Description

Mastering Arduino is an all-in-one guide to getting the most out of your Arduino. This practical, no-nonsense guide teaches you all of the electronics and programming skills that you need to create advanced Arduino projects. This book is packed full of real-world projects for you to practice on, bringing all of the knowledge in the book together and giving you the skills to build your own robot from the examples in this book. The final two chapters discuss wireless technologies and how they can be used in your projects. The book begins with the basics of electronics, making sure that you understand components, circuits, and prototyping before moving on. It then performs the same function for code, getting you into the Arduino IDE and showing you how to connect the Arduino to a computer and run simple projects on your Arduino. Once the basics are out of the way, the next 10 chapters of the book focus on small projects centered around particular components, such as LCD displays, stepper motors, or voice synthesizers. Each of these chapters will get you familiar with the technology involved, how to build with it, how to program it, and how it can be used in your own projects.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

The book is great. It covers all the basics and advanced stuffs when it comes to "Programming using the Arduino platform". Additionally it covers aspects related to core basic electronics which should be necessary according to me. The chapters are well written with detailed explanation and a project based approach. This book should is good for students and developers who wanna get their hands dirty with Arduino.Overall, a great book and very well written. :)

There is a vast difference between the sharing of information and telling people that you know something. Jon Hoffman's book is rare in that it addresses a need to provide a well rounded education to those that have no previous knowledge of Arduino in the areas of programming or in basic electronics. Arduino is a hobby and while aspects of it may be seen in the real world, kits are designed for those that like to tinker and this naturally draws a population of people that are curious and have no formal education in these things. There will be people that have knowledge of programming and no knowledge of circuitry and those that have an electronics background but never coded before, and those that are just walking in fresh. Not every chapter will be for everyone. And the book is not filled with coded examples of doing something outside the box. There are books like the Arduino Cookbook that will give you snippets of interesting projects but do not help you understand why you are required to have a 1k resistor or why you are creating an array. And that is the point of this book, the Why. "Mastering" being the concept of teaching you how to eventually understand and "master" the basics so that you will understand the projects in more advanced books and, ideally, create your own.The internet has plenty of resources. Unfortunately, the internet also has a large collection of pseudo intellectual bullies and I have seen way too many posts that consist of 1 question, 5 responses letting the initial requestor know that they are an idiot for even asking, followed by 4 people who have the same question and... no answer. Many products do not come with instructions or sample code and most hobbyists are simply trying to get a simple example to help them in their way. This book will also help you navigate these waters as it introduces the concepts of datasheet, fritzing (diagrams), and provide you with enough know how that might help you phrase questions and steer these boards without too much hazing.I purchased the book from the Packt website. For the full price of the book you can also get a digital copy which is pretty handy.

In this book Mastering Arduino, I have seen in this title as a very good guide to all the audience that wants to follow and learn from a material that has the requirements from the beginning to develop projects and understand the basics of Arduino.In all the chapters we can see the sequence of the material. I have seen the book and it helps to me to understand how I can learn programming with structures and control structures, also explains the basics of electronics, how we can mix all the stuff in a prototype, I like the chapter about structures of programming, because it can help us how to create a code with programming skills. In the last chapters we can see the application of the previous chapters, I appreciate the use of Bluetooth, this is the first book I see it has the content of Bluetooth and its applications with Arduino. It explains how integrate all in the different projects, Electronics, Programming, sensors, Communications.We can summarice the content in the following:Chapter 1: Introduction to Arduino boards, technical information, good to see this chapter, some times we need to create new things with it.Chapter 2: Basic electronics concepts and where to apply it, this is useful to understand the basics, great.Chapter 3: Circuit diagrams, useful to understand the circuits, complement with the last chapter.Chapter 4: Prototyping, great to have, how we can integrate the tools to create a prototypeChapters 5,6, and 7: Give us the ability to create and understand the coding in Arduno, how it works, how we can structure a sketch.Chapters 8-19: Give us the tool to develop projects, I could apply the first projects and give me some ideas how can integrate all in applications.Chapter 20-21: These two chapters like a lot because none of the books I have learned before explained the usage of Bluetooth.Rubén Oliva Ramos.

I got this book expecting to introduce myself to Arduino for a specific project I have to complete. By one side, the book helped me a lot, since half of it is devoted to specific projects, well detailed, that allowed me to understand the problem I was facing and how to solve it. The not interesting, from my perspective, are the 6 first chapters!!!! Somebody who wants to go into Arduino has to have some idea about electricity or programming. A book named "Mastering Arduino" cannot devote itself to explain how electricity works!!! If you are interested on the book just take a look into the contents to see if this is exactly what you need.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this book because of the page count being a big factor for me because I thought the more pages the more info there would be. I was wrong this is very basic stuff and it is good for beginners but just the very beginning if you know what I mean. The words are typed so big and the pictures are printed so big that is only left enough room for like a few sentences and this was an appt of the pages so you don’t get as much as I thought I would out of this book. Save up your money and buy a good name book like the dummies books with like 600plus pages in it. You’ll be saving your money in the end.
