Introduction
Thank you for choosing this book.
If you are interested in getting hands-on knowledge that will allow you to build your own Arduino projects, but you do not know where to start, this book is for you!
There is a common myth that building exciting projects with Arduino is a complicated affair, especially if you do not have any prior experience with electronics and programming. This books debunks that myth by guiding you through everything you need to know in order for you to start creating with Arduino.
In this book, you will learn quite a lot, including what Arduino is, why Arduino is the go-to platform for building electronics projects, the components of your Arduino, what you can use your Arduino for, the differences between various models of Arduino, and how to setup the Arduino programming environment and install drivers. This book will also show you how to create your first Arduino sketch, as well as some simple but interesting projects you can build using your Arduino, even if you have never written a single line of code before. The best part is that instead of using complex jargon, this book describes everything in simple and clear language that is perfect for absolute beginners!
Let’s get started...
Chapter 1: What Is Arduino
In this chapter, you are going to learn about Arduino, what it is, what it does, what you get on the board and some of the advantages of using Arduino.
If computing and tech are among your interests, then you will definitely have heard about Arduino, a DIY platform that has become hugely popular among computing and electronics enthusiasts and hobbyists. Even if you are not much of a computing enthusiast, you might have come across the term Arduino in your online travels. So, what is the Arduino?
Arduino is basically an open source platform that can be used as the basis for all kinds of electronics projects. Arduino is made up of two major elements. The first element is a programmable physical circuit board, which is also known as a microcontroller. The second element is the Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which is software that you install on your computer. The IDE allows you to write and upload program code to the microcontroller. I mentioned that the Arduino board is programmable. This means that you can write computer programs that instruct the board on what to do. So, with the right set of instructions, you can program the Arduino to control any kind of hardware project. The Arduino board has the capability to read inputs – the press of a button, data from sensors, etc. – and generate an output – posting something online, switching on a LED light, activating a motor, etc. – based on the input.
The Arduino is the brain child of the Irvea Interaction Design Institute. It was conceptualized as a tool that would allow students with no prior background in programming and electronics to quickly prototype their projects. After its production, the wider community realized that Arduino was more adaptable to constantly changing needs and challenges in the field of electronics. The key behind its mass adoption was its versatility, since it can be used in all kinds
