Preface
A few years ago I was given a very interesting
challenge: teach designers the bare minimum
in electronics so that they could build inter-
active prototypes of the objects they were
designing.
I started following a subconscious instinct to teach electronics the same way I was taught in school. Later on I realised that it simply wasn’t working as well as I would like, and started to remember sitting in a class, bored like hell, listening to all that theory being thrown at me without any practical application for it.
In reality, when I was in school I already knew electronics in a very empirical way: very little theory, but a lot of hands-on experience.
I started thinking about the process by which I really learned electronics:
of them and seeing what happened to the device: usually something between an explosion and a puff of smoke.
that I found in magazines to make them do new things.
As a little kid, I was always fascinated by discovering how things work; therefore, I used to take them apart. This passion grew as I targeted any unused object in the house and then took it apart into small bits. Even- tually, people brought all sorts of devices for me to dissect. My biggest

projects at the time were a dishwasher and an early computer that came from an insurance office, which had a huge printer, electronics cards, magnetic card readers, and many other parts that proved very interesting and challenging to completely take apart.
After quite a lot of this dissecting, I knew what electronic components were and roughly what they did. On top of that, my house was full of old electronics magazines that my father must have bought at the beginning of the 1970s. I spent hours reading the articles and looking at the circuit diagrams without understanding very much.
This process of reading the articles over and over, with the benefit of knowledge acquired while taking apart circuits, created a slow virtuous circle.
A great breakthrough came one Christmas, when my dad gave me a kit that allowed teenagers to learn about electronics. Every component was housed in a plastic cube that would magnetically snap together with other cubes, establishing a connection; the electronic symbol was written on top. Little did I know that the toy was also a landmark of German design, because Dieter Rams designed it back in the 1960s.
With this new tool, I could quickly put together circuits and try them out to see what happened. The prototyping cycle was getting shorter and shorter.
After that, I built radios, amplifiers, circuits that would produce horrible noises and nice sounds, rain sensors, and tiny robots.
I’ve spent a long time looking for an English word that would sum up that way of working without a specific plan, starting with one idea and ending up with a completely unexpected result. Finally, “tinkering” came along. I recognised how this word has been used in many other fields to describe a way of operating and to portray people who set out on a path of explora- tion. For example, the generation of French directors who gave birth to the “Nouvelle Vague” were called the “tinkerers”. The best definition of tinkering that I’ve ever found comes from an exhibition held at the Exploratorium in San Francisco:
Tinkering is what happens when you try something you don’t quite know how to do, guided by whim, imagination, and curiosity. When you tinker, there are no instructions—but there are also no failures, no right or wrong ways of doing things. It’s about figuring out how things work and reworking them.

Preface ix
1 / Introduction
Arduino is an open source physical computing
platform based on a simple input/output
(I/O) board and a development environment
that implements the Processing language
(www.processing.org). Arduino can be used
to develop standalone interactive objects
or can be connected to software on your
computer (such as Flash, Processing, VVVV,
or Max/MSP). The boards can be assembled
by hand or purchased preassembled; the
open source IDE (Integrated Development
Environment) can be downloaded for free
from www.arduino.cc.
Arduino is different from other platforms on the market because of these features:
and Linux.
development environment used by artists and designers.
because many modern computers don’t have serial ports.

about US$35) and replacing a burnt-out chip on the board is easy and costs no more than €5 or US$4. So you can afford to make mistakes.
who can help you.
is therefore great for newcomers to get things working quickly.
This book is designed to help beginners understand what benefits they can get from learning how to use the Arduino platform and adopting its philosophy.
This book was written for the “original” Arduino users: designers and artists. Therefore, it tries to explain things in a way that might drive some engineers crazy. Actually, one of them called the introductory chapters of my first draft “fluff”. That’s precisely the point. Let’s face it: most engineers aren’t able to explain what they do to another engineer, let alone a regular human being. Let’s now delve deep into the fluff.
NOTE: Arduino builds upon the thesis work Hernando Barragan did on the Wiring platform while studying under Casey Reas and me at IDII Ivrea.
After Arduino started to become popular, I realised how experimenters, hobbyists, and hackers of all sorts were starting to use it to create beauti- ful and crazy objects. I realised that you’re all artists and designers in your own right, so this book is for you as well.
Arduino was born to teach Interaction Design, a design discipline that puts prototyping at the centre of its methodology. There are many defini- tions of Interaction Design, but the one that I prefer is:
Interaction Design is the design of any interactive experience.
In today’s world, Interaction Design is concerned with the creation of meaningful experiences between us (humans) and objects. It is a good way to explore the creation of beautiful—and maybe even contro- versial—experiences between us and technology. Interaction Design encourages design through an iterative process based on prototypes
2 / The Arduino Way
The Arduino philosophy is based on making
designs rather than talking about them. It is
a constant search for faster and more power-
ful ways to build better prototypes. We have
explored many prototyping techniques and
developed ways of thinking with our hands.
Classic engineering relies on a strict process for getting from A to B; the Arduino Way delights in the possibility of getting lost on the way and finding C instead.
This is the tinkering process that we are so fond of—playing with the medium in an open-ended way and finding the unexpected. In this search for ways to build better prototypes, we also selected a number of soft- ware packages that enable the process of constant manipulation of the software and hardware medium.
The next few sections present some philosophies, events, and pioneers that have inspired the Arduino Way.
The Arduino Way 5
Tinkering
We believe that it is essential to play with technology, exploring different possibilities directly on hardware and software—sometimes without a very defined goal.
Reusing existing technology is one of the best ways of tinkering. Getting cheap toys or old discarded equipment and hacking them to make them do something new is one of the best ways to get to great results.

Patching
I have always been fascinated by modularity and the ability to build complex systems by connecting together simple devices. This process is very well represented by Robert Moog and his analogue synthesizers. Musicians constructed sounds, trying endless combinations by “patching together” different modules with cables. This approach made the synthesizer look like an old telephone switch, but combined with the numerous knobs, that was the perfect platform for tinkering with sound and innovating music. Moog described it as a process between “witnessing and discovering”. I’m sure most musicians at first didn’t know what all those hundreds of knobs did, but they tried and tried, refining their own style with no inter- ruptions in the flow.
Reducing the number of interruptions to the flow is very important for creativity—the more seamless the process, the more tinkering happens.
This technique has been translated into the world of software by “visual programming” environments like Max, Pure Data, or VVVV. These tools can be visualised as “boxes” for the different functionalities that they pro- vide, letting the user build “patches” by connecting these boxes together. These environments let the user experiment with programming without the constant interruption typical of the usual cycle: “type program, compile, damn—there is an error, fix error, compile, run”. If you are more visually minded, I recommend that you try them out.
