RDA 113

Embedded Systems, Control and the Internet of Things

Microcontrollers, Sensors, Actuators and Connected Devices

A microcontroller costs less than a loaf of bread and contains a processor, memory, timers, converters and communication interfaces on one chip. Programmed well, it turns the circuits of RDA 112 into intelligent devices: an irrigation controller that waters by soil moisture and reports to a farmer's phone, a robot that balances and follows a line, an incubator that holds its temperature to a tenth of a degree, a factory sensor that warns before a machine fails. Connected to a network, thousands of such devices form the Internet of Things. This book teaches how to design, program and connect them.
