Arduino is an extremely popular open source platform for hobby electronics, robotics, and even electronic art and music projects. Beginning Arduino provides gentle introduction to the world of electronics using the Arduino. You'll learn basic electronics and programming as you move from very simple projects like controlling traffic lights to more complex projects like creating an RFID reader. Michael McRoberts of Earthshine Electronics will show you how to build these projects using fritzing - a way to see exactly what to plug in and where - but you'll also learn the basics of reading electronics schematics, too. You'll see what parts you need for each project as well as the best places to find them. All of the projects can serve as the basis for more complex projects as you build experience with your Arduino. This book assumes no previous electronics or programming experience. If you've ever wanted to get started with electronics or with the Arduino, this book is for you.
