Synopsis

This book is different than many Arduino books in that it expects no previous knowledge in electronics or programming. Instead of going into depth teaching those topics, it teaches only enough so that you can make things. In this book, you will: * Use lights to quickly learn basic programming concepts * Make noise and music on a speaker * Make a digital thermometer * Add graphics to your thermometer to show a graph of recorded temperature * Play with sensors to detect light, magnets, and knocking * Make a rubber band gun that uses a joystick for panning, tilting, and firing * Be encouraged to go create your own projects! There are exercises after each chapter (with sample solutions) to help you make sure you understand the concepts.
