Arduino: A Quick Start Guide--New from Pragmatic Bookshelf

Raleigh, NC--Arduino is an open-source platform that makes DIY electronics projects easier than
ever. With "Arduino: A Quick-Start Guide" (Pragmatic Bookshelf, $35.00 paperback retail), beginners
can quickly join the worldwide community of hobbyists and professionals who use the Arduino to
prototype and develop fun, useful inventions.

With this Quick-Start Guide you'll be creating your first gadgets within a few minutes, following
the step-by-step instructions and photos throughout the book. You'll build your own motion-sensing
game controller with a three-axis accelerometer, connect the Arduino to the Internet and program
both client and server applications, and create a universal remote with an Arduino and a few cheap
parts. Plus, you'll build your own burglar alarm that emails you whenever someone's moving in your
living room, integrate Nintendo's Wii Nunchuk into your projects, make binary dice, learn how to
solder, and more.

Sidebars throughout the book point you to exciting real-world projects using the Arduino, plenty of
exercises will extend your skills, and "What If It Doesn't Work" sections help you troubleshoot
common problems.

Available in epub, mobi, and PDF direct from the publisher and in paperback from fine bookstores
worldwide.
