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.

Bluetooth Classic

Bluetooth LE, which we saw in Chapter 20, Bluetooth LE, is an excellent choice when we need two devices to communicate wirelessly in short data bursts and where power consumption is a concern. There have been changes with Bluetooth LE with versions 4.2 and 5.0. That make it more appealing for devices that need to transfer large amounts of data or even stream data. However, there is another Bluetooth technology that has been doing this for very successfully for many years, this technology is known as Bluetooth Classic. While the name may imply that this technology is out of date, don't let the name fool you as Bluetooth Classic is used in many Bluetooth devices, and until there are more Bluetooth 5.0 modules available for the Arduino that also support some of the newer features, Bluetooth Classic will remain an excellent choice when we need to transfer large...
