The LED has been available for many years now, initially as a red colored indicator. Later, yellow/amber, green and finally blue colored LEDs became available, which triggered an explosion in applications. Applications included traffic lights, vehicle lights and wall-washes (mood lighting). Recently blue colored LEDs have been combined with yellow...
This book was written by Michael Margolis with Nick Weldin to help you explore the
amazing things you can do with Arduino.
Arduino is a family of microcontrollers (tiny computers) and a software creation environment
that makes it easy for you to create programs (called sketches) that can interact
with the...
