Beginning C for Arduino Second Edition is written for those who have no prior experience with
microcontrollers or programming but would like to experiment and learn both. Updated with new
projects and new boards this book introduces you to the C programming language reinforcing
each programming structure with a simple demonstration of how you can use C to control the
Arduino family of microcontrollers. Author Jack Purdum uses an engaging style to teach good
programming techniques using examples that have been honed during his 25 years of university
teaching. Beginning C for Arduino Second Edition will teach you: The C programming language
How to use C to control a microcontroller and related hardware How to extend C by creating your
own libraries including an introduction to object-oriented programming During the course of
the book you will learn the basics of programming such as working with data types making
decisions and writing control loops. You'll then progress onto some of the trickier aspects of
C programming such as using pointers effectively working with the C preprocessor and
tackling file I O. Each chapter ends with a series of exercises and review questions to test
