Building an Arduino-Compatible Breadboard Microcontroller

Get started with Mint Duino, the Maker Shed kit that’s perfect for learning or teaching the fundamentals of how microcontrollers work. This hands-on book shows you how to build a complete Mint Duino project from start to finish. Learn how to assemble the microcontroller on a breadboard (no soldering required), and immediately begin programming it.You’ll build the Mint Duino Reflex Game in five separate stages or sub-tasks. Breaking down a large project into manageable tasks helps you track down errors quickly, and lets you see how each part of the circuit works. Once you complete the game, you’ll have the resources and experience to tackle more Mint Duino projects. If youre interested in the fascinating world of microcontrollers, you’ll enjoy this book.Wire up and program the Mint Duino to light an LEDBuild a game that tests the reflexes of two players Learn how to make your game light glow at random intervals Construct a pushbutton circuit to control individual players LEDs Put all of the components together, including simple code to control your game
