The Arduino — designed for the novice — has become so popular that there is now an embarrassment of riches when it comes to the amount of information and hardware available. So much stuff is out there that some folks have trouble puzzling out what they need to just get started.
An Arduino Workshop and the associated hardware projects kit bring all the pieces of the puzzle together in one place. Author, Joe Pardue, wrote the Smiley’s Workshop series in Nuts & Volts Magazine and is known for his breezy writing style and lucid illustrations that help folks understand complex technical topics.
With this book and parts kit, you will learn to:
- Blink eight LEDs (Cylon Eyes)
- Read a pushbutton and eight-bit DIP switch
- Sense voltage, light, and temperature
- Make music on a piezo element
- Sense edges and gray levels
- Optically isolate voltages
- Fade LEDs with PWM
- Control motor speed
- And more ...
