We all know how awesome LEGO is, and more and more people are discovering how many amazing things you can do with Arduino. In Arduino and LEGO Projects, Jon Lazar shows you how to combine two of the coolest things on the planet to make fun gadgets like a Magic Lantern RF reader, a sensor-enabled LEGO music box, and even an Arduino-controlled LEGO train set.
- Learn that SNOT is actually cool (it means Studs Not on Top)
- See detailed explanations and images of how everything fits together
- Learn how Arduino fits into each project, including code and explanations
Whether you want to impress your friends, annoy the cat, or just kick back and bask in the awesomeness of your creations, Arduino and LEGO Projects shows you just what you need and how to put it all together.
What you’ll learn
- LEGO SNOT (Studs Not On Top) technique for smooth-sided LEGO projects
- How to incorporate sensors into your LEGO projects
- Using Arduino to control motors in LEGO projects
- How to make an LEGO pet
- How to create your own Crystal Ball RF reader
- How to make an Arduino-animated LEGO TARDIS
Who this book is for
Both LEGO and Arduino enthusiasts, and anyone interested in making fun, unique gadgets with LEGO and Arduino.

I have been playing with Arduino for two years. The fun thing about Arduino is that it is relatively easy to play with. Consequently it is a lot of fun. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to realize your idea. From that angle, LEGO is an interesting approach to build simple objects. This book shows simple schematics and jump into building LEGO blocks. You should be able to get all required parts over the Internet at reasonable price.
My complaint is that small details are left out unexplained. For example, chapter 1 involves a motor shield and servo motor. It does not say which pin connects to which part of motor shield. There is a picture (figure 1-8) and schematic (figure 1-9). One shows motor shield and the other is Arduino UNO without shield. I don't see the explanations between those two. Wouldn't it be nice to have a bit of explanations on what a servo is and how to connect them (Red=+5, Brown=GND, Orange=Signal(pin 9 for this code).
Along with lack of explanations, I see small errors. Schematic (figure 1-9) shows the switch is connected to pin 12. In the code below says SwitchPin=2;.
The book plants a seed and the rest is up to readers. You will have to look for complementary information to make it work.

I really love it because I can easily get something out of it.
The language is straight forward and concise.
