The HackingPhysics Journal is a periodic publication of the HackingPhysics lab (www.HackingPhysics.com). This issue of the HackingPhysics Journal introduces seven Arduino projects with sensors and actuators with no wiring required. You can literally just "plug" the components in the Arduino header sockets and "play". This frees you up to instantly write sketches and begin exploring some pretty cool experiments. We take full advantage of the of General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins' properties to act as sources, sinks and analog inputs. Each issue of the Hacking Physics Journal includes all the details about the hardware and software tools, enough of the principles to use them efficiency and experiments to try yourself.

You can literally copy and paste the example sketches into a blank Arduino sketch and they will run. This is the missing manual to get you started. Subscribe to www.HackingPhysics.com to receive future issues for free.
