      Arduino Step by Step - M.Eng. Johannes Wild

      Foreword

      Thank you very much for choosing this book!

      If you are looking for a practical guide for the awesome and multifunctional Arduino mini PC, then you have come to the right place and are well advised with this book: Arduino | Step by Step! I am an engineer (M.Eng.) and would like to introduce you to the world of Arduino in a very simple way. You will learn both the theoretical basics for handling an Arduino, and the practical application through awesome and exciting example DIY projects. This book offers you an easy-to-understand, intuitively structured and practical introduction to the world of the mini-PC! We will work exclusively with the Arduino Uno in this book, as it is ideally suited for beginners.

      From the basics of electrical engineering, setting up components for the Arduino board and building circuits, getting to know the software, up to programming and creating some projects (such as creating an SOS signal, creating temperature or light dependent Arduino systems, or password protected and remote controlled Arduino systems). All of this is included in this book, giving you all the knowledge you need to get started.

      This basic book is aimed specifically at all those who have no or only very primitive prior knowledge of Arduino. No matter what age you are, what profession you have, whether you are a pupil, student, or pensioner. This book is for everyone who wants to get familiar with the fascinating topics: Electronics, Arduino and programming.

      The goal of this book is to teach you what an Arduino is, how it works, and how to use it for great projects. It is a book that provides an understanding of electrical engineering basics as well as the basics of programming and building circuits for an Arduino.

      So in this Arduino basic course you will learn everything you need to know as a beginner about the world of the mini PC, its programming and circuit design! Best to take a look at the book and get your copy!

      1 Introduction: scope of the book

      What to expect and what you will learn in this book

      In this Arduino Beginner's Guide, you will find an introduction to the use of the mini PC Arduino in theory and practice. I, as an engineer, will share with you my knowledge from study and practice step by step in this book. This will help you to achieve an optimal learning success with theoretical basics on the one hand, but on the other hand especially with practical examples. In the first chapters you can expect basic background knowledge of electrical engineering and electronics, then we will come to theoretical topics regarding Arduino and will finally practice our learnings in the form of exciting projects.

      In this course, aimed specifically at beginners, you will learn all the basics you need to know when working with an Arduino. We will work exclusively with the Arduino Uno in this book, as it is ideally suited for beginners.

      In brief, this course will teach you the following in detail:

      - The basic terms and components of electrical engineering as background knowledge

      - The structure of an Arduino Uno board and how to use it

      - What is the Arduino IDE, what is it used for and how is it structured?

      - Programming basics: block-based programming

      - Programming basics: text-based programming

      - How to create a system with an Arduino and how to write the required program code

      - Hands-on learning based on exciting DIY projects: SOS signal with LED, temperature-based LED control, light-dependent control of a motor, gas detection alarm, password-protected system, remote-controlled system.

      - and much more!

      Be excited! Let's go!

      2 First steps with Arduino

      Arduino is an electronic platform consisting of hardware and software that is very user-friendly and was created as part of an open-source project. The term open source is generally characterized by the fact that the software is freely available, active participation of users is desired and there are no restrictions on use. Simply put, an Arduino is nothing more than a small and very simple PC or microcontroller that is capable of taking input signals, processing them internally, and then converting them into corresponding output signals. An input signal could be e.g., sunlight falling on a sensor. The corresponding output signal could, for example, control a motor. This mini-PC can be purchased in the very puristic appearance of a circuit board, equipped with electronic components, either individually or as a set.

      There are different Arduino boards, modules, and beginner sets.

      The following Arduino boards are recommended to get started:

      A good overview of all products and a way to order them can be found on the official website: https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/products . You can either order the Arduino products we need in this course via this official site, or buy them via Amazon or eBay. By the way, an Arduino Uno board is available from about $20, a complete starter set from about $70.

      In this book, we will mainly deal with the Arduino Uno board and use it for the projects. We will also need other components such as LEDs, resistors, sensors (e.g., infrared sensor), actuators (e.g., motor) for the projects. Which components in particular are needed, you will find in the further course and in each project clearly listed. For this, it
