Volume 2 of the Arduino Project Handbook is now available. Don't worry if you haven't read the first volume; each project in this book is self-contained and meant to gradually introduce you to the world of Arduino creation. We'll go over some of the key parts of getting started with Arduino here and in the following chapter, so if you've already read Volume 1, you can either skim over it for a refresher or get right into the new projects. The Arduino Uno is a tiny, low-cost microprocessor that can be programmed to operate a wide range of devices and inventions. You'll soon be able to manage a musical keyboard, a temperature-controlled fan, a digital thermometer, a fingerprint entry system, and a variety of other projects using Arduino. The hardware, or microcontroller, which is the brain of the board, and the software, which you'll use to transmit your program to the microcontroller, are the two primary components of an Arduino board. The Arduino integrated development environment (IDE) is free to download, and in this primer, I'll teach you how to utilize it to create a basic project.

ABOUT THIS BOOK
What made me want to write this book in the first place? There are a plethora of tutorials, videos, and articles discussing Arduino and prospective projects on the internet, but many of them lack clear pictures or the code needed to complete these projects. This book is designed to guide you through the construction of basic projects that will encourage you to develop your own innovations as you use the skills and methods you'll learn.
Each project comes with a description of what it will do, the items you'll need, pictures of the setup, simple step-by-step instructions with tables for quick connection references, a circuit diagram (see Figure 1), and the necessary code, so you don't have to worry about learning the program before you start.
Early projects include brief descriptions of what's going on in the code to help you grasp the programming process well enough to make your own changes if you wish to. The sketches are available at No Starch if you don't want to input that much code.
