Arduino: 101 Beginners Guide: How to get started with Your Arduino (Tips, Tricks, Projects and More!) Paperback – July 29, 2015

The English is about what one would expect from an auto-translator. The content is at about the depth of an infomercial. He is very condescending in tone. I tolerated all of this and then when I finally got to the examples of sketches, it had titles underlined as if I could click on a book! He could have at least printed the code. This is a poorly edited bunch of stuff off of a web page dumped into a book of no value.

Recently started learning coding. Trying to pick up C in Arduino but it is difficult to find a comprehensible and easy to follow guide for beginners. Came across this on Amazon and feel lucky that I downloaded it. The instructions are clear and concise and makes a seemingly difficult topic look more easily comprehensible. It is now time to open up my laptop and follow this book more closely! Great read for anyone serious about coding.

I will keep this brief as there are lots of 1 star reviews for this "pamphlet".I feel like this was intended to be part of an ardunio kit or a supplemental manual for a more meaningful user manual.it is just an FYI reference. i.e what is an LED, what is a push-button...If I can't return this, it is going in the garbage, I think that sums up how valuable this waste of paper is.

I had never heard of Arduino, but it was on the list of recommended reads of my computing 101 class at Saylors.What is Arduino? Arduino is an open-source computer hardware and software company, project and user community that designs and manufactures microcontroller-based kits for building digital devices and interactive objects.This book tells you what it is, what its used for. Gives the information regarding two different models and the different features and specs. It put me in mind of a Raspberry Pi, but with some obvious differences once I read this book.

I usually don't give reviews but this book left me hanging - especially since I actually purchased a paperback version. Granted, it was only about $6 but they say you get what you pay for. This time I felt l got less than I paid for.Why?First, it's not a book IMHO. It's more like a pamphlet. It's short - it took me about an hour to go thru. There are simple grammer errors. I am an electronics engineer. While I have little programming experience - I did a bit in college. The explanation of the programing language was very incomplete for a 'Beginner's book. Additionally, there should be at least a few pictures and diagrams for clarification. There were none. Several of the explanations were very incomplete. Like I said, I am an electronics engineer. The explanation of electronics 'parts' were very incomplete and left me wondering what the author was talking about. I feel like I could have gotten better information just 'surfing' the net. There is my two cents worth.

I find the book an easy read especially for the beginners of Arduino like me. I have a bit of experience in programming but have no idea of Arduino. The book suggested two Arduino models which are ideal for beginners: Arduino Uno and Arduino Mega. To have a grasp of Arduino, one must learn first the hardware and the software aspects. The book listed some troubleshooting and fixing tips on software and hardware level. It also listed some problems such as cannot load programs on Arduino and the possible solution for it.The book also features a bonus lesson of Windows 10 which is far better than its predecessor, Windows 8. The book gives an introduction of this specific operating system. It's good to have this book as my guide also in familiarizing Windows 10.

Even though the kindle price was only $2.99 this book wasn't worth the price:1) It contains very little useful information2) What little information it contained was difficult to understand because of the garbled grammatical syntax. I'm an engineer whose writing ability is nothing to brag about but this book was bad even by my standards. Maybe English isn't the authors primary language?

After researching several micro-controllers for some time now, I decided to use the ARDUINO mainly because it is open source. This gives me the advantage of being able to tweak the software as I see fit. In comparison, it is one of the best available in the open-source market but needs to be mastered first. That's where this book comes in. It will teach you everything you need to know to effectively use this controller. It is by far the best beginner's guide for the ARDUINO. I highly recommend it.
