在克里斯．安德森（Chris Anderson）所著「自造者時代：啟動人人製造的第三次工業革命」提到，過去幾年，世界來到了一個重要里程碑：實體製造的過程愈來愈像軟體設計，開放原始碼創造了軟體大量散布與廣泛使用，如今，實體物品上也逐漸發生同樣的效應。網路社群中的程式設計師從Linux作業系統出發，架設了今日世界上絕大部分的網站（Apache WebServer），到使用端廣受歡迎的FireFox瀏覽器等，都是開放原始碼軟體的最佳案例。 現在自造者社群（Maker Space）也正藉由開放原始碼硬體，製造出電子產品、科學儀器、建築物，甚至是3C產品。其中如Arduino開發板，銷售量已遠超過當初設計者的預估。連網路巨擘Google Inc.也加入這場開放原始碼運動，推出開放原始碼電子零件，讓大家發明出來的硬體成品，也能與Android軟體連結、開發與應用。 目前全球各地目前有成千上萬個「自造空間」（makerspace）─光是上海就有上百個正在籌備中，多自造空間都是由在地社群所創辦。如聖馬特奧市（SanMateo）的自造者博覽會（Maker Faire），每年吸引數10萬名自造者前來朝聖，彼此觀摩學習。但不光是美國，全球各地還有許多自造者博覽會，台灣一年一度也於當地舉辦Maker Fair Taiwan，數十萬的自造者（Maker）參予了每年一度的盛會。 本系列「Maker系列」由此概念而生。面對越來越多的知識學子，也希望成為自造者（Make），追求創意與最新的技術潮流，筆著因應世界潮流與趨勢，思考著「如何透過逆向工程的技術與手法，將現有產品開發技術轉換為我的知識」的思維，如果我們可以駭入產品結構與設計思維，那麼了解產品的機構運作原理與方法就不是一件難事了。更進一步我們可以將原有產品改造、升級、創新，並可以將學習到的技術運用其他技術或新技術領域，透過這樣學習思維與方法，可以更快速的掌握研發與製造的核心技術，相信這樣的學習方式，會比起在已建構好的開發模組或學習套件中學習某個新技術或原理，來的更踏實的多。 本系列的書籍，因應自造者運動的世界潮流，希望讀者當一位自造者，將現有產品的產品透過逆向工程的手法，進而了解核心控制系統之軟硬體，再透過簡單易學的Arduino單晶片與C語言，重新開發出原有產品，進而改進、加強、創新其原有產品的架構。如此一來，因為學子們進行「重新開
