Posted February 2Feb 2 Building Wireless Sensor Networks Using Arduino Building Wireless Sensor Networks Using Arduino Leverage the Powerful Arduino and XBee Platforms to Monitor and Control Your Surroundings by Matthijs Kooijman Publisher Packt Publishing Published Date 2015 Page Count 192 Categories Computers / Hardware / Chips & Processors, Computers / Programming / Open Source, Computers / Hardware / General, Technology & Engineering / Automation, TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Technical & Manufacturing Industries & Trades, Technology & Engineering / Mobile & Wireless Communications Language EN Average Rating N/A (based on N/A ratings) Maturity Rating No Mature Content Detected ISBN 1784395587 Leverage the powerful Arduino and XBee platforms to monitor and control your surroundingsKey Features: Build your own low-power, wireless network using ready-made Arduino and XBee hardwareCreate a complex project using the Arduino prototyping platformA guide that explains the concepts and builds upon them with the help of examples to form projectsBook Description: Arduino has been established as the de facto standard microcontroller programming platform, being used for one-off do-it-yourself projects as well as prototypes for actual products. By providing a myriad of libraries, the Arduino community has made it very easy to interact with pretty much any piece of hardware out there. XBee offers a great range of low-power wireless solutions that are easy to work with, by taking all of the complexity of wireless (mesh) networking out of your hands and letting you focus on what to send without worrying about the how. Building wireless sensor networks is cost-effective as well as efficient as it will be done with Arduino support.The book starts with a brief introduction to various wireless protocols, concepts, and the XBee hardware that enables their use. Then the book expands to explain the Arduino boards to you, letting them read and send sensor data, collect that data centrally, and then even control your home from the Internet. Moving further more advanced topics such as interacting through the standard Zigbee Home Automation protocol, or making your application power-efficient are covered. By the end of the book, you will have all the tools needed to build complete, real-world solutions.What You Will Learn: Interact with XBee boards using the XCTU program on Windows, OS X, or LinuxMake your Arduino boards communicate wirelessly, using XBee modules in the advanced API modeCentrally collect and store measured sensor data, in the cloud or your own databaseConnect the coordinator Arduino to the Internet and send data to web servicesControl your environment automatically, based on sensor input from your networkInteract with off-the-shelf ZigBee Home Automation devicesMake your devices battery-powered and let them sleep to get months or even years of battery life More Information
