Arduino for Radio Amateur Applications (eBook)

In addition to a detailed introduction to the exciting world of the Arduino microcontroller and its many variants, this book introduces you to the shields, modules, and components you can connect to the Arduino. Many of these components are discussed in detail and used in the projects included in this book to help you understand how these components can be incorporated into your own Arduino projects. Emphasis has been placed on designing and creating a wide range of amateur radio-related projects that can easily be built in just a few days.

This book is written for ham radio operators and Arduino enthusiasts of all skill levels, and includes discussions about the tools, construction methods, and troubleshooting techniques used in creating amateur radio-related Arduino projects. This book teaches you how to create feature-rich Arduino- based projects, with the goal of helping you to advance beyond this book, and design and build your own ham radio Arduino projects. In addition, this book describes in detail the design, construction, programming, and operation of the following projects:

> CW Beacon and Foxhunt Keyer
> Mini Weather Station
> RF Probe with LED Bar Graph
> DTMF Tone Encoder
> DTMF Tone Decoder
> Waveform Generator
> Auto Power On/Off
> Bluetooth CW Keyer
> Station Power Monitor
> AC Current Monitor

This book assumes a basic knowledge of electronics and circuit construction. Basic knowledge of how to program the Arduino using its IDE will also be beneficial.

The full program listings of the projects in this book can be downloaded free of charge from www.kw5gp.com/Elektor.
