Coding for Kids and Teens: Arduino

The Arduino technology started as an idea in 2003 by Hernando Barragán to simplify the BASIC stamp microcontroller, and reduce costs for students who wanted to purchase such technology.Since 2003, the Arduino technology has rapidly expanded from its humble beginnings in Italy, and is now available worldwide in a number of different models.This book aims to educate beginners on all things Arduino, and will take the reader from a complete novice, to a competent user.Within this book, you will discover the different Arduino models you might like to choose from, the key terms relating to Arduino, the many functions of Arduino, how to set up your Arduino, how read and write code, and finally, how to use your Arduino to power some cool projects!Here Is What You'll Learn About...What Is Arduino?The Key Terms To KnowThe Different Arduino ModelsHow To Set Up The ArduinoCoding For ArduinoArduino ProjectsMuch, Much More!

If you are interested in getting hands-on knowledge that will allow you to build your own Arduino projects, but you do not know where to start, this book is for you! There is a common myth that building exciting projects with Arduino is a complicated affair, especially if you do not have any prior experience with electronics and programming. But that just simply isn't true! This books debunks that myth by guiding you through everything you need to know in order for you to start creating with Arduino. In this book, you will learn quite a lot, including what Arduino is, why Arduino is the go-to platform for building electronics projects, the components of your Arduino, what you can use your Arduino for, the differences between various models of Arduino, and how to setup the Arduino programming environment and install drivers. This book will also show you how to create your first Arduino sketch, as well as some simple but interesting projects you can build using your Arduino, even if you have never written a single line of code before. The best part is that instead of using complex jargon, this book describes everything in simple and clear language that is perfect for absolute beginners!
