ARDUINO FOR DUMMIES
NEWNES INTERFACING COMPANION
Tony Fischer-Cripps
John Nussey
Arduino is no ordinary circuit board. Whether you’re an artist,
a designer, a programmer, or a hobbyist, Arduino lets you
learn about and play with electronics. You’ll discover how to
build a variety of circuits that can sense or control real-world
objects, prototype your own product, and even create interactive artwork. This handy guide is exactly what you need to
build your own Arduino project – what you make is up to you!
n Learn by doing – start building circuits and programming
your Arduino with a few easy examples – right away!
n Easy does it – work through Arduino sketches line by
line, and learn how they work and how to write your own.
n Solder on! – don’t know a soldering iron from a curling
iron? No problem! You’ll learn the basics and be prototyping in no time.
n Kitted out – discover new and interesting hardware to
turn your Arduino into anything from a mobile phone to a
Geiger counter.
n Become an Arduino savant – find out about functions,
arrays, libraries, shields and other tools that let you take
your Arduino project to the next level

THE BASIC
SOLDERING
GUIDE
LEARN TO SOLDER
SUCCESSFULLY!
ALAN WINSTANLEY
The No.1 resource for
learning all the basic
aspects of electronics
soldering by hand.
With more than 80 high quality colour photographs,
this book explains the correct choice of soldering
irons, solder, fluxes and tools. The techniques of
how to solder and desolder electronic components
are then explained in a clear, friendly and nontechnical fashion so you’ll be soldering successfully
in next to no time! The book also includes sections
on reflow soldering and desoldering techniques,
potential hazards, useful resources and a very
useful troubleshooting guide.
Also ideal for those approaching electronics
from other industries, the Basic Soldering Guide
Handbook is the best resource of its type, and
thanks to its excellent colour photography and
crystal clear text, the art of soldering can now be
learned by everyone!
