Product Description
Product Description
In Beginning Arduino, you will learn all about the popular Arduino microcontroller by working your way through an amazing set of 50 cool projects. You'll progress from a complete beginner regarding Arduino programming and electronics knowledge to intermediate skills and the confidence to create your own amazing Arduino projects. Absolutely no experience in programming or electronics required!
Rather than requiring you to wade through pages of theory before you start making things, this book has a handson approach. You will dive into making projects right from the start, learning how to use various electronic components and how to program the Arduino to control or communicate with those components.
Each project is designed to build upon the knowledge learned in earlier projects and to further your knowledge in programming as well as skills with electronics. By the end of the book you will be able create your own projects confidently and with creativity.

Customer Reviews
This book is both suitable for a beginner, starting off with several basic projects but also bridges the gap to more advanced projects but without making you feel that you are being left to fill in the gaps as I have found with some other books on this subject.
The learning curve is very well paced and I am looking forward to making my way through all the projects. I am confident that at the end I will be able to design and build my own prototypes which is not something I have felt with the other books available.
In short, highly recommended.
I have since bought several other books on the Arduino and found several things in this book that are not described else where.
This is definitely the book to buy on the Arduino if you only want to buy one,
The book is useful to have on the shelf for ideas and 'proven' designs. By 'proven' - I haven't tested them but it really looks like the authors have (unlike some other electronics books).
I feel inspired to have a go at projects of interest. I like the way the authors also have a "variations" section at the end of each project where additional ideas for where to extend the project are outlined.
My only complaint is that the photos in chapter 1 are so bad I have no idea how the lead editor (Michelle Lowman) let them in. Its a pity.
I would buy the book again.
Listmania!
