DESCRIPTION:
He now lives in Munich, Germany, where he works for an embedded hardware development firm that has, to date, exactly one employee (and CEO). This book came out of his experiences teaching AVR programming workshops at HacDC.. in Economics, a former government statistician, and a lifelong electronics hacker. He was among the founding members of HacDC, Washington DC's hackerspace, and served as president and vice president for three years. About the AuthorElliot is a Ph.D
A step further than Arduino Christopher T. Dahle About 5 years ago I took my then 6 year old son to a robotics workshop. At the time I had not much more than a basic understanding of electric circuits. I'd built small electric motors and crystal radios from kits as a kid, but in reality, I couldn't have told you the difference between a shift register, a microcontroller, and a 555 timer. Still, I became fascinated with the possibilities of using the brains of the small robots for other interactive projects. A friend mentioned Arduino and I bought a Du. "Well Worth Five Stars" according to Matt Long. I was pretty surprised to find that some people struggled with this book and rated it, what seems, unreasonably low to me. As I've been thinking this through, I've come to some conclusions as to why there might be such a huge gap between those experiences and my own. In a nutshell, I think it has to do with expectations going in. I have personally been able to be successful implementing the projects without too much trouble, but I went into it already being a seasoned software engineer and for any gaps . Excellent for Beginners!! Nicholas H. Baker Great beginner book for those looking to learn how to program the AVR in C! Elliot has hidden some really great puns in the and keeps it as simple as possible. As for me I dream of the day when I can code my concept in C to AVR in an afternoon and get a working prototype ready for production. This book is a great introduction. But what must be said is most of what you will learn will be on your own pouring over the datasheet and thinking about it all. You will fail many many times. Take a break. Walk aw
In this book you'll set aside the layers of abstraction provided by the Arduino environment and learn how to program AVR microcontrollers directly. Program a range of AVR chipsExtend and re-use other people’s code and circuitsInterface with USB, I2C, and SPI peripheral devicesLearn to access the full range of power and speed of the microcontrollerBuild projects including Cylon Eyes, a Square-Wave Organ, an AM Radio, a Passive Light-Sensor Alarm, Temperature Logger, and moreUnderstand what's happening behind the scenes even when using the Arduino IDE. In doing so, you'll get closer to the chip and you'll be able to squeeze more power and features out of it.Each chapter of this book is centered around projects that incorporate that particular microcontroller topic. Atmel's AVR microcontrollers are the chips that power Arduino, and are the go-to chip f
