Getting Started With Arduino: The Open Source Electronics Prototyping Platform (Make) by Massimo Banzi

Arduino is the open source electronics prototyping platform that is the heart of the Maker world. This thorough introduction, updated for the latest Arduino IDE release and the new ARM-based boards, helps you start prototyping right away. From obtaining the required components to putting the final touches on your project, all the information you need is here! Getting started with the Arduino is a snap! To use the introductory examples in this guide, all you need is an Arduino Uno or Nano, along with a USB cable and an LED. The easy-to-use, free Arduino development environment runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Join hundreds of thousands of hobbyists who have discovered this incredible (and educational) platform.

From the Publisher From the Preface Massimo and Michael are delighted to incorporate many changes from the rapidly moving electronics prototyping field into this Fourth Edition of Getting Started with Arduino. This edition adds two new chapters: Chapter 9 introduces the more powerful 32-bit ARM family of Arduino boards, and Chapter 10 describes the Arduino Create online integrated development environment including a new project: the Internet Fistbump. Apart from these new chapters, other updates have taken place: The Fourth Edition is written for version 2.0 of the IDE. Installation of the IDE is now easier, and instructions for Linux have been included. The appendix now includes an overview of all Arduino families, boards, and footprints, and a selection guide. The chapter on the Leonardo has been replaced with a chapter on the updated Arduino Cloud service, including the IoT Cloud and Project Hub. In order to treat all humans with respect, we have made changes to the nomenclature: SPI signal names now follow the Open Source Hardware resolution at oshwa.org/a-resolution-to-redefine-spi-signal-names/ Connector types are now either pin or socket. In keeping with the spirit of the original text, British spelling is used throughout. Over the editions, illustrations have been changed and new ones added. The authors acknowledge the contributions of Elisa Canducci who did the illustrations in the First and Second Editions, Judy Aime’ Castro who revised some existing illustrations and added many new ones in the Third Edition.
