We conceived of this book as an introduction to electronics and the Arduino platform for the complete beginner. We have written and illustrated it assuming that the reader has no prior knowledge of either electronics or programming. As the reader progresses through the book, electronics and programming concepts are thoroughly explained, in text and with images. After the reader has completed the book, they will be able to use it as a reference for basic electronics and Arduino programming.
This book should be the jumping-off point for creative projects. When finished reading the book and completing all the exercises in it, readers should be equipped to start developing their own projects. We haven’t covered everything that the Arduino can do, but we have set readers on their way to finding that out for themselves.
Many of the code sketches used in this book are taken from the examples in the Arduino IDE. The other sketches are available on GitHub.
Figure 1-3.
There are several versions of the Arduino; it has been around since 2005 and is constantly evolving. For the purpose of this book, we are concerned with the Arduino Uno. Your Arduino might not look exactly like the Uno shown in Figure 1-3, because we have simplified the drawing in order to point out the sections that concern us. Since the Arduino is open source, you might also purchase a board that does not come directly from the Arduino organization. Just know that for this book we are focused on the Arduino Uno and compatible boards.
We will also need some additional electronic parts and a few tools to build projects with the Arduino. Here is a list of the parts you will need to purchase to complete the projects in this book. We’ll give you more detail about the parts and what they do as we build each project.
