Arduino Projects to Save the World

Arduino Projects to Save the World shows that it takes little more than a few tools, a few wires and sensors, an Arduino board, and a bit of gumption to build devices that lower energy bills, help you grow our own food, monitor pollution in the air and in the ground, even warn you about earth tremors.   Arduino Projects to Save the World introduces the types of sensors needed to collect environmental data―from temperature sensors to motion sensors. You'll see projects that deal with energy ...
