1. Introduction
C++ is a powerful programming language widely used for controlling electronics like Arduino boards. Arduino
uses a simplified version of C++ to write programs (called sketches) that control devices like lights, motors,
Each command ends with a semicolon (;). Curly braces {} group multiple lines of code. Code is
Common types:
- int (integers)
- float (decimals)
- bool (true/false)
4. Operators
Perform operations.
5. Control Structures
Use if-else to control decisions, for loops for repeating tasks, while loops for conditions.
6. Functions
Functions organize code into reusable blocks. Example: void setup(){} and void loop(){} are two special
Arduino functions.
Quick Starter Notes: C++ for Arduino Beginners
pinMode(pin, mode); digitalWrite(pin, value); delay(ms); digitalRead(pin); are key functions for Arduino.
Blinking LED code using pin 13. Turn LED ON for 1s and OFF for 1s continuously.
9. Practice Questions
Save code often. Match every { with }. Use clear variable names. Test small pieces of code.
