Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Physical Computing and Robotics Book: Arduino Bots and Gadgets”.
About the book, it tells you how you can build uh, robots and gadgets. You design yourself and you can learn the basics. In a week, i’ve always loved uh, making all kind of stuff, but with the electronics or especially microcontrollers like arduino, you can affect the physical world. You can make it really concrete what what a prototype means.
So you can come outside of the computer world when we were learning to stop ourselves. We had the problem that many instructions they were made for a sweatshop that they tell you that soldiers is soldered. That put it here. Does it work no start over and we wanted to explain how you can understand it so that you can build stuff you design yourself, so that you don’t have to do it perfectly. But if you make a mistake, you know where it was and how you can fix it.
I’Ve been interested in electronics for a long time, but i think that uh only microcontrollers make it easy enough. So i’ve done a lot of electronics projects, but but they weren’t that interesting, because now that i have arduino and uh, i can connect it to mobile phones. I can connect it to computers. I dig up something from the trash and i can connect it to arduino. It’S a completely different world. I don’t have to spend uh weeks just to make led blink, but instead i can build a robot when i have an idea of a robot and i can take it apart and build something else. You .
