Overview of this book

Mastering Arduino is an all-in-one guide to getting the most out of your Arduino. This practical, no-nonsense guide teaches you all of the electronics and programming skills that you need to create advanced Arduino projects. This book is packed full of real-world projects for you to practice on, bringing all of the knowledge in the book together and giving you the skills to build your own robot from the examples in this book. The final two chapters discuss wireless technologies and how they can be used in your projects. The book begins with the basics of electronics, making sure that you understand components, circuits, and prototyping before moving on. It then performs the same function for code, getting you into the Arduino IDE and showing you how to connect the Arduino to a computer and run simple projects on your Arduino. Once the basics are out of the way, the next 10 chapters of the book focus on small projects centered around particular components, such as LCD displays, stepper motors, or voice synthesizers. Each of these chapters will get you familiar with the technology involved, how to build with it, how to program it, and how it can be used in your own projects.

Arduino web editor

The Arduino Web Editor enables us to create and upload sketches within most web browsers. Officially the Web Editor is supported with the Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge browsers with the installation of a plugin.

The Web Editor is part of and can be accessed from the Arduino Create project here: https://create.arduino.cc

Before you can install the plugin and use the Web Editor, you will need to create a free Arduino account. Once we are logged in to our account, the site will walk you through installing the plugin. Once the plugin is installed, you should see a page similar to this:

Let's explore the Web Editor to see how to use it.
