You got an Arduino - Now what? Arduino Project Handbook is a beginner-friendly collection of electronics projects using the low-cost Arduino board. With just a handful of components, an ­Arduino, and a computer, you'll learn to build and program everything from light shows to arcade games to an ultrasonic security system. First you'll get set up with an introduction to the Arduino and valuable advice on tools and components. Then you can work through the book in order or just jump to projects that catch your eye. Each project includes simple instructions, colorful photos and ­circuit diagrams, and all necessary code. Arduino Project Handbook is a fast and fun way to get started with micro­controllers that's perfect for beginners, hobbyists, parents, and educators. 25 StepbyStep Projects PushbuttonControlled LED Light Dimmer Bar Graph Disco Strobe Light Plant Monitor Ghost Detector Arduino Melody Memory Game Secret Knock Lock JoystickController Laser Remote Control Servo LCD Screen Writer Weather Station Fortune Teller Reaction Timer Game Numeric Counters Electronic Die Rocket Launcher Intruder Sensor Laser Trip Wire Alarm Sentry Gun Motion Sensor Alarm Keypad Entry System Wireless ID Card Entry System Rainbow Light Show Build Your Own Arduino!

Mark Geddes is a lifelong tinkerer and gadget enthusiast. Frustrated with the lack of practical, visual guides to help him teach his 10-year-old how to build with Arduino, he set out to record his own experiments, and The Arduino Project Handbook is the result. Geddes has a bachelor's degree from Edinburgh College of Art. He lives in Dumfries, Scotland.
