You'll find yourself following along as Cade and Elle explore Gemini Station—an orbiting museum dedicated to preserving and sharing technology throughout the centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrouble ensues. The station is evacuated, including Cade and Elle's class that was visiting the station on a field trip. Cade and Elle don’t make it aboard their shuttle and are trapped on the station along with a friendly artificial intelligence named Andrew who wants to help them get off the damaged station. Using some old hardware, a laptop, and some toolboxes full of electronics parts, you will follow along and build eight gizmos with Cade and Elle that will help them escape from Gemini Station. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hardware is Arduino. Each new challenge opens a new area of Arduino and basic electronics knowledge. You’ll be taken incrementally from a simple task such as turning on a light through to a complex combination of microcontroller, electronic components, and software programming. By the end of the book you’ll be well on your way towards being able to create and implement any sort of electronically controlled device you can imagine, using the stunningly popular Arduino microcontroller. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides eight challenges, each challenge increasing in complexity \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds around a fictional storyline that keeps the learning fun \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves you on a solid foundation of electronic skills and knowledge \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e         What you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstall and configure Arduino’s programming environment \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuild understanding of LEDs, Resisters, and other basic components \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBuild and test electronic circuits involving breadboarding and basic wiring \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProgram behavior using the Arduino Programming Language \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInterface and influence the physical world through motors and sensors \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWho this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     \u003cem\u003eEscape from Gemini Station: An Arduino Hands-On Adventure\u003c\/em\u003e is suitable for ages 8 and up.
