What this book covers

Chapter 1, Power on – Arduino Basics, will teach you to connect, install, and transfer the first program to the Arduino board. This chapter covers the basics of how to use the Arduino board, the types of boards, and how to use the Arduino IDE.

Chapter 2, Blinking LEDs, covers one of the basic uses of Arduino, controlling LEDs. Various types and implementations have been covered, RGB LEDs, blinking and fading LEDs, 7-segment displays, or more advanced control techniques.

Chapter 3, Working with Buttons, will show you how to detect and use buttons as a key input method. Several types of buttons have been covered along with solutions to the most common button implementation issues. Also, ways of connecting more buttons than available digital pins have been shown.

Chapter 4, Sensors, covers the most important sensors that can be connected to the Arduino. Probably the most important thing for Arduino is to be able to read as many parameters from the environment as possible. Using sensors, it can read distance, temperature, light intensity, or even global localization.

Chapter 5, Motor Control, will show you how to connect and control multiple types of motors. Making things move is incredibly easy using motors and Arduino. Small and large, brushless and servos motor along with speed and direction control, have all been covered here.

Chapter 6, More Output Devices, talks about getting more out of Arduino. This chapter covers how to control different loads, how to make sound, how to isolate and protect the board, and how to command more outputs.

Chapter 7, Digital Communication with Arduino, covers several communication protocols such as UART, I2C, Serial, and Ethernet, to get the most out of the communication interfaces available on Arduino. Arduino can communicate with other boards, computers, and even the Internet.

Chapter 8, Hacking, talks about the small hacks that can help an Arduino design go further. It includes speeding up the PWM, reacting to external interrupts, or even storing data inside the Arduino forever.

Appendix, Electronics – the Basics, covers the basics of electronics, such as breadboards, Ohm's law, and so on.
