You'll see projects that deal with energy sources—from building your own power strip to running your Arduino board on solar panels so you can actually proceed to build systems that help, for example, to lower your energy bills. Once you have some data, it's time to put it to good use by publishing it online as you collect it; this book shows you how. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The core of this book deals with the Arduino projects themselves:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAccount for heat loss using a heat loss temperature sensor array that sends probes into every corner of your house for maximum measurement.  \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eMonitor local seismic activity with your own seismic monitor. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eKeep your Arduino devices alive in the field with a solar powered device that uses a smart, power-saving design. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eMonitor your data and devices with a wireless radio device; place your sensors where you like without worrying about wires. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eKeep an eye on your power consumption with a sophisticated power monitor that records its data wherever you like. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eArduino Projects to Save the World\u003c\/em\u003e teaches the aspiring green systems expert to build environmentally-sound, home-based Arduino devices.
