INTRODUCTION
Arduino has become the standard microcontroller used by makers, artists, and educators due to its ease of use, low cost, and plethora of interface boards (shields). Plug-in shields can be attached to the basic board, extending the Arduino into the Internet, robotic, and home automation realms. As well as official Arduino hardware, the many types of Arduino-compatible boards that can be programmed from the Arduino IDE mean that you can find a board that suits your project’s requirements and cost constraints.
Simple Arduino projects are easy to make. As soon as you start to stray into territory not covered by the introductory texts, however, you’ll find that things can rapidly become confusing and frustrating as complexity—the enemy ...
