New book and projects kit: An Arduino Workshop

Aiuto !

Boy oh boy, lots of research and review, all necessary just to get started with the research in my specific area of interest ! Is there a book or other resource(s) that deals with just multimedia stuff ?

As I understand it, the Arduino series has capabilities for heading in all sorts of different directions, hence the reference material too is all over the map. I am into building some of the missing links in my music performance setup, but don't know if there's anything more specifically geared toward my area of interest, which is MIDI and hardware interface/controllers. My controller designs utilize such things as buttons, sliders, pots, mini-touchscreens (if there is such a thing yet; OLED ? ), LCD's, breath controller, etc.

I have done some research into the MIDIBOX, but with the potential I see with Flash/Flex, I think the Arduino is likely the better way to go, but I'm really not sure. I would like to be able to zero in on the resources for these purposes. Is there a single place I might best be going to for that ?

I continue to research, but I also don't fully know how things operate yet. Do I need an EEPROM blower, or any other devices (other than soldering station and a VOM), or is it all PC/Mac/Linux based development ?? I used to be an electro-mechanical instrumentation tech in the aerospace industry, so I think I still remember the lingo.

:slight_smile:

Very curious to get rolling.
