Science and Engineering Projects Using the Arduino and Raspberry Pi: Explore STEM Concepts with Microcomputers - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

·      Chapter 1: Introduction

Provides a brief summary of the book and the goals.

 

·      Chapter 2: What is STEM

This chapter will expand on the meaning of STEM and why each area is important.  How it is good to understand the differences.  The authors have found there is a bit of confusion and not many examples of good definitions.

o   Science: Expand knowledge

o   Technology: Tools and methods to use

o   Engineering: Solve problems and develop tools 

o   Math: Communication tools to explain the world

 

·      Chapter 3: Arduino Basics

This includes a short history of the Arduino and the basics of how to use it.

 

·      Chapter 4: Raspberry Pi Basics

Short history of the Raspberry Pi and how it works.

 

·      Chapter 5: Data Logging Basics

This section will demonstrate a couple of methods using the Arduino and Raspberry Pi for capturing and logging date.

 

·      Chapter 6: Math for Science and Engineering

Concepts related to graphing and algebra will be covered in this section.  Also the difference between weight, pressure, temperature and mass.  

 

·      Chapter 7: Simple Projects

This section explains several simple projects that can provide date on some basic physical properties.

o   Force: use of the force sensor.

o   Temperature: measuring temperature with two types of sensors.

o   Capturing counts: methods to capture counts of events.

 

·      Chapter 8: Math for Time and Other Dependent Functions

This section will highlight some key math concepts such as time or condition dependency and how they can be used to analyze data and model or simulate system responses.

 

·      Chapter 9: Time/Condition Dependent Projects

These projects gather data that may change based on time.  The projects will show ways to measure and capture the data along with time stamps data.

o   Friction: Friction force can change between motion and the onset of motion. 

o   Acceleration:  sometimes acceleration is confused with velocity, but they are different.  This project highlights that difference and a unique sensor to measure acceleration.

o   Zero gravity:  Unique project that shows how the zero gravity simulator plane works. 

o   Heat transfer: While we often measure temperature, heat transfer is really an important aspect, and this project shows how to measure it.

 

·      Chapter 10: Other Projects

This section details additional interesting projects.

o   Astro photography: This section will show how to use a Raspberry Pi to capture beautiful images of the moon and several planets.

o   Light/radiation: One inexpensive sensor will be highlighted that can measure light intensity in different wave lengths like infrared or visible light.

 

 

·      Chapter 11: Conclusion

 

·      Chapter 12: References

This section provides some additional information to aid the researcher to develop and build projects.

o   Design and decision: Design tools and decision methods will be discussed.

o   Safety concepts: Several sa
