It was launched in 2005 to simplify the process of\u003cbr\u003eelectronic prototyping and it enables everyday people with little or no\u003cbr\u003etechnical background to build interactive products. The Arduino ecosystem is a\u003cbr\u003ecombination of three different elements: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA small\u003cbr\u003eelectronic board manufactured in Italy that makes it easy and affordable to\u003cbr\u003elearn to program a microcontroller, a type of tiny computer found inside\u003cbr\u003emillions of everyday objects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA free software application\u003cbr\u003eused to program the board. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn online community, connecting\u003cbr\u003ethousands of people with others to contribute and ask for help with projects. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArduino\u003cbr\u003ein easy steps\u003c\/strong\u003e begins with an explanation of what Arduino is, why\u003cbr\u003eit came into being and what can be done with it. We see what is required both\u003cbr\u003ein terms of hardware and software, plus the writing of code that makes it\u003cbr\u003eactually work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Arduino environment has to be installed\u003cbr\u003eand set up on the user's computer and the book provides full instructions for\u003cbr\u003edoing this with all the operating systems - Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The\u003cbr\u003ebook explains what tools are required to build Arduino projects and also runs\u003cbr\u003ethrough certain techniques, such as soldering, that will be needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArduino\u003cbr\u003ein easy steps\u003c\/strong\u003e then provides a primer in basic electricity and\u003cbr\u003eelectronics, which will help the reader to understand how electronic circuits\u003cbr\u003ework and how to build them. This is followed by another primer, this time on\u003cbr\u003ehow to write the code that will enable users to program their projects, plus\u003cbr\u003ehow to debug that code. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo illustrate how to use Arduino, \u003cbr\u003ethere is a chapter detailing a number of typical projects. For each of these\u003cbr\u003eprojects, the required components, the schematic diagram, and the code are\u003cbr\u003eprovided. The book also takes a look at how to extend the basic Arduino board\u003cbr\u003ewith the use of shields. These enable the user to construct larger and more\u003cbr\u003ecomplex projects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, \u003cstrong\u003eArduino in easy\u003cbr\u003esteps\u003c\/strong\u003e details where the reader can get further information and\u003cbr\u003ehelp on Arduino, advice on how and where to buy Arduino and other required\u003cbr\u003eelectronic parts, and where to find ready-made code that can be freely\u003cbr\u003edownloaded. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStuart Yarnold\u003c\/b\u003e is an electronics engineer who has been working in the industry since leaving college.
