Beginning C for Arduino is written for those who have no prior
experience with microcontrollers or programming but would like to
experiment and learn both. This book introduces you to the C programming
language, reinforcing each programming structure with a simple
demonstration of how you can use C to control the Arduino family of
microcontrollers. Author Jack Purdum uses an engaging style to teach
good programming techniques using examples that have been honed during
his 25 years of university teaching.
Beginning C for Arduino will teach you:
- The C programming language
- How to use C to control a microcontroller and related hardware
- How to extend C by creating your own library routines
During the course of the book, you will learn the basics of programming,
such as working with data types, making decisions, and writing control
loops. You'll then progress onto some of the trickier aspects of C
programming, such as using pointers effectively, working with the C
preprocessor, and tackling file I/O. Each chapter ends with a series of
exercises and review questions to test your knowledge and reinforce what
you have learned.
