Arduino in action

'Arduino in action' is a hands-on guide to prototyping and building electronics using the Arduino platform. Suitable for both beginners and advanced users, this easy-to-follow book begins with the basics and then systematically guides the reader through projects ranging from their first blinking LED through connecting Arduino to devices like game controllers or their mobile phone.

This book is a hands-on guide to prototyping and building DIY electronics. Readers will start with the basics-unpacking their board and using a simple program to make something happen. Then, the reader will attempt progressively more complex projects as they connect Arduino to motors, LCD displays, Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth.

Readers will explore input/output sensors, including ultrasound, infrared, and light, and then use them for tasks like robotic obstacle avoidance. Arduino programs look a lot like C or C++, so some programming skills are helpful.
