Arduino Cookbook, 2nd Edition.PDF

Who This Book Is For
Unlike in most technical cookbooks, experience with software and hardware is not
assumed. This book is aimed at readers interested in using computer technology to
interact with the environment. It is for people who want to quickly find the solution to
hardware and software problems. The recipes provide the information you need to
accomplish a broad range of tasks. It also has details to help you customize solutions
to meet your specific needs. There is insufficient space in a book limited to 700 pages
to cover general theoretical background, so links to external references are provided
throughout the book. See “What Was Left Out” on page xiv for some general references
for those with no programming or electronics experience.
If you have no programming experience—perhaps you have a great idea for an interactive
project but don’t have the skills to develop it—this book will help you learn what
you need to know to write code that works, using examples that cover over 200 common
tasks.
If you have some programming experience but are new to Arduino, the book will help
you become productive quickly by demonstrating how to implement specific Arduino
capabilities for your project.
