C Programming for Arduino

By: Julien Bayle

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.

About the Author

Julien Bayle completed his Master's degree in Biology and Computer Sciences in 2000. After several years working with pure IT system design, he founded Design the Media in early 2010 in order to provide his own courses, training, and tools for art fields. As a digital artist, he has designed some huge new media art installations, such as the permanent exhibition of La Maison des Cinématographies de la Méditerranée (Château de la Buzine) in Marseille, France, in 2011. He has also worked as a new media technology consultant for some private and public entities. As a live AV performer, he plays his cold electronic music right from New York to Marseille where he actually lives. The Arduino framework is one of his first electronic hardware studies since early 2005, and he also designed the famous protodeck controller with various open source frameworks. As an Art and Technology teacher also certified by Ableton in 2010, he teaches a lot of courses related to the digital audio workstation Ableton Live, the real-time graphical programming framework Max 6, and Processing and Arduino.

As a minimalist digital artist, he works at the crossroads between sound, visual, and data. He explores the relationship between sounds and visuals through his immersive AV installations, his live performances, and his released music. His work, often described as "complex, intriguing, and relevant", tries to break classical codes to bring his audience a new vision of our world through his pure digital and real-time-generated stimuli.

He's deeply involved in the open source community and loves to share and provide workshops and masterclasses online and on-site too. His personal website is http://julienbayle.net.
