It is a truly rare and exciting treat when a fellow Maker pours their heart and soul into a work that radically enriches the Maker Community as a whole – and even more so, when it’s both free and open source.

Ultimate Arduino Handbook creator, Mark Maffei has done exactly that under a Creative Commons BY SA license via the Internet Archive.
It contains well over 200 pages of pure gold content covering the entire spectrum of Arduino awesomeness, with a distinct focus on neurohacking (aka “brainhacking, “consciousness hacking”).

From its crisp, clean layout to its well-organized navigational structure, the Ultimate Arduino Handbook is an indispensable and truly savory handbook for avid Arduino aficionados of all different knowledge and skill levels.
