Make: Action: Movement, Light, and Sound with Arduino and Raspberry Pi

By Simon Monk
From the basics and progressively to greater challenges, this book takes you step-by-step through experiments and projects that demonstrate how to make Arduino or Raspberry Pi create and control motion, light and sound. In other words: action! Arduino is a simple microcontroller with an easy-to-learn programming environment, while Raspberry Pi is a Linux PC. This book clearly explains the differences between Arduino and Raspberry Pi, when they should be used, and the purposes that suit each.
