New To Arduino? This Is The Book For You! - NOW INCLUDES FREE GIFTS! (see below for details) The Arduino boards and software were designed to make creating your own electronic masterpieces as simple as possible. Whether you need a simple motion sensor or want to build a spectacular light display, Arduino can help you to do that! Whether you''ve just bought yourself your first Arduino or you''re thinking of buying one and would like to know more before taking the plunge, this book will provide you with all the information you need to take the first steps into the amazing world of Arduino! Written with the absolute beginner in mind, we''ll be covering all of the essentials and answering all of the questions an Arduino "newbie" is likely to have. First, we''ll look closely at areas such as: Why choose Arduino - What it is and why it''s the platform to go for Getting to grips with the components of your Arduino The operating systems that your Arduino will run on The multitude of uses Arduino is suitable for A thorough breakdown of the anatomy of an Arduino board An introduction to the various Arduino models available and the differences between each How to set up the software required for the operation of your Arduino How to set up the board How to install the required drivers Launching the Arduino board Creating your first Arduino sketch Uploading sketches to your Arduino board Troubleshooting when things don''t go smoothly Your first Arduino project! - A step by step guide to your very first Arduino project! Arduino survival lingo - All of the technical terms you''re likely to encounter in the world of Arduino Essential resources and further reading Next, when you''ve covered the absolute basics: We''ll get you to the position that you can start writing and saving your own sketches. You no longer need to be limited by the sample sketches that you downloaded with the software or coding that you have had to beg, borrow or steal to get - you will be able to write it yourself from scratch! You will learn some of the coding language that you will have to know and how to write the code so that your Arduino board is able to make sense of it. We will go through the difference between analog and digital pins and how they are used on your Arduino board. We will also go through how to set up your workspace and the tools that you need to have. You will learn how to incorporate various sensors, like a simple motion detector, and how to program the system to use the sensors in a useful way, like how to dim the lights, etc. with plenty of sample sketches that you can use to learn from. You will learn how your Arduino board can produce sound and how you can use it to create tunes and control external music players. You will learn how to plan your projects in a logical and organized manner so that they have the best chance of success from the outset. You will be taught about breadboarding and how it can make your life a whole lot easier. And, last but certainly not least, you will learn how to build your own basic robot from scratch in a matter of a few hours! Take the first step towards mastering your Arduino board today.

Mastering Arduino is a practical, no-nonsense guide that will teach you the electronics and programming skills that you need to create advanced Arduino projects. Key FeaturesCovers enough electronics and code for users at any levelIncludes complete circuit diagrams for all projectsFinal robot project combines knowledge from all the chaptersBook Description Mastering Arduino is an all-in-one guide to getting the most out of your Arduino. This practical, no-nonsense guide teaches you all of the electronics and programming skills that you need to create advanced Arduino projects. This book is packed full of real-world projects for you to practice on, bringing all of the knowledge in the book together and giving you the skills to build your own robot from the examples in this book. The final two chapters discuss wireless technologies and how they can be used in your projects. The book begins with the basics of electronics, making sure that you understand components, circuits, and prototyping before moving on. It then performs the same function for code, getting you into the Arduino IDE and showing you how to connect the Arduino to a computer and run simple projects on your Arduino. Once the basics are out of the way, the next 10 chapters of the book focus on small projects centered around particular components, such as LCD displays, stepper motors, or voice synthesizers. Each of these chapters will get you familiar with the technology involved, how to build with it, how to program it, and how it can be used in your own projects. What you will learnExplains the basics of electronics and circuits along with the Arduino IDE and basic C operationsUse sensors to build a mini weather stationControl LEDs using codePower a robot arm using stepper motorsRemotely control your Arduino using RF, Bluetooth LE, and Bluetooth ClassicMake a sound tone generator with buttonsWho this book is for Mastering Arduino is for anybody who wants to experiment with an Arduino board and build simple projects. No prior knowledge is required, as the fundamentals of electronics and coding are covered in this book as well as advance projects.

Presents an introduction to the open-source electronics prototyping platform.

This book is about the Arduino microcontroller and the Arduino concept. The visionary Arduino team of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis launched a new innovation in microcontroller hardware in 2005, the concept of open source hardware. Their approach was to openly share details of microcontroller-based hardware design platforms to stimulate the sharing of ideas and promote innovation. This concept has been popular in the software world for many years. This book is intended for a wide variety of audiences including students of the fine arts, middle and senior high school students, engineering design students, and practicing scientists and engineers. To meet this wide audience, the book has been divided into sections to satisfy the need of each reader. The book contains many software and hardware examples to assist the reader in developing a wide variety of systems. The book covers two different Arduino products: the Arduino UNO R3 equipped with the Atmel ATmega328 and the Arduino Mega 2560 equipped with the Atmel ATmega2560. The third edition has been updated with the latest on these two processing boards, changes to the Arduino Development Environment and multiple extended examples.
