About this item

Enter the world of Arduino and its peripherals and start creating interesting projects About This BookMeet Arduino and its main components and understand how they work to use them in your real-world projectsAssemble circuits using the most common electronic devices such as LEDs, switches, optocouplers, motors, and photocells and connect them to ArduinoA Precise step-by-step guide to apply basic Arduino programming techniques in the C languageWho This Book Is ForIf you are a hobbyist who wants to develop projects based on Arduino as the main microcontroller platform or an engineer interested in finding out what the Arduino platform offers, then this book is ideal for you. Some prior knowledge of the C programming language is required.What You Will Learn Select the correct Arduino board to meet the prerequisites of your project Set up a working Arduino development environment and get to grips with all of its inner workings Work with digital and analog outputs to act on external devices Sense your environment in a digital or analog way by using different types of sensors such as potentiometers, photocells, or thermistors Develop time-based projects that will manage the time in a precise manner Make your project interact with other devices via serial communications Use interrupts to deal with unexpected events Get familiar with a complete real-world project that summarizes all the concepts learned throughout the book In DetailThe Arduino is an open source microcontroller built on a single circuit board that is capable of receiving sensory input from its environment and controlling interactive physical objects.
