An introduction to Arduino (PDF), microcontrollers and electrical circuits by Alan Smith.

This document is intended to get the beginner started with Arduino by creating projects. It goes a little more in depth than most introductions by branching out to things like LCD screens, tilt sensors and joystick input after covering the basics. Concepts that will be covered include:

• Software setup
• Input and Output
• Analog and digital sensors
• Sound
• LCD screens, tilt sensors and josticks
• Making your own project

There is no kit associated with this document but there is a list of components so you can decide which projects and activities to pursue.
