• Practice and learn basic programming etiquette

In Detail

Arduino an opensource physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board. The opensource Arduino software (IDE) makes it easy to write code and upload it to the board. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The environment is written in Java and based on Processing and other opensource software.

With the growing interest in home-made, weekend projects among students and hobbyists alike, Arduino offers an innovative and feasible platform to create projects that promote creativity and technological tinkering.

Arduino by Example is a project-oriented guide to help you fully utilize the power of one of the world's most powerful open source platforms, Arduino. This book demonstrates three projects ranging from a home automation project involving your lighting system to a simple robotic project to a touch sensor project. You will first learn the basic concepts such as how to get started with the Arduino, and as you start building the project, you will develop the practical skills needed to successfully build Arduino powered projects that have real-life implications.

The complexity of the book slowly increases as you complete a project and move on to the next. By the end of this book, you will be able to create basic projects and utilize the elements used in the examples to construct your own devices.

Style and approach

This book follows a project-oriented approach, with multiple images and plenty of code to help you build your projects easily. The book uses a tutorial-based methodology where the concepts are first explained and then implemented to help you develop the projects.

詳細內容

Arduino是一個基於簡單微控制器板的開源物理計算平台，並提供用於為該板編寫軟件的開發環境。開源的Arduino軟件（IDE）使編寫代碼並將其上傳到板子變得容易。它適用於Windows、Mac OS X和Linux。該環境使用Java編寫，基於Processing和其他開源軟件。

隨著學生和愛好者對自製週末項目的興趣日益增長，Arduino提供了一個創新且可行的平台，用於創建促進創造力和技術嘗試的項目。

《Arduino by Example》是一本以項目為導向的指南，幫助您充分利用世界上最強大的開源平台之一Arduino的功能。本書演示了三個項目，從涉及照明系統的家庭自動化項目到簡單的機器人項目和觸摸傳感器項目。您將首先學習基本概念，例如如何開始使用Arduino，並在構建項目時，您將開發成功構建具有現實影響的Arduino項目所需的實用技能。

隨著完成一個項目並轉向下一個項目，本書的複雜性逐漸增加。通過閱讀本書，您將能夠創建基本項目並利用示例中使用的元素來構建自己的設備。

風格和方法

本書採用以項目為導向的方法，配有多張圖片和大量代碼，以幫助您輕鬆構建項目。本書使用基於教程的方法，首先解釋概念，然後實施，以幫助您開發項目。
