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.

What this book covers

Chapter 1, Getting Started with Arduino and LEDs, introduces you to different Arduino boards followed by installation instructions for the Arduino IDE. You will write a "Hello World" program using the Arduino IDE and will learn about serial communication.

Chapter 2, Project 1 – LED Night Lamp, presents you with some cool stuff of controlling LEDs and will show you how to control different LEDs with an artistic approach.

Chapter 3, Project 2 – Remote Controlled TV Backlight, teaches you the basics of IR LEDs and the basics of IR communication. Once you have learnt about programming IR sensor, you will use an IR sensor to control the TV backlight using a remote.

Chapter 4, Project 3 – LED Cube, introduces you to soldering in detail. You will also understand how to create a 4*4*4 LED Cube using the Arduino UNO board.

Chapter 5, Sound Visualization and LED Christmas Tree, shows you how to visualize sound using Arduino and then we will develop an LED Christmas tree.

Chapter 6, Persistence of Vision, helps us create an even more intensive experience by moving LEDs using motors. You will create a Persistence of Vision wand using an LED array and a motor.

Chapter 7, Troubleshooting and Advanced Resources, starts with common troubleshooting techniques. The second and last part of the chapter discusses resources that will be useful if you want to do advanced stuff with Arduino.
