Quote:In this Book, I emphasized the importance of getting the basics right and learning to master. As an educator for over 15 years, I know first-hand that hitting a roadblock because you lack the fundamental knowledge to progress can be demotivating.
By the end of the Book, you will have a good understanding of the capabilities of the Arduino Uno, the best Arduino for people getting started, and you will be familiar with the capabilities of several of its cousins.
You will be comfortable with the basic prototyping tools and their usage, the basics of the Arduino programming environment, language and programming.
You will be able to use a variety of components, from simple buttons and LEDs to visible color and ultraviolet light and other environmental sensors.
Apart from knowing how to use the components I demonstrate in this Book, you will also learn how to read datasheets, how to use libraries on your own, and how to learn the skills you need to create the gadgets you want. With knowledge comes freedom, and I will help you get there.
