Quick Starter Notes: C++ for Arduino Beginners

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,

sensors, and alarms.

2. Basic C++ Syntax

Each command ends with a semicolon (;). Curly braces {} group multiple lines of code. Code is

case-sensitive. Comments are added with // or /* */.

3. Variables and Data Types

Variables store information.

Common types:

- int (integers)

- float (decimals)

- bool (true/false)

- char (single character)

4. Operators

Perform operations.

+ Addition, - Subtraction, * Multiplication, / Division, == Equal to, != Not equal to

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.

7. Arduino Specific Functions

pinMode(pin, mode); digitalWrite(pin, value); delay(ms); digitalRead(pin); are key functions for Arduino.

8. Simple Arduino Sketch Example

Blinking LED code using pin 13. Turn LED ON for 1s and OFF for 1s continuously.

9. Practice Questions

1. Blink LED three times.

2. Turn LED on with button press.

3. Count from 1 to 10 using for loop.

4. Create buzzer function.

5. Blink LED twice as fast.

10. Important Tips

Save code often. Match every { with }. Use clear variable names. Test small pieces of code.
