Beginning Arduino Programming

Reading This Book

Our process in each chapter will be to focus on some fundamental projects that build on the primary concepts presented in that chapter. For each project, we will begin with a project description and discuss the specific hardware needed for that project. We will also provide diagrams and illustrations for making these simple circuits and interfacing them to the Arduino board. As you read through each project, you should take notes and write in the margins—we won’t be offended. Experiment, try new things, and see what happens.

The projects demonstrated in this book are meant to be prototypes, or fundamental proof-of-concept designs for a new device. We will adhere to a degree of minimalism, keeping to simple and easily obtainable ...
