: Arduino Adventures: Escape from Gemini Station provides a fun introduction :
: to the Arduino microcontroller by putting you (the reader) into the action :
: of a science fiction adventure story. You'll find yourself following along:
: as Cade and Elle explore Gemini Station—an orbiting museum dedicated to :
: preserving and sharing technology throughout the centuries. :
: :
: Trouble ensues. The station is evacuated, including Cade and Elle's class :
: that was visiting the station on a field trip. Cade and Elle don’t make it :
: aboard their shuttle and are trapped on the station along with a friendly :
: artificial intelligence named Andrew who wants to help them get off the :
: damaged station. Using some old hardware, a laptop, and some toolboxes full:
: of electronics parts, you will follow along and build eight gizmos with :
: Cade and Elle that will help them escape from Gemini Station. :
: :
: The hardware is Arduino. Each new challenge opens a new area of Arduino and:
: basic electronics knowledge. You’ll be taken incrementally from a simple :
: task such as turning on a light through to a complex combination of :
: microcontroller, electronic components, and software programming. By the :
: end of the book you’ll be well on your way towards being able to create and:
: implement any sort of electronically controlled device you can imagine, :
: using the stunningly popular Arduino microcontroller. :
