Appendix
Mark Geddes is a lifelong tinkerer and gadget enthusiast from Dumfries, Scotland. Frustrated with the lack of practical, visual guides to help him teach his ten-year-old how to build with Arduino, he set about recording his own experiments, and Arduino Project Handbook is the result. Geddes has a bachelor's degree from Edinburgh College of Art.
Waiting within this book are 25 projects, ranging in subject from
LEDs, sound, and motors, to LCDs, security, and smart
machines. All beginning with an Arduino board, these
simple projects help your beginning inventors build their own
gadgets. Each project has step-by-step instructions, tables
for quick connection references, a circuit diagram, necessary code,
tips, and notes on what is happening at each step. Cost and time
estimates are also included, and the full-color photos and circuit
diagrams will help visual learners with the projects. Besides the
projects in the book, there is a section dedicated to
troubleshooting tips for common errors, component questions, and
reference resources for the Arduino board itself. You can download
Arduino sketches (sections of code) from a web address
provided. This book allows users to build experience toward
working on more complicated systems with both Arduino and other
embedded systems. I would recommend this book to enhance your
growing STEM collection in your library. Deb Grove, Retired

Praise for the first volume of Arduino Project Handbook:
"Easily the best beginner’s guide out there. Pair with an
inexpensive clone-based starter kit, and it’s never been cheaper to
join the maker revolution."
—Make Use Of
"Beautifully designed."
