This book extends the Arduino Uno starter kits and increases knowledge of microcontrollers in electronic applications. It shows how to build complex Arduino projects, break them down into smaller ones and then enhance them. Each chapter is separated into multiple sections, offering diagrams, samples and explanations of code. Many chapters offer project-based activities that incorporate the content from previous chapters into a culminating task.

This book approaches the teaching Python using Jython in a unique manner related to media computation. Students learn principles of computer science while manipulating images, sounds, text, and other media. Problems are provided at the end of each chapter and teacher resources are available online.
