With inexpensive hardware and open-source software components that you can download free, getting started with Arduino is a snap. To tinker with the introductory examples in this book, all you need is a USB Arduino, USB A-B cable, and an LED.
Join the tens of thousands of hobbyists who have discovered this incredible (and educational) platform. Written by the co-founder of the Arduino project, Massimo Banzi, with illustrations by Elisa Canducci, Getting Started with Arduino gets you in on the fun! This 128-page book is a greatly expanded follow-up to the author's original short PDF that's available on the Arduino website.
Gareth Branwyn from makezine.com expressed his excitement about the new book when it arrived at Maker Faire Austin in a recent blogpost: "The book, authored by Arduino co-founder Massimo Banzi, offers a brief, fun, and lucid overview of Arduino that I bet is going to appeal to lots of people who've been wanting to get into physical computing but have been looking for a 'bit-sized' way in. This handy little guide should be just the ticket!"
