About this book

The book is a detailed guide that delves into the combination of artificial intelligence and electronics.

The book focuses on ChatGPT’s practical applications in real-world scenarios.

This book explores using Arduino with ChatGPT, a language model created by OpenAI.

These two technologies, when used together, enable the creation of clever projects that respond to human language inputs.

In this book, I used version 3.5 of ChatGPT (which is the FREE VERSION). I encourage those who prefer the free version to make use of it.

The primary audience for this book comprises absolute beginners who are keen on mastering ChatGPT and applying it to Arduino.

I maintained a visual distinction throughout the book by presenting my prompts in dark Gray textand ChatGPT’s responses in subtle Green text.

I maintained this visual distinction to facilitate a clear reading experience.

I asked ChatGPT to find Arduino code snippets and gather information to improve the book’s content.

The responses from ChatGPT proved to be highly informative and beneficial.

I included ChatGPT’s Arduino codes and explanations exactly as they provided them to ensure clarity for readers.

I carefully examined all the Arduino codes created by ChatGPT in the Arduino IDE, and I’m glad to inform you I compiled successfully all the code.

Key Features:

Introduction to ChatGPT and Arduino:

The book begins with a clear introduction to both ChatGPT and Arduino.

This explains how ChatGPT works and how to add natural language capabilities to your projects by integrating it with Arduino.
