You’ve mastered the basics, conquered the soldering iron, and programmed a robot or two; now, you’ve got skills and tools to take your Arduino exploits further. But what do you do once you’ve exhausted your to-build list?

Arduino Playground will show you how to keep your hardware hands busy with various practical and just-for-fun medium builds. Advance your engineering and electronics know-how as you work your way through these ten complex projects:

Reaction-time game that leverages the Arduino’s real-time capabilities
Tool for etching your printed circuit boards
Regulated, variable-voltage power supply
Kinetic wristwatch winder decked out with LEDs
Garage parking assistant that blinks when your vehicle is perfectly parked
Practical and colorful pH meter
Ballistic chronograph that can measure the muzzle velocity of BB, Airsoft, and pellet guns
Battery saver that prevents accidental discharge
Square-wave generator
Thermometer that tells the temperature using a sequence of colored LEDs

Each project begins with a list of required tools and components, followed by the instructions, full sketch, circuit board templates for the build, and directions for building a permanent enclosure. You’ll find the author’s design notes inspiring your inventions.

Gather your parts, break out the soldering iron, and prepare to take your Arduino skills to the next level with Arduino Playground.
