If you're new to do-it-yourself computing, start by learning how to get your Mac or Windows computer communicating with Arduino and reviewing the basics of electronic components and circuits. Then tour the most basic Arduino model, the Uno, and learn to write your first program. Peggy also reviews the five other major Arduino offerings: the Leonardo, the Yun, the Esplora, the Robot, and, for wearable tech, the LilyPad. Along the way, Peggy shows how to put your knowledge to work in several sample projects, including a Morse code translator and a light-driven music instrument.

Topics include:
* Installing Arduino software on Mac and Windows
* Understanding circuit diagrams
* Using a solderless breadboard
* Writing your first project for the Arduino Uno
* Programming the Arduino Leonardo
* Connecting wirelessly to the Arduino Yun
* Displaying and moving with the Arduino Esplora
* Driving with the Arduino Robot
* Sensing and adjusting light
* Creating wearable tech with Arduino LilyPad
* Troubleshooting techniques
