Introduction to Arduino: A piece of cake
By Alan G Smith
This book is different from many Arduino books in that it does not expect any previous knowledge in electronics or programming. Rather than go into teaching those subjects, he only knows enough to make things. In this book, you will: Use the lights to learn basic programming concepts quickly Noise and music on a speaker Create a digital thermometer Add graphics to your thermometer to show a graph of recorded temperature Play with sensors to detect light, magnets, Methods Make a rubber band gun that uses the joystick to wash, tilt and release Be supported to go to create your own projects! There are exercises after each chapter (with sample solutions) to help you make sure you understand the concepts.
