Arduino in Action
Martin Evans, Joshua Noble, Jordan HochenbaumArduino in Action is a hands-on guide to prototyping and building DIY electronics. You'll start with the basics—unpacking your board and using a simple program to make something happen. Then, you'll attempt progressively more complex projects as you connect Arduino to motors, LCD displays, Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth. You'll explore input/output sensors, including ultrasound, infrared, and light, and then use them for tasks like robotic obstacle avoidance.
What's Inside
• Getting started with Arduino—no experience required!
• Writing programs for Arduino
• Sensing and responding to events
• Robots, flying vehicles, Twitter machines, LCD displays, and more!
Arduino programs look a lot like C or C++, so some programming skill is helpful.
Martin Evans is a professional developer, a lifelong electronics enthusiast, and the creator of an Arduino-based underwater ROV.
Joshua Noble is an author and creative technologist who works with smart spaces.
Jordan Hochenbaum uses Arduino to explore musical expression and creative interaction.
