Making things talk: using sensors, networks, and arduino to see, hear, and feel your world

Making Things Talk shows you how to get your gadgets to communicate with you and your environment.

It's perfect for people with little technical training but a lot of interest. Maybe you're a science teacher who wants to show students how to monitor the weather in several locations at once. Or a sculptor looking to stage a room of choreographed mechanical sculptures.

In this expanded edition, you'll learn how to form networks of smart devices that share data and respond to commands. Call your home thermostat with a smartphone and change the temperature. Create your own game controllers that communicate over a network.
