Preface
The Arduino platform makes it really easy to build electronics projects in various domains, such as home automation, Internet of Things, wearable technology, and even healthcare. It's also the ideal platform to build amazing projects for secret agents, which is what we are going to do in this book.
Using the power and simplicity of the Arduino platform, we are going to see how to build several projects that can be easily used by any aspiring secret agent. From audio recorders to GPS trackers, you will be able to make your own secret agent toolkit using the Arduino platform after reading this book.
What this book covers
Chapter 1, A Simple Alarm System with Arduino, is about building an alarm system that is based on the Arduino platform with a motion sensor and a visual alarm.
Chapter 2, Creating a Spy Microphone, is about making a secret recording system that can record the conversations and noises in a room.
Chapter 3, Building an EMF Bug Detector, is about creating a very useful device for any secret agent: a detector to check whether there are other secret agent devices in a room.
Chapter 4, Access Control with a Fingerprint Sensor, is about creating an access control system using your own fingerprint.
Chapter 5, Opening a Lock with an SMS, is about building a project where the secret agent can open a lock just by sending a text message to the Arduino device.
Chapter 6, Building a Cloud Spy Camera, is about making a spy camera that can be accessed from anywhere in the world and can record pictures in Dropbox when motion is detected.
Chapter 7, Monitoring Secret Data from Anywhere, is about learning how to secretly record any kind of data and how to log in this data on the Cloud.
Chapter 8, Creating a GPS Tracker with Arduino, is about creating one of the most useful devices for a secret agent: a GPS tracker that indicates its position on a map in real time.
Chapter 9, Building an Arduino Spy Robot, is about making a small surveillance robot that can spy on your behalf.
What you need for this book
In the entire book, we will be using the Arduino platform so you will definitely need the latest version of the Arduino IDE software.
We will be using a wide range of Arduino boards, shields, and hardware components. You will find all the details about these requirements in the relevant chapters.
Who this book is for
This book is intended for those who want to build exciting secret agent projects using the Arduino platform. For example, it is for those people who are already experienced in using the Arduino platform and want to extend their knowledge by building projects for secret agents. It is also for the people who want to learn about electronics and programming as Arduino is the perfect platform for that.

Chapter 1. A Simple Alarm System with Arduino
I want to start this book with a simple project that any secret agent will want to have, a simple alarm system that will be activated whenever motion is detected by a sensor. This simple system is not only fun to make but will also help us to go over the basics of Arduino programming and electronics, which are the skills that we will use in this whole book.
It will basically be a simple alarm (a buzzer that makes sound, plus a red LED) combined with a motion detector. The user will also be able to stop the alarm by pressing a button.
We are going to do the following in this chapter:
