Dive into the exciting world of electronics and programming with "Arduino Workshop"! This hands-on guide is perfect for beginners and enthusiasts alike, offering a practical approach to learning Arduino and building innovative projects.
A quick scan through this book will show you that you can use the Arduino to do something as simple as blinking a small light, or even something more complicated, such as interacting with a cellular phone—and many different things in between.
For example, have a look at Philip Lindsay’s device. It can receive text messages from cellular phones and display them on a large sign for use in dance halls. This device uses an Arduino board and a cellular phone shield to receive text messages from other phones. The text message is sent to a pair of large, inexpensive dot-matrix displays for everyone to see.
How about creating a unique marriage proposal? Tyler Cooper wanted an original way to propose to his girlfriend, so he built what he calls a “reverse geocache box”—a small box that contained an engagement ring. When the box was taken to a certain area (measured by the internal GPS), it unlocked to reveal a romantic message and the ring. You can easily reproduce this device using an Arduino board, a GPS receiver, and an LCD module, with a small servo motor that acts as a latch to keep the box closed until it’s in the correct location. The code required to create this is quite simple—something you could create in a few hours. The most time-consuming part is choosing the appropriate box in which to enclose the system.
Here’s another example. Kurt Schulz was interested in monitoring the battery charge level of his moped. However, after realizing how simple it is to work with Arduino, his project morphed into what he calls the “Scooterputer”: a complete moped management system. The Scooterputer can measure the battery voltage, plus it can display the speed, distance traveled, tilt angle, temperature, time, date, GPS position, and more. It also contains a cellular phone shield that can be controlled remotely, allowing remote tracking of the moped and engine shutdown in case it’s stolen. The entire system can be controlled with a small touchscreen.
