Arduino 101 houses an Intel Curie module which offers a better performance at a lower power footprint. The module has two 32-bit MCUs - an x86 Intel Quark processor and an ARC EM4 processor along with 384kB flash memory and 80kB SRAM. These onboard MCUs combine a variety of new technologies including wireless communication via Bluetooth Low Energy, 6 axis motion sensor with an accelerometer, and a gyroscope. With this book, you will: Explore neural net pattern matching Have the Arduino learn gesture recognition Perfect for students, teachers, and hobbyists who need just enough information to get started with the Arduino 101.

Jumpstarting books provide an avenue for makers to quickly master topical knowledge! Each book starts with instructions on how to install or initialize the hardware or software needed to reach the "Hello, World" stage of getting started! The second project in the book builds on the first to use more of the hardware or software's capabilities. Later projects expand the user's knowledge into lesser-known aspects of the topic. All Jumpstarting projects are for Makers -- they provide hands-on, real-world experience in making the hardware or software do what you want it to do!
