Introduction

Fun. We (your authors) wanted a word to describe our ultimate goal for this book, as well as a word

we hope you (our reader) will use to describe it, and that’s the one we chose. There are others goals,

of course, but in the end, when you’ve inished the book, we’re hoping you’ll have enjoyed the

activities described in these pages.

Many books use the Introduction to explain exactly what the book is about, what the reader will

learn, what the reader needs (a skill or maybe an item or piece of software), and what the reader

will be left with when that last page is completed. And this Introduction will do those things, but …

hopefully it’ll make you excited to get started.

So, welcome to Arduino Adventures. We won’t make you spend too much time on this

Introduction—just give us a few pages and let us tell you how this book works. You’ll ind a bunch of

useful information that will help make the rest of the book more enjoyable.

What Is Arduino Adventures?

That’s an easy question to answer! First, the book is about the Arduino. Hmm … okay, well, that sort

of assumes you know what the Arduino is, right? Don’t worry, we’ll get to that. For now, just take a

look at Figure I-1 . You’re going to use that little electronic device to make some fun and interesting

gizmos. Think of it as a teeny-tiny computer (of sorts) that can do some amazing things when you

add power and a few other tiny components to it. It’s called a microcontroller, and by the time you

inish this book, you’ll know how to do quite a few things with it.
