Getting Started With Arduino: The Open Source Electronics Prototyping Platform

Helpful appendix for beginners.Excellent code style. Concise functions and excessive comments.Methodical incremental builds ensure the material is understood.The wireless project was before Arduino Cloud, so you get an extensive example of protocols.

I work with industrial PLCs and components but have always wanted to get into a hobbyist level controller. So, I have an understanding of the relationship between the controller, sensors and actuators yet I’m still starting from scratch with Arduino and coding with C+ and Processing. The writer of this material has done an amazing job of explaining and easing the reader into this world. I’ve read plenty of manuals for PLCs and there all terrible and labor to get through! Reading this and doing the exercises was a lot of fun and EASY. If you’re serious at all about getting into Arduino and robotics or hobbyists projects that require control, just get this book! It has a a lot of references to online material and gives direction to more advanced projects, so you’ll know where to go next!

Pros: it is a great book for beginners at Arduino (it is not, and shouldn’t be a “how to program” book.Cons: Explanation of breadboards is in an appendix, which I didn’t see until much later. Would’ve been nice to be reminded of that at the beginning of the book (say it! NOOB!). Some projects require hardware (I.e., the Lamp) that you won’t have on hand.

I have worked most of my working life with some form of electronics. But, I was always the operator, not working behind the monitor. I have wondered how it all works. This book has lead me through the dark world of building and programing that has opened my eyes to a new field. This should be a textbook in some middle school level. It has been a great book and I would give it 7 stars if I could.

Great book for the Arduino engineer-to-be. Explains it in an easy to follow, simple way. Written by the co-founder of Arduino himself!

Great study book. Goes into detail.

I though that as they mention the author is the creator of arduino, I thought I could get more into a more basic explanation about the syntax is of the arduino language of coding but it's just another way of teaching on how to repeat their projects but do not give the basic tools to teach on how to write your own programs.

Not as good as Charles Platt's 'Make: Electronics' or 'Make More Electronics'. If you haven't checked them out, you should.

Good book to add to the Arduino book library.

Muito bom, para mim, como iniciante.Os esquemas facilitados ajudam muito.

This book is easy to understand for a novice in programming Arduino.Handy size to take with you too.

Have just started it, but a quick skim through looks promising.

This is the third edition of this that I have tead and it is still, in my opinion the best introductory text and one that I recommend to my students. It's easy to understand, takes you gently and doesn't - like so many other books, effectively throw you in the deep end. I might suggest getting a starter kit if you haven't got bits already to help you on your journey - after all this is learning by doing. My other suggestion is to get a genuine Ardiuno. While many of the duplicates are fine, some are not and spending that little bit more helps Arduino to continue to develop.
