It’s about time! My first ever book, Building Wireless Sensor Networks with ZigBee, XBee, Arduino, and Processing has been released by O’Reilly Media. It’s available in hardcopy, Safari Library, ePub, Mobi, PDF, Kindle, as an Apple iBook, and of course in real bookstores and libraries.
I’ll be keeping updated information on this page, including errata, additions and related links.
From the back cover:
Radio networking is creating revolutions in volcano monitoring, performance art, clean energy, and consumer electronics. As you follow the examples in each chapter, you’ll learn how to tackle inspiring projects of your own. This practical guide is ideal for inventors, hackers, crafters, students, hobbyists, and scientists.
- Investigate an assortment of practical and intriguing project ideas
- Prep your ZigBee toolbox with an extensive shopping list of parts and programs
- Create a simple, working ZigBee network with XBee radios in less than two hours — for under $100
- Use the Arduino open source electronics prototyping platform to build a series of increasingly complex projects
- Get familiar with XBee’s API mode for creating sensor networks
- Build fully scalable sensing and actuation systems with inexpensive components
- Learn about power management, source routing, and other XBee technical nuances
- Make gateways that connect with neighboring networks, including the Internet
Congratulations Rob! And would you look at Amazon, a five star rating already! 😉
Hi,
Very good book; I read it and am now starting to actually do something. Where is your errata page and link to enter errata suggestions?
In any case the link to your examples in the downloaded book seems to be pointing to the wrong place.

The publisher is working on putting links from the book’s catalog page. In the meantime here’s where you can submit errata and here’s the downloadable examples.
Was looking for the kit you were talking about in the book over at makershed.com. There doesn’t seem to be one. It gets a bit confusing trying to find everything that is in stock without ordering from 5 different companies. Is there possibly a full on kit somewhere you know about?
A kit is in the works. Watch my blog for more info.
