Product Description
Product Description
Arduino is the open-source electronics prototyping platform that’s taken the design and hobbyist world by storm. This thorough introduction, updated for Arduino 1.0, gives you lots of ideas for projects and helps you work with them right away. From getting organized to putting the final touches on your prototype, all the information you need is here!
Inside, you’ll learn about:
- Interaction design and physical computing
- The Arduino hardware and software development environment
- Basics of electricity and electronics
- Prototyping on a solderless breadboard
- Drawing a schematic diagram
Getting started with Arduino is a snap. To use the introductory examples in this guide, all you need an Arduino Uno or earlier model, along with USB A-B cable and an LED. The easy-to-use Arduino development environment is free to download.
Join hundreds of thousands of hobbyists who have discovered this incredible (and educational) platform. Written by the co-founder of the Arduino project, Getting Started with Arduino gets you in on all the fun!

It gives you a bit of history and the philosophy behind Arduino straight from the horses mouth (the author being one of the founders of Arduino).
Some very basic and bite sized electronic theory is explained and then you are straight in being taught by actually doing, some of the masses of things that you can er? do with Arduino!
I feel that the low ratings are by reviewers that should never have bought an introductory book in the first place.
That said it's a small book and when I'm ready I'll be buying a book at more advanced level but I'm not knocking this one at all.
This book does provide some nice, easy examples. You will learn to light an LED, use a button a little, and some coding. However,with a few exceptions, the book does not really explain how or why the code works. It doesn't explain much syntax or how go beyond what is explained. It left me thinking, 'Wow, this is neat, but what's next?'
Also, the final project in the book it a huge leap from the first few, again, with little or no explaination.
It would be fine for a younger child, but left me wanting.
Listmania!
