Overview of this book

C++ is a great choice for embedded development, most notably, because it does not add any bloat, extends maintainability, and offers many advantages over different programming languages. Hands-On Embedded Programming with C++17 will show you how C++ can be used to build robust and concurrent systems that leverage the available hardware resources. Starting with a primer on embedded programming and the latest features of C++17, the book takes you through various facets of good programming. You’ll learn how to use the concurrency, memory management, and functional programming features of C++ to build embedded systems. You will understand how to integrate your systems with external peripherals and efficient ways of working with drivers. This book will also guide you in testing and optimizing code for better performance and implementing useful design patterns. As an additional benefit, you will see how to work with Qt, the popular GUI library used for building embedded systems. By the end of the book, you will have gained the confidence to use C++ for embedded programming.

Functional modules


Here is a list of modules in this firmware:

Name

Feature

Description

THP

Temperature, Humidity, Pressure

Central class for THP sensors. Enables BME280 functionality by default.

CO2

CO2 value

Measures CO2 <indexentry content="functional modules, Building Management and Control (BMaC):CO2">values using an MH-Z19 or compatible sensor.

Jura

TopTronics EEPROM counters

Reads out the counters for various products from the EEPROM.

JuraTerm

TopTronics remote control

Allows a remote service to send TopTronics (classic, v5-style) commands to a supported coffee machine.

Motion

Motion detection

Uses an HC-SR501 PIR motion sensor or compatible to detect motion.

PWM

PWM output

Sets a pulse-width modulation output on one or more pins.

I/O

I/O expansion

Supports the MCP23008 eight-channel I/O expander module via I2C.

Switch

Persistent switch

Controls a switch that uses a latching relay or equivalent for switching.

Plant

Watering plants

Reads out an analog soil sensor to determine soil humidity, activating a pump...
