A Beginner's Guide to Circuits is the perfect first step for anyone ready to jump into the world of electronics and circuit design.
First, youll learn to read circuit diagrams and use a breadboard, which allows you to connect electrical components without using a hot soldering iron! Next, youll build nine simple projects using just a handful of readily available components, like resistors, transistors, capacitors, and other parts. As you build, youll learn what each component does, how it works, and how to combine components to achieve new and interesting effects.
By the end of the book, youll be able to build your own electronic creations. With easy-to-follow directions, anyone can become an inventor with the help of A Beginners Guide to Circuits!
Build These 9 Simple Circuits!
Steady-Hand Game: Test your nerves using a wire and a buzzer to create an Operation-style game!
Touch-Enabled Light: Turn on a light with your finger!
Cookie Jar Alarm: Catch cookie thieves red-handed with this contraption.
Night-Light: Automatically turn on a light when it gets dark.
Blinking LED: This classic circuit blinks an LED.
Party Lights: Throw a party with these charming string lights.
Railroad Crossing Light: Danger! Dont cross the tracks if this circuits pair of lights is flashing.
Digital Piano: Play a tune with this simple synthesizer and learn how speakers work.
LED Marquee: Put on a light show and impress your friends with this flashy finale.

Youve mastered the basics, conquered the soldering iron, and programmed a robot or two; now youve got a set of skills and tools to take your Arduino exploits further. But what do you do once youve exhausted your to-build list?
Arduino Playground will show you how to keep your hardware hands busy with a variety of intermediate builds, both practical and just-for-fun. Advance your engineering and electronics know-how as you work your way through these 10 complex projects:
A reaction-time game that leverages the Arduinos real-time capabilities
A tool for etching your own printed circuit boards
A regulated, variable-voltage power supply
A kinetic wristwatch winder decked out with LEDs
A garage parking assistant that blinks when your vehicle is perfectly parked
A practical and colorful pH meter
A ballistic chronograph that can measure the muzzle velocity of BB, Airsoft, and pellet guns
A battery saver that prevents accidental discharge
A square-wave generator
A thermometer that tells the temperature using a sequence of colored LEDs
Each project begins with a list of required tools and components, followed by the instructions, full sketch, and circuit board templates for the build, as well as directions for building a permanent enclosure. Youll even find the authors design notes, which are sure to provide inspiration for your own inventions.
Gather your parts, break out the soldering iron, and get ready to take your Arduino skills to the next level with Arduino Playground.
