Overview of this book

Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino has been used in thousands of different projects and applications by a wide range of programmers and artists, and their contributions have added up to an incredible amount of accessible knowledge that can be of great help to novices and experts alike. Want to build exciting LED projects with Arduino? This book will be your companion to bring out the creative genius in you. To begin with, you will get introduced to the maker movement and the open source hardware development Arduino boards. You will then move on to develop a mood lamp and a remote-controlled TV backlight. As you progress through the book, you will develop an LED cube and will learn to use sound visualization to develop a sound-controlled LED Christmas tree. You will then move on to build a persistence of vision wand. At the end of each chapter, you’ll see some common problems, their solutions, and some workarounds.

About the Reviewer

Timothy Gorbunov was born in the USA. At a young age, he fell in love with building and constructing things just like his dad. Tim became very good at Origami and started to sell it at elementary school. As he grew up, Tim leaned more towards electronics because it fascinated him more than any other hobby. Creating circuits that buzzed or flashed was one of Tim's favorite things to do. As time went by, he started exploring more advanced electronics and programming, and from that point on, he became more and more knowledgeable in electronics. He got hired to help create cymatic light shows at Cymaspace. There, he helped start Audiolux devices, a company that specializes in sound reactive technologies, by helping design their products. Tim does many other things other than electronics, such as fishing and hiking, but most importantly Tim believes in God. Tim spends a lot of time studying the Bible, praying, and going to church. He wants everyone to find the truth, the fact that Jesus Christ died for every person here on earth to bring redemption from their sins and give everlasting life with him in heaven. Tim also reviewed another book, Arduino by Example, Packt Publishing, in which he gained valuable experience in reviewing.
