What You'll Discover

Practical and Relevant Projects: Explore a spectrum of projects ranging from simple blinking LEDs to sophisticated IoT devices. Each project is accompanied by in-depth explanations, ensuring a thorough understanding of the workings behind each component.

Step-by-Step Learning: Whether you're starting from scratch or seeking to expand your knowledge, the step-by-step instructions make comprehension and implementation of the projects straightforward and enjoyable.

Support for Arduino UNO R4 WiFi and Minima: All of the projects are supported by the latest Arduino R4 boards, and some additional projects were added to explore some of the new features of the WiFi board such as the LED Matrix, RTC and Internet module.

You will learn in practise how to use the following components with the Arduino:

• LED
• RGB LED
• Push Button
• Active Buzzer
• Passive Buzzer
• Potentiometer
• DHT11 Sensor (temperature and humidity sensor)
• LDR Photoresistor
• DC Motor 5V
• 7 Segment display
• LCD module 16x2
• Transistor
• Diode
• Resistor

Also, you will learn how to build the following projects step by step:

• Light LEDs with Photoresistor
• Light different colours of a RGB LED using the potentiometer
• Create a counter in the 7 segment display when pressing the push buttons, one to decrease, another to increase the value.
• Use the DHT11 to read temperature and humidity and display this info in the LCD display
• Create a musical keyboard with the push buttons and board, sounding different notes per button
• Create an LED bar controlled by the potentiometer
• Light an LED using a transistor and a push button
• Create an auto traffic light
• Play a song using the passive buzzer

This book also includes three exclusive projects to show how to use the new features added to the latest Arduino UNO R4 WiFi board:

• Arduino UNO R4 WiFi LED Matrix
• Arduino UNO R4 WiFi Simple Web Server
• Arduino UNO R4 WiFi Real Time Clock (RTC)

All of the projects are designed as step-by-step guides, containing the project description, components needed, steps to assemble the circuit including a circuit diagram, and also the source code with detailed explanation.
