Description

Physical computing allows us to build interactive physical systems by using software & hardware in order to sense and respond to the real world. C Programming for Arduino will show you how to harness powerful capabilities like sensing, feedbacks, programming and even wiring and developing your own autonomous systems. C Programming for Arduino contains everything you need to directly start wiring and coding your own electronic project. You'll learn C and how to code several types of firmware for your Arduino, and then move on to design small typical systems to understand how handling buttons, leds, LCD, network modules and much more. After running through C/C++ for the Arduino, you'll learn how to control your software by using real buttons and distance sensors and even discover how you can use your Arduino with the Processing framework so that they work in unison. Advanced coverage includes using Wi-Fi networks and batteries to make your Arduino-based hardware more mobile and flexible without wires. If you want to learn how to build your own electronic devices with powerful open-source technology, then this book is for you.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

This is a great resource for Arduino users. It provides users with in depth information about the Arduino. Unlike most books on programming, Julien provides us the rationale for why many of the things are done the way they are. He starts with simple concepts, and takes them to a moderately complex level.The final chapters cover some adanced ground, though not so much as to overwhelm. Here is a nice tidbit that I don't think is documented in the Arduino reference: you can address the ports directly using the Arduino IDE. For example, pins 8-15 are in port B. They can be set by putting in a line like:PORTB=B00111111 (p 486).This will make pins 8-13 outputs, using just a single line of code, instead of a for loop.There are many other useful tips as well as explanations.The example files can be downloaded from packpub.com.I found this book very enjoyable to read. I had no trouble understanding the English. Occasionally, the grammar comes across as odd. But this is first and foremost a technical book. And we are fortunate that the Arduino is part of a great International community.

I found this "big book" really useful, it teaches you the basics to wire, code and develop projects; it explains concepts, gives examples and helps understand C programming. Also very interesting the part dedicated to Max6.Personally, I carry it with me and used it as a reference when I'm working on my own projects.Julien is very professional, his method is very comprehensive and his approach is friendly and funny.In my opinion, this book is highly recommended to anyone interested in physical computing, C programming, Arduino, Interaction Design...

No Problems whatever....good Product !

DamionWaltermeyer Aug 27, 2013

I received a copy in exchange for a review.I'm not sure what the big deal is in a lot of the reviews I've seen. The grammar is no worse than many technical books I've read. It's like talking to someone who is really good at English, but not a native speaker; Occasionally you find yourself catching on a word or phrase, but usually you can figure it out pretty easily.I'm only a little more than halfway through it's 512 pages, but skimming to the end, I see it's much more in-depth than many of the Arduino books I've read. Simon Monk's intro to arduino is actually harder to read to my eyes(Though still a good book). The author spells out many things that are often glossed over and goes much farther than any of the introductory level Arduino books I've seen so far.Summary: A good book to dive into if you can handle some language issues and minor typos.

I'm not going to quibble about grammar. What annoyed me was the lack of focus on C. In a booked entitled "C Programming for Arduino." I'm actually surprised no one else mentioned this.There isn't really a discussion of C per se. Programming the Arduino requires you to write in C/C++ so all books about Arduino discuss programming in C. A book that specifies it is about programming in C should emphasize actually learning C. The reader is left with a broken understanding of C. There's no mention of what the full C would look like coming out of the IDE - where's my main()? Can I alter memory addresses directly? Why might I do that?. How do I program the Arduino with a typical C toolset? This page supplies more of that information in 6 steps: http://www.wikihow.com/Write-Arduino-Software-in-C This is also a nice page: https://balau82.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/programming-arduino-uno-in-pure-c/ Both of these references were found with a quick google search. I expected a discussion of C and how it is used to program an Arduino. What I got was a general discussion of programming an Arduino.I would not have any real issue with this book if the title were something more general like, "Rapid Programming for Arduino from the Ground Up." The content is useful. The author covers material not discussed in the pages I noted above. He leads the newcomer through the Arduino world. Although he does so in a somewhat muddled way. There is good material here and if you are ok with a very informal approach then the book is fine. It just isn't a book on programming an Arduino in C. It's a fairly nice book about programming an Arduino in general. I really hope the author wasn't mislead by Packt into using a title that is incomplete at best and purposefully misleading in the worst case.The author should have included some discussion of topics such as that discussed in the previously mentioned links. If he had then most of the material could have remained the same. Leave out the other languages and frameworks. I'd give bonus points for showing how to implement code from Processing using C instead. Use QT or some other GUI framework for visualization.Other quibbles:Leave out the very brief summary of electricity. If the reader needs that then they really need more than is provided. There are other books for that. That section should have maybe been a glossary or appendix if that.
