Book Description
This long-awaited second edition of the best-selling Arduino Workshop (over 35,000 copies sold) goes beyond making simple projects to teach beginners how to use the Arduino, in-depth. Arduino Workshop is loved by readers because it focuses on learning how the board works rather than simply making a series of canned projects. All code is explained with the goal of taking readers to the point where they can invent their own projects rather than simply build existing ones. The book’s 65+ hands-on projects reinforce the learning, increasing in complexity and sophistication as the book progresses. Readers apply their knowledge to build projects like a digital thermometer, a GPS logger that records travel data, a keypad-controlled lock that requires a secret code to open, and a motorized remotely controlled tank with collision detection to keep it from crashing. This second edition has been updated to cover updates to the Arduino software and hardware and diagrams and photos to make sure that the discussion and explanations are always clear.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Reviews for the first edition of Arduino Workshop:
When it comes to technology, there’s really something to be said for learning by example, and with each key point focused around a specific project, the information in this book is easy to learn and retain.

Arduino Workshop was the first book I’ve read that helped me really make sense of the practical applications the Arduino is capable of.

A very thorough primer for those wishing to jump on the [Arduino] bandwagon.

I’ve checked out several Arduino “primers,” and found the best one for my purposes to be Arduino Workshop: A Hands-On Introduction with 65 Projects by John Boxall.

A good book for getting started . . . I highly recommend it if you’re thinking about getting into Arduino projects and you’re brand new to this stuff.
