In the preface, it states that all code included in the book are available for download from the companion website (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596154141); however, the sample code zip file only includes a handful of code (examples from chapters 13 & 14 and a few others). Where can I find the full download with all the code? |

Printed | Page 28 String paragraph |
string is mentioned here as a simple type in c++. This is not correct. in C++ string is a class. This can be confusing for instance by trying out the examples on p. 139 and p. 147, where you have to #include <string> before they will work. Using strings as a simple type goes the same way as with the Arduino, with char[]. Great book btw! |

Printed | Page 77 "Downloading Libraries" |
The version in use is Processing 1.1 with Windows Vista. On page 77 of the book there is the section describing how to download and install a library. It says to extract the zip file into the libraries folder of the Processing sketchbook directory. Processing automatically calls the sketchbook directory "Processing" whereas the installation of Processing (by unzipping the Processing zip file) calls its home directory "processing-1.1". |

it says the definitions for power, voltage, and ground are in the back of the book, but only voltage it defined. |

I believe that the 10 K resistor should go to either 5V or to ground, not to the input of the digital input/output. Constructing as shown grounds out the power supply. |

In addition to my other remark. Because string is a class and not a simple type, you can't use the printf statement at all.One has to use the cout statement instead like this: |
