Make: Arduino Bots and Gadgets

Want to build your own robots, turn your ideas into prototypes, control devices with a computer, or make your own cell phone applications? It’s a snap with this book and the Arduino open source electronic prototyping platform. Embedded systems are everywhere -- inside cars, children’s toys, robots, and mobile phones. With Arduino, building your own embedded gadgets is easy, even for beginners.

"Must-Have Idea Book for Physical Computing, Mechatronics, Arts & Crafts Fabrication" Ira Laefsky (Philadelphia, PA) 

This book gets you started with six fun projects you can build for under $100 each: a stalker guard, robot insect, interactive painting, wireless smart home controller, boxing timer, and a cell phonecontrolled soccer robot. You’ll get impressive results quickly and gain the know-how and experience you need to invent your own gadgets.
