Description
Building Wireless Sensor Networks: with ZigBee, XBee, Arduino, and Processing by Robert Faludi is a practical guide to creating distributed sensor systems and intelligent interactive devices. You'll learn how to build a series of useful projects, including a complete ZigBee wireless network that delivers remotely sensed data. This book covers the basics of radio networking and its applications in various fields, such as volcano monitoring, performance art, clean energy, and consumer electronics. You'll discover how to tackle inspiring projects of your own using the ZigBee protocol and Series 2 XBee radios. The guide also introduces you to the Arduino open source electronics prototyping platform and XBee's API mode for creating sensor networks. With this book, you'll be able to create a simple, working ZigBee network with XBee radios in under two hours for under $100, and build fully scalable sensing and actuation systems using inexpensive components.
