Hi,
I'm a bit new to Arduino and I was wondering if anyone out there would know where I could find tutorials on how to learn how to program with Arduino.
Thanks
Actually, the language is C++, and googling "arduino tutorial" should bury you in alternatives. I'd probably start with things from the arduino.cc site, but there are plenty of options.
I'm not sure that learning C (or C++) will be a benefit for *everything* in electronics, but it is a useful skill to have. Beware that C/C++ assume you know what you're doing and often provide little warning that you're about to do something stupid.
(from here)Arduino sketches are written in C++.
A typical construct you'll encounter in the examples is
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);
That's C++ not C.
If you are merely using existing libraries, you'll mostly use features in the C subset of C++. If you are interested in writing libraries, then a real understanding of C++ specific features like classes are a must, as in the LiquidCrystal example above.
As sketches are written in C++, I recommend a C++ book. There are subtle differences between C and the C subset of C++ that you really don't want to know about. In addition the more advanced features of C++ would be covered too if you need them.
Jaderman, I have not seen a response from you in here yet and am hoping that some of the supplied information is useful to you.Hi,
