This book is your introduction to to physical computing with the Arduino microcontroller platform. No prior experience is required, not even an understanding of basic electronics. With color illustrations, easy-to-follow explanations, and step-by-step instructions, the book takes the beginner from building simple circuits on a breadboard to setting up the Arduino IDE and downloading and writing sketches to run on the Arduino. Readers will be introduced to basic electronics theory and programming concepts, as well as to digital and analog inputs and outputs. Throughout the book, debugging practices are highlighted, so novices will know what to do if their circuits or their code doesn’t work for the current project and those that they embark on later for themselves. After completing the projects in this book, readers will have a firm basis for building their own projects with the Arduino. Written for absolute beginners with no prior knowledge of electronics or programming Filled with detailed full-color illustrations that make concepts and procedures easy to follow An accessible introduction to microcontrollers and physical computing Step-by-step instructions for projects that teach fundamental skills Includes a variety of Arduino-based projects using digital and analog input and output

shortish but good book
Lore –
Easy to read and gives a great overview of the foundational concepts of building and measuring circuits, creating sketches and getting the most out of your Arduino.

Dies Buch ist super. Echt für Anfänger. Sie sollten die Fortsetzung dieses Buches, für ein fortgeschritteneres Niveau, als Fortsetzung schreiben, vielleicht sogar in zwei weiteren Bänden. Ich kann das Buch (für Anfänger) nur weiter empfehlen.This book is great. Really for beginners. You should write the sequel to this book, for a more advanced level, as a sequel, maybe even in two more volumes. I can only recommend this book (for beginners).

Any child showing any mechanical interest would love this. Note: this is only the book, but products are inexpensive. Easy to follow even for the parent that doesn’t like this type of thing. You will get into it. Really fun product with amazing potential.

Was the book I wanted, the book itself is well written ( first looks ) but arrived damaged. Significant damage to the spine of the book.

I like the repetition!! Although it seems a bit redundant, it actually seems to help it stick.This book has been very helpful. Highly recommended beginner/intermediate.
