Build projects that respond to the physical world

Kimmo Karvinen’s guide moves from the basics of sensor circuits to projects built with Arduino and Raspberry Pi. It explains how electronic components turn physical phenomena into signals, then presents ways to read those signals and make a project react. The progression connects foundational circuit work with two widely used computing platforms, including Raspberry Pi’s Linux environment. The projects are framed as both practical and educational, with possibilities extending to internet-connected systems. The book’s subject is hands-on electronics: understanding how sensing works and using that knowledge to create responsive devices.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginners interested in learning how electronic sensors work
  • Makers exploring Arduino- or Raspberry Pi-based projects
  • Readers seeking practical introductions to sensor circuits and connected devices

Book overview

To build electronic projects that can sense the physical world, you need to build circuits based around sensors: electronic components that react to physical phenomena by sending an electrical signal. Even with only basic electronic components, you can build useful and educational sensor projects.

But if you incorporate Arduino or Raspberry Pi into your project, you can build much more sophisticated projects that can react in interesting ways and even connect to the Internet. This book starts by teaching you the basic electronic circuits to read and react to a sensor. It then goes on to show how to use Arduino to develop sensor systems, and wraps up by teaching you how to build sensor projects with the Linux-powered Raspberry Pi.
