Arduino is the open-source electronics prototyping platform that’s taken the design and hobbyist world by storm. This thorough introduction, updated for Arduino 1.0, gives you lots of ideas for projects and helps you work with them right away. From getting organized to putting the final touches on your prototype, all the information you need is here!
Inside, you’ll learn about:
- Interaction design and physical computing
- The Arduino hardware and software development environment
- Basics of electricity and electronics
- Prototyping on a solderless breadboard
- Drawing a schematic diagram
Getting started with Arduino is a snap. To use the introductory examples in this guide, all you need an Arduino Uno or earlier model, along with USB A-B cable and an LED. The easy-to-use Arduino development environment is free to download.
Join hundreds of thousands of hobbyists who have discovered this incredible (and educational) platform. Written by the co-founder of the Arduino project, Getting Started with Arduino gets you in on all the fun!

Free Getting Started with Arduino
If planning on gifting someone completely unfamiliar with micro-controllers a book explaining in very broad and basic terms how the Arduino system works, then this is a great buy. If you're savvy enough to use internet resources to learn Arduino - and you know a little about micro-computing and micro-controllers, then there is a deluge of free information at the Arduino website - among many others - without having to pay for cellulose and ink.
The Arduino website has almost everything listed in this book, as well as tutorials and sketches (programs) to implement most everything Massimo Banzi describes in this book. That said, it's a great accompaniment (mainly aesthetic) for an Arduino gift package, and it's more convenient for some individuals to take small bites from this subject, which can become increasingly more complex by orders of magnitude the more you "dig in."
In short the author does a good job of laying out the very general and broad concepts behind Arduino, and he packages it in a thin, portable tome. While I enjoyed reading it at first - when I had no idea how a micro-controller spoke to the world - I quickly realized that it would be better to hand off to someone as a gift to give him/her an idea of what I was doing with Arduino as opposed to keeping it as a reference. In fact, I gave it to an older co-worker who had experimented with 5v digital circuits back in the '70's and '80's when digital calculators were coming of age and TI was in its historical hotspot. He found the book an excellent intro to the concept of physical computing, and he has since been able to integrate much of his understanding of digital logic IC's and basic circuit design with the Arduino platform over time.
