Description
Transform your tiny Arduino device into a secret agent gadget to build a range of espionage projects with this practical guide for hackers
Key Features
Discover the limitless possibilities of the tiny Arduino and build your own secret agent projects
From a fingerprint sensor to a GPS Tracker and even a robot- learn how to get more from your Arduino
Build nine secret agent projects using the power and simplicity of the Arduino platform
Book DescriptionQ might have Bond's gadgets- but he doesn't have an Arduino (not yet at least). Find out how the tiny Arduino microcomputer can be used to build an impressive range of neat secret agent projects that can help you go undercover and get to grips with the cutting-edge of the world of espionage with this book, created for ardent Arduino fans and anyone new to the powerful device.
Each chapter shows you how to construct a different secret agent gadget, helping you to unlock the full potential of your Arduino and make sure you have a solution for every tricky spying situation.
You'll find out how to build everything from an alarm system to a fingerprint sensor, each project demonstrating a new feature of Arduino, so you can build your expertise as you complete each project. Learn how to open a lock with a text message, monitor top secret data remotely, and even create your own Arduino Spy Robot, Spy Microphone System, and Cloud Spy Camera This book isn't simply an instruction manual - it helps you put your knowledge into action so you can build every single project to completion.What you will learn
Get to know the full range of Arduino features so you can be creative through practical projects
Discover how to create a simple alarm system and a fingerprint sensor
Find out how to transform your Arduino into a GPS tracker
Use the Arduino to monitor top secret data
Build a complete spy robot!
Build a set of other spy projects such as Cloud Camera and Microphone System
Who this book is forThis book is for Arduino programmers with intermediate experience of developing projects, and who want to extend their knowledge by building projects for secret agents. It would also be great for other programmers who are interested in learning about electronics and programming on the Arduino platform.
