Arduino Development Cookbook
Over 50 hands-on recipes to quickly build and understand Arduino projects, from the simplest to the most extraordinaryAbout This BookGet quick, clear guidance on all the principle aspects of integration with the ArduinoLearn the tools and components needed to build engaging electronics with the ArduinoMake the most of your board through practical tips and tricksWho This Book Is ForIf you want to build programming and electronics projects that interact with the environment, this book will offer you dozens of recipes to guide you through all the major applications of the Arduino platform. It is intended for programming or electronics enthusiasts who want to combine the best of both worlds to build interactive projects.
What You Will LearnRead data from sensors and take action based on the environmentUse the Arduino to turn on lights, write to screens, or play light showsManipulate motors and other actuators to control the movement of different objectsSet up electronic circuits on a breadboard to interact with the ArduinoExplore hacks to push your project to the next levelMake your projects wireless and make them communicate with the computerIn DetailThe single-chip computer board Arduino is small in size but vast in scope, capable of being used for electronic projects from robotics through to home automation. The most popular embedded platform in the world, Arduino users range from school children to industry experts, all incorporating it into their designs.
Arduino Development Cookbook comprises clear and step-by-step recipes that give you the toolbox of techniques to construct any Arduino project, from the simple to the advanced. Each chapter gives you more essential building blocks for Arduino development, from learning about programming buttons through to operating motors, managing sensors, and controlling displays. Throughout, you'll find tips and tricks to help you troubleshoot your development problems and push your Arduino project to the next level!

A book for the beginning to the more experienced Arduino enthusiastic, perfect to get you started on all your Arduino projects. Arduino Development Cookbook is written by Cornel Amariei and is this young inventors debut book, but you can not tell this by the content, it is all very solid written.
The book starts off with the very basics of programming the Arduino and connecting electronics and without explicitly saying so it builds up to the more advanced functions of the Arduino, not shy using some interesting shields and other expansion boards, making it a nearly complete guide to help you start off almost any project. Every recipe is described to the detail, what you need, how to wire, code breakdown, … and all in clear and understandable language, also for non-native English speakers like myself.
The index is very synoptic and well thought-out, what makes this book very helpful as a reference book for Arduino adepts. For the novice in electronics the basics are nicely rolled up in the appendix of the book, so it is easy to recall to it at any time.
I recommend this book to every Arduino enthusiastic, and to beginners I would advice buying this book combined with some third party starter kit over the official Arduino starter kit.
PRO´S:
- For beginners and advanced users
- Wide range of utilization
- Not limited to basic components
- Very good documented
CONTRA´S:
- Advanced users will not learn very much with this book, but the book could pass for a good reference for there projects.
