Arduino Cookbook - Michael Margolis.pdf

Who This Book Is For
Unlike in most technical cookbooks, experience with software and hardware is not
assumed. This book is aimed at a broad range of readers interested in using computer
technology to interact with the environment. It is for people who want to quickly find
the solution to hardware and software problems.
You may have no programming experience—perhaps you have a great idea for an interactive
project but don’t have the skills to develop it. This book will help you learn
what you need to know to write code that works, using examples that cover the kinds
of tasks you want to perform.
If you have some programming experience but are new to Arduino, the book will help
you become productive quickly by demonstrating how to implement specific Arduino
capabilities for your project.
People already using Arduino should find the content helpful for quickly learning new
techniques, which are explained using practical examples. This will help you to embark
on more complex projects by showing how to solve problems and use capabilities that
may be new to you.
Experienced C/C++ programmers will find examples of how to use the low-level AVR
resources (interrupts, timers, I2C, Ethernet, etc.) to build applications using the
Arduino environment.
