## Description

This valuable little book offers a thorough introduction to the open-source electronics prototyping platform that's taking the design and hobbyist world by storm. Getting Started with Arduino, updated for the latest Arduino release, gives you lots of ideas for Arduino projects and helps you get going on them right away. From getting organized to putting the final touches on your prototype, all the information you need is right in the book.

**Inside, you'll learn about:**

- Interaction design and physical computing
- The Arduino board and its software environment
- Basics of electricity and electronics
- Prototyping on a solderless breadboard
- Drawing a schematic diagram
- Talking to a computer–and the cloud–from Arduino
- Building a custom plant-watering system
 
And more. With inexpensive hardware and open-source software components that you can download free, getting started with Arduino is a snap. To use the introductory examples in this book, all you need is an Ardunio [Uno](https://core-electronics.com.au/arduino-uno-r3-atmega328-assembled.html) or [Leonardo](https://core-electronics.com.au/arduino-leonardo-atmega32u4-with-headers.html), along with a [USB cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-cable-standard-a-b-3-ft-1m.html) and an [LED](https://core-electronics.com.au/#). The easy-to-use, free Arduino development environment runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Join hundreds of thousands of hobbyists who have discovered this incredible (and educational) platform.

Written by Massimo Banzi, the co-founder of Arduino, and Michael Shiloh, Arduino's educational lead.
