Making Things Talk


Make publications does it again with another great title "Making Things Talk". Full of projects and ideas to make talking objects from anything. Get your copy from us sooner than later!

Making Things Talk is really an incomplete title for this book. If I were chief-of-the-world, I would have named it Making Things Talk to Other Things to Build Cool Stuff. At least they have the byline perfect: "Practical Methods for Connecting Physical Objects".

This is not a book on adding a voice to a device (well, it could be that too, but in a minor way) - it's about getting microcontrollers, PCs and web servers all talking to each other. We're talking about (sorry about that phrase) getting totally different devices to communicate, so you can build some really neat stuff! Here's some of the projects covered:
  • Monski Pong (Control a video game with a fluffy pink Monkey - really!)
  • Networked Air Quality Meter (download & display the latest report for your city)
  • Bluetooth GPS (Build a battery-powered GPS that reports its position over Bluetooth protocols)
  • Make your pet's bed send you email (Why? Why not?)
We're talking about a total of 26 projects!
Let's put it this way - if you want to get things to talk to each other, this is the book for you. This book features easy-to-program Arduino/Wiring, Processing and PHP languages. Like all the other excellent titles in the Make:Projects family of publications, we're talking 417 pages of full-colour, well illustrated & photographed pink-monkey lovin'. And I'm not just saying that - it's true.
