This is a guest post written by Roy Green of The Sensor Shack , a free online resource for engineers to learn about different types of industrial sensors for measuring temperature, pressure, flow rate, displacement and more. Arduino boards are a range of low cost open source microcontrollers ideal for DIY projects including robotics, drones and environmental monitoring. Although their processing power and RAM are limited, Arduinos have the advantage of being easy to program (there are many fr...
