Right now, thousands of people worldwide are tracking environmental conditions with monitoring devices they've built themselves. You can do it too! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis inspiring guide shows you how to use Arduino to create gadgets for measuring noise, weather, electromagnetic interference (EMI), water purity, and more. You'll also learn how to collect and share your own data, and you can experiment by creating your own variations of the gadgets covered in the book. If you're new to DIY electronics, the first chapter offers a primer on electronic circuits and Arduino programming. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse a special microphone and amplifier to build a reliable noise monitor \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate a gadget to detect energy vampires: devices that use electricity when they're \"off\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamine water purity with a water conductivity device \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure weather basics such as temperature, humidity, and dew point \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild your own Geiger counter to gauge background radiation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtend Arduino with an Ethernet shield--and put your data on the Internet \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShare your weather and radiation data online through Pachube \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Gertz, Patrick Di Justo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1449310567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781449310561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Make Community, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.21d","brand":"Emily Gertz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935858819327,"sku":"9781449310561","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2901cba9-4e3c-4153-b6ce-8c88710846df.jpg?v=1681422233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/environmental-monitoring-with-arduino-emily-gertz-9781449310561","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
