{"product_id":"9781430244479","title":"Practical AVR Microcontrollers: Games, Gadgets, and Home Automation with the Microcontroller Used in the Arduino","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003ePractical AVR Microcontrollers\u003c\/em\u003e, you’ll learn how to use the AVR microcontroller to make your own nifty projects and gadgets. You’ll start off with the basics in part one: setting up your development environment and learning how the \"naked\" AVR differs from the Arduino. Then you’ll gain experience by building a few simple gizmos and learning how everything can be interconnected.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn part two, we really get into the goodies: projects! Each project will show you exactly what software and hardware you need, and will provide enough detail that you can adapt it to your own needs and parts availability. Some of the projects you’ll make:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAn illuminated secret panel \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eA hallway lighting system with a waterfall effect \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eA crazy lightshow \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eVisual effects gizmos like a Moire wheel and shadow puppets \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn addition, you'll design and implement some home automation projects, including working with wired and wireless setups.
