Books
There's still something nice about having a printed book by your side, propped open
with personalised sticky notes or pencil marks or turned over page corners, when
working through your Minecraft adventures. Both Martin and David have learnt a lot
from these other authors as well, and think that you'll find many additional projects
and ideas that will complement your learning and fun gained from this topic. In par-
ticular, Becky Stewart's book “Adventures in Arduino” is a really nice follow on if you
are using a PC/Mac and enjoyed the electronic circuits you built in Adventures 5, 9 and
the Bonus Adventure. The Arduino Pro Micro that we used is compatible with most if
not all of the projects in Becky's book, and you can follow the instructions on the
Sparkfun website to learn how to re-program the firmware inside the Arduino Pro
Micro to make it do anything you want.
