R T E D • Arduino starter kits $25-100 on amazon.com • Official Arduino kit ~$90 • Go big for learning • Get a large breadboard • Don’t skimp on parts

@wdnuon D O N ’ T F O R G
E T ! • Needle-nose pliers for tight places • Pliers for cutting and stripping wire • Multimeter with audible feedback • Lots of jumper cables!

@wdnuon P R O T O T Y P I
N G B O A R D S • Choose boards with female risers • Easy interface with jumper cables and shields • Desolder the risers or buy boards with solder pads for permanent projects • Don’t use Adafruit Flora boards intended for wearables • Board comparison chart

@wdnuon W I R E L E S S C
O M M U N I C AT I O N • 433 Mhz: most popular band for basic devices such as switches and sensors. • Low power • Good range (w/external antenna) • Excellent signal penetration • Inexpensive: $2-3 for Tx/Rx pair • Low data rate • Basic protocols, with little or no security • Open source libraries:  433mhzforarduino  rc-switch

@wdnuon 4 3 3 M H Z S W I
T C H E S • Etekcity ZAP 5LX, ~$35 • 5 programmable switches • 2 wireless remotes • On or off; no dimming

@wdnuon T E M P E R AT U R
E S E N S O R S • Meade TS33C-M, $17 • Temperature and humidity • Weather-resistant • Long battery life

@wdnuon R E D B E A R L A
B B L E S H I E L D • Popular (lots of support) • iOS framework and sample apps • Arduino libraries:  nRF8001  ble-sdk-arduino • Inexpensive ($20-25):  redbearlab.com/bleshield/  makershed.com  store-usa.arduino.cc

@wdnuon B L A C K W I D O
W L O N G R A N G E B L E S H I E L D • Long range (up to 450 m) • Customizable • Expensive ($79) • Good tutorial on raywenderlich.com

@wdnuon A R D U I N O I D
E I N S TA L L AT I O N 1. Install latest Arduino IDE in /Applications folder. 2. Install latest Java JRE, from the Terminal:  java —version 3. Open Arduino.app. 4. Plug in Arduino board. 5. Run Blink test sketch.

@wdnuon E M B E D X C O D
E I N S TA L L AT I O N 1. Use Xcode instead of the Arduino IDE, which requires Java. 2. Uninstall Java, if preferred. 3. Download and run installer from  http://embedxcode.weebly.com 4. Create a container folder to hold Arduino projects. 5. Edit ~/Library/Arduino15/preferences.txt to point to container folder:  sketchbook.path=/Users/me/work/Arduino

@wdnuon L O C A L D E V E
L O P M E N T C O N F I G U R AT I O N 1. Create a Libraries folder for shared local libraries inside the container folder from previous step 4. 2. Copy library folders from projects to top-level Libraries folder. 3. Be sure to copy; aliases or symlinks don't work. 4. Remove documentation, examples, and any other unnecessary files to speed up compilation. • Don’t use spaces and special characters in projects name and path!

@wdnuon C R E AT I N G A N
E W A R D U I N O P R O J E C T 1. File > New > Project... 2. Select OS X > embedXcode > embedXcode Local Library 3. Select board type. 4. Use ino extension. 5. Ensure board is plugged in. 6. Build. 7. Verify board LED is blinking.

@wdnuon A D D I N G S H A
R E D L I B R A R I E S 1. Add #include <Header.h> lines as usual in source files. 2. Core System Libraries reside in:  /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/libraries/ 3. Add libraries to Makefile: • APP_LIBS_LIST = for Core System Libraries. • USER_LIBS_LIST = for User libraries. • For fastest compilation, include only necessary libraries. • Names must match library folder names, use spaces as delimiters • Default value of 0 means include no libraries for compiling. • Leave blank to include all libraries (slowest, potential conflicts).

@wdnuon L O C A L • Isolation increases security
• Immune from service disruptions/internet outages • Cannot access remotely over the internet • Cannot integrate with cloud services such as IFTTT.com • Wireless options: • 315/433/915 Mhz RF • Bluetooth LE • WiFi (as long as no hub or router is connected to the internet)

@wdnuon C L O U D • Convenience of remote
access over the internet • Plug-and-play home automation without having to tinker with electronics • Many commercial products and services require a cloud account: • Google (Dropcam and Nest) • Lutron Caséta • SmartThings • Wink • Privacy and security implications: • Your home is exposed to the internet and vulnerable to attack • Network activity alone can reveal occupancy patterns • Data mining: do you trust third-parties with your data? • Security vulnerabilities can let thieves know when you’re home (or not). • Disruptions due to internet outages, third-party service downtime, DDoS attacks, etc.

@wdnuon W I N K H U B • Inexpensive
($0-50) hub from Quirky.com or Home Depot • Requires cloud account • Wink app available on App Store • Interfaces with wide array of devices: locks, thermostats, Dropcam, GE Link, Lutron Caséta • Slow and buggy

@wdnuon W I N K H U B I N
T E R N A L S • Freescale 450 MHz ARM9 SoC • 128 MB NAND Flash • Wi-Fi, Z-wave, ZigBee, Bluetooth LE, Lutron, Kidde antennas • Custom embedded Linux • Early versions rootable • H T T P : / / S TAT U S B I T S . B L O G S P O T. C O M / 2 0 1 4 / 0 7 / W I N K - H U B - T E A R D O W N . H T M L

@wdnuon W E M O W I F I G
A R A G E D O O R O P E N E R • ~$60 DIY project • WiFi provided by gutting a Belkin WEMO switch • Integrates with IFTTT (and therefore Apple Watch)

@wdnuon G A R A G E I O •
Integration with IFTTT and Apple Watch • Wifi-enabled, no pairing required • Requires cloud account for all users (owner and guests) • Allows remote operation over the internet • Blackbox (hub) costs $199-219 • http://garageio.com
