Arduino Robotic Projects

Chapter 1. Powering on Arduino

Welcome to the wonderful world of Arduino! This small but powerful processor board has become a staple with the robotic hobbyist community, and many have provided open source software to enhance its capabilities. Unfortunately, many, especially those new to embedded systems and programming, can end up so discouraged that the processor board can end up on the shelf gathering dust. The purpose of this first chapter is to help you decide which of the many different Arduinos is right for your application. Then, you'll walk through the steps to get your Arduino powered up and working so that you can begin working on all those amazing robotic projects you've always wanted to create.

It is a very comprehensive book that includes all kind of devices that you can plug into your Arduino for every robotic project you could develop.It is plenty of diagrams, pictures and code samples.It even includes two chapters for sailing and flying robots.Definitely a must read if you plan to build Arduino based robots.

The title should be “Learning Arduino” or something like this because this is the best book I’ve read so far for beginners who want to learn Arduino. The chapters are well-written, everything is clearly explained, images and source code examples are great. The book’s structure is wise and covers everything from choosing an Arduino board to connecting to a Wi-Fi network, using sensors or controlling servos and DC motors. If you want to learn Arduino, don’t hesitate, get this book.
