Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “O’Reilly Publishing Covers Physical Computing in its Arduino Cookbook”.
I came across a very interesting interactive sculpture on the web. It was just something that excited me, because it was a sculpture that responded to people. It followed sound. It was aesthetic, but it was clever and i was curious to know how it was made and was surprised to find that it was based on something called arduino a small microcontroller, and it was very simple. I found there was a tremendous amount of information on the web of how to build a whole range of things, but no consistent presentation which made it difficult for me and other people to take various elements, various components and put them together in a way that that Was easily worked, so i started helping people on the forums to combine various elements of technology and then realized that i could make this information available by putting it into a book which contains about 200 different kinds of common problems.
Somebody would have and explains how to solve them. There are a number of very good books which describe specific projects, and if you want to make those projects, the books are really a great help. But if you want to make something, that’s unique to you, that’s different, then what this book is designed to do is to explain how each element works and how to use it and how to build it into something which can then be combined into the kind of Project that you want you .
