Book Description
Recipes to Begin, Expand, and Enhance Your Projects
Product Description
Create your own toys, remote controllers, alarms, detectors, robots, and many other projects with the Arduino device. This simple microcontroller board lets artists and designers build a variety of amazing objects and prototypes that interact with the physical world. With this cookbook you can dive right in and experiment with more than a hundred tips and techniques, no matter what your skill level is.
The recipes in this book provide solutions for most common problems and questions Arduino users have, including everything from programming fundamentals to working with sensors, motors, lights, and sound, or communicating over wired and wireless networks. You'll find the examples and advice you need to begin, expand, and enhance your projects right away.
- Get to know the Arduino development environment
- Understand the core elements of the Arduino programming language
- Use common output devices for light, motion, and sound
- Interact with almost any device that has a remote control
- Learn techniques for handling time delays and time measurement
- Use simple ways to transfer digital information from sensors to the Arduino device
- Create complex projects that incorporate shields and external modules
- Use and modify existing Arduino libraries, and learn how to create your own

Format:Paperback
I am a beginner using Arduino and the C++ programming language.
I cannot rate this book high enough for Arduino newcomers and am surprised at the low number of reviews compared to Amazon US. My first sketch was using the Servo which worked first time with the help from the excellent schematic diagrams.
My second sketch was driving two motors using a H bridge. Again, with the schematic diagrams I had a small track tank running backwards and forward using modifications of Michael's code. My next sketch used an ultrasonic transducer for distance determination for the above tank. I was able to download all the code from O'Reilly's website. Contrary to a previous reviewer I find the explanations clear and easy to understand. The code is well documented and I am already creating my own functions instead of copying willy nilly. With twenty pages of an Index it is not difficult to locate information. There are numerous tips and tricks covering code problems, electronic components, reading data sheets and other resources. From being a failed hobbyist assembly code programmer trying to get PICs to work, I now can realise my projects with ease thanks to this cookbook. Yes, you can find most of the examples on the web but having a 600 page reference saves a great deal of time. If you are new to Arduino this is the only book you will need. Look at the US reviews from the experienced Arduino programmers for confirmation.

Format:Paperback
I've been dipping into Arduino occasionally for the past few years and could in no way call myself an expert. I've had the book a couple of months now and it has proved extremely useful on a number of occasions.
Of course the internet is a valuable resource but books are useful too!
The book is clearly written and is useful for reference, as I have been using it, or indeed as a cookbook, for people wanting to try out some projects.
Thoroughly recommended.

I bought this book because I had read that it gave anyone reading it a clear understanding of both the hardware and software within it and I was not disappointed. I would highly recommend it.
