C Programming for Arduino

Overview of this book

Physical computing allows us to build interactive physical systems by using software & hardware in order to sense and respond to the real world. C Programming for Arduino will show you how to harness powerful capabilities like sensing, feedbacks, programming and even wiring and developing your own autonomous systems. C Programming for Arduino contains everything you need to directly start wiring and coding your own electronic project. You'll learn C and how to code several types of firmware for your Arduino, and then move on to design small typical systems to understand how handling buttons, leds, LCD, network modules and much more. After running through C/C++ for the Arduino, you'll learn how to control your software by using real buttons and distance sensors and even discover how you can use your Arduino with the Processing framework so that they work in unison. Advanced coverage includes using Wi-Fi networks and batteries to make your Arduino-based hardware more mobile and flexible without wires. If you want to learn how to build your own electronic devices with powerful open-source technology, then this book is for you.

Summary


In this long chapter, we learned to deal with many things, including monochromatic LEDs to RGB LEDs, using shift registers and transistor arrays, and even introduce the LCD display. We dug a bit deeper into displaying visual feedbacks from the Arduino without necessarily using a computer.

In many cases of real life design, we can find projects using Arduino boards totally standalone and, without a computer. Using special libraries and specific components, we now know that we can make our Arduino feeling, expressing, and reacting.

In the following chapter, we are going to explain and dig into some other concepts, such as making Arduino move and eventually generating sounds too.
