5.0 out of 5 stars Sensors for Dummies
This primer bridges both worlds of Arduino and Raspberry Pi with excellent attention to details for the uninitiated. If you need proven solutions AND willing to fork some $$$ for the sensors you will achieve a sense of satisfaction in quickly reproducing the abundant examples in the book.The more I use the book to evaluate the exercises, the more I am impressed by the attention to detail by the authors. Of course, there will always be opportunities to explain things in more detail for diverse audiences but I have to confess that most of the discrepancies I am capturing below may be due to "operator error!" :)I will append editorial oversights below as I dutifully step through each chapter [be warned: this is not my day job :)]Figure 1-7 does not match Table 1-1Example 3-5 assumes that the on-board LED (pin #13) is used in Figure 3-10Example 3-4 invokes "botbook_gpio.py" which failed compilation in my IDLE 3 environment (I corrected the print statements) at line 25, column 20 for the "wa" dual attribute. Apparently one attribute is allowed in my configuration. Not knowing enough about the low level details, I changed the setting to a single attribute but ran into "timeout" problems with the pulseInHigh(echoPin) method. Perhaps an example of the "operator error" I alluded to earlier.
5.0 out of 5 stars What a great book!!
This is a very good but limited exposure to sensors for both Arduino and Raspberry Pi. If you have interest in both then the whole of the book applies. Although it covers many popular sensors with in-depth sketches, explanations, and diagrams it leaves some untouched. I love the quality of the glossy paper and colored pictures — it rates among the best. I would have preferred separate books for each micro-controller type with coverage of more sensors, but we have what we have. It’s nicely done and in an attractive package.
4.0 out of 5 stars wonderful wonderful wonderful and equals it's weight gold.
the example of compass-Accelerometer worth 10 times the price of the book alone..the book is full color on high quality paper, and full of high quality information with step by step implementation , wiring diagrams and a good explanations of the code lines...kinda fast explanations though, i wish they would have elaborated a bit more.few improvements are required to make it five stars:i would really have appreciated more illustrations explaining theory behind the code specially for the LSM303 experiment, I'm not really a fan of just implementing things that i don't understand.showing the output of programs would have been very helpful in many experiments, but yet none.i felt like the book is either made in a rush, or may be the authors did not want the book to be overwhelming for hobbyists so that they target more audience for the book, i do not know, but the appendix might have been a solution i guess.all in all the book is full of excellent information. I'll watch out for the authors if they publish any other books, I'll definitely buy it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Read
I always wondered how to go about different modules available online interfacing them with Arduino and this book is one stop place for all that and more, Many Thanks to the author for writing such a easy to read and understand book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Monitoring the real world
This book provides as good basis for developing projects with the Arduino and RPi. Very interesting reading and well organized.

Great teaching tool for introducing DIY with Arduino or Raspberry Pi. It gives you a good intro to building these systems to interact with the physical world around us. If you like hands-on you will use this book.
3.0 out of 5 stars It's pretty good.
I like this book, the author is clear and concise.I give this book a 3 because there is no list of components required for the projects. I was hoping to get a parts list or something like that so I could work along with all the projects. I ended up spending a lot of time improvising and researching alternatives or buying other products like the sunfounder raspberry pi starter kit.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good for those with a little knowledge
Book give good information about each type of sensor. It also provides sample code for the sensors.
