In this episode, I introduce you to my new book, Arduinos Without Tears
You can purchase this book from Addie Rose Press here as a pdf, kindle or paperback. As an ebook, you will have access to the video links and can copy the code from the ebook and paste it into blank sketch.
This is the simplest and lowest cost starting guide to the Arduino. It doesn’t get any easier than this.
I designed this book for folks from 8 years old to 80 who want to get started with the Arduino , but have struggled with other books or web sites.
I did two things in this book:
- eliminated the complexity
- eliminated the high cost of entry
All the experiments in this book can be done with just the Arduino itself. No additional components are required. I show you where to purchase an Arduino for as low as $4.
And I introduce you to good programming and science principles along the way. If you are a scientist or engineer, or just a scientist or engineer wannabe, these good habits will be important in your future.
Here is a sampling of the experiments we cover:
- Connecting your computer to your Arduino
- Giving your Arduino a heartbeat
- Measuring your persistence of vision
- The shortest pulse you can see
- Testing your perception of time passage
- Moving measurements from your Arduino into excel
- Testing the randomness of random numbers
- Plotting a random walk
- Measuring a voltage
- Sensing electric fields
- Measuring your static charge

And, this is just book 1 in the series of Saturday Afternoon Low-Cost Electronics Projects series.
