What you need for this book

In general, for the recipes in this book you will need the following items:

  • An Arduino board
  • A USB cable to connect the Arduino to the computer
  • A breadboard with a jumper wire kit
  • A general set of resistors with values between 100 ohm and 10,000 ohm
  • An assortment of general LEDs
  • A few push buttons and switches
  • 1N4148 and 1N4001/1N4007 diodes

Some of the more focused recipes require specific hardware components in order to implement them. This is a list of specific components required per chapter:

Chapter 2, Blinking LEDs:

  • RGB LED
  • 7-segment display with at least one digit
  • Standard multi-segment bar graph

Chapter 3, Working with Buttons:

  • 4051 or equivalent multiplexer Integrated Circuit (IC)

Chapter 4, Sensors:

  • 10K or other potentiometer
  • LM35 or TMP36 temperature sensor Integrated Circuit (IC)
  • PIR motion sensor
  • Gas sensors such as the MQ-3, MQ-4, MQ-5, and others in the series
  • Sharp IR sensor such as the GP2Y0A21YK
  • Ultrasonic sensor such as the MaxSonar EZ series or similar
  • Simple accelerometer breakout such as the ADXL335
  • Standard I2C
  • Standard GPS receiver with UART communication
  • 4051 or equivalent multiplexer Integrated Circuit (IC)

Chapter 5, Motor Control:

  • Small vibrating motor
  • Standard NPN transistors such as the BC547, 2N3905, or the TIP120
  • Standard Logic Level N Channel MOSFETs such as the IRF510 or IRF520
  • Arduino motor shield
  • Standard RC servo motor
  • ULN2003 or ULN2004 Darlington Array IC
  • Small bipolar stepper motor
  • Brushless motor with suited ESC

Chapter 6, More Output Devices:

  • 8-ohm small speaker
  • Standard NPN transistors such as the BC547, 2N3905, or the TIP120
  • General 5V relay
  • 1.5–3.0 V battery with wire terminals
  • General optocoupler/optoisolator such as the TLP621, 4N35, or LTV-816
  • A 74HC595 shift register

Chapter 7, Digital Communication with Arduino:

  • Another Arduino board
  • RF Link Transmitter and Receiver (434/315 Mhz) or equivalent
  • Arduino compatbile Ethernet Shield
  • LCD character Display
  • Arduino compatible SD shield

Chapter 8, Hacking:

  • A DC motor
  • A resistor between 220 ohm and 4,700 ohm
  • A standard NPN transistor (BC547, 2N3904, N2222A, TIP120) or a logic level-compatible MOSFET (IRF510, IRF520)
  • A standard diode (1N4148, 1N4001, 1N4007)
