Push into new fields of technology using LEGO and Arduino with the projects in this Cookbook.
MINDSTORMS EV3 inventions don't have to be confined to LEGO factory-made sensors. Incorporate a
wide range of sensors displays LED arrays actuators and even a smartphone into your
creations. Add amazing capabilities to your LEGOs by building things such as a metal detector
long-range lidar audio spectrum analyzer weather station and a smartphone. Step-by-step
instructions bring these new devices to life. You'll work with the reliable and inexpensive
Arduino UNO to take your projects even further and make them truly smart. Learn to set up and
program your Arduino UNO. Then learn data communications protocols (I2C SPI and PWM) to link
sensors to the Arduino. A variety of data communications techniques are also demonstrated on
passing data between the Arduino and the MINDSTORMS EV3 Intelligent Brick. Equipped with these
new tools LEGO inventors can build vast new capabilities into their designs. What You'll Learn
Interface new sensors devices and communications with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Work with
communication protocols of pulse width modulation (PWM) I2c and SPI Convert pulse width
modulation to analog voltage with resistor and capacitor components Who This Book Is ForTech
savvy fans of LEGO projects and hardware hackers. Also coaches or students involved in a school
science technology project or design competition.
