If you ever have wondered how to Implement an Arduino based Temperature
controller with PID algorithm and how to program such a gadget using
an Arduino mega 2560 devlopment board, you need to have this text.
This text can show you how to design and implement such a system.
All related control software is included when a reader buys the
text and asks author to email them. Author is very supportive.

This is my favourite 3.3V Arduino clone. It's what got me interested Arduino in the first place. I like that I can program it without plugging it in, and the Bluetooth is super-easy to program for.

Just get the Arduino book that come with the kit. This is a waste of space.

Created a BASIC-based Arduino  and created a SAY command. I, then, just type SAY "I am special" and it says whatever I have it say.

I can turn it off, pick all the different speech voices with VOICE 1, etc.

I turn the board on with SOUNDON and off with SOUNDOFF

Works incredibly well. Love it.

It's an Arduino Uno. Everyone should have one of these for when they need to control something. There's thousands of projects online that involve an Arduino. I've personally used an Arduino for an Art project in school where I controlled the color of lights based on a slider switch. Switching lights in my room based on a button's state. A light for my closet that automatically turns on when the door is opened. A programmer for other microcontrollers (even other Arduinos). A game boy cartridge reader. Part of a home security system. A system that automatically watered my garden. I even keep one in my car in case I ever need it. Just buy one. You'll need it someday and be glad you had it.

As a new Arduino user, I really liked this book as it gave me some ideas and instructions for projects using the Arduino.  Simple step by step progression from the simple to more advanced projects guide you through the process.

Like most "Dummies" books, it is full of tips, gotchas, and of course the usual subject relevant cartoons.

I found this book very useful in getting up to speed.

Worked immediately from easy to follow Arduino script, no discernible noise or frequency dependency

The adafruit library worked well with this sensor when using with the arduino

This was on sale and for around $6 you can't go wrong. But was this fun!

Received it, plugged it into my arduino and installed the NewPing arduino library.
Within no time I was up and running, and even connected an LED that would delay for each cm it registered.. 100cm = 1 sec delay.. great fun. Highly recommended!!!

Have fun. To hook up used the library and schematic at NewPing library source.

Dropping it a star because it was not apparent how to get it working, the base instructions were smeared on the board.
#1 as of a few days in I will get more of these modules.
#2 correct that there is a lack of instructions.
#3 because of #2 you do need to know a little about programming to make this work.
#4 even the examples that are out there are not very good techniques and some have made it much more complicated by not using the existing library functions. Again #2.

The best thing I found was:
>> use the Arduino 1.6.+ interface
>> following the Adafruit instructions for the Huzzah setup to add the code
>> Set board to NodeMCU 1.0
>> Create Sketch
>> Upload Sketch to device

Kind of complicated to figure out, and making it work with an Arduino is a bit hard, But I'm glad there are 5 to work with.

This book is great for beginners and pros getting to understand the language of Arduino. The illustrations are easy to follow. this guy is from the UK so one project like the traffic lights are a litlle different than the ones in the US but he mentions that and after you learn this lesson you will know enough to change them to your countrys lighting sequence. I read somewhwere that he is going to do or has done a new edition. I may buy it as well since I liked this one so much.

With the LCD Shield and the arduino you can begin with something that shows that your system is working right from the beginning!

Spent over 3 hours trying to get this display to work( was my first every "project" on arduino or any board of this sort), I tried everything that other users here on amazon had said to do with no luck, I still just had a blank white screen, I did have a few leads that looked good after editing a sketch to make it smaller but was mostly for the touch calibration... after all of that still nothing... then I found this thread here http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=292777.0  , three out of the four sketchs worked for me and i was able to use the screen, but it gives you the library to run it in order to create new things with it, I am in the process of doing just that, Also I need to find the link again but there is a way to make the sd card work with the touch screen also active on uno and mega

This project is so cool, but it's not for the inexperience. It does not come with any instructions and the information on the website leaves much to be desired. If you need step by step instructions you'll have a problem, but if you can figure things out on your own it's well wroth it. On the programing side if you use the sample code you need to change the  line prog_uchar PROGMEM PatternTable[ ] = {  to  const unsigned char PROGMEM PatternTable[ ] = { if you use Arduino 1.6.5. Other then those two things it's a great project and it worked right off the bat (didn't have to troubleshoot anything).

I am an Arduino newbie, this kit has most what I needed to start playing with simply Arduino projects. It's a lot of fun.

Works great! I use it with Arduino IDE. Google "ESP8266 core for Arduino" and download the esp8266 code and follow instructions for adding as a board in the Arduino IDE. Remember you need to hold "FLASH", press "RESET" then release "FLASH" to enter programming mode.
