The SparkFun Arduino Inventor's Guide

"The SparkFun Arduino Inventor's Guide" is a comprehensive guide that provides a hands-on introduction to the fundamentals of electronics and programming. It's a perfect companion for the Arduino microcontroller, guiding you through 10 exciting projects that help you master the basics of circuits, wiring schematics, and solderless breadboard testing.

The book starts with the basics, helping you understand how circuits work, how to read wiring schematics, and how to build and test projects using a solderless breadboard. It then moves on to more advanced topics, teaching you how to make your hardware interact with the world. The projects range from blinking an LED, building a miniature traffic light, creating an LED screen that displays animated patterns, to constructing a motorized robot that you can control.

Each project in the book is designed to teach you real coding skills. You'll learn how to use variables to store temperature readings, functions to start timers or spin motors, and loops to make decisions. The book is packed with tips and tricks to help you put your own spin on each gadget and take your projects to the next level.
