About The Book:
Generally, Arduino books are good. They usually show what one can do with a particular function then go on with clear, easy to understand explanations and code. This, together with the great programming system and simple architecture has made Arduino famous. Writing to impress and baffling with unexplained detail is not usually an aspect of this hobby.
Not so this book. If you want to be impressed with the vastly superior knowledge of the two authors, you’ve got the right book. If being baffled with technicality and bitsy code fragments, this is for you.
To be sure, the book warns you that you need a basic knowledge of Arduino and coding but there are some (read many!) authors of Arduino books who are able to put across complex ideas very simply and show you how to make them work. These guys aren’t two of them.
If you want an idea of what you can do with an Arduino and you prefer getting you detail circuits and code off the net, then this book is probably ideal for you. Otherwise, there are many other VERY good books out there on the subject.
