Arduino: Circuits and Projects Guide

Arduino users are supported by an array of software libraries. The increasing daily volume of libraries can however, pose problems for newcomers, making the way forward seem unclear. In many cases, detailed descriptions are missing, and projects confuse rather than elucidate. Clear guidance and a single narrative are missing, usually owing to the projects having been created by several different persons-all with different aims in mind. This book represents an entirely different approach. All projects are presented in a systematical manner, guiding into various themed areas. In the coverage of must-know theory, great attention is given to practical direction that users can easily absorb, including essential programming techniques like A/D conversion, timers and interrupts - all contained in the hands-on projects. Readers of this book will create running lights, a wakeup light, fully functional voltmeters, precision digital thermometers, clocks of many sorts, reaction speed meters, and mouse controlled robotic arms. While actively working on these projects, the reader gets to truly comprehend and master the basics of underlying controller technology!
