Historical errata for Programming Your Home

In chapter “Preface” on page ii it says “…Each project incorporates a variety inexpensive sensors…”. Shouldn’t it say “a variety OF”?

Projects is spelled wrong:

Some projets can be like building a jigsaw puzzle.

Text uses tenant instead of tenet on first page of Requirements chapter (2)

“considering sharing your discoveries” should be “consider sharing your discoveries”

“replace the broken Ethernet.h in the original #include statement with #include Ethernet2.h” should be “replace the broken Ethernet.h in the original #include statement with Ethernet2.h”

“replace the broken Ethernet.h in the original #include statement with #include Ethernet2.h” should be “replace the broken Ethernet.h in the original #include statement with Ethernet2.h”

In “Ethernet2.h instead”, “instead” is superfluous.

“MAC” has already been defined on page 36 (i.e. “Media Access Control”), so no need to define it again on page 38. Replace: “Media Access Control (MAC)” with “MAC”.

Why have you written “IP Address” on page 38, but “IP address” on page 36?

“packagedelivery” is a database/filename. You shouldn’t let it hypenate/split across lines just like it’s a regular english word.

I recommend you don’t use a sans-serif font for filenames/codes/library names when they’re within regular body text (i.e. inline). You should use fixed-width font (e.g. courier).

The XBee is directly connected to +5V (Figure 14). But it operates on 3.3V. If you connect the XBee directly like this, it might destroy your XBee.

In the code comments at the bottom of the page, it says “poll FLEX _SENSOR”. It should say “poll FORCE_SENSOR”.

The Arduino that I have monitoring my sump pit is sitting in a hobby box mounted on the wall several feel (should be feet, right?) above the sump pit, and the two wires attached to the flex resistor are about two meters (roughly six feet) in length.

I get a problem here:

as well as when i try to “play music”, it goes has an error at –1
