Want to light up a display? Control a touch screen? Program a robot? The Arduino is a microcontroller board that can help you do all of these things, plus nearly anything you can dream up. Even better, it's inexpensive and, with the help of Beginning Arduino, Second Edition, easy to learn.
In Beginning Arduino, Second Edition, you will learn all about the popular Arduino by working your way through a set of 50 cool projects. You'll progress from a complete Arduino beginner to intermediate Arduino and electronic skills and the confidence to create your own amazing projects. You'll also learn about the newest Arduino boards like the Uno and the Leonardo along the way. Absolutely no experience in programming or electronics required!
Each project is designed to build upon the knowledge learned in earlier projects and to further your knowledge of Arduino programming and electronics. By the end of the book you will be able to create your own projects confidently and with creativity. You'll learn about:
- Controlling LEDs
- Displaying text and graphics on LCD displays
- Making a line-following robot
- Using digital pressure sensors
- Reading and writing data to SD cards
- Connecting your Arduino to the Internet
This book is for electronics enthusiasts who are new to the Arduino as well as artists and hobbyists who want to learn this very popular platform for physical computing and electronic art.

Free Beginning Arduino
I own approximately 10 books centered around the popular Arduino Open Hardware Micro-controller and have reviewed at least 5 of them. This handbook now entering its Second Edition is without question the best text for a beginner. It covers 50 experiments in detail. It begins at the beginning with explanation of code, electronics and full documentation of the parts required. It can be comprehended by anyone with a secondary school education and each experiment is fully documented with a parts list, wiring instructions, an explanation of the hardware's operation and fully explained code listings. The experiments are engaging. They start gently (like most Arduino texts) with an LED flasher, but unlike other beginning texts they proceed through such advanced topics as: ultrasonic ranging, data logging to an SD Card, use of an Internet of Things Data Service, and an Internet connected weather station. The text has been fully updated for current versions of the Arduino IDE, current versions of hardware, and current Internet utilities such as Xively.
The author who has been experimenting with Arduino since 2008 (for instrumenting astrophotography experiments) is the founder of an Arduino-centered parts supplier known as Earthshine Electronics and is a member of London's Hackspace. All code listings, as well as color illustrations of the experiment's setup are downloadable from the book's entry on the Apress website. I highly recommend this book not only for the Arduino beginner but for its extensive documentation of most important topics in microcontroller experimentation.
