Arduino Meets Linux: The User's Guide to Arduino Yún Development

<p><b>Build the next generation of connected projects.</b></p> <p>The Yºn is one of the most powerful and flexible hardware development boards in the Arduino range. It combines the ease-of-use of the Arduino platform, with the power of a 400 MHz Atheros AR9331 Wi-Fi system-on-chip (WiSOC) that runs Linux.</p> <p>But if you are not experienced and confident in working with Linux-based operating systems, it may be difficult for you to use the Yºn to its full potential.</p> <p>Bob Hammell is the author of popular Arduino learning resources, such as <i>Connecting Arduino: Programming and Networking with the Ethernet Shield</i>. In this book, he guides you through all of the Arduino Yºn€s features and explains how to make use of this unique board.</p> <p>Using interesting and fun examples, in <i>Arduino Meets Linux: The User€s Guide to Arduino Yºn Development</i> you can learn how to:</p> <ul> <li>Connect your Arduino Yºn to your network, using built-in support for Wi-Fi and Ethernet;</li> <li>Work with OpenWrt-Yun Linux through the command line;</li> <li>Use the Bridge Library to communicate and share data between both of the Yºn's chips;</li> <li>Write Python and shell scripts to automate tasks and use the power of the AR9331 in your Arduino projects;</li> <li>Work with Temboo and third-party APIs to access popular web services;</li> <li>Host your own websites and application programming interfaces (APIs) on the Yºn;</li> <li>Use USB devices, such as audio interfaces and gamepads from Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation games consoles;</li> <li>Build Arduino projects that act as a keyboard or mouse when you plug your Yºn into a PC or Mac;</li> <li>Add voice recognition and speech to your Arduino projects;</li> <li>Download source code, view demo videos, and access extra projects from the book's companion website, ArduinoMeetsLinux.com;</li> <li>And much, much more.</li> </ul> <p>Whether you are an experienced Linux developer looking for specific details on using the Arduino Yºn or a beginner who has never used Linux before, you can find all of the key information that you need in this book.</p> <p>With the Arduino Yºn, you can take your Arduino projects to the next level. This book shows you how.</p>
