Learn to easily build gadgets, gizmos, robots, and more using
Arduino
Written by Arduino expert Jeremy Blum, this unique book uses the
popular Arduino microcontroller platform as an instrument to teach
you about topics in electrical engineering, programming, and
human-computer interaction. Whether you're a budding hobbyist or an
engineer, you'll benefit from the perfectly paced lessons that walk
you through useful, artistic, and educational exercises that
gradually get more advanced. In addition to specific projects, the
book shares best practices in programming and design that you can
apply to your own projects. Code snippets and schematics will serve
as a useful reference for future projects even after you've
mastered all the topics in the book.
Includes a number of projects that utilize different
capabilities of the Arduino, while interfacing with external
hardware
Features chapters that build upon each other, tying in concepts
from previous chapters to illustrate new ones
Includes aspects that are accompanied by video tutorials and
other multimedia content
Covers electrical engineering and programming concepts,
interfacing with the world through analog and digital sensors,
communicating with a computer and other devices, and internet
connectivity
Explains how to combine smaller topics into more complex
projects
Shares downloadable materials and source code for everything
covered in the book
Projects compatible with many official Arduino boards including
Arduino Uno; Arduino Leonardo; Arduino Mega 2560; Arduino Due;
Arduino Nano; Arduino Mega ADK; LilyPad Arduino and may work with
Arduino-compatible boards such as Freeduino and new third party
certified boards such as the Intel Galileo
Exploring Arduino takes you on an adventure and
provides you with exclusive access to materials not found anywhere
else!
