Although the Arduino isn’t a novelty any longer, there are still many beginners who want to try programming and development with a microcontroller, and to them, it is all new. All beginnings can be difficult, though they should be light and enjoyable. You do not need much or expensive equipment for the examples. The circuits are built on a small breadboard, and, if necessary, connected to an Arduino Uno, which you can program on a Windows PC. You will find clear examples of how to build all circuits, ensuring easy and error-free reproduction.

Mit Arduino – Schaltungsprojekte für Profis wird der Leser umfassend in die Hardware und Software der Arduino-Plattform eingeführt. Einfache, leicht verständliche Projekte am Anfang des Buches führen Schritt für Schritt in die Open-Source-Plattform ein. Die Projekte werden dann zunehmend komplexer, um dem Leser möglichst viele konkrete Lösungsmöglichkeiten aufzuzeigen, die mit dem Arduino-Mikrocontroller auch für angehende Profis zur Verfügung stehen. Dabei wird neben den erforderlichen theoretischen Grundlagen stets größter Wert auf eine praxisorientierte Ausrichtung gelegt. So werden wichtige Techniken wie AD-Wandlung, Timer oder Interrupts stets in Praxisprojekte eingebettet. Es entstehen Lauflichteffekte, ein Aufwachlicht, voll funktionsfähige Voltmeter, präzise Digitalthermometer, Uhren in allen Variationen, Reaktionszeitmesser oder mausgesteuerte Roboterarme. Und ganz nebenbei hat der Leser die Grundlagen der zugehörigen Controller-Technik verstanden und im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes begriffen.
