E-Books →Range Finding, Object Detection and Object Avoidance (Updated 2023)

This is the fourth book of the Arduino Short Reads series. Book 1 covers everything you need to get started with this popular, low cost and versatile micro controller eco-system. This book looks at how to detect objects using a multitude of infrared and ultrasonic sensors. You then put that knowledge to work with 8 experiments that look at security applications, timing applications, object counting applications and distance measuring applications. You also get to build a simple object avoiding robot and a robot that follows an object. The book finishes by taking an introductory look at LiDAR, 360 degree and robot vision systems.
This series of books are written with the novice engineer in mind, for students or those simply looking to have fun. Whatever your goals are, it is hoped that you find this book useful, engaging and that you have fun.
There are over 680 pages of material in the overall series of books and 76 experiment! The series really is a comprehensive and definitive guide to the Arduino ecosystem, foundation electronics and coding.
