Adventures in Arduino (eBook)

Arduino programming for the absolute beginner, with
project-based learning

Adventures in Arduino is the beginner's guide to Arduino
programming, designed specifically for 11-to 15-year olds who want
to learn about Arduino, but don't know where to begin. Starting
with the most basic concepts, this book coaches you through nine
great projects that gradually build your skills as you experiment
with electronics. The easy-to-follow design and clear,
plain-English instructions make this book the ideal guide for the
absolute beginner, geared toward those with no computing
experience. Each chapter includes a video illuminating the
material, giving you plenty of support on your journey to
electronics programming.

Arduino is a cheap, readily available hardware development
platform based around an open source, programmable circuit board.
Combining these chips with sensors and servos allows you to gain
experience with prototyping as you build interactive electronic
crafts to bring together data and even eTextiles. Adventures in
Arduino gets you started on the path of scientists,
programmers, and engineers, showing you the fun way to learn
electronic programming and interaction design.

* Discover how and where to begin Arduino programming

* Develop the skills and confidence to tackle other projects

* Make the most of Arduino with basic programming concepts

* Work with hardware and software to create interactive
electronic devices

There's nothing like watching your design come to life and
interact with the real world, and Arduino gives you the capability
to do that time and again. The right knowledge combined with the
right tools can create an unstoppable force of innovation, and your
curiosity is the spark that ignites the flame. Adventures in
Arduino gets you started on the right foot, but the path is
totally up to you.
