About This Book
The Arduino platform is great because it allows anyone with a desire to build awesome things the ability to easily create a prototype using a subset of C and C++ programming and specific Arduino functions.
The Arduino Book for Beginners is a tutorial style collection of lessons designed to be simple and easy to follow which uses only the most relevant circuits and programs and assumes nothing about your prior electronics or programming experience.
The book also comes with access to over 15 supplemental video lessons to help drive home concepts. These supplemental video lessons are pulled from training at Programming Electronics Academy, the premiere online training website for learning to program Arduino.
What you will Learn:
- How to program your Arduino...from variables to arrays, for loops and if statements
- How to make your Arduino respond to sensors
- How to communicate to your computer with the Arduino
- How to build teleporters, levitating fortresses and nuclear reactors (maybe a stretch...)
This book covers the most useful, enlightening and simplest examples to get you started on the road to hacking just about anything.
What to Expect:
- Step-by-step instructions to walk you through building circuits and programming your Arduino
- Each line of code in the programs are discussed to maximize your understanding of the fundamentals
- Repetition of the basic programming building blocks are used to increase your retention of the material
- Only a handful of additional parts are necessary to complete the course lessons, many of which are reused from lesson to lesson, reducing your investment in learning how to use Arduino
- The simple building blocks you learn will be put together to build more complex examples

Frequently asked questions
How do I cancel my subscription?
Can/how do I download books?
At the moment all of our mobile-responsive ePub books are available to download via the app. Most of our PDFs are also available to download and we're working on making the final remaining ones downloadable now. Learn more here.
What is the difference between the pricing plans?
Both plans give you full access to the library and all of Perlego’s features. The only differences are the price and subscription period: With the annual plan you’ll save around 30% compared to 12 months on the monthly plan.
What is Perlego?
We are an online textbook subscription service, where you can get access to an entire online library for less than the price of a single book per month. With over 1 million books across 1000+ topics, we’ve got you covered! Learn more here.
Do you support text-to-speech?
Look out for the read-aloud symbol on your next book to see if you can listen to it. The read-aloud tool reads text aloud for you, highlighting the text as it is being read. You can pause it, speed it up and slow it down. Learn more here.
Is Arduino Book for Beginners an online PDF/ePUB?
Yes, you can access Arduino Book for Beginners by Mike Cheich in PDF and/or ePUB format, as well as other popular books in Ciencia de la computación & Programación en C. We have over one million books available in our catalogue for you to explore.
Information
SECTION 1
Downloading and Installing the Arduino IDE:
KEY POINTS:
- Installation of Arduino software is relatively simple.
- The most up-to-date installation information is available at the Arduino “Getting Started” webpage.
One of the absolute best things about the Arduino platform is how easy it is to get started. The software that is installed on your computer is completely free and designed specifically for ease of use. The program is called an Integrated Development Environment, or IDE. The fancy name might intimidate you but it runs just like a text editing program.
As with any software install, you may have some peculiar things working on your computer that can hinder a smooth installation. I have loaded the Arduino several times on different operating systems and have had few problems. Once or twice I had to re-download the zip file that contains the Arduino IDE, because some how or other it got messed up during the download process. You may have to install drivers yourself for your Arduino board – this turns out to be fairly easy and is clearly explained on the Arduino.cc website.
To provide you with the most accurate and up to date information about downloading and installing the Arduino IDE, I defer to the Arduino “Getting Started” page.
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide
They have done such a clear and concise job of describing the process, I see no reason to repeat it here.

SECTION 2
Arduino Board Overview
KEY POINTS:
- The core technology of most Arduino boards is the Atmel ATmega 328 microcontroller.
- Your Arduino board is resilient to shock, but don’t touch it after walking across a shag carpet while petting your cat Fifi.
- Most Arduino boards include an on board LED at digital pin 13.
