Overview of this book

This book will start with the fundamentals of C programming and programming topics, such data types, functions, decision making, program loops, pointers, and structures, with the help of an Arduino board. Then you will get acquainted with Arduino interactions with sensors, LEDs, and autonomous systems and setting up the Arduino environment. Moving on you will also learn how to work on the digital and analog I/O, establish serial communications with autonomous systems, and integrate with electronic devices. By the end of the book, you will be able to make basic projects such as LED cube and smart weather system that leverages C.

Preface

Invalid device signature when trying to upload a sketch


This can mean one of two things. Either you have the wrong board selected from the Tools | Board menu or you're not using the right version of avr. Arduino uses a slightly modified version of avr to upload sketches to the Arduino board. The standard version queries for the board's device signature in a way that is not understood by the bootloader, resulting in this error. Make sure you're using the version of avr that comes with Arduino.  (Donʼt worry about it if your make a fresh install of the Arduino IDE and use a newer board)
