Introduction to Arduino - A piece of cake!

Alan G. Smith
This is a small site to go along with the book Introduction to Microcontrollers.
If you are interested in buying this book for a class, please e-mail me at alan [at] introtoarduino [dot] com with the number of copies you need for a lower price. (minimum order 10 copies)
This book is different than many Arduino books in that it expects no previous knowledge in electronics or programming. Instead of going into depth teaching those topics, it teaches only enough so that you can make things.

In this book, you will:

Use lights to quickly learn basic programming concepts
Make noise and music on a speaker
Make a digital thermometer
Add graphics to your thermometer to show a graph of recorded temperature
Play with sensors to detect light, magnets, and knocking
Make a rubber band gun that uses a joystick for panning, tilting, and firing
Be encouraged to go create your own projects!

There are exercises after each chapter to help you make sure you understand the concepts.
