Starts off with the basics (LED`s, buttons, simple sensors) and then goes into advanced topics, which are very useful, but not hard to follow. Every wondered how to do noise reduction on a measurement, Localization through GPS or using brushless motors? As well practical things like using SD Cards for saving files and interrupts for handling external events.I already had some experience with Arduino and read a couple of introduction books.This one is so far the best for me. Providing all the basics the others offer as well and then showing some immensely useful things to build really cool applications.

The book contains all the information you need to start playing with your Arduino kit. In Chapter 1 it starts with information regarding the Arduino IDE and it contains (among other things) information on how to install it on a Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux machine. Personally I think however that the reader may want to start reading the Appendix first (unless you already have enough electronics background). In the Appendix one can find information regarding schematics, Ohm's Law, Resistor configurations, LEDs, breadboards, etc.In my opinion the book seems to be written with a focus on the programming rather than electronics side. As such, many of the unnecessary electronics details are omitted, and you get just enough electronics-related information to make your Arduino projects run smoothly. There is however a lot of focus on the software concepts and as such the code is written very clearly and it’s pretty easy to follow.Some great topics that are included in this book are: button debouncing, button multiplexing, detecting motion, noise reduction (using mean and median filter), measuring distance, 1000 buttons to 1 pin, motor control, shift registers , and very many others. These are great-to-master topics that are useful for many embedded projects not only for Arduinos.One of the great features of the book is that for each project one can find a schematic as well as a realistic breadboard implementation. Throughout the book one will learn how to use buttons, toggle switches, LEDs, potentiometers, temperature sensors, etc.Each project starts with the complete code and then it contains a code breakdown, where each part of the code is explained with more details. I wish the internal references to previous sections would also contain page numbers (for a quicker retrieve).Overall I think this is a pretty good introductory Arduino book which is very easy to follow, and it’s very clear to read. If you are quite advanced in Arduino project then you may want to skip this book, although given the price of it you may want to use it as a quick reference.

It's a great book to learn all kinds of Arduino projects. From simple things to more advanced projects, a great way to get into Arduino development. The projects in this book helped me a lot as a start to build my own things. All the components needed to make the projects are listed and are found in most Arduino starter kits. Some components need to be bought separately but they are easy to find.I can recommend this book if you would like to be introduced to a wide variety of Arduino projects!

This book starts out stressing the use of an Arduino for robotic control, but it's so much more than that. I have a project to build some gear for scoring bicycle races, mostly time trials. My requirements are to get accurate start times of individual racers and obviously finish times.I figured using Arduino or Pi based controllers would be the way to go. The start line for these races is generally separated form the finish line by a couple of hundred feet and on the opposite side of the race course. This makes hard-wired connections a problem. Searching around for books that could help me, I found the Arduino Development Cookbooik. This book looks like it will solve several of the problems I'm facing. I like the fact that the `recipes' provide a basic discussion of the problem, then give a wiring diagram in the form of a schematic and then the breadboard diagram. This makes if really easy to set up the circuit using a breadboard, obviously. Then the code is presented to perform the function but more importantly, then goes into extensive detail about what the steps of the code are performing. If the `recipe' isn't exactly what my project needs, I can see what I would need to do to adapt it to my needs. This book is going to form the basis for my project to be able to read switch closures and the start and finish lines as the bike wheels cross an air line, radio the starting info to the finish line. In addition I'll be able to experiment with the best way of getting that information over a wireless connection, where near field or bluetooth wouldn't be capable of the transmitting over the distances required. In all this is a great book for the Arduino beginner or someone that wants to expand their experience with the Arduino platform.
