Hacker’s Field Guide: Arduino Foundations: Basic electronics and software for success with Arduino projects

How can I tell the difference between a temperature sensor and a transistor?

When do I use a for loop versus an if statement?

You’re starting (or want to start) working with Arduinos but are overwhelmed with everything related to both the electronics and programming. Harley Pebley is a life-long maker who has been there. He knows first hand the overwhelming feelings of not knowing where to start and wants to guide you step by step through your first steps.

This introductory guide teaches you:

• The basic electronics components that come with most Arduino starter kits.
• What a program is, how it’s structured and the building blocks to make one.
• How to setup your computer to start working with Arduinos.
• And the various models of Arduino that are available to choose from.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of the Arduino and feel more prepared to jump into your first projects.
