Arduino Networking

by Marco Schwartz

Overview

Arduino is a powerful electronic prototyping platform used by over one million people around the world. The Arduino Ethernet shield is the perfect addition to the Arduino platform to get it connected to your local network and to the web in minutes. Using the Arduino Ethernet shield, you can control your Arduino projects remotely from within your local network or from the Web.

This book covers several projects you can build using the Arduino Ethernet shield. These projects are organized in three parts. The first part of the book will cover the basics of the Ethernet shield and the Ethernet library, like how to run an Ethernet client that sends data to a server on your computer. The second part will make the Arduino and Ethernet shield more independent, by running a web server on the Arduino board. The reader will learn how to create, record, and visualize data using Xively service.

The last part of the book is dedicated to the topic of the Internet of Things, with projects that connect the Ethernet shield directly to the Web. The reader will also learn to create an account on Temboo to get access to a wide range of cloud services.
