\"Getting<\/a><\/p>\n

Getting Started with Arduino<\/a>\"\", by Massimo Banzi, is the latest physical computing<\/a> book from O’Reilly and the first dedicated to the wildly popular Arduino<\/a> microcontoller platform and integrated development environment.<\/p>\n

Massimo’s short text is an excellent introduction to the hardware and software sides of the Arduino and contains a walk-through for uploading a sketch to the board, basic programming techniques, interfacing with common sensors, troubleshooting techniques, and some interesting notes about tinkering<\/a>, physical computing and interaction design<\/a>.\u00a0 The book is based on a collection of notes that were formerly available<\/a> within the Arduino wiki<\/a>.\u00a0 The notes were removed when the book was released, but fortunately I saved a copy and you can download them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The book is available from amazon.com<\/a> or comes as a companion to the Arduino starter kit<\/a> available from the Maker Shed<\/a>.
