Arduino Reference Books - Free Access E-books via UML Library

The UML library provides access to many e-books and quite a few of these ebook titles deal with the Arduino.

The book "Exploring Arduino - Tools and Techniques for Engineering Wizardry" by Jeremy Blum is a companion book to a set of YouTube tutorial videos that provide a very good introduction to the Arduino platform.

Instructions on how to gain access to the ebook


Step 1. - Go to UML Library page and enter Arduio as the keyword


Step 2: Select the option "View Now" for the listing for "Exploring Arduino..."


Step 3: If you are off campus, you will need to log into the UML Library system using your UML email address and password



Step 4: You are then directed to the ProQuest ebrary site and you have the options to either "Read Online" or "Full Dowload". The full download requires you to download and install "Adobe Digital Editions" which will allow you to use the downloaded copy for 14 days.



Step 5: The online reading interface is quite robust and the book figures are in color - which is a big bonus over the print edition.

And so we begin...

This is the first post of our design team blog. We are using this blog to document our design process.

We are not sure what to write yet so we have decided to spend some time figuring out how to use this interface. As you can see we have figured out how to insert images from the web.
