Book Description

1 Jan 2012 0071784225 978-0071784221

Program Arduino with ease!

Using clear, easy-to-follow examples, Programming Arduino: Getting Started with Sketches reveals the software side of Arduino and explains how to write well-crafted sketches using the modified C language of Arduino. No prior programming experience is required! The downloadable sample programs featured in the book can be used as-is or modified to suit your purposes.

  • Understand Arduino hardware fundamentals
  • Install the software, power it up, and upload your first sketch
  • Learn C language basics
  • Write functions in Arduino sketches
  • Structure data using arrays and strings
  • Use Arduino's digital and analog inputs and outputs in your programs
  • Work with the Standard Arduino Library
  • Write sketches that can store data
  • Program LCD displays
  • Use an Ethernet shield to enable Arduino to function as a web server
  • Write your own Arduino libraries

In December 2011, Arduino 1.0 was released. This changed a few things that have caused two of the sketches in this book to break. The change that has caused trouble is that the classes 'Server' and 'Client' have been renamed to 'EthernetServer' and 'EthernetClient' respectively. To fix this:

  • Edit sketches 10-01 and 10-02 to replace all occurrences of the word 'Server' with 'EthernetServer' and all occurrences of 'Client' with 'EthernetClient'.
  • Alternatively, you can download the modified sketches for 10-01 and 10-02 from here: http://www.arduinobook.com/arduino-1-0

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Teaching programming using "toy" languages is both popular and effective. The Arduino is well-suited
for this purpose - students who are too old to steer a turtle around a screen and consider themselves
too old to play with lego will still engage with programming leds to flash and stepper motors to move.

I was disappointed with this book but only because it wasn't quite what I expected. As a programmer, I was
looking for a guide to the Arduino. In fact, this is an excellently written guide to programming, and application
to the Arduino is secondary. The book leads the reader through a series of progressively more complicated programming
exercises, explaining what each line does and why the program is put together in that particular way. Different kinds of variables,
types and control structures are introduced gently and well. Embedded programming concepts such timing are discussed at an appropriate
level.

I would highly recommend this book to someone who wanted to teach themselves programming, and prefers to see the results
of their programs come to life through hardware than through text on a screen. It would also be good as a supplement to
a taught course introducing programming using the Arduino.

All of the many exercises in the book are available for free download, but if you are using the book I recommend you type them in yourself
anyway.

This should not be considered an in-depth reference guide to either programming or the Arduino.

By A. Eastham VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book goes through a series of examples that cover a wide range of Arduino tasks. If you have never done any programming before, I would say this book is not for you, unless you want to use one of the examples "almost off the shelf".

However, if you are an experienced programmer in other fields who wants to try their hand with an Arduino, this book is perfect.l I read through the book in one evening and found that I was completely confident in how the Arduino environment all fitted together. I was able to get into my project the next day, initially starting off by modifying a couple of the examples.

Get this book and give the Arduino a try. If you also enjoy working with sensors and basic electronics, you'll have a ball!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good starter 26 May 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Good starter for PROGRAMMING info for Arduino, for example if you have a book or two of projects but want a BRIEF programming reference. Not absolutely necessary, but nice "Icing on the cake" to enjoy.
