Acknowledgments

Once again, many thanks to Bill Pollock and the fantastic team at No Starch Press for their dedicated support and guidance in the creation of this book, particularly Liz Chadwick and Serena Yang for being so patient through the process. Thanks also to Sam Stratter for his technical reviews and suggestions.

This book wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the inspirational Arduino founders; Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis. Thank you again for introducing me and the world to the wonder that is Arduino.

Special thanks to Warwick Smith, James Newbould, Joey Meyer, Chase Cooley, Onur Avun, Nick Koumaris, Chris Campbell, Mouad Er Rafay, Pololu, and Brainy-Bits.com for their amazing support and kind permission to reproduce their projects. The creativity of the ever-growing Arduino community never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks to everyone who read Arduino Project Handbook, Volume 1 for the kind words and messages of encouragement—it’s made writing this volume that little bit easier.

Finally, I have to thank my wonderful wife, Emily, for being so supportive and patient over the last year—I promise that my “man cave” will not expand any further!
