Product Description
by Christina Bagain (Author)
Introduction to Arduino is a short, simple but thorough guide to getting started with Arduino. Introduction to Arduino is a cookbook style guide complete with step by step instructions, pictures, and code. While in her introductory level engineering courses at university, Christina felt that the way Arduino was being taught was too complicated for a complete beginner to the topic of electronics engineering, computer engineering, and coding. She had many classmates ask for her help with assignments involving Arduino inside and outside of class. They were intimidated by the Arduino assignments and often ended up copying other students. Later on in her university career, Christina was asked by her professor to help prepare the curriculum of a summer class the school was hosting. It was a middle school student-oriented robotics class, that involved Arduino as its main device. Once again, she was confused by the amount of "fluff" information presented in the courses. How was a middle schooler supposed to enjoy building with Arduino if they were first greeted with massive paragraphs of information they would immediately forget the next day? This is what prompted Christina to write the book, Introduction to Arduino. It is a comprehensive, yet simple guide to Arduino. She hopes that readers will find the information helpful, accessible and easy to understand and digest so that they may grow a love of building with Arduino. This guide uses Arduino Uno and inexpensive Arduino components.
