Arduino is an open-source platform that makes DIY electronics projects easier than ever. Readers with no electronics experience can create their first gadgets within a few minutes. This book is up-to-date for the new Arduino Uno board, with step-by-step instructions for building a universal remote, a motion-sensing game controller, and many other fun, useful projects. See "some photos": http://www.flickr.com/photos/50804036@N0​6/sets/72157624195730498/ of projects built by our readers over on Flickr. (And if you have photos of your project, please send them to
