Prepare: Getting Started with Sensors and Arduino

Choose the right sensor for your situation and learn the basic knowledge you need to know to handle it properly. Learn about the various characteristics that determine the performance of the sensor, the interface method, and precautions for use. Install the program to run Arduino and check how to use the library to be used for practice, and you are ready!


Practice: Measuring the pollutants that harm your body

From simple temperature and humidity to fine dust, ultraviolet rays, formaldehyde, and radiation, we will cover 18 sensors that can measure air pollutants and atmospheric conditions that affect the human body. We will explore the specifications, features, and operating principles of each sensor and connect them with Arduino to accurately measure the value.


One more step!: Take on a sensor project

If you have studied how each sensor works and measured the air environment around you, you can now apply the sensor to various projects. In this book, we will make a simple ‘fine dust & temperature and humidity meter' and use LCD, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and RF communication to display the results of the project.
