Learn Electronics With Arduino 1st Donald Wilcher by Donald Wilcher 9781430242673, 1430242671 instant download after payment.

Don Wilcher is a gifted experimenter and circuit designer who has applied his creativity and engineering abilities
to producing a series of electronics books and articles. In this latest book, Don presents an array of Arduino
projects, each in a standalone chapter that zeroes in on a specific aspect of electronics. He includes various
experiments, describes how to use electronic test instruments, and introduces the reader to the world of Arduino micro-controller software development.
Projects in this book include an LED sequencer, a DC motor controller, a music box, a sound effects
generator, an interactive LCD display, and more. Like Don’s other books, this new volume is packed with details
and diagrams. For example, when Don describes how to control a relay using an Arduino, he includes a helpful
explanation of why a diode is connected across the relay coil to bypass the voltage spike generated when current suddenly stops flowing through the coil. He also provides detailed explanations for transistor driver circuits, LEDs, sensors, circuit testing, and other topics, using Multisim circuit simulation when appropriate. Don is no novice, for he has worked as an electrical engineer and as a columnist and feature writer for Nuts and Volts magazine. He has considerable experience with LEGO Mindstorms as well as the Basic Stamp, the PICAXE, and the Arduino micro-controller. In between tinkering with the projects in this book, you can learn much more about Don, his many interests and activities, and his advocacy of engineering education at www.family-science.net.
