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.

Summary


In this chapter, we have looked at the basic ideas of C programming on Arduino IDE. We learned about variables, data types, arrays, and strings. We have also learned about a few operations using strings. To those who are new to both Arduino programming and C programming, my advice is, don't skip this chapter. Study the whole chapter carefully and do all the exercises assigned to you. Remember, do not copy the code from the book directly; it may cause errors on the Arduino IDE, since Arduino does not support Unicode character encodings.

If you have done all the exercises and studied the chapter, then you are most welcome to move onto the next chapter, Blinking with Operations and Loops, where we will learn about more exciting features of Arduino.
