I read tutorials online for projects and ideas but none made any sense to me. THIS BOOK however, did make sense and I am going to the store to buy some parts needed for one of the projects. I am absolutely amazed and fascinated with what can be done with an arduino and some electronics. Totally amazed!!! -Cora B

Could write my first program with success. -Erwin

The more of your environment you can sense, the more you can control. This resource should be on every Maker's shelf! -Steve Spence

This is a good book which every Arduino owner should have and work through. -Lawrence Maturo

This is an excellent book that has helped a number of my students work on neurocomputing controls using the Arduino microcontroller and an inexpensive single-sensor Neurosky EEG headset. -Amazon Customer

I've been an embedded programmer for most of my career, and this is the first time I could afford to play with an embedded system at home. So, with Ardunio you can buy a $50 embedded system, get the software free, and use this book to see how to take advantage of them to do some really neat things. -Lawrence Maturo

Very interesting reading and well organized. -Bern A

great book for beginners and for advanced to brush up on things and to look back on. -Charles Acosta

Great reference. -Mike Moore

I always wondered how to go about different modules available online interfacing them with Arduino and this book is one stop place for all that and more, Many Thanks to the author for writing such a easy to read and understand book. -Bhaskar Krishna

This was a great book on sensors. Good to learn arduino and sensors alike. Even if you don't have an arduino background you will still learn. -John Crupi

This one will help you get started building useful robotic devices with Arduino microcontrollers, sensors, and shields. Worth every dime! -James B Sloan


Great book to learn stuff about sensors. -Xinuo Zhao

I Love this book, this is what I needed. I'm working on a big project, this book is a big deal. Thanks! -Nechell Alleenna Jenkins

Awesome book! Exactly what I wanted. -Christian

Lavigne Great read with lots of cool projects. -mxcrazydude

I bought this as a gift for my husband, I thought he would like this since he is a mechanical engineer professor. -Melinda S Salus

Good circuits and good book! -Victor Jassiel

Awesome! So glad I got this. -carmen

The format of the book is excellent, combining a lucid narrative with clear photos of the work underway. -John Brady

It will definitely help aspiring amateurs make interesting projects, and will also help EE's to discover newer gadgets or perhaps get an idea on how to solve a certain problem by looking at the different posibilities out there. I will tell you that this book is inspiring, as soon as you start reading it, ideas for projects (that may not even include the Arduino or Raspberry Pi) start popping out of your head. -Ssound

In conclusion, this book has brought me to the world of Arduino and motivated me to learn more about open hardware projects! -Pokka

Absolutely tops! I am a total 'newbie' to electronics--this was exactly what I wanted to learn, and they taught it! -Helene Tomlinson

Well written, easy to understand for non technicals. -gw reader

Excellent book -ruben

Good book. I would recommend this to a friend. Taught me alot about sensors and gave me good ideas for projects such as a camera system to monitor my room. -Georgi Ellen Battocchio

Very clear....easy to follow...... -Gary Regan

Great book for using inexpensive sensor array's for Raspberry Pi computer!!! -RfhenWulf

Thrilled with how the book covers Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Clear and very useful. I read segments out of it a couple of times a week. Great reference. -Mike Moore

Very useful for beginners. -gzurab

Good book with useful examples. -Ed

Great teaching tool for introducing DIY with Arduino or Raspberry Pi. It gives you a good intro to building these systems to interact with the physical world around us. If you like hands-on you will use this book. -Charles Rogers

A Mighty Find [..] The beauty of this book is in its ability to catch and hold one's interest: there are dozens of projects requiring a wide range of ambition (notice I didn't use the word 'expertise'), each contributing to the store of knowledge you'll acquire in the use of the Pi, in computing and in electronics. This is properly a hands-on book. I'm a teacher researching curriculum for my students, and the title sums up my view. They will eat this up like Kibbles and Bits. Score! -STEM Teacher

Use this book for projects. Great book. -Dana Dickinson

Love this one. -honesavanh T.

Excellent support manual which goes beyond the basic manuals supplied for the Arduino and Raspberri pi kits. Idea stimulating reference book. -Will Well written... well worth the money -Edward C.

Great book. -Glen Howard

A very good and handy workbook what can be used with several microcomputers like Arduino -w rossie

Great Book! -James A Chapman

Bought for a student to use as a learning guide for exploring Arduino on his own at home -Bryan Glover

The book does assume that you have experience with Arduino programming. I found it to be a real pleasure to read, but I must admit that, had I come across this book last year, I probably would have understood 0.00% of it. -Oskar Pineño

Makes it a natural starting point for anyone experimenting with robotics, automation and control. -Rick Cook

Talking as a person who is not a robotics specialist I have to say I really liked this book. I thinks it is comprehensive and easy to follow. It is well structured, first the mechanical part and then the software part. And I think it is very interesting that they tell us about how to "recycle" materials to build it. -avid Fernández

The instructions are well structured and clearly written. Anyone should be able to follow them. Little tips here and there make book a refreshing read. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in Arduino, tinkering and brainstuff! -Panu Koskela

Perfect. -x
