Abstract

When working with electronics projects like those in this book, it is often the case that you have to acquire a host of components and tools in order to get started. The projects so far in this book have minimized the components needed, and I have listed what you need for each project. However, if you want to expand your inventory of components but have little experience with electronics, you may not know what to buy. Fortunately, some vendors such as Adafruit are packaging electronic components, accessories, and even some tools together in a kit, making it simple to get started—you just buy the kit!

Notes

  1. 1.

    Technically, switches are the simplest of all sensors.

    There are other ways to do this, but this uses a technique you’ve seen previously.

  6. 6.

    Which is always a good choice and worth the effort.
