description: Youve mastered the basics conquered the soldering iron and programmed a robot or two; now youve got a set of skills and tools to take your Arduino exploits further. But what do you do once youve exhausted your to-build list?Arduino Playground will show you how to keep your hardware hands busy with a variety of intermediate builds both practical and just-for-fun. Advance your engineering and electronics know-how as you work your way through these 10 complex A reaction-time game that leverages the Arduinos real-time capabilitiesA tool for etching your own printed circuit boardsA regulated variable-voltage power supplyA kinetic wristwatch winder decked out with LEDsA garage parking assistant that blinks when your vehicle is perfectly parkedA practical and colorful pH meterA ballistic chronograph that can measure the muzzle velocity of BB Airsoft and pellet gunsA battery saver that prevents accidental dischargeA square-wave generatorA thermometer that tells the temperature using a sequence of colored LEDsEach project begins with a list of required tools and components followed by the instructions full sketch and circuit board templates for the build as well as directions for building a permanent enclosure. Youll even find the authors design notes which are sure to provide inspiration for your own inventions.Gather your parts break out the soldering iron and get ready to take your Arduino skills to the next level with Arduino Playground .Uses the Arduino Nano and Pro Mini boards.
