Science Experiments with Arduinos Using a Multi-Function Board, First Edition, (B&W Version): Book 2 in the Saturday Afternoon Low-Cost Electronics Projects Series (1)

If you can Blink and are looking for more cool experiments to do with your Arduino, this second book in the Saturday Afternoon Low Cost Electronics Projects Series is for you. In Arduinos Without Tears, the first book in this series, I showed you a dozen experiments you can do with just an Arduino and nothing else. With a few simple sketches we leveraged the compute power of the tiny microcontroller to do real science experiments, like testing your persistence of vision, the properties of random numbers and measuring static electric fields. In Science Experiments with Arduinos, we add to the Arduino a simple, low cost multi-function shield with a dozen sensors and actuators. Test your reflexes reacting to lights or sounds, measure the ambient temperature and humidity and data log it into a text file or printed directly into a excel spreadsheet, test your telekinetic and precognitive abilities by experiment, measure the blood flow in your finger, and much more. All the experiments in this book cost less than $7, in total, including the Arduino and add-on board. No wiring, no assembly, just plug and play to explore the world of physical computing for science experiments.
