Raspberry pi sensors is a great source for those who want to learn or teach how to use sensors. The author gradually introduces the reader to electronics. Each chapter include the concepts necessary to understand not just how to wire/program the sensor but also explain how it works. Chapter 5 describes how to add an ADC (Analog to Digital) interface to the Raspberry Pi. Regardless if the reader decides not to build any of the other projects listed in the book, ADC project in chapter 5 is a most. ADC support expands your Raspberry PI device interface capabilities. There is one area partially addressed by the author. There are multiple references to I2C interface but no example how to communicate with I2C sensor and gather data sample

Raspberry Pi Sensors"Integrate sensors into your Raspberry Pi projects and let your powerful microcomputer interact with the physical world"Author: Rushi GajjarAs the name suggests, its a book that teaches you how to interface various sensors with the Raspberry Pi.There is lots of electronics, software and a machup to create practical applications. Here's a summary of each chapter:* C1 : Includes basic setup of Raspberry Pi, software installation, Intro to C/Python* C2 : Introduction to basic electronics, working with GPIO ports* C3 : Interfacing the Ultra Sonic Sensor to measure distance* C4 : Interfacing the DHT and LDR sensors to measure temperature and light* C5 : Learn about ADC (Analog to Digital convertors)* C6 : Logging data to internet for analytics* C7 : Attaching an image sensor and processing the images with OpenCVThe best chapter for me was Chapter 6. It gives you a practical insight into how you can instrument data collection and pass it on to an online spreadsheet to get real time analytics.Link to the books:http://www.amazon.com/dp/1784393614 [$14.59 kindle/$29.99 print]https://www.packtpub.com/hardware-and-creative/raspberry-pi-sensors [$23.99 ebook/$29.99 print+ebook]

I am still a beginner of using Raspberry Pi. I have already purchased few sensors without much knowledge and did not know how to use them. This book helped me understanding the use of sensors with some understanding of them. It has a good bit of theory to back the practical protects. It is good approach otherwise it would doing things in dark. Book covers bit of electronics and starting with Linux. This help absolute beginner also to start with the Raspberry Pi. Overall, I find the book is very useful for someone getting started with Raspberry Pi and sensors.
