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p>Tero Karvinen teaches Linux and embedded systems in Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences, where his work has also included curriculum development and research in wireless networking.
