Other projects in the book, work towards a home automation system, complete with electric door lock, remote control of power and heating. Even making home automation accessible from the Internet and your Android device.
All the projects in this book contain step-by-step construction details. All require some soldering, so a basic familiarity with soldering is required.
Schematic diagrams and layouts for stripboard or perfboard are provided.
All the Arduino Sketches and Android Apps are made freely available, so you do not need to know how to program. However the software is explained for those who want to modify the designs or to understand the basic principals before designing their own projects.
The book also includes an Android Open Accessory Primer appendix for those wishing to understand more about this frameworks and how to program it on both the Arduino and Android sides.
