Welcome to the Cumbria & Scottish Borders Area Group Forum

 Davy Dick wrote the original book in 2014 and has made it available for MERG and potential MERG members to download. He has obviously been using his "lockdown" spare time to update and write new Chapters for this really useful publication. It further benefits by being split into 28 Chapters and an Appendix which are downloadable separately, rather then the original's two parts making it much easier to drill down to the relevant information. I particularly liked the new Chapters on Animation and 3D Printing/ Have a look for yourself. Thanks Davy - your a star. Andy R

The third edition is now available. I was tempted to buy an earlier version but a lot has happened to the available Arduino devices since the second edition was published in 2012. This is not really a beginners book for Arduino or for programming in C, but its eighteen chapters and seven appendices makes it an excellent sourcebook for writing code that works. With the introduction of chips like ESP32 and beyond, the chapters on Wireless, Bluetooth, WiFi and Ethernet are particularly welcome. The layout using Discussions, Problems and Solutions makes the book very readable and with over 200 coding examples the forty pound price tag is quite reasonable. I think if your serious about learning and using Arduinos on your layout projects, then the  Arduino Cookbook 3rd Edition should be on your bookshelf  

Welcome to the site which has been set up for all members of the Scottish Borders Group of MERG.  As you know, I have been working on various Arduino projects recently including the station and cafe displays.  There are many resources available online when you come across a problem but a good reference book which explains how things work is essential.  I have tried a few and found the following book the best so far. It is well written and laid out logically for the beginner to be able to develop new skills. The structure of the Chapters makes it easy to find the relevant section.   By clicking on the link below you will be able to look inside and see for yourself. https://amzn.to /38HfrWW If you decide to purchase through this link  you should be aware that I will receive a small commission on any sales generated which will help to finance further projects Andy R
