Make: Sensors: A Hands-On Primer for Monitoring the Real World with Arduino and Raspberry Pi 1st Edition by Tero Karvinen (PDF)

Description

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.

⭐Good book, fast service

⭐the example of compass-Accelerometer worth 10 times the price of the book alone..the book is full color on high quality paper, and full of high quality information with step by step implementation , wiring diagrams and a good explanations of the code lines…kinda fast explanations though, i wish they would have elaborated a bit more.few improvements are required to make it five stars:i would really have appreciated more illustrations explaining theory behind the code specially for the LSM303 experiment, I’m not really a fan of just implementing things that i don’t understand.showing the output of programs would have been very helpful in many experiments, but yet none.i felt like the book is either made in a rush, or may be the authors did not want the book to be overwhelming for hobbyists so that they target more audience for the book, i do not know, but the appendix might have been a solution i guess.all in all the book is full of excellent information. I’ll watch out for the authors if they publish any other books, I’ll definitely buy it.

⭐This primer bridges both worlds of Arduino and Raspberry Pi with excellent attention to details for the uninitiated. If you need proven solutions AND willing to fork some $$$ for the sensors you will achieve a sense of satisfaction in quickly reproducing the abundant examples in the book.The more I use the book to evaluate the exercises, the more I am impressed by the attention to detail by the authors. Of course, there will always be opportunities to explain things in more detail for diverse audiences but I have to confess that most of the discrepancies I am capturing below may be due to “operator error!” :)I will append editorial oversights below as I dutifully step through each chapter [be warned: this is not my day job :)]Figure 1-7 does not match Table 1-1Example 3-5 assumes that the on-board LED (pin #13) is used in Figure 3-10Example 3-4 invokes “botbook_gpio.py” which failed compilation in my IDLE 3 environment (I corrected the print statements) at line 25, column 20 for the “wa” dual attribute. Apparently one attribute is allowed in my configuration. Not knowing enough about the low level details, I changed the setting to a single attribute but ran into “timeout” problems with the pulseInHigh(echoPin) method. Perhaps an example of the “operator error” I alluded to earlier.

⭐This is a very good but limited exposure to sensors for both Arduino and Raspberry Pi. If you have interest in both then the whole of the book applies. Although it covers many popular sensors with in-depth sketches, explanations, and diagrams it leaves some untouched. I love the quality of the glossy paper and colored pictures — it rates among the best. I would have preferred separate books for each micro-controller type with coverage of more sensors, but we have what we have. It’s nicely done and in an attractive package.

⭐I enjoyed the book because I’m trying to learn more about arduino. I have told others about the book as well.I hope to see more of these books with advanced knowledge.

⭐This is a very useful book, covering the fundamentals. I’ve read the whole thing, it got me going on a much more elaborate project than covered in the book, but almost all the necessary information (save a few bells-and-whistles) was there. My son likes it too, and he’s getting his feet wet now. It was a real good purchase.

⭐I like this book, the author is clear and concise.I give this book a 3 because there is no list of components required for the projects. I was hoping to get a parts list or something like that so I could work along with all the projects. I ended up spending a lot of time improvising and researching alternatives or buying other products like the sunfounder raspberry pi starter kit.

⭐I am really enjoying this book. I am just getting started in robotics and don’t understand all the Arduino and Raspberry Pi code yet. But this book provides a lot of good learning examples.

⭐A mi personalmente que voy por Arduino, me sobra el contenido de raspberry, pero el libro es muy completo.

⭐

⭐Un ottimo testo per tutti quelli che si avvicinano per la prima volta ad arduino o a raspberry pi e vogliano creare progetti in cui si interagisca con il mondo esterno.Ogni capitolo del libro tratta un sensore specifico, mostrando come gestirlo sia con arduino che con raspberry, a seconda di quale sia la piattaforma che preferiate. Il libro segue passo dopo passo il lettore nella realizzazione del progetto, in maniera semplice e completa.Il libro è un’ottimo punto di partenza per neofiti che si avvicinino per la prima volta ad arduino o a raspberry pi, Per utenti avanzati risulterà un po’ ripetitivo, anche se pur sempre utile per gli esempi concreti che offre.

⭐

⭐Bel libro scritto in una inglese semplice da comprendere anche per chi come me possiede una conoscenza a livello scolastico. Ho messo 4 stelle solo perché avrei voluto anche una sezione dedicata ai gps.

⭐

⭐Use this book for projects. Great book.

⭐Buen libro, bien organizado.
