Publisher's Synopsis
This book details the author's year-long effort to measure everyday household variables such as temperature, humidity, and ambient light and to subsequently store them on an internet "Cloud" for later analysis. For those with some electronic and computer programming skills, building microcontroller-based prototypes for accomplishing myriads of every-day tasks has become both practical and economical. Hardware may be purchased in many places where electronic parts are sold. Software development tools are available for use on-line or for download to run on a home computer.
