Boot Camp

"For all things magic and beyond, there is the magic wand. For us lesser mortals, we use the Arduino!"

- Kallol Bosu Roy Choudhuri

The book welcomes you with this Boot Camp chapter that explains the organization of the chapters in this book, followed by guidance on how to use the book for maximum benefit. It lists the hardware components and devices that must be procured in order to follow the learning path outlined in the chapters. Most importantly, you will find a comprehensive list of the fundamentals, concepts, and projects that you will learn from this book.

Things you will need to get started

It is advisable to purchase an Arduino Uno starter kit to begin with. Usually a starter kit should cover most of the basic hardware components. However, there may be some advanced components (such as the sensor modules) that will have to be purchased separately. It is recommended you perform your own research for procuring the components at your convenience.

The components in the following table have been listed uniquely and incrementally. For example, a Piezo Buzzer has been used on Day 1 as well as Day 3, however, it has been listed only once for Day 1. This has been done intentionally to assist you during your procurement phase. However, if you want to focus on a particular chapter then you are advised to visit that chapter for a complete list of hardware parts required for the prototypes in that chapter:

Chapter	Hardware requirements (mentioned incrementally)

Description

This book is a quick, 10-day crash course that will help you become well acquainted with the Arduino platform. The primary focus is to empower you to use the Arduino platform by applying basic fundamental principles. You will be able to apply these principles to build almost any type of physical device. The projects you will work through in this book are self-contained micro-controller projects, interfacing with single peripheral devices (such as sensors), building compound devices (multiple devices in a single setup), prototyping standalone devices (powered from independent power sources), working with actuators (such as DC motors), interfacing with an AC-powered device, wireless devices (with Infrared, Radio Frequency and GSM techniques), and finally implementing the Internet of Things (using the ESP8266 series Wi-Fi chip with an IoT cloud platform). The first half of the book focuses on fundamental techniques and building basic types of device, and the final few chapters will show you how to prototype wireless devices. By the end of this book, you will have become acquainted with the fundamental principles in a pragmatic and scientific manner. You will also be confident enough to take up new device prototyping challenges.

What you will learn

? Write Arduino sketches and understand the fundamentals of building prototype circuits using basic electronic components, such as resistors, transistors, and diodes

? Build simple, compound, and standalone devices with auxiliary storage (SD card), a DC battery, and AC power supplies
