The Ultimate Compendium of Sensor Projects

This book is about developing projects using the sensor-modules with Arduino Uno, Raspberry Pi and ESP32 microcontroller development systems. More than 40 different sensors types are used in various projects in the book. The book explains in simple terms and with tested and fully working example projects, how to use the sensors in your project. The projects provided in the book include the following:



Changing LED brightness

RGB LEDs

Creating rainbow colours

Magic wand

Silent door alarm

Dark sensor with relay

Secret key

Magic light cup

Decoding commercial IR handsets

Controlling TV channels with IT sensors

Target shooting detector

Shock time duration measurement

Ultrasonic reverse parking

Toggle lights by clapping hands

Playing melody

Measuring magnetic field strength

Joystick musical instrument

Line tracking

Displaying temperature

Temperature ON/OFF control

Mobile phone-based Wi-Fi projects

Mobile phone-based Bluetooth projects

Sending data to the Cloud



The projects have been organized with increasing levels of difficulty. Readers are encouraged to tackle the projects in the order given. A specially prepared sensor kit is available from Elektor. With the help of this hardware, it should be easy and fun to build the projects in this book.
