Arduino: A Quick-Start Guide

May 26, 2010

Summer's coming.  Got anything fun planned?  How about a nice project using 
an Arduino?  Arduino is an open source single-board microcontroller that's 
remarkably inexpensive and simple to learn and program.  This quick-start 
guide will get you started.

We'll post the best of them on our website. Email your pics and descriptions

Arduino: A Quick-Start Guide
--------

Packed with fun, useful devices to create, this Quick-Start Guide will help 
you quickly build your first project--electronic dice. Then you'll build 
your own motion-sensing game controller with a three-axis accelerometer.

The Arduino is a perfect platform for building network devices--you'll learn 
how to connect it to the Internet and program both client and server 
applications.  In one hands-on project, you'll build your own burglar alarm 
that updates your Twitter feed whenever someone's moving in your living 
room. Other projects show you how to integrate Nintendo's Wii Nunchuk into 
your projects. 

Sidebars throughout the book point you to exciting real-world projects using 
the Arduino, and the "What If It Doesn't Work" sections help you 
troubleshoot common problems. This is a hands-on book written to clear away 
all the questions and obstacles that might otherwise get in your way. With 
"Arduino: A Quick-Start Guide", you can quickly join the world-wide 
community of hobbyists and professionals who use the Arduino to prototype 
and develop fun, useful inventions.
