Overview of this book

This book will start with the fundamentals of C programming and programming topics, such data types, functions, decision making, program loops, pointers, and structures, with the help of an Arduino board. Then you will get acquainted with Arduino interactions with sensors, LEDs, and autonomous systems and setting up the Arduino environment. Moving on you will also learn how to work on the digital and analog I/O, establish serial communications with autonomous systems, and integrate with electronic devices. By the end of the book, you will be able to make basic projects such as LED cube and smart weather system that leverages C.

Preface

Chapter 3. Exploring C with Arduino IDE

In the last chapter, we learned about basic Arduino coding. We also played with LEDs using an Arduino, by programming the microcontroller through the Arduino IDE. In this chapter, we are going to learn more about the C programming used for coding in Arduino IDE. We will also go deeper into C and some simple circuits in this chapter. We will learn about the data types of C, how we can declare our variables in C, how we can take an input and print in C, some mathematical operations, arrays, and strings. Let's start our journey into exploring C programming with Arduino IDE.
