Internet of Things with the Arduino Yun (Paperback)
暫譯: 使用 Arduino Yun 的物聯網

Projects to help you build a world of smarter things with this book and ebook

Overview

• Learn how to interface various sensors and actuators to the Arduino Yun and send this data in the cloud
• Explore the possibilities offered by the Internet of Things by using the Arduino Yun to upload measurements to Google Docs, upload pictures to Dropbox, and send live video streams to YouTube
• Learn how to use the Arduino Yun as the brain of a robot that can be completely controlled via Wi-Fi

In Detail

Internet of Things (IoT) is currently a growing trend in the technology space, and the Arduino Yun is the perfect board to get started with building IoT projects. This book covers many of the powerful features of the Arduino Yun via four exciting projects. The first project is all about sending weather measurements data to a Google Docs spreadsheet for easy online visualization. The second one is about building an energy consumption meter and controlling devices remotely. The third focuses on the field of security, by helping you to build a camera that is triggered by motion and that uploads pictures automatically to Dropbox. Finally, the last project is in relation with the field of robotics, and focuses on building a robot that is controlled via Wi-Fi.

The main focus of this book is to teach everything you need to know to build complex projects using the Arduino Yun, organized around the fields of home automation, security, and robotics.
