"Using clear, easy-to-follow examples, Programming Arduino: Getting Started with Sketches reveals the software side of Arduino and explains how to write well-crafted sketches using the modified C language of Arduino. No prior programming experience is required! The downloadable sample programs featured in the book can be used as-is or modified to suit your purposes. - Understand Arduino hardware fundamentals - Install the software, power it up, and upload your first sketch - Learn C language basics - Write functions in Arduino sketches - Structure data using arrays and strings - Use Arduino's digital and analog inputs and outputs in your programs - Work with the Standard Arduino Library - Write sketches that can store data - Program LCD displays - Use an Ethernet shield to enable Arduino to function as a web server - Write your own Arduino libraries "-- Provided by publisher.

Shows, step-by-step, how to quickly program all Arduino models--including the Arduino Uno R3. This guide features easy-to-follow explanations, fun examples, and downloadable sample programs. Discover how to write basic sketches, use Arduino's modified C language, store data, and interface with the Web. You will also get hands-on coverage of C++, library writing, and programming Arduino for the Internet of Things. --From publisher description.
