Arduino Workshop

More about the book

The Arduino is an affordable, versatile microcontroller platform that simplifies electronics for DIY enthusiasts. It supports a wide array of input and output add-ons, sensors, displays, and motors, enabling the creation of interactive devices. Through 65 hands-on projects, this workshop guides you in mastering design principles and techniques. Updated for the latest Arduino IDE, it includes current hardware coverage, general electronics concepts, schematic diagrams, and detailed component images. You'll work with touchscreens, LED displays, robotics, wireless sensors, and remote device control via cell phones. Each project reinforces your learning, gradually increasing in complexity and sophistication. You'll also gain valuable coding skills, including creating custom Arduino libraries for code reuse across projects. Example projects include an electronic six-sided die, a GPS logger for travel data, a keypad-controlled lock with a secret code, a binary quiz game, and a motorized remote control car with collision detection. Regardless of your skill level, you'll enjoy the process of harnessing Arduino's power for your DIY creations.
