Arduino Project Handbook - 25 Practical Projects To Get You Started Mark Geddes No Starch Press ISBN 978-1-59327-690-4 July 2016 272 Pages

Tradition dictates that I withhold my rating of a book until the end. However, throwing caution to the wind and risking a long distance slap in the head from Ronnie, I’m going to give the rating right up front for this book: 5 out of 5 stars (slap withheld, as it is a really good book - Ronnie).

Why risk that slap from Ronnie? Well, I’m that impressed with this book. Mark Geddes and No Starch Press have done a tremendous job with this 25 project tutorial on using the Arduino in (mostly) real-world applications. Each project is colour coded, broken down with required parts, colour photos, and simple step-by-step instructions. While originally written to teach his child the joys of electronics and experimentation, it is completely relevant for anyone looking to learn how to use the Arduino in the real world. With projects ranging from a fortune-telling “Magic 8 Ball Simulator,” and a push-button controlled LED, to a model rocket launcher with countdown timer, and desktop servo controlled sentry gun with ultrasonic detection, anyone with a desire to learn can benefit from this book.

Not only do you get a complete parts list for each project on the 2nd page of the project, but you also get a list of the required libraries. Each project includes a “how it works” section, a detailed breakdown of the build process with photos, and a sketch that will pull it all together.

My favorite project so far is the “Ghost Detector”, which is an easy-to-build electromagnetic field detector. I’m also looking forward to the “Build your own Arduino” project.

Mark has also provided in the Appendix, a list of all the components used in the book, the model number of the sensor or item (including the RC V959 Missile Launcher), which project(s) they are associated with, and then a list of retailers that can provide the components.

If you are interested in the Arduino at all, this is a must-have book.
