致中国读者
I am delighted for this opportunity to welcome Chinese readers to the 3rd Edition of Getting Started with Arduino. I would like to thank the editors for the excellent work they have done in making this book available to Chinese readers.
听到《爱上Arduino(第3版)》即将和中国读者见面的消息,我很高兴。在这里要感谢人民邮电出版社的编辑们在这其中付出的辛苦,使本书能够及时的呈现在中国读者面前。
The intended audience for this book includes those who have just barely heard of Arduino, those who have heard of Arduino but are not sure what it is, and those who know what Arduino is but are afraid they won't be able to work with it.
本书面向的读者包括那些仅仅只是听过Arduino这个名词的人,或是听过Arduino但不是太清楚具体这是怎样一个硬件的人,再或者是知道什么是Arduino但是担心自己学不会的人。
This book will explain what Arduino is and why it was created, will teach you how to build projects based on Arduino, and will give you the confidence to get started. This book assumes no prior knowledge. This book starts with a calming and reassuring chapter on the non-engineering tinkering philosophy behind Arduino, and ends with a helpful troubleshooting chapter in case things go wrong.
本书会给你解释Arduino是什么,以及为什么会产生这样一块板子。同时还会教你如何利用Arduino搭建一个项目,让你对开始使用Arduino有信心。本书不需要任何前期的知识,开篇的章节从Arduino体现的非工程师视角的改造理念平缓展开,*终以针对各种问题排疑解惑的内容作为*书结束。
I am particularly happy with the hand drawn sketches by Luisa Castiglioni and Judy Castro. Hand drawn sketches allow us to call attention to the important details, and to leave out irrelevant visual distractions. By cleverly adapting perspectives, the sketches better show how components are placed and connected.
书中的插图都是Luisa Castiglioni和Judy Castro手绘的,这点让我感到非常高兴。手绘的形式能够剔除干扰我们的无效视觉信息,让我们把注意力放在重要的细节上。通过巧妙的视角,插图能够更好地体现元器件是如何摆放和连接的。
Massimo and I welcome you to the world of Arduino and sincerely hope you find this book useful, inspiring, and fun.
Massimo和我很高兴你能进入Arduino的世界,我们真心希望这本书能让你感到它有用、有料、有趣。
