After the devastating tsunami in 2011, DYIers in Japan built their own devices to detect radiation levels, then posted their finding on the Internet. Right now, thousands of people worldwide are tracking environmental conditions with monitoring devices they’ve built themselves. You can do it too!

This inspiring guide shows you how to use Arduino to create gadgets for measuring noise, weather, electromagnetic interference (EMI), water purity, and more. You’ll also learn how to collect and share your own data, and you can experiment by creating your own variations of the gadgets covered in the book. If you’re new to DIY electronics, the first chapter offers a primer on electronic circuits and Arduino programming.

  • Use a special microphone and amplifier to build a reliable noise monitor
  • Create a gadget to detect energy vampires: devices that use electricity when they’re “off”
  • Examine water purity with a water conductivity device
  • Measure weather basics such as temperature, humidity, and dew point
  • Build your own Geiger counter to gauge background radiation
  • Extend Arduino with an Ethernet shield―and put your data on the Internet
  • Share your weather and radiation data online through Pachube

    I'm a journalist and editor covering the environment, wildlife, and science. I currently work at TakePart.com, the digital news arm of Participant Media.

    Prior to joining Participant in late 2014, I was a longtime freelancer for both online and print publications including The Guardian, Popular Mechanics, OnEarth, and others.

    I contributed to the books "Worldchanging: A Users Guide for the 21st Century," and "The Science Writers' Handbook."

    I am co-author with Patrick Di Justo of "Environmental Monitoring With Arduino," and "Atmospheric Monitoring With Arduino."

    With Jesse Harrington Au, I am co-author of "3D CAD with Autodesk 123D." (Note: Jesse is the 3D design expert, while I contributed technical writing chops.)
