Overview of this book

This book is a quick, 10-day crash course that will help you become well acquainted with the Arduino platform. The primary focus is to empower you to use the Arduino platform by applying basic fundamental principles. You will be able to apply these principles to build almost any type of physical device. The projects you will work through in this book are self-contained micro-controller projects, interfacing with single peripheral devices (such as sensors), building compound devices (multiple devices in a single setup), prototyping standalone devices (powered from independent power sources), working with actuators (such as DC motors), interfacing with an AC-powered device, wireless devices (with Infrared, Radio Frequency and GSM techniques), and finally implementing the Internet of Things (using the ESP8266 series Wi-Fi chip with an IoT cloud platform). The first half of the book focuses on fundamental techniques and building basic types of device, and the final few chapters will show you how to prototype wireless devices. By the end of this book, you will have become acquainted with the fundamental principles in a pragmatic and scientific manner. You will also be confident enough to take up new device prototyping challenges.

Summary

The Arduino Platform

"Start from wherever you are and with whatever you have got."
- Jim Rohn

The second chapter of this book is dedicated to laying down a strong technical foundation for the years to come in your Arduino based device development. To start off, we will see what the Arduino platform is all about. Then there will be quick introductory topics regarding fundamentals for getting started. This will be followed by a quick but in-depth look at the first Arduino program (known as a Sketch in the Arduino world).

Things you will learn in this chapter :

  • Explanation of the Arduino platform
  • Basic parts of an Arduino board
  • Procedure to setup an Arduino board
  • Writing a basic C sketch (program) for Arduino
  • Blinking the onboard LED (via pin 13)
  • Setting pin modes for peripheral devices
  • Logical HIGH/LOW voltage values
  • Arduino current supply limits
  • Flash Memory (EEPROM...
