Review: I am a recently retired engineer, counting myself as computer literate, across the likes of MS Office, GIS, CAD etc. with extensive coding and scripting experience in the latter two, as well as ‘turnkey’ development in BASIC. I’ve dabbled in a number of computer languages but not C (the basis of Arduino coding). With more time on my hands, I have been looking at the Arduino platform to facilitate mechanising some aspects of my erstwhile hobby - photography – specifically panning and tracking for video clips, both realtime and in timelapse. This book seemed to be the ideal first step and I was pleased to read in the Introduction that it seemed that the book was written for me! The author setting out roughly who his target reader is - those having a little computer knowledge but little hands-on electronics experience. The book is a black & white imprint (via desertcart); unfortunately, it is more a greyscale impression rather than B&W. Some of the illustrations lose their impact and clarity, with coloured wires etc. with detail in the diagrams merging. It is therefore useful and very commendable for the author to offer a free service of forwarding, via email, a PDF of his original text, with full colour images. desertcart offers the same but I couldn’t see how to achieve this “two in one service” via the desertcart app . The book is very well structured, with explanations for those with no electronic experience; the basic components explained and their applications outlined. Number systems e.g. binary are covered, including why and how computers, microcontrollers, etc. need to operate at the simplest level (off and on!) The book then approaches the Arduino platform, from its beginnings, to the various current ‘flavours’ of the hardware and related ‘bits and bobs’ and then on to the IDE (integrated development environment) i.e. the software within which Arduino programming (sketches) are formed and uploaded to and run on the hardware. Examples are given, explained and walked through, so that the reader develops a clear understanding of how things work and how their own projects may be approached. Advice on avoiding potential pitfalls will certainly be useful later. The book would seem to have been translated from the author’s native German. Conventions widely used in Europe are used (e.g. commas for decimal points and full stops for thousands dividers) and have not been converted for this edition, to those adopted by most English speaking nations. The choice of some words seems a little out of the ordinary but not to the point of confusing or misleading. A couple of times I spotted errors e.g. “A potentiometer, often called a potentiometer for short,”, which will likely get picked up in future editions, either of the printed version or the kindly supplied PDF. Not wishing to unduly criticise the author, I will offer him my thoughts with a marked up copy of his PDF for constructive observations on potential use of words, phrases, etc. that might make it more ‘natural’ for the English reader: plus point out the typos (very few) I have spotted. In summary, the book is well structured, with the various subjects explained in sufficient detail so that the subject is covered but not to put the reader off, or leaving them fealing like there was more to explain. Clearly, the Arduino platform is already used extensively and becoming more widely adopted by a whole host of developers for a whole host of reasons and projects. This book, of just over 100 pages, cannot do the subject full justice but it achieves what it sets out to achieve – a good grounding, providing enough knowledge and capability to develop one’s first project, with a whetting of the appetite to delve deeper into the subject. The cover of the book states that is aimed at those without prior knowledge and promises the creation of first project within a week – a goal which it easily achieves. I am extremely happy that I used this book as my guide, as a first foray into the world that is Arduino, and to be able to achieve what I set out to gain from using the platform. I have no doubt that other readers will think likewise. A truly useful text, that keeps one interested, captivated, and wanting to keep on coding. And besides, great value for money. Well done Benjamin ! Review: Ik heb 3 uitgaven van Benjamin Spahic, samen met de 3 gratis aan te vragen eBooks. Het zijn gemakkelijk leesbare interessante boeken. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08LNLC3LD | | Best Sellers Rank | #131,942 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #153 in Computer Hardware & DIY | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (216) | | Dimensions | 15.24 x 0.64 x 22.86 cm | | Edition | Standard Edition | | ISBN-13 | 979-8551464921 | | Item weight | 159 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 112 pages | | Publication date | 23 October 2020 | | Publisher | Independently Published | ## Images ![Independently Published Arduino Without Prior Knowledge: Create your own first project within 7 days - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tXUN3BkKS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***R on 8 October 2024* I am a recently retired engineer, counting myself as computer literate, across the likes of MS Office, GIS, CAD etc. with extensive coding and scripting experience in the latter two, as well as ‘turnkey’ development in BASIC.

Well done Benjamin ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***Y on 27 January 2026* Ik heb 3 uitgaven van Benjamin Spahic, samen met de 3 gratis aan te vragen eBooks. Het zijn gemakkelijk leesbare interessante boeken. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***N on 4 March 2024* This is the book to read first. It is a short book, just over 100 pages, but packed with knowledge you need to get started on Arduino. Arthur Benjamin Spahic wrote a very fine book: He cuts through the fluff and gives you what you need to begin the Arduino adventure. The first dozen pages cover the fundamentals of electrical engineering in a language one can understand. Next, comes a nice bit of detail on the make up of the Arduino family of devices and how to use them. There is a good rundown of programming basics, so you will know what all that code you type in means. Then comes information on how to download and install the IDE that lets you load the code into your Arduino. Included are 3 projects to hone your skills. The book ends with a great summary of beginner mistakes and how to prevent and correct them. When you get your book, be sure to look at the end of the book for information on obtaining a free PDF of the book (With Excellent color illustrations and photos) Plus the .INO files for the projects that you can quickly load without typing in all the coding by hand. The Arthur personally responds and actively encourages questions and feedback you may have. This is a very inexpensive but rich book that I recommend for beginners and experienced alike. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arduino Without Prior Knowledge: Create your own first project within 7 days (Become an Engineer Without Prior Knowledge) - Electrical engineering without prior knowledge: Understand the basics within 7 days (Become an Engineer Without Prior Knowledge) - Beginner's Guide to Reading Schematics, Fourth Edition --- ## 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.ph/products/560456181-independently-published-arduino-without-prior-knowledge-create-your-own-first](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/560456181-independently-published-arduino-without-prior-knowledge-create-your-own-first) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
