Exploring Arduino
Jeremy Blum is an electrical engineer best recognized for his series of educational YouTube films that have taught millions of people across the world about engineering topics. He formerly worked as a hardware engineer at Google [X] and is now the director of engineering at Shaper Tools, where he spends his days developing difficult electromechanical products. He has created solar trackers, prosthetic arms, truss-traversing robots, musical theremins, gesture controllers, home automation systems, augmented reality gear, and other projects.
Exploring Arduino opens to the world of electrical engineering and embedded software. Through a series of progressively difficult projects, you will learn what you need to know about electrical engineering, programming, and human-computer interaction step by step. Jeremy Blum, an Arduino expert, leads you through each build, including code snippets and schematics that will be valuable for future projects. To help you master Arduino, projects include downloadable source code, tips and tricks, and video lessons. You'll learn everything you need to know to create your own microcontroller projects!
This updated second edition covers the rapidly developing Arduino environment and includes new full-color images for easier reference. Servo and stepper motors are discussed in greater depth, and there are more excerpts regarding technical aspects underlying the topics covered in the book. To reflect Arduino's expanding capabilities, wireless networking and the Internet of Things are increasingly more prominently incorporated in advanced projects. You'll discover how Arduino stacks up against the competition and how to choose the best board for your project. If you're ready to start producing, this is the book for you!
