Overview of this book

Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino has been used in thousands of different projects and applications by a wide range of programmers and artists, and their contributions have added up to an incredible amount of accessible knowledge that can be of great help to novices and experts alike. Want to build exciting LED projects with Arduino? This book will be your companion to bring out the creative genius in you. To begin with, you will get introduced to the maker movement and the open source hardware development Arduino boards. You will then move on to develop a mood lamp and a remote-controlled TV backlight. As you progress through the book, you will develop an LED cube and will learn to use sound visualization to develop a sound-controlled LED Christmas tree. You will then move on to build a persistence of vision wand. At the end of each chapter, you’ll see some common problems, their solutions, and some workarounds.

Before you start

After getting some understanding of Arduino UNO and IDE, there are a couple of things that you need to know before you dive into the world of Arduino.

Power supply

As mentioned in the Arduino UNO section, there are two ways you can power up your Arduino UNO. One is by using a USB cable connected to your computer and the second one is by a 12 V external power supply. Please make sure that you don't use a power supply greater than 20 volts as you will overpower and thereby destroy your Arduino Board. The recommended voltage for most Arduino models is between 6 and 12 volts.

Verifying connection

This is the last step before you write your "Hello World" program with your Arduino:

  1. Make sure you have selected Arduino UNO under the Tools | Board section. If you have some other Arduino board, make sure you select that board:

  2. Select the COM port from Tools | Port, to which your Arduino UNO board is connected. In the following image it is COM13, but it will vary from computer to computer:
