Summary
Your first four projects covered a lot of ground. You now know the basics of reading inputs and turning LEDs on and off. You are beginning to build your electronic knowledge by understanding how LEDs and resistors work, how resistors can be used to limit current, and how they can be used to pull an input high or low according to your needs. You should also now be able to pick up a resistor and work out its value in ohms just by looking at its colored bands. Your understanding of the Arduino programming language is well underway and you have been introduced to a number of commands and concepts.
The skills learned in Chapter 2 are the foundation for even the most complex Arduino project. In Chapter 3, you will continue to use LEDs to create ...
