This thorough introduction, updated for the latest Arduino IDE release and the new ARM-based boards, helps you start prototyping right away. From obtaining the required components to putting the final touches on your project, all the information you need is here! Getting started with the Arduino is a snap! To use the introductory examples in this guide, all you need is an Arduino Uno or Nano, along with a USB cable and an LED. The easy-to-use, free Arduino development environment runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Join hundreds of thousands of hobbyists who have discovered this incredible (and educational) platform. In Getting Started with Arduino , you will learn about: Interaction design and physical computing The Arduino board and its software environment Basics of electricity and electronics Prototyping on a solderless breadboard Drawing a schematic diagram Using the Cloud IDE and the new Arduino IoT Cloud Building a custom plant-watering system Making a WiFi-enabled internet fistbump Written by Massimo Banzi, the co-founder of Arduino and Michael Shiloh, Arduino educational lead. Review: A great intro/tutorial! - This was a very nice tutorial on getting started with Arduino controllers. I'd suggest buying the Make Electronics as a companion. Even if you've never done anything like this before, these books will getbyou started! Review: Not for the casual beginner. - On first opening the book I was rather put off. The book is poorly written and disorganized. I am fairly knowledgeable of computer programming and electronics and i got lost right away. Many of the paragraphs jump between simple concepts and right into technical terms about the Arduino without any explanations tying the ideas together. I will be going to the examples and using the hands on approach to learning what is in the book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #53,913 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Single Board Computers (Books) #8 in Robotics (Books) #15 in Robotics & Automation (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 136 Reviews | ## Images ![Getting Started With Arduino: The Open Source Electronics Prototyping Platform (Make) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815Db6pJBYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great intro/tutorial! *by J***. on September 30, 2025* This was a very nice tutorial on getting started with Arduino controllers. I'd suggest buying the Make Electronics as a companion. Even if you've never done anything like this before, these books will getbyou started! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for the casual beginner. *by R***5 on February 15, 2026* On first opening the book I was rather put off. The book is poorly written and disorganized. I am fairly knowledgeable of computer programming and electronics and i got lost right away. Many of the paragraphs jump between simple concepts and right into technical terms about the Arduino without any explanations tying the ideas together. I will be going to the examples and using the hands on approach to learning what is in the book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ok for beginners! *by R***H on April 24, 2022* Pros: it is a great book for beginners at Arduino (it is not, and shouldn’t be a “how to program” book. Cons: Explanation of breadboards is in an appendix, which I didn’t see until much later. Would’ve been nice to be reminded of that at the beginning of the book (say it! NOOB!). Some projects require hardware (I.e., the Lamp) that you won’t have on hand. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/370101806-getting-started-with-arduino-the-open-source-electronics-prototyping-platform](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/370101806-getting-started-with-arduino-the-open-source-electronics-prototyping-platform) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
